[oh shit that was raven's memory. one he doesn't have!]

... that was...

[auguryofinnocence]

...I thought it likely to happen and yet it's still strange.

[selfpreservationist]

... strange from this perspective, too.

[places a hand over his own chest for a moment, pensive]

I don't remember that.

[auguryofinnocence]

Well it's nothing terribly exciting. ...I didn't realise we knew her, though.

[selfpreservationist]

Vaguely. I don't even know her real name.

I hired Dante to kill Urizen originally, while obscuring my real identity. Considering the scope and mass of the target, it wasn't surprising he would have contacted his associates to help. There were two women--Pistol, and the other was...

[he makes a face]

I don't know who she is, but she looks exactly like our mother.

[auguryofinnocence]

...Exactly like our mother.

[He just has to take that in. He did see Raven's memory of them heading off to Urizen. But he didn't pay attention to their faces at the time.]

Her sister, maybe?

[selfpreservationist]

Twins running in the family wouldn't be surprising. But... there's something... wrong about her. She looks the same age mother did when we were children--while you and Dante are in your forties.

I don't think she's human.

[auguryofinnocence]

If she's a demon she must not be hostile if she's Dante's associate. Why would she look like that, then?

[Not that he expects an answer.]

[selfpreservationist]

[shakes his head]

What's more... she carried the Devil Sword Sparda. Her, not Dante.

[auguryofinnocence]

...How could Dante say nothing about this?

[selfpreservationist]

[huffs]

It wouldn't be the first time Dante deliberately hid information like that from us.

[auguryofinnocence]

No. But that seems particularly pertinent information.

[selfpreservationist]

Doesn't it. I suppose we'll just have to ask him about it later.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He sighs.]

As if he'll say anything even if we ask him.

What do you know about Pistol, only that she works with Dante?

[selfpreservationist]

She has a rocket launcher.

[...]

That's it.

[auguryofinnocence]

I saw that. I suppose that's...effective.

[That sure is one way to fight demons.]

Interesting that she's much younger here. But it looked like she came to Temen-ni-Gru. I doubt it was to help. So we may have a small problem depending on how she takes that.

[selfpreservationist]

I was still part of you back then, so... it's more your problem than mine, I'm afraid.

[auguryofinnocence]

Thank you for your undying support.

[selfpreservationist]

You're welcome.

[auguryofinnocence]

Make up your mind whether you want to lay claim to things in my life or not.

[selfpreservationist]

... it was meant to be a joke, Vergil. Fear not, I'm still part of you.

[auguryofinnocence]

[He waves a hand.]

So was I.

[selfpreservationist]

[no YOU'RE the joke]

...

Well then, it... appears we're both comedians.

[auguryofinnocence]

And not very good at it. Better find a new career.

[selfpreservationist]

[snorts]

As if we're fit for anything other than demon extermination.
