[Private to the Deities]

A word, please.

Just one word?

Oh, all right:

Oh, clever. That joke's never been made before, I'm sure.

I'd like a trade. To have my life back.

Would you indeed?

It can be done.

There is a price.

I'm offering my memories of Yuffie and what we had here.

[OOC: He only means their relationship in the City, but if the Deities would like to take them all, I'm down with that. Or any other way you see for this to blow up in his face. XD;;;]

Your memories of Yuffie and what you had here. In other words your time together and ties together in the City.

I'm much more fond of taking a life for a life. That's the classic pattern.

I wonder what she'd think of this if she knew.

No one will die because of me. if another life is the only thing you'll accept, then this conversation can end now.

[Oh, I'm completely fine with them taking all his memories of her, including canon ones.]

And you can stay cold, still, silent--silent as the grave, etc.

Offer more.

This is a life. Your life. How much is it worth? Only your memories of her here?

You knew her before. Don't play pretend. I've the file.

Suppose I were to take those times too. Is it worth that?

My memories of her?

Only her, not those I have of Avalanche and the WRO? Those memories will remain in tact?

Only your memories of her.

It's a nasty, messy little procedure. I don't like doing it. It's verging on the Zero mark, and that's tedious to deal with at my age.

Yes. Your memories of Avalanche, landslide, falling rocks; the WRO, the WPA, the WWF, whatever else and wherever else, yes.

There will be a gap where she once stood. Silence where she once spoke. An empty seat at a table. An empty room.

No one in your memories will mention her name. Don't begin to ask me my methods for reconnecting those severed neurons--that's proprietary information. No one will see her. No one will speak to her.

It will be as though she was not there.

You will know forgetting.

And you will not be able to overcome it.

Don't let it drive you mad.

What is it with you people and your need to overqualify everything with evil monologue?

Yes, it's worth it. Fine. Take what you must.

You'd rob an old man of one of his few pleasures.

Done and one.

I've a signature there, there, there, an initial, and another signature. And a stamp. Not a long ordeal.

Now I need your signature.

And that's all that remains.

Yes. I'm a heartless bastard. I cry myself to sleep most nights I can't stand it so much.

Done.

You remind me of a colleague I had years ago.

Done.
