002 // simple solutions

[He smiles a bit, sitting back from the screen for a moment.]

So, it seems that we'll be leaving this place. Some of you seem...upset.

Not I! I am quite pleased to be rid of this place. But if it bothers you that much, I, the great GENIUS Dist the Rose, propose this:

Given the right materials, I could begin making replicas. In fact, I could even replicate the entire island. If we bring one Exile with us, I could make many more from them. You see? It matters not if I make a hundred or a hundred thousand! We could simply repopulate the island!

[He folds his hands in his lap, pleased.]

It's a simple solution, directly from the mind of a genius. You may thank me now.

Good that it's wasted, no one here would want a stupid idea like that that's neither elegant nor a solution.

And you know nothing. You're just a fool. A fool with an ego a million times bigger than his own head.

Virgil--

[ he doesn't want to say shut up and sit down, but at the same time, he doesn't want this to turn into a fight. sure, this douchebag might look like he has it coming, but there are better people to fight--more worthy ones, in riku's thought. ]

You're right. But leave it at that. He's not worth your time.

Are you listening to any of this? How can anyone be so stupid?

[ it's really hard to back off when he wants to smash his face into the ground, glasses and all. ]

[limitstorm]

Yeah, [ he's rubbing his forehead. ] I'm listening twice over. It doesn't make any sense.

I know you don't want anything else but to smash his face in, but you've gotta think.

[replicates]

[ he bristles at that but he does calm down slowly, the angry lines in his face loosening a little. ]

He's just like the Organization.

[ immediately larxene comes to mind, her creepy laugh that haunts his dreams; vexen and his freezing grip; axel's sharp grin, feeding him ideas and temptations while leading him to destruction. ]

I hate him.

[limitstorm]

[ there's hesitance there--riku isn't fond of throwing 'hate' around, but he can't say he doesn't see why he reacted that way. he probably would've, too. ]

Then ignore him. Don't give him a lick of your time. He's not even worth your hate.

[replicates]

He's too loud.

[ as in "too loud to ignore", but at least he's calmer now and less likely to do something stupid. ]

[limitstorm]

Then turn off your tablet. You need more practice with your dark roll, anyway.

[He make a frustrated sound.]

I DON'T HAVE TO TAKE THIS FROM THE LIKES OF YOU! YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING!

I know a lot more than you could ever hope to know about replicas. And that will never change.

[ultragorgeous]

I sincerely doubt that very much!

[After all, he did devote most of his life to creating them. That made him an expert!]

You think you're the only one who deals with replicas? You're pretty ignorant about the people here. Guess that's to be expected with fools like you.

[HE HOWLS]

I AM NO FOOL! YOU- YOU'RE JUST BOASTING! I WON'T HEAR ANYTHING MORE!

Fool.

[ he'll do Dist one better and turn the feed off himself. ]
