Both Doce's felt a sudden pang of worry when one of the new members stepped foreward and seemed to call her out on something. She acted confident, but... Well, this whole thing was basically a laugh or you'll cry situation. Minimizing and mocking the situation was one of her coping mechanisms. Actually though, teasing people to this extent wasn't like her?<br/><span style="font-style: italic">But it is like Eggy,</span>she realized.<span style="font-style: italic">This isn't the first time a new body's personality has gotten to me. After all, it's my consciousness but their body and their brain. They're still wired to conform more easily to certain habits and thought patterns. I only have so much control over that.</span><br/>Eggy looked over at Rain and knew that they were thinking the same thing, ultimately.<br/>"So... It's my fault?" Eggy frowned.<br/>Rain nodded with a portion of worry in her eyes. "Probably. Resisting the host's personality and messing with the way their brains work to stay more yourself is why you've been having so much trouble with your powers these past few bodies. We heard rumors about stuff like that in the beginning, right? People who gave in entirely in exchange for more power... You're just unlucky because Eggy's personality is so different from ours."<br/>Just as she was having a revelation, the newbie seemed to turn around and apologize for his rudeness.<br/>"My name this time is Eggy," she said to him, notably not making any apologies for her previous actions. "This is Rain. We're actually the same person, but she's my clone. And then we got stuck in different fictional bodies. If that's too confusing, just think of us as fraternal twins or something."<br/>She hesitated for a moment.<br/>"Although I make like I'm used to it, you might get a little rude too if you were sent to an alternate dimension, had your gender swapped, kidnapped, escaped, joined a resistance, destroyed a world, entered another parallel game world, gender swapped again, broke it just when it was getting fun, forced to fight fictional monsters in the real world, told you fucked up so bad that the only way to fix it is to go back in time, and had to start the whole damn thing over again!" She got slightly agitated at the end, and Rain hugged her and stroked her hair.<br/>"Shh... We're almost done, okay."<br/>"Sorry," she swallowed her tears and put on a calm face. "I'll wait to break down until after this is all over. Can we get moving already?" She glared at the surrounding resistance soldiers. Why were they still stopped to spectate something like this? Bastards.
