[Well. He's on the floor now and in pain from where he came in sudden contact with the floor. He could barely even follow with what was happening.]
Ow...
[Being kind of an idiot, he's going to attempt to stand up again, which is going to take longer for him than would be ideal in an actual combat situation.]
[He doesn't want to be too distracted by praise, though, since they're still sparring. Shuji pursues, trying to at least land a hit on Wesker before he inevitably gets his ass kicked. He'd feel proud of that much.]
[Silver will leave it at that, then; he waits from inside the zoo and realizes that it may have been a stupid idea to do this, given that he has no way to know that Wesker won't just... Not show up.
But there he is, trying to read a damn map, with Totodile standing next to him, which everyone has just decided is normal and cool. He'll probably have to go back in his ball so he doesn't freak out the Chocobos, but for now, he's a great buddy to hang out with.]
[Purposefully dial a wrong number and have a conversation with a stranger... that certainly can't be too difficult. After all, a stranger is just a friend you haven't made yet! Or a friendly acquaintance anyway.]
Hello there! I'm Goro Akechi, and I'd like to have a five minute conversation with you, if you aren't too busy.
Yes, that's right. I think the worst thing I've been asked to do is break into a building... or play a 250 square game of hopscotch, though that was just a test of endurance.
[In this heat? Hoo boy.]
Do you particularly enjoy fighting, or is it just coincidence?
...I'm not a pacifist, but it's not anything I'd ever had reason to do before. I enjoyed it more than I thought I would, however. Perhaps I'll take it up in some way.
[You know, more in a martial arts way than a street fighting for kicks sort of way.]
[...Please don't freak out the goddamn Chocobos with your tiny alligator, the last thing anybody here needs is to be thrown or bitten or...something.
That said, Wesker will arrive eventually, and he's probably overdressed for this (he's definitely overdressed for this) but this man hasn't been casual a single day in his life, most likely. So this will probably be fine.
...You will be getting the most expectant Look here, Silver. Hi.]
... He did not question it too hard because the young man who informed him sounded quite serious about it, and also seemed pretty disturbed, and it also got him a memory back? It's haunted him for like, two weeks now.]
To my knowledge, they caught the person who did it, but... It's still more than a little startlingly to think about, isn't it.
[Like, to say the least. Yeesh.]
But to back track a little -- you don't fully believe these are memories? I realize it's a rather popular theory, though I'm inclined to think they're more like visions of a parallel world myself.
I'm not sure what I believe. Metaphysical dealings have always been a bit beyond me; I work in hard science, so while conjecture surely has its place in the world, this seems more in line with being a matter of faith. Not precisely, mind, but close enough.
[...They're a fucking mess, Goro.]
I'm certain a fair few of us would prefer that you were right, either way - visions of some sort of parallel world would indicate that this is something that might have been, down a road not taken. As opposed to something that certainly came to be and as such reflects on us more strongly, in a manner of speaking.
In a manner of speaking. Someone I know told me that they might be set in stone, but the people we are now can be whatever and whoever we'd like; I find it comforting advice, if true.
[... Silver also got mad jealous that a ten year old was cooler than him, but. Details.]
Have you... met anyone that had the same visions as you?
