A Pleasant chat

Who: Major, Elaine
Where 10th Floor.
When: Retconned to immediately after he comes back to life.
Rating: Vile, because it's the Major
Summary: Major comes back to life, Elaine wants to talk.
the Story:   By now, the sensation of returning to life was not an unusual one. As much as it was a sensation and not a realization. He was alive, and now he was awake, and previously mangled bones were intact.

The room was unfamiliar, but he had a feeling he'd been take prisoner. And, he couldn't feel his hands -- that was a new twist, but an interesting one. He really ought to incorporate that if he took on 'guests' again...

"So you know, then." Seeu was right. She had hoped that she could show him his machine side, hoped that the realization would bring about some sort of change in him. Apparently, it only made him more self-absorbed. "And still you're obsessed with taking that samelife out of other people."

"It's not something that's easy to miss."

He laughs. "That is the nature of the conflict. Others do not matter, or figure into my assumptions."

"..." Elaine knows a lost cause when she sees one. "If it wasn't for this Mansion, Major..." The problem would have been solved, ages ago. Elaine gets up to leave. "If you ever get to hell... say hello to Duma for me."

"I would be back in my war." He frowns at the delay.

"Duma?"

She opens the door, but pauses at the threshold, looking at him. "This Mansion is the closest thing to a clean slate that you'll ever get. Aren't you tired of being hunted all the time? Tired of running all the time? Tired of having your research destroyed every step of the way? There's no need to make a point here, because there's nothing any of us can do to change this place..." She pauses after that, thinking about what her talk with Hotaru. "Certainly you can run experiments on us. But I'll be there every step of the way to make you stop. And I won't be the only one. You might never die here... but neither do we."

She doubts it will make a difference, but she won't let go without having her say. "You're more blind than I am."

"And then, what else would I do here? Sit like a soft little child and accept fate? I think not. Have fun watching your back, because, unlike you, I only have to win once."
