A Ninja's story

"You want to talk with the fake Violet? Fine" Violet said rudely and took the package of gauzes from Hel's hand. She pulled the knife out and right then she covered it with one or two gauzes. The lack of pain would surely bring the nice Violet back,but it will take a while. A while that the real Violet would use to talk with Hel. She sat on the chair and folded her arms,looking straight at Hel in the eyes and then let out a sigh.

"Okay. You win,I'm sorry. Enough?"

Hel smiled, "It's a start, but you need an attitude adjustment if you want to make this life you're trying at not spiral into a giant mess." She sighed, "Not that I'm really an expert on good living."

"Seriously though. How DID you do that super fast move?"

"Oh. You only have to train for 10 years running away from bears,wolves,cheetahs and then,and just then,you'll be able to run like me at half capacity." Violet giggled softly for the first time in her life. She noticed when the time for her nice side to appear came and then just waved her hand. "Have a nice day." She closed her eyes and all of a sudden,the cheerful and nice Violet appeared.

"Yo,Hel! Did you have the chance to talk with that Evil Violet?"

Hel waved back at "Evil" Violet, "You too." If only you were this nice ALL the time, she would think to herself.

Hel nodded at Nice Violet, trying to think of how to say this, "Yes I did. Although I wish you had warned me. She could've come back to finish the job, you know." She winked at Violet. "Anyway, I have some... well, it isn't so much bad news, but... if what she said is true... then this is probably going to be... one of those... life-changing things." She took a deep breath, "Are you ready?"

((It might save time to just handwave, "And Hel explained everything." If the telling matters, I can write it out how Hel would say it in the next post. Else, you can just handwave the explaining and have Nice Violet's reaction.))

((Alright,then! After Hel told the nice Violet what the real one said.... ))

Violet couldnt believe. Her jaw dropped and her eyes were wide open. As Hel said,it was some of these life.changing things. "Then I'm..I'm.....I'm part of HER soul? Am I just .......her tool to be alive....?" Violet broke up in tears and suddenly pulled out the ninjato,wanting to break it in pieces with her bare hands. Now the nice Violet was acting like a freak.

"ThEn If I bReAk ThIs SwOrD,sHe WiLl GeT oUt Of My BoDy??!!"

Hel quickly waved her hands, "No! Stop! If you break that, you BOTH die! At least... that's what the other you seemed convinced of."

She readied one hand on the cattle prod, ready to stop Violet by force if need be. Not-So-Nice Violet trusted her with this. She damn well wasn't going to cause Nice Violet to screw it up. "Settle down! Yes, this sucks. You're in a bad way, but you are two souls in one body. You have to work together or you'll both die! You two can do this. She's not so bad... a bit of an attitude problem... but no drastic shit, okay?!"

Hel's voice sounded inside of her face. "you BOTH die! y... ...TH die! ... .... die!" And then it started to fade. Violet dropped the ninjato and it fell to the floor. She was completely crushed. She had to share the body with a stranger,and she cant even do something about it! She was desperated....

And then she heard Hel giving her that advice....Maybe she was right....Maybe she should learn how to live with the Not-so-Nice Violet.

"Are you.....telling me the truth....? Can I live with that Violet?"

Hel bit her lip. This was tough advice to give, "Look, it isn't a question of CAN you... you HAVE to. You can't kick her out. She knows she has to deal with you. Hell, you hold the best hand in this. She only gets to come out if you are in pain. Go live a quiet life and you'll never see her again. She knows this. You bring her to the table... Well, I don't know HOW you two are going to talk, but if you CAN communicate with her, I'm sure you can reach some common ground."

"She's a bit of a bitch though, so, you know, come in strong enough to earn respect, but not so strong as to be threatening." Hel twisted her head from side to side, "The other you only goes apeshit if she is hearing a lot of noise. That's why she always goes stabbity stabbity in every match. The arena is so noisy! .... ... Wait... you kinda sounded like her when you were about to destroy the sword..." Hel clicked her tongue, coming upon a realization, she got excited again, waving her hands at Violet, "The way you felt then... when you were about to break it... It might be the same sort of trigger that makes HER crazy. Can you describe it at all?"

The nice Violet couldnt bear that Hel was comparing her with the 'Evil' one. She yelped at the blonde girl while waving her hands at her and jumping from the chair. "Hey! Dont compare me with HER!". She sat again on the chair and folded her arms. Hel's curiosity awakened hers.

"Umm.....Well.....I felt...desperate....and angry...and scared....all at the same time...."

Hel laughed, "Hey, she's not THAT bad. Like I said, she is COMPLETELY different when she is in the whole noise rage mode."

Hel nodded, "Maybe... that sort of intensity does it for you. The other you is sort of the expert on the whole ninja thing, maybe these sorts of outbursts are a byproduct of this whole ninja-soul-combining nonsense." Hel shook her head, "Now, remember, I'm not an expert on any of this. I'm just relaying what she said back to you. Don't blame me if something turns out to be wrong or a lie." She grimaced, "I... I don't have any real advice of my own to give on this. Your case is bigger than anything I've ever seen, and my expertise isn't any higher than 'drinking buddy' status. The best I can recommend is to be sure that you and the other you are friends. You can't afford to not be able to trust her."
