Have you learned to control them yet or is the City still in a fit over animals being themselves? Troublesome...then again, aren't all animals, even those who think themselves so superior?

When one is treated like the creature it is, one is easier to tame.

Weird bug wom...[nir tone goes flat and ne sighs] You've met Asmodeus.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah! When I went down to Hell to get Kurai back. He was a creep, but he helped me, in the end.

[indecent_butterfly]

[More news to nem.]

He helped you. Was this One involved some how?

[beyourarmy]

Well, yeah. You were the one that took her there in the first place. You tricked her, and we went to go get her back.

[indecent_butterfly]

Your motive, not his. Not a surprise though.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah, but when I said we I meant Arachne and Noise. We went down there to get Kurai back.

[indecent_butterfly]

Still he helped for his own purposes. And isn't that a familiar name.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. I never doubted that. I could just never figure out what those were. Besides, he helped. That's all that mattered, at the time.

[indecent_butterfly]

Poor representations of what he really wants. A particular butterfly.

[beyourarmy]

So, there's a specific butterfly woman he's after?

[indecent_butterfly]

In a manner of speaking.

You've seen the butterfly he's after.

[beyourarmy]

[Not getting it. He doesn't mean to be this obtuse, really, but a butterfly tattoo on Hatter's leg? Not in his memory banks.]

Uh, I have? But the butterfly he was with he killed. I haven't seen any others.

[indecent_butterfly]

A metaphorical butterfly, one he'll never catch since it chases another.

[It's okay, it's kind of cute actually how much he misses.]

Oneself.

[beyourarmy]

Oh.

I think I get it, when you put it that way.

You are kinda like a butterfly.

[indecent_butterfly]

You think so? It is an appropriate symbol for Oneself in many ways.

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. Hard to hold onto and free. It works.
