You get homesick missing a certain not-a-superhero-Robin once, dress up in a black cape and mask and suddenly you get known as a ninja goose. I swear, it's enough to make a pirate quit the crime-fighting business entirely and go back into blackmail and murder.

Also, does anyone have good ideas for a first year anniversary when a trip is out of the question? Seriously.

And I'm now available all weekdays for tutoring sessions. I specialize in math, physics, economics, literature, and geography, but I can help with everything except for Defensive Driving. Just don't even ask on that one.

Like hell he is!

I don't know everything about him, but I know enough to know he's a coward who'd rather put his friends at risk and fight against them himself than say "hey, Mom, your decision kinda sucks, how about we fight instead of surrender." And then proceed to mope about it like the whole thing couldn't have been avoided in the first place! Sometimes you have to stand up to people you respect, but nope, not according to this guy!

Oh, and if I knew my best friend's long lost and thought dead sister was alive and needed rescuing, I'd damn well say so, and not keep it to myself for years!

[YEAH. So. Espio did manage to get some of his memories... but only things that were actively brought to mind, or discussed. Which is mostly just recent events for Archie-Ninja.]

Did you think I just don't like him because he's got a different skillset to me?

[fierybluebird]

I don't even know what you're talking about actually.

[espio]

[Siiigh. Even though. Y'know. Marco is on the other side of a screen and can't hear it.]

I don't know everything. The only memories I got of his are what happened here, things he talked about, and things he thought about specifically while he was here. But I do know that he turned on Chaotix because his Mom told him to, because his ninja clan or whatever surrendered to... someone, I didn't get a clear idea of who.

And, instead of actually doing something proactive about it, or even telling Chaotix what the hell was going on? He just moped about it. I don't think he'd have even gone back if his Mom hadn't said he could.

I dunno, it pisses me off. Even people you respect can make huge mistakes sometimes, and if someone gave me orders to fight my friends on behalf of an enemy? No. Way.

[fierybluebird]

Okay, I think I can understand that well enough.

I don't think you have anything to prove though, Espio.

[espio]

I don't like the suggestion that he's somehow better than me just because he can be sneakier and knows how to hurl pointy objects.

[fierybluebird]

He's not.

You're a pirate. Pirates always better than ninjas, I promise.

[espio]

[Facepalm. You make him feel like a criminal, Marco ;;]

I make a terrible pirate, though.

[fierybluebird]

[Good. >:)]

You mean a wonderful one.

[espio]

Nope. Definitely terrible.

[fierybluebird]

You're only saying that so you don't have to think about the metaphysical existential moral consequences.

[espio]

I just don't think life as a criminal is for me.

[fierybluebird]

Life as a pirate is for anyone who like freedom.
