While they were going towards Kris" room Linri filled TBB or rather Drake in about their current situation. He still seemed to be having trouble believing any of this was real. I mean who wouldn"t? You fall asleep and wake up to find you are in a different body let alone a different world."Okay, so let me get this straight. You broke into a government facility to broke Gendor out and then fought against a giant abomination with a gatling gun for an arm... You sure you weren"t hallucinating?" said Drake. As a response, Linri just hit him in the back of his head. He might seem violent but he just had the urge to hit him constantly. Normally he would blame the OG Linri but this bit wasn"t even the club so it was definitely his own feelings. I guess TBB was just that annoying.
"Be more serious! I mean I am not the one for bragging but I could have died you know?" said Linri. It was definitely bulls.h.i.+t. We all know how much he loves bragging. Drake only shrugged not taking him seriously at all.
"If you ask me, you were acting stupidly. You didn"t have to get involved, like at all. Gendor was going to eventually break out of that place anyway"
"Yeah, but what if he couldn"t? What if he unconsciously used his ability and the scientists found out that their experiment was a success and dissected him? What if he talked about the fact that we were from another world? What if the government decided to hunt us down for our knowledge of the future?"
"Those are all what-ifs. First of all, why would they hunt us? They already had Gendor and thanks to his secondary they should have learnt almost everything about the future. Also, Gendor didn"t even know there were others. You acted stupidly, just admit it. You wanted to play the hero" Linri hit him in the back of the head again. This kid really knew how to get on his nerves. Especially using the word "hero". He hated that word! I mean it was fine in the books but he never wanted to be called that in real life!
"That"s enough about my part of the story. Now tell me, how can we make you the main persona of this body?" Drake thought for a minute.
"You can"t" Linri almost tripped and fell.
"What do you mean we can"t?"
"Exactly as it sounds. You can"t make me the main persona of this body because there isn"t one" Linri had visible question marks on his face. What was TBB talking about?
"How can someone not have a main personality? I mean I am not a psychologist but shouldn"t there be a main persona?"
"There should be however if what you say is right, he is already in the other world"
"Then? Shouldn"t you be taking his place?"
"That might have been the truth. If Drake"s personality disorder was a natural one that is. Heck, it might have even cured him! But the problem is rather than a disorder his condition is more like brainwas.h.i.+ng. Actually, scratch that it was definitely brainwas.h.i.+ng. All the other personas are just side effects. Then again I haven"t really written any of this down so it might be because something else entirely. The only thing I mentioned in the club was that he had multiple personalities and the r-word triggers a change."
"Oh yeah, why that word anyway?" Drake gave him a smirk as if he was expecting him to ask that exact question.
"You know about the church of the sun right? The one that replaces Christianity in this reality. When m.u.f.fin made his narcissistic paladin I thought "hey, why not make Drake their sleeper agent? They will implant a keyword to brainwash him. Then something will go wrong and he will have infinite personalities". At least that was what I had planned. I had even written a personal event where the church was going to attack Autumnfall and take control of Drake and we would have to fight him as a boss. It would be fun wouldn"t it?" TBB went on a tangent about how great his event was and so on. Linri had to hit him again just to shut him up. Huh, this feeling was growing on him. It was really fun to hit Drake. His head was in such a shape that it felt natural to hit it.
"Okay, okay. We get it. You are the greatest. So what you are saying is we need to find a way to get the brainwas.h.i.+ng undone and you would take control of the body right?"
"That"s only if that is the reason why Drake had multiple personalities. That was all in my head remember? We don"t even know if that counts!" That was certainly a good argument on Drake"s part and something Linri wanted to find out before. Actually, he could use this chance to confirm it.
"It"s better than not trying anything at all. You know what? I had actually thought I had it the worst among all the transmigrators. It"s nice to know that you are in an even worse situation than me" Linri gloated. TBB wanted to hit him on the head but Linri dodged thanks to his agility and hit him instead.
"That"s not fair!"
"Life never is... Oh, would you look at that we have arrived" Linri said as he opened the door to Kris" room.
Everyone was already sitting inside including Jaime. They were all having a chat and actually laughing? He had thought they would be tenser and possibly awkward around each other.
"What was the problem?" Kris asked when he noticed Linri and Drake walking into the room together. As he asked his question he gestured towards Drake.
"Same old problem. Turns out he became one of the personalities instead of becoming the owner of the body. So we have to hurry this along before he switches back" said Linri as he walked up to them and sit on the ground.
"So?" Jaime asked as she looked at him. She still had those cold flames burning inside her eyes. He felt extremely uncomfortable. He did not commit murder or anything of the sorts, so why was she so angry with him in the first place? Maybe what they said about men coming from Mars and women coming from Venus was true.
"So? Well, let"s start by introducing who we were before coming here and who we are now. To make it easier for you guys I will start. Please don"t hide anything as it would only complicate things in the future if we were to find out that you lied. Anyway, I was Maxwell Walker a proud British. I was a recent college graduate with a major in English Literature and 22 years old. Nothing important about my family. A housewife mother and a policeman father. As for who I am now it"s Linri Harclaw whom you all love to hate! My father is Arkady a werewolf and my mother is Lyra a Kitsune. That makes me a mixed-blood so I am going to die like three... no, I guess it"s two months from now... wait if I take into account all the times I used my powers I have one and a half month at most. Yeah, that sounds about right. Also, me and my family are being hunted by both of their clans so there is that. Extremely edgy I know no need to judge me, okay?" Aside from Jaime who already knew about his condition everyone looked at him dumbfoundedly. It was the first time they had seen someone being so casual about their death.
"Wait, what? Why didn"t you tell me about this before!?" Kris asked in a panic. Linri was his saviour so he wanted to repay the debt if he could.
"Relax will ya? Have you seen Linri die in the club? No? So I, of course, have a solution. It was in my time-skip post though I doubt you read it" Linri said sarcastically while Kris heaved a sigh of relief.
"So who is next?" Linri asked and the people in the room looked at each other. Eventually, TBB decided to speak up. He was not sure how much time he had anyway so it was better to get this out of the way.
"I guess it"s my turn? Anyway hi, it"s me! Your favourite troll TheBingoBandit or TBB for short. My name "was" Ai Berzina. You probably haven"t heard of it but I am from a small country in Europe known as Latvia. Aside from that, I was 20 years old and getting ready to enlist when all this s.h.i.+t happened. My father was a farmer and so is my mother, I suppose. Now as for the "me" now, my name is Drake Pukis. He is also from Latvia and a descendant of dragons. A destruction dragon to be exact, hence my ability [Explosion]. Aside from that I also suffer from multiple personality disorder or whatever it"s called so when you see me don"t talk to me. Because it probably won"t be me. Though if you ignore me I will probably kick you in the a.s.s, so your choice" Linri hit him in the back of the head... again.
"That"s abuse! Stop hitting me!" said Drake while in tears.
"No, I wanted to check if it was another personality. Honestly for someone who can"t even control his own body you actually fare pretty well. I thought you would be in tears by now" said Linri.
"Why? I honestly couldn"t care less" Linri looked at him again but Drake was dead serious. He really didn"t mind his own situation. That was weird. He wanted to ask him why but the situation was not appropriate so he needed to do it some other time.
