Niles Subaki



Niles Subaki Ｃ:

Niles:
Well, well, well. If it isn't Mr. Perfect. How are you, Subaki?

Subaki:
(Damn. He saw me.) Oh, hi, Niles. I'm splendid as ever. And dare I ask how you're doing?

Niles:
Oh, terrific, terrific. Your face looks eminently punchable, as always.

Subaki:
Ahaha! I'd like to see you try it. Actually...go right ahead. I bet it won't even hurt.

Niles:
Oh? Let's take that a step further. How about a duel to the death, tonight at midnight?

Subaki:
*yawn* Nah, I need to get my sleep. Unlike you, I have things to do in the morning.

Niles:
Very well. I'll just continue tormenting you in hundreds of minor ways.

Subaki:
You sure do have a lot of free time, huh? Must be nice to be so useless. Don't say hi to me next time, OK?

Niles:
I certainly won't. I'll just silently stab you in the back.





Niles Subaki Ｂ:

Subaki:
... I know you're there, Niles.

Niles:
Gah!

Subaki:
Heh.

Niles:
So...you sensed your imminent demise...

Subaki:
You were going to literally stab me in the back, weren't you?

Niles:
Yes. But it's not like I didn't warn you. It wouldn't have been a lethal blow. I just wanted to see your face distorted with pain.

Subaki:
What's wrong with you?

Niles:
Nothing at all! What's wrong with you?

Subaki:
Really? Nothing? I thought you had some terrible childhood or something.

Niles:
Eh. Some things happened. But that's all in the past. I should be asking you the same question. Did mommy and daddy not pay enough attention to you? Is that why you're so desperate for constant approval?

Subaki:
I don't remember.

Niles:
Oh, please. Surely you remember something. Childhood trauma is pretty common.

Subaki:
I'm sure my childhood was perfect.

Niles:
See? That face you made right then. I just want to destroy it.

Subaki:
That's because you're evil.

Niles:
Evil? Hardly. I have my flaws, I admit. But at least I'm up front about them. Unlike you. All you care about is looking good. But what happens if you fail? Even once?

Subaki:
That would never happen.

Niles:
You see? You will fail at something, eventually. It's best to be prepared.

Subaki:
I suppose you're right. I...I do have a hard time letting go of the tiniest bit of control...

Niles:
Well! The mighty Mr. Perfect reveals a crack in the facade! Strangely, that just makes me hate you less.

Subaki:
So you'll stop trying to sneak up on me and kill me?

Niles:
Eh. We'll see.





Niles Subaki Ａ:

Subaki:
*sigh*

Niles:
Oh ho! Is Mr. Perfect having a less-than- perfect day?

Subaki:
Heh. You saw that? Tell me. Was I making a perfect sad face at least?

Niles:
My, you are twisted, aren't you? Tell me what's bothering you. Maybe I can help somehow.

Subaki:
Now this is unheard of! Niles, showing concern for another human?

Niles:
You got me. Sometimes I care.

Subaki:
You know, I think I'm a bit jealous of you.

Niles:
Really? How so?

Subaki:
Because you just do what you want, without caring what others think. I wish I could live like that. But I live with the weight of perfection on my shoulders.

Niles:
And you tire of carrying that weight.

Subaki:
*sigh* Yeah, I'm a bit tired at the moment.

Niles:
Here, why don't you give me some of your burden.

Subaki:
What are you talking about?! It's not just something I can hand you!

Niles:
Subaki, I'm not an idiot. Just pretend. Take a big chunk of your worries and place them in my hands. Right here.

Subaki:
I don't see how this could possibly help...

Niles:
But it can't hurt, can it? Give it a try.

Subaki:
Very well. Here you go. *whew* ... Wow... I actually feel lighter, somehow...

Niles:
You're welcome.

Subaki:
I just have one question. What are you going to do with my worries?

Niles:
Oh, don't worry about that. I'll put them to good use. Heh heh...
