What is required to access the Castle Net?

[He thinks this is a perfectly sensible and legitimate question okay, shut up guys he doesn't use computers]

And the one who so chose to write at me when I first arrived, I will have you answer me again. However you opt to does not matter to me, only that you do.

Okay, I could talk about all the times we made out instead. [not ... that she can remember them but aklsdjas]

You asked why I thought you'd hang around, so I made a guess! If you want to know any more, then you should be a little nicer.

[azuredemonic]

Let's not and never humor the subject ever again!

[Oh dear, his flail is starting to show. And by flail I mean murder-want. So give him a second]

...Very well. [SO BEGRUDGING] Do I have you solely to thank for the radical changes in my personage the last time I was here? Given how close you claim we were, I cannot imagine why it would not be you.

[ino]

[smugly]That's what I thought.

[... a pause. she's never really entertained the thought, and it's clear she wasn't expecting that question] ... Just me? I doubt that. You had other friends first.

[azuredemonic]

[Grr. Wants to kick. Says nothing instead]

Other friends? Presumably other than Martel, correct?

[ino]

[ ... to be honest, she doesn't even really remember who Martel is, but ... LMAO]

Yeah. A lot of them are gone now, though; most people don't stay longer than a few months, let alone years.

[azuredemonic]

That is for the best. I do not need them interfering. [Still, what the hell. Why so many]

I assume yourself, Martel, and Jacob are the only ones remaining then?

[ino]

Interfering, huh ... [sigh]

No, Yuan will remember you too. [ ... and Allen, but she is quite sure he doesn't want to deal with Vergil aslkdjas]

[azuredemonic]

Yuan then. I do not know him, though I am sure I will eventually.

I'm sure you would prefer something nicer, but yes. Interfering.

[ino]

It's not about whether it's "nice" or not, it's just stupid. If you're doing something wrong or evil, of course people are going to stop you.

[azuredemonic]

Wrong, evil. How interesting that those are the first words you opted for. It says a great deal.

[ino]

About the last impression you left, you mean? Yeah, it does.

[a huff. trying to not sound too butthurt here ... but it's hard, because man, it sucks having someone you trusted turn on you, even if it wasn't exactly their fault]

But if you'd like to prove me wrong, then by all means, go for it.

[azuredemonic]

...I don't care to prove anything to anyone. All I know is that I have been granted the rarest of opportunities to deny a seemingly inevitable fate.

[ino]

Whatever. Just keep in mind that whatever you plan on doing, it had better not involve hurting anyone.

[azuredemonic]

The only promise I will make, is that I will not harm any that I do not need to.

[ino]

And what, exactly, would constitute "needing to"?

[azuredemonic]

Does it matter?

[ino]

Obviously, or I wouldn't have asked.

[azuredemonic]

So, if the reason is worthy enough, you'll do nothing?

[ino]

I'm not unfamiliar with how a warrior's life works. There are times when violence has to happen.

But I'm kind of doubting anything you have to say will actually be a good reason.

[azuredemonic]

...I will only strike down those that get in my way. So long as I do not need to fight, I will not. That is all I will commit to.

[ino]

[sob, you just get an ANNOYED SIGH, one that implies there is probably some eye rolling going on too. she guesses that's better than nothing, but ... still, she is so unsure about this, given what he was up to the last time he came back]

[azuredemonic]

[Hmm]

Unappeased, I see.

[ino]

What does it matter to you?

[azuredemonic]

So be it. It has been...enlightening.

[ino]

For you, maybe. Even though I answered everything you asked me, you just jumped around and made a bunch of vague promises.
