"Where should I start, or more, where shouldn't I? Auto, do you know what number host you are for me? I just ask because I know you've become acquainted with number 1, what was his name again… So, something SOMA, that's what it was."
I'm not, he hasn't really talked much about himself, he more or less just gives me advice, like coming here to talk to you.
"Ahh, that sounds like him, he never really was one to get personal with me, he kept to himself, but people change over time, he's had what millennia to change. You, Aoto, if I'm correct, are the fourteenth person to host me, and if you keep this between us, you're my favorite."
Sounds expressions, while hard to tell, were still noticeable, letting Aoto tell on whether or not he was joking, and seemingly from the whole conversation, he took it as one big joke, which angered Aoto.
Hey devil.
"Yesss, is there something you'd like to say?"
Why are you such an ass, I mean it seems like you get high off of your own fumes, how much more self centered can one person get, and why are you acting like my friend you literally used my body to go on a murderous rampage we are not friends.
The sound of his expression changed from playful to a more serious tone, looking as though he had been disrespected, like right before a teacher reprimands his students.
"Who do you think you are? Genuinely? I cured you of the deafness as well as gave you a second chance at life, but if you think that you can go ahead and disrespect me like that, then maybe I was wrong about you *click*"
What? What's this Sound!?
Aoto had been teleported at the sound of his snap and ended up tied back down in the hospital bed where it all began.
"Tell me, would you rather I leave you here? Would you rather have died in this desolate place?"
Aoto stayed silent, not saying a word.
"That's what I thought, Aoto, at the end of the day, I'm in control, I can put you back in this bed, I can take your hearing, I can go on rampages whenever and wherever I want, you won't do anything about it. Take a good look around, Aoto, who seems to be in charge here?"
From what could be seen, it looked like Aoto had given up or gone back on everything he said, proving that he didn't have any backbone to fall on, but this time was different.
You know you make an excellent argument, their sound, and it's true what they say that I'm nothing more than a coward, but this coward has one thing up his sleeve.
"Really, and what might that be?"
Beside the bed was a nightstand with a sharp object on it standing up, within an instant, Aoto immediately drove his ear directly into the object, rupturing his eardrum on his right side.
"HUH, well, isn't that something ha ha Ha AHAHAHAH clever boy very clever, purposefully making yourself deaf on the right side, in here within your own mind, wow, you really are something else alright, so be it, you've entertained me yet again. What is it you want? Make it quick; I plan on tormenting Chema with my presence later."
Aoto, in undesirable amounts of pain, having tears shed off his face, could still hear sound from his left, while muffled, he knew he won, by threatening his ability to listen, he removes the sound of all his power.
I want you to go back to the surface, I want you to take control of me again."
Sound's vibrating body twitched, hearing this as if he couldn't contain his excitement.
But not like last time, NO KILLING ANY HUMANS, under any circumstances, especially Garius. I know that Thadius might be a challenge for you, so I expect you not to try, but I'm referring to the bystanders within the guild.
"And why exactly should I do this? What's in it for me? I mean, I will take control of your body fully eventually, but that will come when you finally break, and it seems like me doing this would be helping you?"
At the moment there's a giant f*ck clock monster or whatever that thing is in the guild that it seems like only we can see. There's an outstanding possibility that if nothing happens, I die, and that means you lose a host this early on, and I doubt you want that. I also bet you'd love to fight that thing, knowing how much of a battle freak you are. How does that sound?
"Fine, I'll do it, but I want one thing added on, let me take control every so often, just to let me stretch my legs, it gets so boring in here, you wouldn't believe it."
Just do your job.
Sound smiled and snapped his fingers again *snap*, sending Aoto back to the library alongside Soma.
Argh, I hate that teleporting, flowing, and fast travel make me sick. Am I in the library?
CHEMA, YOU THERE?
"Aoto, has anyone ever told you, you have a very punchable face?"
Soma! What happened?
"Not much. I told Thadius we'd handle it, but he didn't seem to care. That man is a freak indeed, and not too long after that, the sound pulled me back. I can't tell you how much anger flowed through my body as I watched him swap. I hate that devil, but it seems he will follow your orders. What did you ever say?"
Not much. I just told him about the situation, and he agreed.
Aoto didn't tell Soma any of the threats or actions the two made, feeling it was best to keep that between themselves.
"Hey, why's your ear bleeding? Are you well?"
LD flowed out of Aoto's right ear, being ruptured, the liquid flowed out, falling on the floor, staining the wood floors.
I'm okay, don't worry, just a little accident.
"I would really appreciate it if you didn't stain my floors, there are already too many people here. I hate it; it was much nicer when it was just me and the books. You people are slobs."
Chema! Good to see you again.
"I could say the same, Aoto, make yourself at home with your friend, please don't ruin this sacred place even more.
-Sound's perspective-
Finally, we are back in control. Let's see what exactly we're dealing with.
"UGHH AHH *slice* RAGGH"
I see Thadius hasn't changed at all. It'sn't that nice, and it's not where that devil is.
"ERCKKK TICK, TOCK ERCKK"
Your absolute monstrosity time is that… wait, no, it's just the depiction of you, no wonder, while it looks better than you do, I was about to say, well, anywho, let's take care of it, shall we?
Aoto's body began to self-produce LD, spreading throughout his body until it was covered entirely, making his own armor for sound.
