This is Evangeline! Sorry, I'm a little busy right now, but leave a message and I'll get back to you as soon as I can!

I hope you aren't expecting me to disagree with that statement. Anyone you feel is worth punching probably deserves it, regardless.

[abnormalizes]

I was kind of joking, but... alright, I'll consider it?

[splittingheadache]

As I feel you rightly should! You are a good judge of character, Ol Siaion.
Obviously, considering you decked me the instant I gave you the option.

[abnormalizes]

That has nothing to do with your character and everything to do with me being mad at you, though.

[splittingheadache]

You judged me to be worthy of a swift fist to the bridge of my nose. You broke it, in fact - I had to set it nigh immediately, lest it healed crooked.
That says everything about my character.

[abnormalizes]

Consider: if someone was mean to you, I would also break their nose.

[splittingheadache]

And that is a good judge of their character as well.

Someone worth being punched is someone worth being punched, Evangeline.

[abnormalizes]

I'm really not sure, but I guess I'll take data on the people I do and don't punch and report back.

[splittingheadache]

Please do! I'm sure you will find common ground amongst them all.
You don't seem the type to punch indescriminately.

[abnormalizes]

I try not to! I'm not an angry person, I don't think.

[splittingheadache]

You most certainly aren't, no! If you were, you would have taken my offer to hit me again.
Hence why I think you punching someone is such an important judgement of their character.

You wouldn't do it without good reason, and such good reasons reflect well on who that person is.

[abnormalizes]

...I'm sure I could think of someone I punched for a bad reason. If you gave me a minute.

[splittingheadache]

...

[Reaching into his bag, then, to fish out his phone --
He sets up a stopwatch for sixty seconds, puts it to the side right where she can see it, turns it on, and leans back again. Lacing his fingers together in his lap and everything.]

[abnormalizes]

I set a guy on fire because he called me a coward and then wouldn't fight me??

[splittingheadache]

That isn't a punch. Not only that, but he sounds like he deserved it.
I would do the same.

[...]

Well - not fire, as I have no access to that. But certainly I'd pump someone like that full of bullets without question.

[abnormalizes]

He was absolutely an asshole, but setting him on fire might have been a little too much.

...It did feel great in the moment, though

[splittingheadache]

Mmm... I don't know. I feel fire is just enough. If someone wishes to speak ill of you, but refuses to take responsibility for his words, then you're well within your right to enact that responsibility upon him however you see fit.

And if he won't fight you, what other option had you but fire? As a Summer, that should be expected, really.

[abnormalizes]

He was also new, so he hadn't learned to expect people to be capable of doing that yet...

...Eh. Fuck him.

[splittingheadache]

There you go. Fuck him, indeed. New or not, he should expect retaliation if he refuses to take responsibility for his own actions.
You just so happened to be someone who wields fire, that's all.

If it were me, he'd have bullets and nightmares to face. If it were Chipp, he'd be faced with lightning and blades.

The method doesn't matter. What matters is if it was deserved.

[abnormalizes]

Fucking asshole who thought he could tell me how to deal with my own world. I'm glad he's gone.

-The worst part is he was an alternate universe version of Shadow, who's one of my best friends here. What the hell happened to this one to make him such a dick.

[splittingheadache]

I'm glad he's gone as well, and I hadn't even met him. As for the hows and whys -
That's the beauty and curse of the multiversal theory. Anything could have happened to make you a wholly different person to who you are now...

... Mostly. You'd likely still be an Indigo core, after all.

[abnormalizes]

I probably wouldn't have the red shadow without the trauma and fear of loss, I figure.

[splittingheadache]

Indeed you wouldn't. It's the ego and the shadow that would make you differ from your multiversal counterparts -
And even then, should another you exist with the same exact colors of the soul, it could easily express differently in her as compared to you.

For example, how you and I have the same color of shadow, yet it's clear we differ greatly in the reason why.

To be honest, this is something I've thought about quite a bit. How different versions of myself may differ, just by having a simple color change within the soul...

[abnormalizes]

-I'd like to meet another Louis sometime. Although I guess it'd be pretty hard explaining our relationship to him...

[splittingheadache]

Mmm... I'd wonder if another Louis would be as pleasant as I am. Likely, if they're going by Louis, they came from the same background as myself -
Thus, they began life as Andy... and died at the hands of Jean.

[...]

You wouldn't want to meet another version of myself that's simply Andy, however. I can almost guarantee that each and everyone would be miserable company.
