So.... let's say I met with someone named Kouichi- and he's my twin... that I had no clue even existed.... and that he's been living with my mom, and I thought she died a long time ago but I guess not....

Well anyway what I'm trying to ask is.... how do you act like a sibling? I've always been an only child. I mean I've met people on the community that I feel close to like a sibling but-... I have no clue how to act like a real brother.

...Beats me. I've never had a sibling.

[ponytailprince]

You're an only child too? ...Or I shouldn't say that- since I'm not one anymore.

[giftedateight]

In the role I'm in in this virtual world, I have a 'sister', but she's just an NPC who hands out healing items every week and glitches when she's near me.

I always wanted one in real life. Somebody who'd always be there for me, you know?

[ponytailprince]

That's.... pretty weird.

Huh- so siblings need to be there for one another?

[selfished]

'How to act like a real brother'? There's nothing to learn about it, ya just gotta go with your gut feeling.

[ TOTALLY IGNORING THE REST!! PEOPLE ON THE COMMUNITY THAT WAS SIBLING-LIKE, WHAT, YOU NEVER SAID THAT, LA LA LA!! But what he said does sound weird, that's.. one strange family situation.. 8| ]

[ponytailprince]

I have no idea what my gut is even telling me. He was trying to kill me just a few hours ago.

[selfished]

... Trying to kill you? Your own brother was doing that? [ okay, even more screwed up family situation?! ]

Why?

[hawkblocker]

Just be yourself. Treat him like you would anyone else. Maybe you'll grow to think of him like that too.

[ponytailprince]

But... being myself isn't very.... [he's kind of a rude person sometimes...]

[hawkblocker]

If your brother can't accept you for who you are, that's his problem. Nobody needs to change for anyone else unless they happen to be complete dastards. And in those situations, they might as well die.

Tell him Mom doesn't need two of you, she's been just fine this long with just one of you, but now it's your turn so he has to die, pull out a knife, then laugh when he freaks out and tell him "just kidding, yer awesome, let's go for a shake!"

[REALLY GREED....]

What the heck kind of response is that? You give horrible advice.

[material_guy]

Listen, the kid might have some kinda hostilities against you for buttin' in on his life or for bein' gone all that time, right?

[brokethecamera]

I've never had any real siblings, so I'm not really sure.

But I really don't think you should have to change all that much. You look out for people already, and I think that's something that an older brother or sister would do.

[ponytailprince]

Well you're still like my sister Mai-san, but you know what I mean.

...I look out for them because they're idiotic and they need a babysitter. Having a real brother is a lot different.

[brokethecamera]

You shouldn't say that about your friends, you know.

Why don't you just start by getting to know him?

[shadow_spread]

Well, you should probably start by just getting to know him.

[ponytailprince]

Easier said than done.

I don't even know where to start.

[shadow_spread]

How about with asking him about his life up until now?

[fairyofwind]

I can't really think of anything...but I'm sure things will work out if you just get to know him, Kouji.

[ponytailprince]

.....It's hard Izumi, I know he was taken over by Cherubimon but-... he was still attacking me, like he had some sort of anger towards me.

[fairyofwind]

I didn't say it would be easy.

He probably was angry about a lot of things, which was what Cherubimon took advantage of. You're angry about it all too, aren't you?

[determines]

Is that a true story?

[ponytailprince]

[...]

Maybe. [huff.] ....Yeah it's true.

[determines]

Wow.

You're supposed to take care of each other.
