Thank you very much for the rescue. Everyone, I'm all right now, and the rest of the affected people are going to be fine. I know, because I'm going to help save them. (I won't budge on this, so don't try to dissuade me.)

As for what I said and did... well, call me old-fashioned, but I still prefer regular therapy to the supernatural kind. So if you want to ask, I'll do my best to answer. ...That person is me, technically, but more than a little seems to have been lost in translation.

[Failed private, easily hackable]
I looked like a tramp. Forget looking like one, I acted like one! And I - with - if I didn't have people to rescue I'd spend the rest of the day in purifying myself! No, I'd spend the entire week doing it, just to be certain I was rid of the unclean influences!

Am I supposed to return Nakamori's undergarments to her now...? I don't have any use for them myself. But I've never been in such a situation before! I don't know how to deal with this!

((Okay! I don't know how other people are handling this, but I'm going to say that all posts made on the 15th (including Haruto's last one) are before Issei's rescue, and all posts made after that are after the rescue. It's easier for me to keep track of, and I'd be remiss in not letting his boyfriend have a good panic post. Also, holy crap guys, did you see how many comments were on there? I love all of you for making Shadow!Issei so fun to play~))

At least I'm paying attention.

It depends what you mean, and who you ask. I don't envy superheroes, but it would be nice to be a regular one.

Yes you are~

Of course you shouldn't, because all superheroes are evil deep down. They enjoy the fights~

[Returns to the smile he had when he wasn't a shadow.]

You were one then. Being nice to people makes you a hero.

I was going to say that they were chasing an ideal that will only get them hurt in the end, but... that works too?

It isn't quite the same.

...Yes...That is true. Everlasting peace is such a foolish ideal...Why would he ask One to achieve that. They eat at the mind.

But in the end it's the same.

Oh but it is~ Because you, Kaaaaaaaaaiiiiiiiiiiitoooooooo, Naaaaaaaaaaaaooooooootooooooooooooo and a few others here are One's heroes. You all are so nice to people. It's nice to see.

It makes me worry about them.

I'd thank you if I didn't think that would encourage you to put down yourself.

[A few minutes of silence]

...You guys make One feel like One did in the past...One is very thankful for that.

That's a good thing? Then, glad to be of service. ...Are you all right?

You make One feel like Rock again basically. Even though Rock died long ago. So it's a good thing.

...One is fine for now. Worry about the other shadows for now, One will do what One can to help.

One is still Mega Man underneath everything.

You can't just tell me not to worry about you! That never works!

Yes but there are worse shadows out there then One.

I don't know that many of them.

Haaaaaaaakuuuuuuuubaaaaaaaaa. Kaaaaaaaaiiiiiitoooo. Suuuuuuugruuuuuuuu. The Doooooooctooooooor. Will probally do worse things then One can do.

Oh, Kuroba's not an issue. I've almost-publicly admitted to having his girlfriend's underwear, he's going to come and try to kill me within the hour.

[Smirk] You just need to make a bet with him.

He technically owns me. I'm not sure what else I could bet, and what he'd want to bet on.

Oh you bet that already?

Hehehe, Foolish

He suggested it, and you know how my Shadow was.

[Smiles] Which is why One is calling you a fool, idiot.

You could always bet your future. One is sure he'll take the bait.

Hm, so you are. I'm used to that.

That isn't mine to give to him.

Of course it is.

No, it isn't. My future belongs to the temple. And I doubt he can make a wager with a temple.

Does it? Did you choose to give it to the temple? Or was that forced upon you and you just bent over and took it?

I could have asked my older brother to inherit, if I really wanted to. No, I'm happy being the heir, but as I've already decided upon it, I can't take my future back.
