What if I was a wolf and you were a fox and we were friends, and we lived together in an abandoned fort that we rebuilt with our own hands?

A little anon wanted to see Dread Queen, and got me thinking how Mylene's story will continue. And, well, it'll cement her in her villain role. What will it be? Who's to say?

[smileweakandwrong]

You should probably be scared or something

[jaypentaghast]

At least death means I'll never be scared about dying again. (x)

Odysseus was forced by Zeus to make an incredibly harsh decision- kill an infant who was prophesied to grow up as a vengeful murderer who would kill everyone Odysseus was trying to save- or let them all be killed by him one day.

He chose to take the one life, to save the lives of many. He killed the infant to save his loved ones.

Zeus does it again. Only this time, Odysseus has to choose between his crew, or his own life.

Odysseus takes the life of many, in order to save one. He kills his crew- no, his family, to save his life.

The ones he killed for ended up dying by his hand in the end, and now he is completely alone.

the fabled alternate, angstier version of what would happen if Fukuzawa's All Men Are Equal got rid of Chuuya's permanent singularity ability and turned it back to its pre-Arahabaki nature, enhancing others' abilities

welcome to Chuuya's identity crisis... 2!!

Skulduggery: We agreed we'd meet unarmed. Are you unarmed? Solomon Wreath: Yes. Are you unarmed? Skulduggery, pulling out a gun: No. I lied. Wreath, pulling out a gun: So did I. Skulduggery, pulling out a second gun: But I lied twice. Wreath: Oh, you're good...

Finally caved and did my perceived timeline of what happened to Chuuya, from being brought into the lab for project Arahabaki to being taken out of it.

I originally thought about mentioning it in my Chuuya's true original ability being to amplify others' abilities post, but it was way too long, and not as solid an argument to that specific topic.

Because this is about Chuuya being the original, not the clone, but more importantly the why and how that is the case.

Chuuya's humanity is the core question of SB, and the most important part is that in the end, Chuuya chose to accept himself despite it all, and that no matter what, he is himself and no one can take that away from him.

But once we have been given all the pieces of the puzzle, we can try connecting the dots and deduce the true story behind it all.

-

Project Arahabaki was built to create an ability weapon based on the recovered notes of Pan, a French researcher and Verlaine's creator. The technique uses the clone of a human with a "fake" psyche (persona model) who is fused with a singularity life-form. The clone's original should have an ability able to create a self-referencing singularity (to manifest gravity powers). Pan even had a special ability metal to brainwash that individual. Basically, this concept is supposed to create an overpowered flesh puppet.

So. Project Arahabaki. They needed an original with an ability that could produce a singularity on its own, which is super rare. Joy oh joy, there just so happen to be this boy, the son of a military doctor, who fits these needs! They just need his DNA/some cells to create a clone to use in their project. It's the middle of the war, ethics are disregarded, plus no "real child" should be harmed in the making of this weapon. No biggie, right? Lend us your son for the sake of the country!

Except we know that boy, officially at least, died during the war.

According to N's timeline, there once was this certain boy who managed to create a singularity with his ability while under the supervision of scientists, but got swallowed by the black hole it created, never to return.

He also had Chuuya's supposed "original" stuck in a tube full of mystery liquid, the same kind Chuuya once was in, but that one's flesh and organs melted when exposed to air (normal behaviour), changing it into a skeleton that can be ordered around like an overpowered puppet (literally on strings. The tubes in its back controlled it and kept it going, but would severely limit its range)

Back to our Chuuya:

All N does is lie, so we can't take his word as the simple truth. Chuuya was a miracle they never managed to reproduce. Why is that?

In Rimbaud's notes, he says how in their operation to retrieve the new ability weapon Japan was developing (based on Verlaine), they managed to identify the artificial being, aka the clone, A2-5-8. In the flashback, Rimbaud is absolutely positive it is him, so we have to assume this information was recorded as-is somewhere.

And yet, Dazai is the one to suggest later that, perhaps, the original and the clone had been swapped.

And wouldn't that make everything else make sense?

The clone(s) never managed to hold up to the quality standard necessary to be useful outside of their confines. The skeleton approach was the lab trying something different, like N admitted so to Verlaine. There ever only was one successful attempt, a "miracle", Chuuya. The original child is thought to be dead, yet N the liar supposedly had him in a tube, ready to turn him into a skeleton(???). Rimbaud and Verlaine thought for sure they had the artificial life-form, the clone, but they got Chuuya, who has a graphite scar from before he lost his memories, with a past that was able to be dug up by the Flags and Port Mafia.

My conclusion is this: N swapped out a clone for the original child. His research wasn't giving the proper results, but he had found a workaround, where he could use the original instead of his clone, for better/faster results.

Chuuya is the only one who could harness "Arahabaki" in any way that would remotely resemble "Guivre". Chuuya is the only one who could operate autonomously. That's why N wanted to remove "Arahabaki" and try to factory-reset Chuuya before putting it back in: because there really is only one of him, and he couldn't afford losing him if he wanted to continue his research.

Inspired by the Requiem Ball attire Skulduggery and Valkyrie are described wearing.

I completely ruined this trying to colour it. Hopefully I can replace it with a digital version asap because I love when Valkyrie gets to dress up and I want to bring the ideas to life properly.

Skulduggery Pleasant Book 6: Death Bringer

The dress was long and slinky, strapless, silk and chiffon. Her shoes were gorgeous.

She stepped into the living room and Skulduggery, wearing the sharpest tuxedo she had ever seen, complete with black gloves and a white scarf, tilted his head to her.

“You’re late,” he said.

“I’m beautiful.”

“You’re always beautiful.”

“I’m always late, too.”
