Clash of the Durandals, part 2
Aug. 2nd, 2019 07:52 amIs it "let's highlight how Inm!Durandal is the black sheep of his own instances" time again? I think it is.
Some topics off the top of me head:
* Conflict with Tycho: Inm!Durandal is basically of two minds about Tycho, in that he REALLY doesn't like him but is also wracked with guilt over how Tycho ended up this way. Over time, his desire to put Tycho in his place diminishes. I wonder how many of the other Durandals would be understanding, and how many would advise Durandal to just pull the trigger already.
* His crew: I'm sure at least one other Durandal would have some commentary on the fact that Inm!Durandal's crew includes a literal Greek oracle, an ex-Dangi scientist, two young AIs who are effectively his daughters, and a cavewoman.
* Inm!Durandal's fear reflex is to either grab onto Vince (if he's available) or freeze up. Probably not shared among all his instances.
* Try as he might, he has a hard time holding back tears. At least one counterpart's knee-jerk response would be "having a literal body rather than an ancillary is no excuse", I bet...
* Someone makes the mistake of suggesting that some of Durandal's more "desirable" traits ended up with Cortana in this 'verse.
* Bonus adult shenanigans: there may be words about how Vince can screw Inm!Durandal into submission with relative ease.
