"Ugh..."

"Asura! Get up!"

"Ugh..maybe tomorrow mom...can't do it today..."

"You don't have a mom..."

"Let me have my dreams! Ugh..."

"Why are you so lethargic? All she did was touch you!"

"Your hero has been incapacitated."

"Please shut up, demon lady, I'm lamenting the loss of myself. Ugh..."

"Stop moaning, it's inappropriate. Get up!"

"He can't."

"What do you mean he can't?"

"Yeah, whaddaya mean I can't?"

"I touched you. Your strength has been lost. It has changed hands."

"Changed hands? Listen miss, I'm not in the mood for pranks, so give me my powers back."

"Why? You are the Usurper. The Murderer. The-"

"Pot calling the kettle black. Look at what you did. Taken over the flesh of a priest, albeit a dumb one. Slaughtered his congregation. And you've taken my powers."

"Not taken. You have merely switched."

"With who? No one can handle my power."

"ARGH!!!"

"Not no one. He can."

"Magrathea! Stop it! Switch it again. Do it or he will die."

"That's the idea, Asura. The fall of your little empire."

"I have no empire. I've always been alone."

"That is what makes you so dangerous. Both of you will die and Reality will be saved from collapse."

"You can't see it, can you? If I die, Reality will collapse. Have you even read the Annals? That name was a brilliant idea by the way. Who named that, you?"

"Banter won't change things."

"But murder will."

"Your timeline is flexible."

"Death sort of cuts the line. It's doesn't matter how flexible it is."

"You are annoying. I'll help cut this line. Shall we?"

"You're gonna regret it."
