Fortunately for Mar neither of them could hear his snide little comment, since Myitt had still been worming back into Tara's ear.  "Tell me who you are," Myitt demands.  "I really think I deserve to know."  She recoils when he pats her on the head.  His touch is repulsive for some reason.  "Tell me what it is that you've taken from me.  That much I know beyond any doubt."

"I think you know what it is, in truth," states Mar, fingering an empty drink glass on the bar. "Haven't you been feeling a little empty lately? Strange in the gut? Or at least as strange as you can when you're inside a person who isn't you. And how can I have taken something from you..." *Mar grins a bit..."...when we've never actually met? That's a bit of a conundrum, isn't it? How to hate someone you don't know who's taken something you don't recognize."

Mar shrugs. "I would say what I took has no bearing on your life, however. I didn't steal it, and you don't need it to function. I'm one of the only people who would have a use for it."

"Yes, we've never met," Myitt says, narrowing her eyes.  "But then, I apparently can't seem to remember everything that's ever happened to me.  And it's probably not just the alcohol."  She pauses, frowning.  "I don't know what you've done to me, if you really have done anything at all."  She tilts her head a little.  "Do you work for the Empire?  Really?  I don't think you do, but honestly, who else would want to make me forget about something that's happened to me?  I don't remember making enemies with..." She curls her lip again at his strange outfit.  "...France."

"Yeah, I'm new. more or less. Second time here. I keep on getting shot down. Bloody yeerk lasers."

Mar sighs. "I don't want you to forget about what happened because it would actually hurt your rebellion or anyone you know. It's actually better for both if you have no idea what's going on. Keep in mind that I don't exactly support your little venture, anyway. I am no servant of the Empire, and they do not know me personally. It would however benefit me greatly if their influence spread. I think you're honestly a bit mad for trying to attack them when they have such influence over your race."

*Mar rubs his head in frustration. Damn...this isn't working at all like I thought it would. I'm not thinking straight somehow. Caring too much. Why does it matter what she thinks of me so long as everything is in place?

"Rebellion? Excuse me, earth is over 90 percent free of yeerk control, united, and we have a navy. We are colonizing worlds, and pushing the yeerk empire back to whatever planet they came from."

Myitt actually laughs a little.  "Yes, I am crazy.  But I won't stop.  And if the spread of the Empire benefits you, then I know we aren't going to get along.  I also really, really don't like being in the dark about things that will harm my friends."  She purses her lips.  "I could always find out what's in your mind, but that's also really, really not like me.  I'd much rather you tell me of your own volition." 

She glances at Conner.  "Yeah?  So are we.  Haven't you heard of us?  Or are you from some other universe?  Hmm.  Probably."

Mar turns toward the young man and smirks. "Interesting. So you are from Earth, then? I thought so. I take it you are from the reality in which Earth has been able to recover from harder times, with the help of some young fighters as well."

He then glances back towards Myitt and states, "I truly believe that having this information will not benefit you or your friends in any way, and it gives no one an edge except me. Besides, at the moment I do not even have it in truth. Or at least, I cannot access it. At all. In fact..."

Mar laughs a bit dryly. "I'm not sure how much I know at all. My mind feels incredibly shaky."

"That's just it.  I don't like the fact that you have an edge against us.  I don't trust you."  Myitt draws her Dracon, gritting her teeth against the jabbing pain in her right arm as she digs in her jacket with her left.  She taps the metal weapon against the bar counter.  "I think I should find out what you can't tell me," she says thoughtfully.  "Unless you tell me.  You can tell me."  She pouts.  "Can't you?"

<You are so bad at acting.>

<You got any better ideas?>

Mar groans in irritation. "Why must you be so hopelessly persistent? Can't you just let it be and not get yourself killed? ......of course not. Since I think going into my head would be an even worse idea, I'll tell you. But what am I supposed to tell you, that I'm a demonic entity that has your soul? I'm not one at the moment, and you know perfectly well how absurd that sounds."

Mar rests his arms on the desk, looking tired.

Myitt squints at Mar, trying to figure out whether he's a crazy human, or...  

"My soul.  I never believed in such things."  She lowers her Dracon.  "But you're telling the truth, aren't you?  Whether you call it a soul, or...or whatever you want to call it.  Somehow I'm tethered to you.  To whatever you really are.  Somehow you simultaneously care about me...and want me to die.  That's right, isn't it?"

She glances at Conner.  "I think this guy's the devil."

Mar smacks his forehead. This is getting out of hand. I just wanted to drop off the tab, check around to be sure I'd missed nothing in this bar, and go. And now I am losing my mind quite fast and other people are involved.

"I am no one at the moment. Just another person wandering into the bar, and certainly no devil. Besides, a rebel wouldn't believe in that sort of thing. Are you satisfied?"

"Yes.  At least I know you're telling the truth," Myitt says warily.  "Souls.  Just superstition.  That's just your way of saying you've got me by the balls.  You said you didn't want the rebellion to succeed, and you're using your influence to do so."  She smiles dangerously.  "Or, you're trying to."

Mar chuckles. "Correct. I have no intention of allowing the rebellion to win out. A single planet rebelling will deal a body blow to the Empire, especially this Earth I've heard much about. However, a far more damaging blow would be one that is internal. The Yeerk Empire has remained stable because all Yeerks have shared the same views and culture for thousands of years."

Mar smiles, gesturing his hand into a fist. "If enough of the population decides there is more than one way....the Empire will begin to fall apart in a way far more deprecating to my goals."
