(OoO Michael POV:)
After the introductions, we all sit down at a table in the guild hall. Mario is still a bit skittish, but he calms down enough to talk to the others properly. "What are our counterparts like?" I ask, and Mario perks up, an interested look on his face. "The complete opposites of you?" Ritchie says, making everyone laugh. "Let's see. Our Mario is a Cavern Dragon Slayer, and he is a bit... standoffish? He doesn't take orders well, and he rushes into things without thinking sometimes, thus the nickname 'Rocks-For-Brains' and 'PebbleHead'." Ritchie continues, and Mario just looks at me disbelievingly. "As for Michael..." he trails off, and I perk up, interested. "He... he has been through a lot. He's tired most of the time because Nightmares keep him awake. He's nice, but he can be a bit grouchy sometimes. He's powerful, and he is the Leader of Grimshade." Ritchie says, and my eyes widen at this information. My other self must have a lot on his shoulders. "Oh, and I almost forgot! He is a Shadow God Slayer, hence why he is so powerful." Ritchie finishes, and My jaw just about hits the floor. "So he has killed a God?" I ask, and they shake their heads. "No, a god named Kasathar has taught him how to use the powers of darkness to be ABLE to kill a god or a very powerful wizard, should the need arise." They explain, and I calm down a bit. Just a bit. They then ask about their counterparts. "Well, to start, Ritchie is my best friend, and has been since we were 14. We met at camp Oasis, and have been friends for two years now. He's a Son of Hermes." I end, and Ritchie just looks at me, a half smile on his face. "Brandeen, who is Brandon's counterpart, on the other hand..." I trail off, and Brandon leans closer. "Is a newbie, and Son of Ares. He... oh my, how to put this... He's half demon, he's kinda evil, and he released the Titans back into the world, which is a very bad thing, mind you. He also looks VERY different, as does Ritchie for that matter." I say, and Brandon's eyebrows furrow in confusion. "Daveed, David's counterpart... well. There aren't many differences other than that he doesn't wear such revealing clothing, he's a Ginger, and that he is more stupid. He's a son of Momus." I snicker at that part. "On his first day, he insulted Kaykrae, the camp councilor, and then a few days later, he asked her out to the prom. Mind you, she is half snake from the waist down, and his exact words were 'Where is the rest of you'." I say, and David just looks mortified. "I know I'm dumb, but not THAT dumb! You never insult a woman!" David exclaims, and the rest of us laugh at him as he continues going on about how dumb his counterpart is.

(Author's Note: He may be dumb, but even he knows to not insult a Snake Lady.)
