No, thankfully. He was stopped before he could complete the attempt.

Glad to hear it. It must've been pretty difficult dealing with memories like that.

[...]

Really difficult. I'm sorry you've had to deal with that.

[...You know, he doesn't usually get that sort of response? From Jaeger, yes, but usually it's just...morbid curiosity and more questions. Not that he minds that, and he doesn't ask for sympathy with regards to these things anyway, but...]

It's appreciated, but it's fine now. It wasn't when the memories first started, and it's taken me about a year and a half since the worst of it happened to be a bit more at peace with it. But it doesn't trouble me to talk about it anymore.

I'm glad it doesn't. And I'm glad you're at a point where you can talk about it, since it's pretty fascinating.

When you say you were "made" to be a god, how'd that work, exactly? Are we talking magic or something?

Medical experimentation. I was infected with viruses intended to enhance the host. Speed, strength, durability... All of that is far beyond normal human limitations now, as are my regenerative abilities and the fact that I can't die.

Sounds awful, sorry you had to deal with that in your past life.

[yikes...]

By now you've probably gained all that back, yeah? I guess that'd explain how you kicked one of those things and it died.

[He sounds so impressed, okay.]

I have all of it, yes. It was a year ago at the end of the January, so it's been a little while.

People tend to find it a bit alarming when I demonstrate certain facets of it.

The inability to die, I'd guess? What exactly happens there, anyway?

Do you want to see it?

I'll admit I'm curious, but it's kinda awful to say "yeah, I'd like to see what happens when something should kill you but doesn't".

[...that's not a "no"...]

Perhaps it is, but I was the one that asked in the first place.

Well, since you're insisting... Yeah, go for it, I'm interested.

[It's been over a year since he last done this; at least he's somewhat braced for the pain this time, because he isn't still in shock from getting hit by a goddamn bus and he is fully cognizant of the fact that head wounds hurt.

Either way, he just takes the handgun and presses the muzzle of it up against his temple; he takes a brief moment to breathe before pulling the trigger.

And yeah, it still hurts.

He stumbles a bit, but he manages to not drop. There's blood, but it's surprisingly little given the fact that he just shot himself in the goddamn head; it seems to have merely broken skin, and by the time he catches himself the actual injury isn't anywhere to be seen, having healed itself almost instantly. He shakes his head a bit as though to clear it; none the worse for wear, really.]

People used to shoot me in the head as a deterrent back then. It didn't always work.

[You know, he should have expected exactly this. He's not sure why he didn't expect exactly this. But boy is that a thing that just happened.

He starts forward at the gunshot, but Wesker doesn't drop and by the time Shigure looks for the injury, it's gone.]

...Holy shit.

[Unlike last time, it's in awe.]

You can just... Does that happen for all injuries? You just heal right up, like it never happened?

Yes, if it injures me at all. Hitting me with blunt objects tends to just break the object, it doesn't even break skin. I've been hit with steel bars before.

Holy shit.

[oh my god shigure, please come up with something else to say]

That's really damn impressive. Having abilities like that makes it damn near impossible to die, right? So what can kill you?

I'm still susceptible to fire, so I imagine enough of that wouldn't end well for me. Decapitation. Poison, perhaps? I haven't tested that out.

Probably best to avoid it anyway, just to be safe. Fire's probably the one you have to worry about most...

[And decapitation.... oh my god you almost sound like a zombie. Except you can headshot zombies, so you're definitely not one.]

But I'm sure you'll be just fine. You've got people to watch your back, yeah?

Of course I do. Though I can't say I'm not tempted to test the poison out anyway, simply so I know what my limits are.

[...wesker.]

...Seems like a bad idea, what if it actually kills you? It's not like you'll have to worry about poison normally. Probably. I mean for all I know, all of the monsters have the ability to poison you so maybe I'm completely wrong here.

[...]

I'm not planning on swallowing a fresh pitcher of cyanide and calling it a day, if that's what you're imagining.

That's pretty much exactly what I was imagining, yeah.

[at least he's honest...???]

I am fairly sure that would kill me, yes.

Definitely doesn't sound like it'd be worth trying, then!

Don't worry, I'll inject myself with potential deadly toxins responsibly.
