{Really? Nevermind, then. Thank you very much for clarifying that. XD}
Ophelia fell into the trance not long afterwards, finding herself in the more mellow portion of the throneroom at first. She felt more than a little disoriented, not used to being subject to such a strange yet powerful magical spell. (Who could be surprised by that? She's human, after all.) Once she was able to catch her footing she looked about, trying to get a better understanding of where she and Kaistern where. She was surprised to find that it was like two completely different throne rooms merged into one. Was this what the inside of one's mind looked like? In all honesty, she would never have guessed. Still, now was not the time for such trivial thoughts. She glanced over to the Kaistern sitting on the elegant and more mellow throne, guessing that this would be the innocent one if typical looks were anything to go by. She wondered if it would be best to approach or to keep her distance from both, lest she get caught in the fray.

((Yeah, you can probably tell that's Rose's bumpit-esque hair there. XD I don't terribly like it, but I didn't feel like trying to work from scratch. XP ))
Both Kaisterns were slumped over in their respective thrones, but they soon started to raise their heads as they awoke. The dark Kaistern was the one to strike first, barely letting the light half a chance to get his bearings before leaping out of his throne with a claw aimed at his head.
The light half quickly pulled back, tumbling over the side of the throne to get out of the way as the dark half sailed overhead. Grabbing his dark half's leg before the opportunity passed, he flung his dark side into one of the columns lining the room. It seemed both were done sharing a body and they were going all out to put an end to the other.

{Yeah, making them from scratch is hard as hell. I've been trying to make one from scratch for awhile now, but I've neer been too satisfied with the results. I curse my apparent inability to properly draw any sort of chibi.}
Ophelia's eyes widened considerably as she watched the action unfold. It seemed that staying out of the ******** way was a good decision on her part. She felt perhaps a little useless just standing there in the distance, like she really didn't belong there, but she failed to account for how powerful something like moral support could truly be. (Then again, unless she somehow got hurt or killed by this, she doubted that the pyschological benefit of her presence would be all that great.)

((And that's why I handed out the template. XD Hell, with the right pics for source material, you can probably get a good chunk done in photoshop.))
As the brawl continued all over the room, it probably wouldn't take Ophelia long before she lost track of which Kaistern was which, being physically identical entities. And as blood started to be shed, Kaistern's physical body in the real world was also starting to be wounded. Springing off the ceiling, one of the two pounced upon the other and sent them both crashing to the ground near Ophelia. The one pinned against the ground struggled to keep his twin's claws away from his face and then glanced over at the moral support. "Ophelia! Get him off; it's me!" "He's lying, he's just going to kill you and me both if he gets the chance!" "That's not true and you know it! I love you Ophelia; I know you'll be able to tell the difference!"
((I hope you saw this cliche coming. >XD ))

{I'll hopefully find something eventually. I do, however, have to draw the hair myself as I don't just want to copypasta John's/Jane's.
I've admittably been using the template quite a bit. I just have piss poor editing skills.
Perhaps. I find this thoroughly entertaining regardless. XD}
Oh s**t. It seemed that she would be lending a more active hand in this after all. But...which one was which? After a short while she took a deep breath and asked them both, "One of you knocked the other out after one tried to kill me, as I recall. How did I suggest you resolve this dispute over your body?" If the angry Kaistern had truly been knocked out then only the kind Kaistern would know the answer to this. Or at least, that was what she hoped.

"You tried to get us to reason with each other!" both Kaisterns said in unison before locking eyes once more. "Not that that would ever happen..." the attacking Kaistern snarled as he pushed against the victim Kaistern's claws.

Ophelia huffed out a heavy sigh. Why was she not surprised? Still, the attacking Kaistern's over aggressiveness seemed a little suspicious. Then again, they both wanted each other dead. Oh, and the angry Kaistern tried to kill her once too. "Why do you both want the other dead?"

"Because I'm sick of sharing a body like this! He's crazy and he's a killer!" "He's lying! He's the violent one that I want to get rid of! I'm trying to change things for the better and he just wants to kill!" "This is pointless, there is no 'real Kaistern'; we're both part of the same mind! Just pick one already!"
((Yeah, I'm purposefully trying to make this as difficult and confusing as possible. Is it working? :3 ))

{Yes, it's working. XD}
"I know that!" Ophelia tensed up, looking even more conflicted than before. She knew that they refused to compromise. "In fact, that's what baffles me most about this situation! You are the same person, the same mind. Was there truly never, ever a time in which you both saw eye to eye on things?!"
{If that doesn't work I'm having her use "shock therapy". You can probably guess what that means.}

((Yay! 8D ))
"Well...there were my days when I enjoyed killing...But that's past! I was weak, and spineless...The only reason we got along then was because I was too scared to handle my own problems..."

Finally, desperate for a difference between the two, Ophelia kissed one of the Kaisterns on the cheek. She had no idea about how the angry!Kaistern would react, but knew that the happy!Kaistern would probably either blush or react in an otherwise positive manner. (Positive translating to nonviolent at this point.)

((I'd ask which one she's kissing, but I somehow suspect I'd get a 'screw you, you pick' response for my smartassery, wouldn't I? XD ))
Sure enough, the attacking Kaistern blushed a bit in surprise, having expected a more painful method of her breaking the pair up, and weakened his attack on his pinned darker half.
"Gotcha." A grin spread on the dark half's face before he kicked both Ophelia and the good Kaistern across the room.
Wrapping his arms around her, the good Kaistern shielded Ophelia from the impact as they tumbled to the floor. "You idiot! I'd rather you have just shot me in the arm, or thrown something at me, or anything else besides risk getting so close like that!" he scolded her before sighing. "Are you alright?"

{In nicer terms, certainly. XDD}
"I needed to know which one was the kind you!" She figured that he would not have blushed or got embarassed if he were the angry Kaistern. If anything, if she were wrong, it would work as a good distraction against the angry Kaistern. Unfortunately, the same worked for the wrong party, which made her feel ultimately foolish. She let out a small sigh of her own. "I'm...I'm fine." She felt like a complete hindrance once again, though.
