I'm back in town. Not for... very long, I've got a lot of work to do, but I can stop by and make the rounds before I do anything too nuts.

Van Der Aart, we should talk. I've got some info that collaborates with our... excursion.

Niyo - we may need to get back in touch with Mobius, ASAP.

[Event]

[So you may be at the SpecInv Offices. Where some shit is going down.

And by 'some shit', Onni has a massive spear laid out on a worktable, humminh and hawing over it, taking notes, and overall just being very concerned.]

...It's not something we'll know for sure, unless I can ask her directly.

But- if you'll permit me backing up, a bit, you said your memory wasn't entirely clear? Do you mind... explaining that?

... Ah, well...

You're aware that Scythe's body, essentially... Was his weapon, correct?

Not initially, but after the encounter with Failnaught, I was very quick to put two and two together, yes.

Why?

... These forms we take-- they're nothing but... Let's call them manifestations. They're manifestations of our souls.

Sometimes, though... We "die". Our manifestations are injured, and our weapons are damaged. Sometimes, they're so damaged, that we need to be repaired. That's Failnaught's purpose. He repairs us, and he's the only one left who is capable of doing it.

But... thanks to the process, and our diminishing materials, sometimes, our memories are incomplete. We can end up acting as entirely different people, as result. You might say we're reborn.

Not that it can happen anymore, though.

...So you're reborn in different forms, with incomplete memories... and the "Labrys" who would have known the details of the Bujin's plot is not the same Labrys who I'm speaking to now.

...Except now without a home, and without materials, if any of you drop - it's gone for good, like Scythe.

*she nods slightly in confirmation to that*

Yes. You can understand just... What kind of position we're in, now.

Between the attacks by the demons, previous attempts at helping our world, retaliations due to the Astrals, and general degrading that's happening to our world and us, due to the chaotic space... our numbers have been vastly decimated.

And the Astrals won't stop until that number reaches zero, huh.

[He looks at the spear.]

...I wonder...

Edited 2016-02-05 08:24 (UTC)

Yes. Right now... there's only a handful of us left. If we can't resolve this soon...

*she shakes her head, leaving that hanging.*

... What are your thoughts, exactly?

...Your world, you and Failnaught both mentioned it 'degrading', yes.

It's in the Ettosyleit, then?

Yes. It's where we've been. It's where we were formed.

The chaotic space that is "Ettosyleit" is natural to us, and allows us to act at our full strength... but it's also quickly causing the demise of our world, and for us to wear away, thanks to the chaos, and the demons themselves.

Why do you ask?

...You may think this risky of me, but-

I plan to enter the Ettosyleit. To see for myself exactly what it's like there... and to test the spear's abilities without the jewels that would power it.

...And perhaps, if I'm lucky, to find Amaterasu.

I do not make any false opinions that the mission is incredibly dangerous, but - I always learn more about what needs to be done when I get into it, myself.

*she gives you this look of "are you a suicidal idiot".*

... Yes, I definitely think that's risky of you.

I don't know how the chaotic space might affect humans-- or really, anything other than Barians, or the demons.

I absolutely can't assure you that you'll leave that space intact.

[It's okay he expected that.]

It's the only way to really know what we're dealing with here.

I don't back down very often - and I've had my fair share of close calls.

But... if fixing the spear can lead to us not having to fight over the Legendary Numbers, then I'm going to do everything I can to accomplish that.

That way, no one has to suffer any more than they already have.

... An admirable effort, but... I do recommend you rethink this.

The chaotic space is something you don't simply enter and leave, without being deeply connected to it. You might not even enter into a space that's inhabitable.

... If that happens, I really can't guarantee you'll receive any help.

...I know.

But I have to try. Both for you... and for Amaterasu.

...As foolish as it might be, I think there's more than just a sliver of Hirume in her, who's been trying to talk about this all this time.

I just... wanted to let you know that I wasn't going to sit idle here.

*... she sighs a bit*

I can't make demands of what you do or don't do. If this is what you've decided on, then I won't stop you.

But make sure you have an idea of how to leave before you try this. A failsafe.

That's the idea - we'll have a way out if we need to. I won't leave you in the lurch while I have a lead on how to help.

I've never been worried about getting myself messed up before - and I'm not about to start now.

*... she picks up the box*

Fine. As long as you're aware of the consequences of this...

I wish you luck, but I still think this is overly risky.
