[LOG: ONNI VS ALEX, be sure to read this thread for context!]
I think I can finally start posting to here again. We're still quite a bit ways from the happy ending, but. Well. It seems like a lot of the political types are accepting that even if they want to maneuver around us, they don't know even a tenth of what Juudai and I know about this supernatural stuff, which means we're given quite a fair bit of leverage. For now, anyway.
Now if only that didn't mean mountains of paperwork. Between this and finalization on the building OOPARTS will be in, I've hardly had a moment to myself. Luckily, it's... starting to cool down.

...If anyone is sees Alexandra Grant, she's to be considered extremely dangerous, and stopped if at all possible. I'm. A little embarrassed to admit this information is coming to you guys late. The circumstances of which this occurred happened in the midst of the Barian Island media blackout. But Alex is currently an extremely high-level threat, planning on attacking and, if possible, killing the Astrals.
All of them.

...Susan, I've gotta talk to you.

Re: [Filtered Thread]
And I repeat:
You beat them in a contest of magical combat.
You free their souls from the undeath they are damned to.
And then you cremate the bodies so they stay dead.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Which is how we ended up in the current situation.
Because you fucks didn't burn the goddamn bodies.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Re: [Filtered Thread]
And? All of the Past Dark Signers or allies of the Earthbound Immortals had someone that they were important to.
Disposing of the bodies to make sure they can no longer be used is a sign of respect to those damned to their service, to make sure they can move on, and their soul transmigrate into a better life, untainted by the corruption of the Dark Signer.
We got soft this cycle for some semantics-related reason that goes beyond me.
It blew up in our face.
Which means we have to clean it up.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
As I pointed out to Ancient Fairy and Shinoko, she doesn't seem to be using the power of whatever Earthbound she's bound to. And seems... cognizant, on some level.
It's likely this is a mix of some other magical influences she has acquired in the time since the whole Dark Signer incident, but it's not quite blind emotion, like it may have been in the past.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
If she's in the form of a Dark Signer, she's tied to the Immortal and using its power somehow unless she really fucked up the system.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
I'd put the odds on whether it's that or her fucking with the system at a strict 50/50, sir.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Great.
There are two things I hate in this world, besides cowards.
Time Travel.
And Quadratic Wizards trying to bend and ripping the system a new one.

Re: [Filtered Thread]
But I won't let you use it as an excuse to retroactively impugn the one time we've acted with some level of humanity in the last 5,000 years.
Those five didn't deserve to lose the rest of their lives just because they were tainted by the Earthbound Immortal and you know as well as I that we would've left this city and this world weaker. If we'd never killed them in the first place in some botched attempt to be proactive, they may never have become emissaries of the Underworld in the first place and we both know it.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Gone native, have you? I don't consider myself "Human", sister.
Ad I consider it a sign of respect to let them go and move on.
And I'm trying to remember which of us was trying to be proactive...
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Re: [Filtered Thread]
A little ironic to duel them to free them from undeath, to me.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
I'm aware.
In my day, Signers used to be a bunch of kids and folks from regular walks of life.
Not a ghost like you, or whatever Fairy's Signer even is.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Being used as a tool by a god.
Just... This sounds screwed up, but it wouldn't feel right if I went ahead and tried to kill her again for it. It sounds like this is a choice she made, isn't it?
Re: [Filtered Thread]
It does.
I just note what is done in the past and it usually works. You're the emissary of the Dragon Star That Burns Crimson, you ultimately decide. I am the blade that lets you fight.
But the best case is always to kill them from my personal experience.
If you think there's a better way, do it. But by not killing them, both Grant and Futaba have become much larger entities than they should be and that can lead to its own set of problems.
Magic finds magic.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
I could always go for the Dark Game route-- try to disable her, cut off whatever kooky thing she's doing, but that can really easily backlash if I'm not confident about it.
And the sad fact is, I know she's very competent, even if I've never faced her myself before.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
In other words, we've failed to train you up, sufficiently, so we're staying out of this one.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
Magic has an explanation:
It's Magic. It's other forms of energy harnessed to do things and manipulate what humans call cosmic strings, ultimately.
Magic is technology. Technology is magic.
Re: [Filtered Thread]
I'll at least give though that I'll do something if she gets up in my face for some reason. Or I spot her trying something.
I know my boundaries, but I'm not going to just toss off work because of it.

How good to see you're still a grotesque psychopath.

You call it psychopathy. I call it being practical.
