That's correct, yes. She has... a number of names and titles but the most relevant ones are "Abraxia" and "The Silver Key".

A place called "Unknown Kaddath", purportedly somewhere in the city, 'where the Crawling Chaos rules over the Gods of Earth'. If that's frustratingly vague, trust me - I know.

...The most notable one was the... 'help' I achieved in stopping the missile in October. A certain someone who... appeared to have the assistance of Black Rose Dragon. I don't think I need to tell you why that part worries me. Beyond that, there's very much a reluctance to talk about where they're from or why they're here. Like if they break some sort of code something will come through the wall and eat them.

Two creatures were accidentally let loose on the city when Kamala accidentally opened a portal to the warp sometime last September. One of them was destroyed. The other is... under rehabilitation, after proving to be more willing to cooperate.

You mean besides the people who tried to blow up my niece with a missile? I mean, it's hard to say. There are apparently shadowy organizations who might be moving against these dopplegangers and using Earth as their playground. There's this Court that Kamala's... 'retainer' duel spirit, Hatomaru, is from - they wanted Kamala's power for some reason but he appears to be working against them. I'd be wary of supernatural birds. Beyond that...

..."Behold the birth of the uncrowned King who comes for his throne in dread Kaddath." A "Prophecy of Flame" a student unearthed in the Abandoned Dorm at the Academy. Most of the text has been done away with. Recently. I thought that the prophecy he was talking about revolved around the Obsidian King stuff, but.

This prophecy appears to be one that... might parallel Kamala's? It's unclear. I'm still doing more research but I don't like it.

Abraxia and The Silver Key.

... Onni, I hate to point this out. But. Kaddath is the name of your Cousin's estate, dork. And she's "The Crawling Chaos".

Oh, I thought Isabel died or something. ... I assume the person wasn't Ms. PTSD Bitch Tits with a Wood Arm.

... "Rehab". I thought those things were vicious sociopaths. Or is this you following a stupid "My Fair Lady" routine.

Anything else about this Court.

Done away with?

... Hrm.

Wouldn't it be that Kamala parallels the King's prophecy?

Yes.

I mean, yes. But for some reason I feel like the person asking me these questions was looking for. Something else. Again, you're asking my paranoia here. ...I should ask her if she has any ideas, though.

I'm pretty sure they're a Samasu, so, no, not Isabel.

We're trying something new. This one appeared to have some sort of ability to. Think beyond their next meal. And before you ask - I've been extremely cautious about them and making sure they know that if any incidents happen they are going to find out just how quickly the situation can turn on them.

Not that I can recall offhand. I think they think Kamala can lead them to a promised land that gives them ultimate power. You know, usual doom cult fair.

Stolen. Which means someone is interested in it. Hence my being on-edge.

I... it's possible, I suppose, but this is quite literally a 'chicken or the egg' scenario. Maybe Kamala end up being the ruler in place since the 'Obsidian King' has not manifested. I really couldn't tell you which came first, there's a lot of reality overwriting itself involved, I suspect.

You probably should!

... So not Isabel unless she went weird and decided to get Samasu plastic surgery. But I think that was the other girl's shtick.

How much ability to think beyond their next meal?

... Do deeper research into this Doom Court.

Now.

The million dollar question:

Who is The Obsidian King.

Definitely not Isabel, yes. Which, again, why I'm thinking it's Alternate Timeline Doppleganger Nonsense.

...Enough that I think they have developed some... sort of a moral code. Or at least have been adjusting to life here well enough to want to continue to exist here despite us making very sure they don't just eat another person.

Yes, Mayor Kouji.

...Samasu Shikou would be the name you know him as. There was. Some sort of prophecy about him, back when we were at the Academy, I think. It comes to me in half-remembered nightmares and moments where my concentration seems to slip.

...He rejects the title and whatever inheritances that would be granted to him but he has been living with the... 'authority' it grants him for some time.

Keep an eye on this Not Isabel.

Or it could be planning and waiting. To be honest I kind of want you to kill it with fire based on the reports of everything else that comes from That Place.

... So.

Kamala is a proxy for him because he failed to take his seat or something like that?

Will try to do so. They're slippery.

Well, we can't just kill them because they might commit a crime, Kouji. I think we're giving them all the leash we're going to give them until we can absolutely make sure they aren't going to cause any additional problems. But. I will make sure this is known.

...It's... possible? At least in this timeline, I guess. Obviously there has to be a timeline where Shikou took the throne - but Kamala doesn't exist in those. She's... kind of unique in that regard.

Fine.

... Explain why my friends' kid doesn't exist in other worlds.

To boil it down to its simplest terms, she's a child born of an entity that existed outside of time and only chose to influence the timeline we currently occupy, so the conditions for her existence literally don't happen elsewhere.

If you're asking me if that means Shiyoko banged a cosmic horror, you should ask Noriko.

... I am not drunk enough to deal with this.

I think I might log off and go figure out where we're moving Domino's Duel Academy

You're the one who asked! You can't blame me for the answer!

Talk to you later, Kouji.
