...I got my first check for my work as part of Kouji's new 'Sector Security' initiative.

I. Wbuh.

Buh.

Uh????

Guh.

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.
