::So, in an abandoned and severely damaged part of the Barian World, presumably near the center of it, you can find Koyo trying to get a half damaged computer operational. And it doesn't seem to be progressing well.::

Hrm.

I think some friends and friends of my friends back on Earth had a similar issue with a law official.

You can tell they're crooked but nothing proves it.

[all_for_not]

Funny how that is. I guess no matter where you go, you end up having problems like that.

It's definitely an issue, when it comes to Caduceus. But as far as we're aware, she is still helping us.

... At least, we hope so.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

And if she's been making you help her by making you think she's helping you?

... I kind of want to call you old friend, but I'm not sure how rude that would be.

[all_for_not]

That's a possibility, yes. I don't know how deep her intentions might go-- if we're doing something that results in something she specifically wants, the question is what that something is.

[all_for_not]

*... his expression does soften a bit for a moment, though*

... You can call me an old friend. I never stopped thinking of you as one, after all.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... Even though I'm a complete stranger?

[all_for_not]

You are Moralltach, even in part.

I'll admit, I get confused as to who I'm addressing at times... Whether it's the human named "Kanzawa, Koyo", or Moralltach. But as far as I can see, you're a simultaneous existence.

Moralltach, even through his recreations, even though the moments when he's forgotten who I am, or even who he himself is, has always been my closest ally and friend. Same with Beagalltach.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... Well, then, I don't want to just move the Barian World.

I want to try. And repair it. Even just a tiny bit, if that's all we can do.

Do you mind me trying?

[all_for_not]

... I don't mind you trying, as long as you allow me to help.

I'd love to see our world restored, even if it's just a little bit.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

And why wouldn't I ask for your help, you cantankerous bastard.

[all_for_not]

I have to be sure, sometimes.

I might still be a little sore about you and Beagalltach vanishing off, you know. *well, he doesn't really come off as angry about it, but yeah, that's fair.*

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

It seemed the right decision at the time. My brother gave too much into despair.

[all_for_not]

... I guess that's understandable. This situation...

It's very easy to lose hope, especially when all hope is placed upon your shoulders.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

While, I listened to him, for better or worse, I. Never wanted to lose hope. Keeping the hope going...

[all_for_not]

... I don't know what either of you have planned, but... I had hoped you didn't intend on just vanishing, like you did. Nothing either you or Beagalltach said or did indicated it.

Do you even remember, what exactly happened?

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

No. Everything. Is scattered fragments. Motes of dust blowing in the wind. Broken, and every time I try to follow them, they just run out of my hands.

[all_for_not]

I guess we can only hope that maybe Beagalltach's memories have improved, by now... Aegis and Achilleshield's reports seem to indicate stability concerning him, but...

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

You think Kai's unstable?

[all_for_not]

Not unstable, but he's an unknown factor. I don't know how much of him is one or the other.

With you... It feels like a split. An even split, but working in cooperation.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

He seemed to be resisting Beagalltach if anything. For me... I don't know, I might just be crazy.

[all_for_not]

... Who knows what might've changed. Aegis and Achilleshield seemed to imply that he recognized them.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

He seemed to be taking great pains to avoid Beagalltach's sense of self drown him.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

... And, I think I heard something about the Bujin's realm being mentioned off hand?

[all_for_not]

... The Bujin's world was destroyed.

After I was told that, I went and attempted to access the world myself. It's truly gone.

[forgottenfrozenfloe]

I heard that. But then something else regarding something with one of the Demon Lords, I swear I read or heard about it.

Maybe I've gone crazy, and I haven't noticed...
