*Continuing to explore the abandoned mansion, I open the next door along the corridor and step though to an unexpected sight.*
<Snipped quote by Zealz>
I'm sure word is gonna spread nearly instantly, but we can head to the village where the commander of the guard stays. We can easily find out a way to help from the people whose job it is to defend us.
<Snipped quote by Meta>
You've been around long enough. I feel like you should tell me?
*Glances downward at my own body*
Oh, sorry. You can ignore the getup. I'm running on an incredibly tight schedule now, because of this. I hadn't changed after also attending a big party.
*Puts my hand on my chin in not-so-deep thought*
It was a costume party.
<Snipped quote by Unhinged>
Would I have to prove to them?
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
You know, somehow I get a smidgen of an impression that you aren’t being entirely forthright with me. So who are you really?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
I’m not hiding anything from anyone. That act ended not terribly long ago.
*Crosses my arms*
Though I do refuse to call myself what seems to have caught on this time around, I’m sure everyone knows who I am. It’s genuinely a terrible name.

The one who destroyed this world, right? It’s written all over your face.
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
You? You can’t have anything to do with this.

You? You can’t have anything to do with this.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
Oy, you think you can give me a rundown of the story so far? And whether this road ends in a fight?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
*Maintains a locked and focused glare up in the sky toward ES*
Maelstrom’s the one who destroyed this world. A split personality Ridge holds and keeps suppressed as best he can. But I have no clue what he’s talking about, as though we’ve done this before.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
Is that not this guy? I totally misguessed here if not. I was thinking it was one of those “I was disguised the whole time” moments.

It’s not. But make no mistake, he is not our friend.
<Snipped quote by Valiance>
What’re the specs on this guy? Strengths, weaknesses, motives?

He doesn’t know. Not really. Ever since Data and his pals came along and broke the flow of things, I’ve held my cards close to my chest. The things any of you know me to be capable of, I assure you, you haven’t seen the half of it.
*Clasps my hands together*
But I hate talking about me, so let’s skip that part.
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
What does Data have to do with any of this?
<Snipped quote by Meta>
Nothing, as far as intentions go. It's ancient history now, but when my most recent self received a signal from beyond the boundaries of the universe he was from- this one- it sent just about everything off course. As a scientist, he never meant that, of course. A confined, controlled work, suddenly exposed to the outside world. And now, instead of "Ridge" here as per usual, I have one person from either end of his family tree here instead. The world often contrives our circumstances, doesn't it?
<Snipped quote by Galaxy Raider>
What’s all the talk about “recent selves”? Are you not the same person all the time?
