I'm here for its heart. Glory can come later.

It’s overrated anyway.

Chickpea, you do the math. If we find the difference between here and the clock tower, can we find the epicenter?

Hmmmm...
*Taps my fingers against my lower jaw*
I wonder how many fairy cults there are out there...

@Techspert

Please don't play this game. Not now. Too much is at stake.

You're the one playing games, Shinji. You don't think I know her entire history? I was her first mate for how many years?

[Webmaster]

@Sp00ki
Why do I have such awful luck with you lot...?

"Heh, heh, heh... Always with the staring... I've come to make a deal... Perhaps, a small game is in order?"

*The figure doesn't reveal itself yet, but it sounds like it's voice changes slowly.*

@Sp00ki

*Still dead silence, and a sensation of being ignored completely, yet at the mention of a deal, you suddenly sense a sharp interest rise in your consciousness cortex*

@Techspert

Im not playing games. Im only making sure that no one ends up with their lifes ruined from past issues. This isnt just a chance to for me to prove my worth and redeem myself, but a chance for her to pay for her past transgressions, even if only a little.

@souleaterfan320

She's played you like a fool. You think she cares about anyone other than herself and that little cult of hers? Did she even tell you anything about her history?

Shinji: *glares at you*

No one will, including the Tier Five. You all clutch this information to your chest on BOTH sides of this conflict of interest and left me in the dark. You have very little idea the pure chaos of this metaphorical minefield im trying to navigate. What are all of you so afraid of me finding out? I know the ice I'm treading on right now. Im not stupid. I keep things the way they are now because so long as I do, everything remains in a realm of my control, and I can alter the outcome. I want an outcome of this in which we all return home alive and in one piece.

I'm not interested in protecting Fairy Blue. She's was kidnapped, indoctrinated into their ranks, and now she's as crazed as the rest of them.

@Techspert

You dont have to protect her. You just have to not attempt to end her life during this. Thats all I'm asking.

The witch didn't even tell you that much? You poor thing.

@Techspert

You're not helping the case in any manner, Star.

*pinches the bridge of my nose*

It doesnt have to be this complicated. We cqn just setlle this thing, end the Leader once and for all, and all return to our lives like this whole dumpsterfire of a meeting never took place. I respect you, star. Im only asking you do the same, even if just to a degree. Quite frankly, you've been quite disrespectful to me this entire conversation. Do you have something that needs said?

@souleaterfan320

I'm surprised she didn't make it clear to you. I hate Fairy Blue. Every bone in my body aches to see her gone again. And now she's trying to trick you to resurrect her cult at best, and kidnap my daughter at worst.
*Taps my fingers against my jaw*
I'm an open book. She's keeping secrets and using you.

@Techspert

Alright, tell me everything. From start to finish. I want to know everything you can recall. Im done with secrets.

Fairy Blue is a true immortal. Not like you or I, but really, deeply immune to anything beyond the faintest touch of death. That cult she was a part of abused that quality for some ritual of theirs, and it's all she remembers of her past. One day, some disaster struck thanks to one of the other fairies, and they all died. Well, in Fairy Blue's case not for very long. Eventually, she abused her own immortality to leave even her own dimension behind, and we met a little while after that.

@Techspert

Theres still a lot of grey area in the info you gave me, but thats a hell of a start. Now... what do you know of Black Paper Moon?

@souleaterfan320

That was her attempt to compete with the Nobility for the sake of the System. I thought she and I were the same, so when she asked me to join, I agreed to be her second-in-command. In retrospect, it was a silly goal.

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

Chickpea, you do the math. If we find the difference between here and the clock tower, can we find the epicenter?

@Artifact

I think they’ve got me a good perspective now. I can try to check the whole city out as well.
*Does a top-down scan of the city proper*

@Techspert

Alright... what happened after that?
