[ This day is shaping up to be 'emotionally taxing trials: the saga'. He's lost his family three times over in the course of 27 years, give a guy a break.

But, well. It's an innocuous question, and as much as he wants to go the 'don't ask me things you don't have to know' route, he tosses it aside. For now. ]

Adolf Reinhardt. It won't do you much good to remember.

[ He stops, taps a section of floor with one foot, and then sidesteps. ] ...There's a trapdoor there, be careful.

[dereban]

It's not impossible, but. . . The people working for CERES, I don't think they're entirely human. So it's definitely possible that the ones monitoring us can easily see every single thing we're doing. Besides, keep in mind that a good majority of us [ in this bar ] are comprised of "code", too.

They've extracted memories and implanted them into other people's heads before. They can do that again.

[ Thankfully, the person who had received her memory was no longer in this world, which was somewhat of a relief, but... ]

It's possible that our current CEO isn't the one who decided to show us this, but instead someone close to her.

[adminproof]

Ha...you need not worry. I've no intention of causing trouble for you or others.

[...For the most part.]

Although...if I were to do so, what would you do?

[Just asking out of...curiosity. He's honestly not trying to be a little shit (but succeeding anyway), but it'd be nice to know what Sousei's capable of, should he divulge that much, or what he does.]

kongwai:

[adminproof]

[from here!]

[Answer: all of the above, really. They float their way down into the darkness of the maze, landing amongst file cabinets. Lots of them.]

Were your skills in much demand?

[Making small talk as they acclimate to their surroundings...for him, it's not small talk so much as a genuine desire to get to know the other, oblivious to Kongwai's actual opinion of him.]

[worldcup]

You'd really do that?

[worldcup]

I see. Well, don't worry. I had a familiar that took a lot more prana than something like this and I was fine.

[adminproof]

Ah...

[And all of a sudden, it makes sense, and he knows how to put on his business face, so to speak. Granted, the definition has been muddled over time.]

Are you under ownership of anyone?

[Swords talking to Swords.]

[adminproof]

Perhaps they believe the data they will gather from observing individuals under certain extreme circumstances will assist them in recovering data about our lives. They did tell us to live...

[He closes his eyes, a small smile on his face.]

But, to truly understand what it means to live...cannot be done as an observer, this I now know.

[reprizesal]

I'm currently serving the saniwa as his sword.

[Sayo doesn't want to touch the "ownership" question. He serves Haru, who summoned him. But before that, the private collection owned him and only grant permission for the organisation to use him.

It's Mildly Complicated.]

[adminproof]

...I see.

[No wonder he sensed a bright light emanating from this human boy. He might not know Sorey's circumstances, but to have the title of Shepherd (doing things others can't), to shepherd others, guiding others...was a large responsibility, no matter what. Especially given what he's seen over the course of thousands of years. It's hard, to hold the weight of the world on your shoulders. It's hard and Saiduq himself worries, regrets sometimes, that he might have forced people to do just that, out of his own supposed selfishness to see humans prosper, to see them properly defended against supernatural threats.

These responsibilities to protect freedom can become the very chains that bind them. His smile fades slightly, and it is with a flash of guilt in his eyes that he responds, ephemeral and only visible if one were quick and perceptive enough, but there.]

That is quite the weight you bear on your shoulders.

[worldcup]

You... actually did it. [ She doesn't understand why, but okay. Cool. ]

[catmagnet]

[ Who even needs that many file cabinets? While he's replying to the question, he takes a look around, hoping to see a possible exit somewhere. ]

Well, I only got accepted as a fellow team member before due to a display of magic. So you could say that.

[ He consciously leaves out the part where he essentially forces himself into the party by using his ability to deal with otherworldly monsters as leverage. No one needs to know that but them! ]

[catmagnet]

Understood. Let's go put this plan into action then—who knows what'd happen if we stay here too long?

[ Just give him a few seconds to pick up those bandages and he'll be ready to go. ]

[heiwana]

...it is not. And it has made being here even more suspicious than when we first arrived.

[ He shakes his head. ]

...no they simply allowed groups of us to enter the building. But...nothing came of it.

[immobileyes]

Not... exactly? Maybe your things are still in the world outside of here?

[ This is a (terrible, awful, no good, very bad) game, after all. ]

[zenryokuzenkai]

That might be true too, but for me, I'm going to err on the side of getting things done. Nothing is worse than being made to stop because of a maybe. It's a bit reckless, but that's the nature of the job.

[ Between possible death and definite stagnation, Nanoha knew which she was going to choose. ]

Who would be close to her? Are you suggesting Mosley? That seems even less likely somehow.

[unwaverings]

[ Well, he nods his head at that. ]

Yeah, that's the kind of stuff we have.

[ He's not from a place that has much technology at all, really. ]

Everything I've seen here is nothing like what I had back home. [ ViViD, that powerpoint, and even some of the stuff he's seen in this hospital ... ]

[faithfulflame]

Of course, Illyasviel-chan.

jaco.

[antagonize]

( ⇦ )

[That is — something. A sight, maybe? "Ridiculous space cowboy" is right, and Jason almost has trouble concentrating on his words while watching that display. Almost. This is pretty much a case of pot meets kettle... considering that Jason tends to do way too many things just for the sake of dramatic effect.

Don't judge him, gosh dang it.]

Well, that is generally what a vigilante is. Taking the law into your own hands.

[He sounds so reasonable about it??? Like he doesn't do the same thing, because the law is a joke and the legal system has way too many holes in it. Haha.]

heung soo park.

[antagonize]

( ⇦ )

I know.

[... Probably. If the way he carries himself wasn't Jason's first clue, then walking into a room and asking if it's "nothing for real" was. Or, maybe it was the very honest denial. He elaborates on this, though.]

You don't look like a doctor. More like someone got a PhD certificate from a cereal box, handed it over, and said: "Go on, sonny. Do some biopsies for us."

[Calling people "sonny" when they are, like, literally the same age.]

yuu kanda.

[antagonize]

( ⇦ )

Just because it's a maze, it doesn't mean there's no way to know where you're going. There are rules for this — helpful guidelines.

[His best sucks, okay. Someone has to break the news to him.]

But judging by your response, I'm guessing the answer is "waiting to hit a dead end".

[niceguypose]

That's right! [He gives a confused frown.] Is that not what you wanted?

[shikisha]

[ ...Nonon just stares blankly. ]

You tell me you're a zombie or whatever, and now you just want to touch me, but not for any reason? And you're surprised I'm weirded out by this?

Shuu

[rebelia]

←

[ When Shuu says it like that, IV thinks he's being left on his own, which is fine; however, there's no other direction to go, so he's saddled with the guy either way. Passing the demon's younger self on his way up to match pace, he gives the apparition a brief side glance while ignoring his own. ]

You're also looking, aren't you?

[patrimony]

Lady Lailah appears to have adapted quickly to the situation here. It could be that the others may be the same.

[ She follows - walking side-by-side with the other. ]

Though, she mentioned something fairly odd.
