∞ 45: A nightmare [voice/action]

This is...

[There's the sound of a book being dropped, then papers being scattered.]

...I am not amused.

[He curses at something not visible on the journal's little visual screen.]

Get off me, you-- Rune!

[ooc: Since runic legendary creatures (that is, the Rune incarnates) seemed a little ... out of his league, Albert's now a rather infamous ... person from his world.]

That's interesting. I don't think it's quite the same thing... but an interesting concept, regardless.

[She finishes wiping the blood away, only to find that there isn't a cut at all] ...?

From your reaction, I presume dragons are not uncommon in your world.

[He tilts his head when he realizes Raine has paused.] ...As I said, a demon.

In a sense, yes, though I'm sure if you compared them, it's likely the only thing they truly share is the name.

Is there anything else I should know?

True enough. I'm sure even the most common of animals have their differences in each world.

He is a killer.

I was just speaking to Lloyd about that recently. Although I suppose it hardly matters here... it just makes for interesting learning material. The more subtle differences, in any case.

[There's a slight pause. Obviously she's disappointed that he didn't think to bring any of this up sooner, but for the moment Raine will consider it as him being more disturbed than he wants to let on.]

... I'll add it to the list.

Because of the horse?

[He nods ever so slightly.] We will need to ... keep watch of how others behave under this duress. This is only the beginning of the experiment.

Yes, exactly.

Indeed. It doesn't seem likely that the Malnosso would encourage such... changes, without some twist to it. It's only fitting that they'd choose something which prompts much... disorganization. I suppose I honestly shouldn't be surprised. In any case, considering the numbers, the only real trouble it's likely to come down to is ... willing manpower, as usual.

Or we could just let everything devolve into chaos.

... [She pauses slightly at that, but assumes he's just being sarcastic.]

There are a fair amount of people who've yet to divulge their identities. Seeing as how few responded to the census being made on them while changed, another method will need to be implemented. Perhaps I can see if Vyse or Yuri are willing to send someone door to door... provided that there are enough Rogues and other members left intact, which I'm beginning to wonder. That boy who began writing his own lists might be of use for such a venture... perhaps for now it'll be enough.

You being transformed hardly helps matters, either, but I suppose something of this nature should have been expected eventually.

I hardly see the point of attempting the census in this situation. ["Or ever."] You will never have a complete picture of the village's inhabitants.

This situation makes things a bit more difficult. It is something that needs to be done between cycles... and besides, this is more of a survey gathering information on those who have found themselves altered.

There are still the usual inhabitants. If I had a better cross reference involved for all of these people who are experiencing changes, it might paint a better picture to how many are being effected at large... or at least, those experiencing changes immediately.

I'm sure. You're so intent on making it work.

Usual inhabitants.

Someone should be. ["And it might as well be me. Again."]

Even by looking at this list, there are many I haven't met personally yet, outside of the school. It would be good to be aware of, outside of data purposes.

Keep telling yourself that. You're not fooling anyone.

...

I beg your pardon?

You heard me.

I heard you. I don't understand why you'd be against such progress.

You mean, useless endeavor.

It isn't useless. The right way just hasn't been found to implement it yet.

Of course it has been. Why else do you think your attempts will never work?

Just because it failed in the past doesn't mean it's always going to fail. If -- there's a pattern established, then eventually...

It will change simply to spite you.

I don't see you offering any better suggestions in it's place.

Deal with the circumstances, of course. Improvise.

And how is that any different from what I want to see accomplished?
