∞ 45: A nightmare [voice/action]

[chikaidestroyer]

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.]

[chikaidestroyer]

Yes.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

... Is there anything else that you'd like to tell me?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Such as?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

More details about this demon of yours, for instance. You've been very sparse with them.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Demon of mine? Hardly. He seeks the chaos of the battlefield. There really isn't much else to say.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Does he have a name?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

The Black Knight, Yuber.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I see.

Do you believe there was any particular significance, to this change?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

He is a past acquaintance of mine. An associate, if you must know.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

I see...

Are you certain you're all right?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

...

[He has been standing like that for awhile, hasn't he? He slowly settles back into the chair.]

I don't really know.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You know that you aren't. So there's something else bothering you.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

...

As I said, Yuber is a killer. One who takes pleasure in causing chaos and spreading discord throughout battlefields. The more havoc, the better. Though it shouldn't affect me, he is also the bearer of a True Rune, like Sasarai has blatantly announced.

He kills with no remorse, with little to no provocation.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

...

And how do you intend to not let it affect you?

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Several people maintain their personalities despite their physical changes. If I haven't devolved into killing anyone... Well.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

You're still concerned that it could be a possibility.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

It is still early in the experiment. We do not know if there will be a twist to their initial effect.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Considering that some people seem to be having difficulty... it's honestly not too far of a stretch, where that's concerned. There still seem to be limitations on strength capabilities, but being changed would make one stronger, depending on their new form.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Exactly.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

...

Whatever happens will happen... whether or not we can even be prepared for it or not. Or we'll... simply observe the same old patters which haven't gotten anyone anywhere.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Perhaps.

[action]

[wise_maiden]

It's utterly ridiculous.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

What?

[action]

[wise_maiden]

Hm? Just... the situation. I'll figure out something.

[action]

[chikaidestroyer]

Fine.

I'm going to go for a walk.
