Hello! There's an evil version of me still hanging around!

You haven't gotten rid of her!

She even tries to stab me with a butter knife!

And Noriko won't give me my house back!

Or tell me where Hiro███ is!

LOG: ONNI VS VIDYA (ALTER)

...I do wonder. Between Vidya and Lulu... and perhaps Tarou down there to some extent, though I would say my role there is more an enabler...

I'm starting to wonder if I might be a contributing factor in... these "exceptions", 'cuz?

[theheadmonarch]

? ? ? ? ?

[becomeanwarrior]

I mean, think about it.

What other commonalities are present in those two situations resolving in such a way that preserves... "both" identities, so to speak?

[theheadmonarch]

Uh.

I dunno.

Unrealized Realities aren't my thing.

[dreammoonchild]

Luck, unless you can cite a commonality between Vidya, Hirume and Mamoru-Tarou.

[last_sundust]

I heard my name being used, Don't Wear It Out.

[becomeanwarrior]

Urk...! Didn't expect quite so much attention...

Well, uh. Hrm. How do I put this.

With Tarou, the connection is thinner, but I was on hand to help react to the initial incident, and I have since aided Mr. Tarou by giving him a way to be ambulatory despite his... condition. A bit part in the grander scheme, but still.

With Hirume and Lulu, I had a vested interest in preserving things so that they didn't spiral. My actual contribution was low but my presence and presumably personal preference shifted the dynamic somewhat...

And we have Vidya now, and I was the primary person to respond yo her attack, such as it was, and defuse the primary threat.

The only commonality I can derive from my perspective is that I was a contributor to resolving every single incident, and that my general thought process was that I didn't want anyone to die.

... I don't know if this contributes either, but I am, yknow, kind of a stick in the mud, comparitively speaking. I don't like excess chaos or mayhem. I don't know if that really... "counts" for much, but.

I dunno. This is mostly all conjecture but I do wonder if that made a difference to some degree.

[dreammoonchild]

... Well. We'd need to test it again?

But. maybe?

[theheadmonarch]

Uh.

I don't get it???

[becomeanwarrior]

...I think me being a stick in the mud forces things to click into place even when they otherwise wouldn't.

I don't know why. But I feel like that might be something?

[theheadmonarch]

Maybe???

I'm not good with this stuff and I'm Extremely Busy right now.

[becomeanwarrior]

Yyyyeah, I see that. Good luck sorting it out, 'cuz. Holler if you need me.

[Private to Noriko]

You know, if you make her a teenager, she can cause less trouble overall, and get what she wants, in a manner of speaking... just saying.

[Private to Onni]

[theheadmonarch]

... Her Majesty might be best at this.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

I mean... its not the worst idea to get her involved, though I do worry that subconsciously turning Kamala on her might have, uh.

Knock-on effects. I don't know what kind but lingering resentment could be a thing. So we'd have to mind whammy her enough to make her not recognize that.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[theheadmonarch]

Come again?

I've barely been getting 3 to 4 hours of sleep.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

Your should make sure she doesn't remember Her Majesty's involvement, so as to keep this from backfiring too badly later. Cover your ass.

...Am I gonna have to get one of your sisters to strap you to your bed so you get a decent night's sleep, 'cuz.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[theheadmonarch]

... Make sure Vidya (Prime) doesn't? Please be clear. I'm really sleep deprived. Bush beating makes my head hurt.

They're both aware.

This is something That Mission Critical that I can't afford sleep.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

Yes, cuz. If you (or Her Majesty) is going to turn Vidya Prime into a brat make sure she doesn't remember it so that it's not used against you later.

...I believe you and trust you, for now, but note that I am going to be glaring at you very unhappily until you get rest or your secret project resolves itself. You should be taking better care of yourself.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[theheadmonarch]

"Remember it" being the incident or being an adult? I feel like you're bush beating... ...

I want to. Honestly! I'm just dealing with some really dangerous stuff that I need to be able to handle at any second."

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

Noriko. Please use context clues, I'm not bush-beating.

But, to be as unambiguous as possible, specifically, make sure she (Vidya Prime) does not remember you or Her Majesty turning her into a brat if that's what this comes down to, so that it (being turned into a brat by her step-daughter and step-daughter's aunt) is not used by her (Vidya Prime) for the purposes of revenge (revenge).

...Okay, but if you get any worse than this, I'm going to get Shikou or Juudai involved, and make them order you to sleep.

Re: [Private to Onni]

[theheadmonarch]

But I'm nice!

Re: [Private to Onni]

[becomeanwarrior]

Yes, and Vidya Prime is currently being powered by spite. So even if you are nice there is a chance she does not see it (turning her into a brat for her own good) as nice.

This is why I'm telling you to make sure you cover your tracks if things get that far.

[knowinginthedark]

Speaking of being an enabler I'm going to need to talk to you about something! In person, likely.

It's technically to help with a thing but I need-- what's the word-- some official clearance before I let my thoughts get ahead of myself?

[becomeanwarrior]

Official business, huh? Sounds serious.

Well, I'm hardly going to say no to a visit from you, Mr. Tarou. Simply name a time and I'll make myself available, I've gotten good at clearing my schedule as needed.

[knowinginthedark]

Will do, of course! Let me look at my schedule, and I'll pass along a time.
