::So, Judai and Asuka and anyone else living at Sakana, you feel a shift in the air this late August Day, as someone approaches from the trees, walking on the top of residential walls and other objects. Green haired, adjusting gloves.::

Comments

[i_like_red]

Right.

Well, as I mentioned, I don't think our stance has changed with that. I think the both of us still are unwilling to hand over his research to you.

[daeasterncourt]

And please reiterate what your issue is with giving them to us.

[i_like_red]

Being honest? I don't really trust you or how you act like you have some kind of authority over things.

And I feel Fujiwara's stuff isn't something I should put into the hands of someone I don't know or trust.

[daeasterncourt]

Yet, we are the ones who know the ghost roads the best.

Not even the Foreign Queen knows the way to the Farthest Gate.

We may have issues with her, but those are matters to be resolved AFTER all parties aren't perishing on a sinking boat.

::Whispering into her husband's ear.::

I'm not saying I trust them, nor to give them Fujiwara's journal pages. But I do get the sense they are being sincere on this at least. Call it a small hunch.

[i_like_red]

*Judai listens to what Asuka whispers to him, before nodding and taking a deep breath.*

Alright. Let's go over why you believe the world is dying again. Obviously, if there is a threat of that, I want to take it seriously, but I want to make sure you're not mistaken in anyway and/or see if there are other ways to deal with it.

[daeasterncourt]

It was hastily put back together when the dragon with jaws of venom, a dark reverse scale, heterochromatic eyes and clear wings, as well as the goddess with a body of flowers and wings of music danced under the moonlight to the spell of the wind, both tore the universes apart, but in the process there wasn't enough star stuff to make a proper world.

Imagine someone who got shot point blank with what you call a shotgun, but was lucky enough to not instantly die but is unable to receive medical care. It needs a transfusion of blood, but is only getting bandages.

[i_like_red]

Okay. Despite the... flowery language, I think I understand what you're getting at.

So you're saying when our currently reality was created, it was kinda patched together and needs to become more stable. Am I correct?

[daeasterncourt]

Yes. That strips the details, but is correct.

[i_like_red]

And stabilizing it is what you're mainly aiming to do here?

[daeasterncourt]

Yes, as our personal agendas and tiffs can wait until the ship, so to speak, isn't sinking.

[i_like_red]

And you believe that the way to stabilize it is by using Fujiwara's research?

[daeasterncourt]

We believe that the sorcerer's notes can lead us to the door that can stabilize it.

[i_like_red]

I'm curious.

How did you learn about his notes and come to the conclusion they can help in this situation specifically?

[daeasterncourt]

We had our court scholar investigate on the matter after a certain incident involving the entity you call "Darkness".

The door and the realm of "Darkness" we suspect are not too far divided.

Think of it, as, we believe the term is

"A maintenance shaft".

As a free gift, King, as our scribe learned of it. He also came across something very interesting.

Have you ever heard of "The Last Class of the Amnael Seminar"?

[danse_etoile]

!!

::An expression of surprise covers Asuka's face.::

[i_like_red]

*Judai notices her reaction.*

Is that something you've heard about?

[danse_etoile]

Yes. But it's something I'd rather discuss in private.

::Whispering.::

[i_like_red]

*He gives her a small nod to show he understands, before turning back towards their guest.*

Not something I've heard of.

To be fair, anything connected to Fujiwara I wouldn't mess around with lightly. Is this the only option you're considering to help 'fix' things? Or do you know of other ways?

[daeasterncourt]

A body needs blood. We need to let new blood in. But the doors to do so are not meant to be opened.

Ask the Mother of All Horrors, We suspect she will give thee the same answer, King of the Gentle Dark.

::Standing up.::

We see your Queen has matters to discuss with you.

Shall we arrange for the possibility of a third round, so you can inquire with the Witch and your Lady?

[i_like_red]

Yeah. I think Asuka and I need to discuss some things first, so it's best we carry this on at a later date.

[danse_etoile]

Yes, we would definitely like to regroup to clarify details.

Thank you for taking your time with this matter.

[daeasterncourt]

Of course. Very well, may you do well, Lord and Lady, especially as we approach the Western Witching Time.

::Politely bows, before leaping into the air and out of sight, the lesser tengu disassembling the structure their master(s) were standing on.::

[i_like_red]

*Once they're gone, Judai lets out a sigh and rubs his head.*

I swear... the way they talk kinda irritates me. I think it's all too formal for my liking and they don't exactly say things as straight-forward as I'd like, it's all messed up with this fancy language they use.

[danse_etoile]

Hrm. Just a guess form a life time of experience with everyone in my family that isn't my brother. But.

They're being downright casual with us and extremely straight forward, from their perspective.

But it is definitely irritating.
