... There's two of him...

*Stares off for a moment then shakes myself back to normal*

Great. Of course.

@Yatagarasu

You really have a vested interest in this at this point, it's clear.

*Begins to say something to Violet but stops when Isis talks*

...

*I close my eyes, obviously pained by the information*

... Of course he did. To be honest, that makes me more hesitant to let you go there, but I suppose I already made up my mind.

@Yatagarasu

*Silently crosses my arms and shifts my weight to one side*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Are you a clone of someone?

*Looks to Violet*

Adopted? I suppose I should have thought of that first, but I never would have guessed he'd adopt.

@Yatagarasu

You seem overly familiar in fact.

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Intruders!?

*A spear materializes in my hands and I point it at you*

@Malevocholy

*Keeps my hands at my side and looks at you more expressionlessly than might have been expected*

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Don't lie to me, him having a child is impossible. Dynamo's partner isn't able to interbreed and she would kill him if he had a child with someone else.

@Yatagarasu

It’s not a biological relationship, as I understand it. But why do you know so much about her dad?

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Appears nearby*

You called, boss?

@Malevocholy

*Turns to look at you silently and raises my arm in a sheepish, uncertain wave*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

I did. I'd much rather send you with one than simply send you straight there. If you're amiable to that, then I would suggest it. They might even be able to help keep you alive if Dynamo decided to attack you.

@Yatagarasu

I am fine with it, as long as they don’t also have the goal of sabotaging us. You did admittedly say that you had reason to make sure we lose, at least as a possibility.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Again, there is unfortunately little I can do about it at the moment.

*Looks upwards*

... What would you like for me to do, other than send you straight there?

@Yatagarasu

Did you mention a guide? One that would keep an eye on us until the risk dissipates?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

Like I said before, it shouldn't be possible for someone to come in the way you did without me knowing beforehand. That it happened means something must be wrong, somewhere, in some way.

@Yatagarasu

That’s what I was trying to say. And the fact that we have a mutual enemy linked to it makes me think our problems might also be linked, in some way.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend>

I think the chances of you beating him, completely killing him before he can escape, and doing so as soon as you find him before he can garner any information from you, are very low. I don't mean any offense by that, I've simply underestimated him befote.

@Yatagarasu

Wait, before? So you know him? You have history with him? I didn’t expect us to be randomly dropped into a place where someone actually knew who and what we were dealing with.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Yatagarasu>

If following my dad's trail got us here, wouldn't you want us to beat Dynamo so he can't find this place? It seems like that will happen no matter what we do.

@Legend

*Nods*
That’s what I was thinking.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

<Snipped quote by Legend>

*Once again closes my eyes for a moment as I think*

The fact that you're here means you're close. The best I can do is give you a guide who can lead you past here, and have them shadow you until you've lost the scent of this place. Then they could give you a direct path. But that probably isn't ideal when you're on a time crunch...

*I open my eyes*

Time moves very slowly here, compared to most places, so you don't have to worry about having lost too much time. But I can't say the same for wherever you might go next. The real problem is that the circumstances I mentioned mean that I can't prevent what happened from happening again, so the chance of getting back here is unfortunately there.

This would he a lot easier if it were a different enemy, one who I didn't think could or would try to find this place.

@Yatagarasu

If his trail already lead us here, it sounds like it’s only a matter of time before he stumbles here by accident just like we did.
