I mean, they were all stressed about sending anyone to defeat you when you were an S and our best, A's. So maybe we went a bit overboard with that. Well, what makes you think you can kill all of us? Or, each of us individually?

@Disdain

I continue to see that outcome as likely. No comment.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I don't think I can very much.

@Threads of Fate

Then I suppose failure is nigh-inevitable?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

That’s what the ranking system said, back then. You were S, and Seth and I were A.

@Disdain

Is that all? Mmm.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

The probability Codex said that she wasn't sure you'd come. But each certain event raises our odds higher. If you agree to help us, maybe we have a better chance. I'll admit, I'm not desperate because the probability of death hasn't started to weigh on me, not yet. But I'm in my right mind, and that's much better for preventing that death, in my opinion.

@Disdain

I question what has led you to consider me strong.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

*Grins weakly* Our odds are less than fifty percent, which is bad enough for anybody. The help of the—the—strongest Codex around would be amazing.

@Disdain

*Frowns*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

What do you mean?

@Disdain

You seem confident enough in your odds without my interference.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I don't know if I'm desperate. I know I've been a hero before, and that I'm ready to do it again, but I don't have to be desperate to do it.

@Disdain

Then I don't suppose my help would be useful to you.

Myriad Reality

@Threads of Fate
<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

I think it would. But But this Codex—what's your name, by the way?—says that we all have to work together for the best odds. So that hurdle is still there, though maybe not as high as it has to be set for your ritual.

@Disdain

How desperate are you to succeed?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

Well, um, I mean, I kind of have to have faith in this assembly.

@Disdain

I assume my help would increase your statistics for success.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Legend Begins>

You're—I guess you're right. I'm here to prevent a full-scale invasion of Existence. But death was the way we convinced everybody else. And it won't inspire dedication for long; you're right there, too. It feels like you'd have to get to know every one and figure out what motivates them, and that's exactly the thing I guess you expected we'd never do.

@Disdain

Precisely. How much faith do you have in this assembly?
