...so someone on the side of the government is creating these shutdowns. [A corrupt government, a secret society designed to oppose them. He draws his mother's knife and studies it. The sigil on the hilt glows the same color as the light running down its blade as it reshapes into a sword.
He lays the sword across his lap.]
If any of them show up here, we'll deal with them. [He runs his fingers along the flat of the blade.]
Powers are still available here but they're limited. ...normally I'm faster than a human. I'm just slightly above them right now. Bayards are faulty. I had to talk to Storyteller to get my sword working right.
That's probably what's going on. And they're using us as their scapegoat because they know we're their biggest threat.
[ which is...kind of amazing, to be honest. it just shows how much they've accomplished, up until this point.
even in the phantom thieves might be over by the time she comes back home.
but she doesn't think about that. instead, she looks in awe at how the blade transforms. but then what he says about dealing with them? that gets ann to smile. she looks up at him with a smirk on her face. ]
I like the way you think! [ hell yes. ] I guess mine is a little different. Personas are usually just things that are used in the Metaverse. And unless there's a Metaverse here...
[ oh, ann. you sweet child. ]
Maybe I'll seriously try to bring out Carmen, one of these days. She's pretty awesome.
We’ll see if you have access to Carmen or can find a way to have access. I’d talk to Storyteller. You should talk to them anyway. They’re good company.
[He needs to talk to them again. But he wants to have information to bring back to them first. And...he has to get used to having Lance and Shiro back. It feels strange. To have people he knows are his people with him. Lance who remembers. Shiro...who doesn’t.]
Maybe one day I can show you the Black Lion. He’s a cool partner.
