I went ahead and investigated that situation that Kai had brought up yesterday, and...

He's right. He does look a lot like Scythe, but... It's not exactly the same. It might just be a coincidence, but I'm not sure. I'll ask Failnaught a bit about it. ... He also has the same taste in clothes, too. It's surreal.

Also, I did try against that system he had set up-- at his own offering, since I was pushing about it, but... Perhaps I was too much for it.

I can't believe you OTK'd and then overheated the system.

I almost felt sorry for the robot.

It wasn't my intention. The life limit it had applied was too little, and I had no interest in holding back.

You could've held back a little. That Mamoru guy looked like he was about to have a heart attack.

Then he should work on creating a better, more resilient system.

I swear, Labrys...

He said nothing about needing me to hold back. So I didn't think too much of it.

Most of the people he's intending that for are normal soft and squishy humans.

Not you, the almighty demon slayer.

I have to wonder what his intentions are for the system at all, then.

Not to have it be blown up by my sorta-kinda older sister.

Aegis has more common sense than you.

Well, apologies, but I had no gauge for how sensitive the equipment was.

I'm used to dealing with more stubborn machinery, recently.

Well I'm now going to be dragging you around town so you get some.

What? Why?

...Weird.

This is the guy in charge of those 'fake' dark games at LDS, yeah?

"Fake" is the right word for it, I suppose. I'd call them weak.

But yes, this is the same one.

Huh.

I've been wondering what was up with that guy. This'd explain alot.

Explains what? This is the first time I've really heard of him directly.

Yeah, uh. When my partner was investigating LDS undercover, he got to sit in on the first round of these, at least the one where my bastard daughters dueled his system?

They were... very unstable? Apparently enough that the younger one could synchro with an XYZ.

I'm more bothered why they'd try to recreate dark games without delving into magic, myself.

I see.

Right now, it's clear to me that even if they attempt to do so, they'll never accurately recreate them even if they want to. And for what purpose is beyond me.

It does concern me that Kai experienced such an odd incident with it, though... And Synchro with an Xyz? Impossible.

Yeah, but maybe he's tapping into SOMETHING if Kai got to see all of that. ...What was your opponent?

Hey, she 'believed really hard' in it.

I dueled against the Beagalltach "AI" that Kai had dueled against, at my own request.

I handled it in one turn.

...Yeah, alright. Did it strike you weirdly though? Or did you smash first and ask questions of it never?

I "smashed first". It took the first turn. I responded.

That's... fair, I guess.

I think I had gotten enough of an initial impression irregardless, from the atmosphere that was induced.

I do have a possible thought, however.

Yeah? Like what?

I have a thought that it wouldn't have mattered if I had dueled the AI to any extended point.

As it was trying to simulate a Dark Game, it would have tried to respond to the possible feelings of the opponent.

As in, the reason that the Beagalltach AI responded strangely to Kai, is because Kai has a problem with Beagalltach. The real Beagalltach.

Right, that'd make sense.

Hnm.

I guess this'd be a good way for me to stretch my dueling muscles again since I think my youngest is still banned and I think the middle's life just exploded and my oldest may not be aware of anything that's not his weird conspiracies.

You can try, I suppose. This was only a theory, however.

Theories are best put to the test, yeah?

My deck's great at faffing around until I get tired of it, I'll see if he's got any AIs that'll react to me.

Very well, tell me if anything results of it.

I'm going to try to see if I can get Failnaught's attention enough to listen to my own questions.

Yeah, I'll keep you folks in the loop.

I owe you for helping my buddy out a bit.

Hnm? What did I help with?

I mean, you were standing by and ready to chop him down if he berserked out too much, like I was, yeah? It's the thought that counts.

... Ah.

No problem, then. It was where my home was, after all. We were prepared. You don't need to thank me for it.

You guys are talking about the guy who is running those tests at LDS, right? I checked the archives.

What's the guy's name, again? OOPARTS has SpecInv's old records files and that was at a time where I was more hands-on with the cases, I can dig something up.

"Yamada, Mamoru" is his name, apparently.

Right, gimme a sec.

...Found him.

"Yamada Mamoru, suspected of possession, rampaged through Domino downtown shopping district. Found unconscious by SpecInv, likely due to unknown vigilante (later confirmed to be Alexandra Grant, wherabouts unknown). Restrained for public and personal safety in D.D. Cell #2, released after psychic examination revealed little to no memory remained of possessed period, under Victims of Magical Assault Good Faith Clause. No charges. Unknown magical artifact retrieved at scene of collapse, inert."

[Assume there's a picture of his mugshot here]

Same guy Scythe possessed. Doesn't look -too- different though. Lost the glasses and apparently decided sleep was something he could do without, but otherwise there's no real evidence of appearance radically shifting after the incident.

Edited 2017-02-03 19:35 (UTC)

... So it was the same person as that incident...

It's just bizarre, that he looks so similar to him-- especially before. The glasses do make a difference, but he lacks the gaunt expression he had now.

Failnaught suspects some original sampling may be in place here, but to be that similar to this extent is unusual even to him. He said he'd have to see him himself to really be certain of it.

Though I somewhat imagine I'm not exactly welcome anymore around him.

Edited 2017-02-03 19:42 (UTC)

And sampling one person to that extent tends to lead to... issues, right? Scythe had been stable according to what you guys said.

...I could maybe go in to mediate, but I'm trying to keep my distance on a personal level. Though, admittedly, Mamoru's tests are something I've wanted to examine myself for some time, out of both concern and curiosity.

That said, does he in fact blame you for wrecking the system, these kind of things happen often with prototypes, speaking from experience, there might not be that big of a grudge.

Scythe had no issues as far as we knew, other than being quick to make rash judgments. But I just wonder how it could be done to this extent, since our creation would've been far before he'd have been born.

... though, to be fair, we don't exactly have much experience in terms of how humans could look like us, or even be compatible with us. Those like Kai, Koyo, even Alexandra, or even the fact that Scythe had managed to possess this "Mamoru"... before recently, it was unheard of.

Then why don't you examine them, even separate from my own concerns?

The way Kai put it, my actions seemed to put him through an incredible amount of stress.

Well, yeah, you -did- necessitate the need for him to repair his systems, demonslayer. That's gonna be stressful on any inventor or researcher! Doesn't mean he necessarily hates you, though.

...I'm probably gonna have to. I was gonna be content to collect what info I could in secret, but Sullivan's cover got blown, which means I should probably just talk to him about it.

That does raise some... unique concerns, but it could just be bleed-over between the Human world and the 12 Dimensions. It's been known to happen before, on occasion. Time shit gets weird when you factor in that.

The possession, though, now that you mention it, is very out of character for you guys. Might be time to look back into the particulars of that case.

Edited 2017-02-03 20:07 (UTC)

I know nothing of covers, but it seems like it's something you wanted to know about irregardless.

I think I should still keep my distance for now, even if you say he won't hate me for it, but if you'd want to, you can escort Failnaught to the location so he can speak with him.

And yes, possession in itself is a strange thing. But... Scythe was also not himself, I imagine.

Assuming he's willing to show his face for a bit, I'd be happy to.

He's interested in this situation, so he will.

Even if I have to convince him to go for it at all.
