I have no idea what you just asked.

[8th_castellan]

Don't worry 'bout it. Video game question. You know.

How's it hanging, Gale?

[gale_force]

Oh. I see.

I am well enough. Dare I ask about the obvious change in attire? And diction?

[8th_castellan]

I'll get you to play 'em ONE OF these days. Mark my words, tall sir.

Change? What? It's a new shirt, if that's what you're asking, but, uhhhhh...since when did you notice that kind of thing?

[gale_force]

Allow me to outline a simple deduction: you are clearly not an alt, since you know who I am. Unless, of course, you come from a universe very closely paralleled to my own.

In addition, there is a temporal crisis in the Nexus. Which happens to be where you are standing right now.

My conclusion: forget I said anything for the time being. It will be much less confusing in the long run.

[8th_castellan]

...You got it, bud.

Gale is so weird sometimes.

[gale_force]

Pardon the string of (possibly obvious) questions, but . . . indulge me?

So you like video games. How else do you spend your time these days?

[8th_castellan]

Kinda...hangin'? Finished college, now sorta chill at the castle and in the Nexus with Hips and the rest. Y'know.

Why? Are you gonna say I need to get a job again? Cuz, again, I don't really NEED one.

[gale_force]

I doubt you could manage to find one with those piercings. Not to mention the hair color, but I suppose I am not one to speak.

What field of study did you seek your degree in?

This is all terribly interesting. Great way to spend an evening: sipping a cup of tea and interrogating your Nexus, LOL'd friend.

[8th_castellan]

Hey, I can take 'em out. And are you talking about the blue, or the grey? Because one was Hips' idea, and the other is just the way I am, man. Don't be a hater.

College-wise? Pre-Law.

[gale_force]

Hippolyta never struck me as one for unusual hair modifications.

Law? Interesting. Do you plan on continuing your education?

You really should, but you probably knew I would say that.

[8th_castellan]

Yeeeeeah, she said she just wanted to try it out, and I gave her the go-ahead. But after she was done, she decided it was too metro, so I'm stuck with it. But hey, I'm kinda fond of the color now. Blue looks good on me in general.

Continuing? Not really. I kinda-...Eh, it's complicated. Mostly to do with my condition. You know the one. But either way, I was just doing pre-law because it's what my old man, rest in peace, wanted. But I'm done with it.

[gale_force]

Gale briefly wrestles with the urge to ask about Los Illuminados and how events unfolded in this Ramon's memory, but . . . no. He can't bring himself to it.

You really should find a subject that truly interests you, and pursue it, whether it be through work or education. Life should not be all play, even if you have the means to make it so.

[8th_castellan]

Man, really? I would if I could. But I don't feel like going to any sort of college affiliated with the Nexus, first of all. And secondly...I dunno, just weird memories.

Can we drop this, Gale?

[gale_force]

My apologies for the lecture; bad habits are hard to break.

I will be dropping by the castle sometime in the next week or so. I suppose I will see you then?

He hopes to GOD this time business isn't communicable.

[8th_castellan]

No worries. It's what Gales do best.

Hey, really? Awesome! Maybe I'll take this chance to jump you with a Wiimote or GH controller. Any particular reason for dropping by, or just saying hi?
