[ the video comes on to reveal Volkner wearing a hooded black cloak. It's really dark - the only light source in the room, besides the Guide, seem to be a circle of candles that he's standing in front of. ]

So. I'm supposed to be doing a summoning. [ ... ] I wasn't really paying attention when the cult leader explained what to do, though. I think

[ This is the face of someone who was panicking and crying for the fifteen minutes the feed was off. She wants to be mad at him, really, because that was so not funny to her, but she just can't be at the moment because more than that she's relieved. Whitney's gone, after all, so the very last thing she wants right now is to lose someone else.

She sniffles a little, wiping her eyes. ] ... D-don't scare me like that... [ A slight pause, as she tries to think of a way to make the conversation at least semi-normal. ] ... What kind of cult?

I won't. [ ... ] Did I worry you? I'm sorry.

[ He didn't mean to actually scare anybody... well, he feels kinda bad now. ] I'm not entirely sure, but I think it has something to do with the end of the universe, ironically enough.

Th-the end of the universe? Is it, um... is it even safe for you to be involved with them?

I'm pretty sure they have no actual ability to summon spirits or end the universe or whatever it is they want to do.

[ ... hopefully he isn't proved wrong about that. ]

I hope they don't... just, ah, be careful, okay? I-I don't want you to get hurt.

The whole thing seems pretty harmless, to be honest. I can't take this whole cult thing very seriously.

... But I'll be careful.

[orangemineral]

[ don't you mean mostly harmless ] ... Thank you. [ ... ] It does seem a little silly, though.

[electivires]

[ ahaha well played!! ] It is. The whole get-up is pretty silly, to be honest - just take a look at this cloak.

[orangemineral]

[ tee hee ] It looks way too big on you to me...

[electivires]

Yeah, I can barely make my hands stick out of the sleeves. And the cult gatherings are fairly amusing, too - just to see people take this kind of thing so seriously.

[orangemineral]

I wonder why some people do... it seems a little sad almost.

video;

[electivires]

Well... everybody has their own interests and motivations, I guess. That's what makes us unique, right?

[orangemineral]

I-I guess that's true... it's still a little odd to me, though, I guess.

video;

[electivires]

Honestly, things are so odd here it'd surprise me more to come across something normal... you know what I mean?

[orangemineral]

[ She nods a little. ] I see what you mean... I guess some things are just a little underwhelming for me now?

Yeah, the way my life's been going for the past month or so, I would probably barely bat an eyelid if we all, I don't know - switched bodies with each other, or ended up on a planet where gravity worked the other way.
