- Infernal device...

[The feed starts with difficulties, a bit of white noise and no image before it finally connects, showing Ikki fumbling with the device and obviously having no idea how to make it work. When it seem to him that it's working he finally leaves the object rest a bit.]Hn, seems I've figured how to make this thing work finally, now

2009 where im from bro
and yeah ive noticed
my abilities are sealed and whats worse i cant even open my damn sylladex
gotta do all this shit the hard way

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

[Ikki doesn't do text, mostly because asking him to have figured how to type on the phone is a b it too much. So he replies in audio, however he doesn't mind the text, or the weird way of typing, it's not as if he's a grammar and spelling fan after all.]

The XXI century then, not good but it's not too far in time yet.

You can't open... [Wait a second, he's going to check his own pandora box...] I don't know what a sylladex is, but my pandora box is opening without problems. Not that it serves of anything as it is now.

I suppose whoever brought us here wants to be sure we entertain them completely.

ok let me try and put this so you can understand
a sylladex is an inventory type of system
youve got two decks of cards
one for regular shit and one for your weapons
anything you pick up is automatically transferred to your sylladex
what modus you have installed is the method shits organized and how you get it out
and each modus has its own settings that can be personalized for easier use
now think about that
used to always having that at my disposal and then bam
having to carry shit without it
pain in the ass man

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

[Well, that's quite technical sounding and he doesn't really get all of it, but he does get the idea and understand it.]

A huge pain in the ass, if you ask me. I suppose I'm kind of in the same boat, I may be used to carry things around but I usually I could just summon my Cloth even if I wasn't carrying it. Doubt it will work now.

I take this has never happened before to you, has it? Your sylladex and other abilities being locked.

[neverhero]

ive had my syalldex for as long as i could walk
never once had any problems with it
ok well
not problems where i couldnt get into it at least
and the knight of time doesnt just loose time
shit dont work like that
id say theres serious reason for concern here
whatever brought us here doesnt want us to be able to fight properly

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

Agreed.

It makes one wonder what they don't want us to fight against, besides themselves.

[As far as Ikki knows, there could be thousands of monsters or enemies or whatever outside past the snow barrier.]

[neverhero]

think of it this way maybe
put a bunch of dudes in a confined space
with all those egos and flared tempers
whats gonna happen
the other possibility would be ill intent
but given this whole love connection bullshit
somehow i dont think its too malicious yet

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

You don't think so... I can't say the same, it the love connection bullshit that makes me expect the worst.

Sealing our powers may make any fight that breaks off less damaging that it could be, but it won't stop them. And it may be even worse, I'm used to fight with my powers, but I'm not sure I can contain my physical strength as well as I did without them.

[And he still has a lot of physical strength, the joys of saints having to train their bodies first and then their minds.]

[neverhero]

maybe theyre not that smart
anyways as of right now were grasping in the dark
blind as fuckin bats here
theres really not much we can do until we can get out of this building
do a little exploring of the area and shit to see if theres clues

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

Do you expect there to be anything else besides ruins?

[Because what they have seen so far doesn't paint the outside very well.]

text;

[neverhero]

even ruins can tell a story bro
what weve got to work with inside here aint much
but i bet theres gotta be something telling out there

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

Hn, as you yourself have said it, we don't have much wot work with inside here. So it won't take much for the outside to be more telling and useful. At worst we could figure out the time we are in, maybe the place as well if there are signs or anything we can identify as writing.

[And thus as language.]

text;

[neverhero]

exactly
way to answer your own question there too
theres always something if you look hard enough
and know what your looking for i guess
i mean holy shit
i went through enough side quests involving ruins ill be seeing shit in my nightmares
right up there with
nevermind
anyways yeah
after doing so many puzzles and shit with ruins you tend to know what to look for

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

Do you have experience with being sent to places you don't know then?

I suppose I just don't have experience with ruins and shit like that. If I think about it, everything has tended to be quite straight forward until now for me.

[Always charging forward, no much need to explore or investigate.]

text;

[neverhero]

dude i dont even know the meaning of straight forward anymore
other places yeah technically
see me and my friends played this game
which may have kinda brought on the destruction of our planet
but in the process we were sent to this place called the medium and given our own planets to explore
filled with quests and side quests and all that shit
on top of that i got landed with the title knight of time
meaning time is my bitch
or was
what was one day to them was like at least three days for me
i wasnt really keeping track
pile that on with seeing other timeline versions of me dead left and right
yeah
im used to weird shit
this place is tame compared to where i came from

[Audio]

[santodifenice]

[Okay, Ikki would be amused by all that if it wasn't for the part of it bringing on the destruction of their planet.]

Your planet was destroyed because you played a game? Did you lose?

[Dave said a lot of things worth to answer, though, so Ikki continues a bit more.]

You could see other timelines? Care to tell me more about that?
