It's been awhile since I made a network post, hasn't it? [He laughs softly, holding his head in his hand.] And there's a new batch of people coming in already. Looks like the Core is, once again, back in business

The god destroyed everything, including himself, and it was peaceful again.

To each his own idée fixes, Tenma, but one might wonder why you are so infatuated with troubling allegory of devils, and why you like the name Johan for your monsters.

We'll have to find a new diner, they might be getting sick of me. We should support newcomer businesses, too- So how do you feel about Cat's Eye Bistro?

[surgicalshot]

Unfortunately, I didn't come up with the stories. I just type them out onto the NV. When you say destroyed everything, do you really mean everything, or just the things he created?

[Filter]

You know, I don't think I've been there yet, so I'm all for it. Supporting Newcomer businesses is always a good thing, right?

[gaveherwings]

Who came up with the stories, then, and why do you retell them?

I mean destroying everything, including himself. Would it be easier to shatter the mirror? Perhaps, but only for a time.

[Filter]

It's probably lighter fare, as well.

[surgicalshot]

It's hard to explain. But the stories were by a man who went under different pseudonyms, and wrote several of them.

He'd still have to live with the knowledge that he was a monster, if he just broke the mirror.

[Filter]

No more fattening hash browns?

[gaveherwings]

Then you linked them by the themes and names, Otto, Hans, Tomas, Johan?

That's right. There's no escaping what you come to know.

[Filter]

I've never cared for them. But I do go there with Shiroe, once weekly, and with Skye staff on and off.

[surgicalshot]

Those names are usual for me, though. German names, after all, if I'm being honest.

No, there isn't, is there.

[Filter]

That's a lot of eating out.

[gaveherwings]

You still haven't quite explained why.

[Filter]

I don't cook so well.

[surgicalshot]

I don't think I can.

[Filter]

Maybe for the holidays I'll buy you some cookbooks!

[gaveherwings]

Why not?

[Filter]

That isn't really necessary.

[surgicalshot]

It might take too long.

[Filter]

Why not?

[gaveherwings]

If you keep telling stories, people get curious.

[Filter]

If I want to find something to make, I can just search it. I just don't cook much.

[surgicalshot]

That's... well, that's okay. They can be curious all they want. I don't mind.

[Filter]

I've heard cooking is better for you, instead of eating out. But I eat out a lot too, so. I guess I can't say much.

[gaveherwings]

Then what is the purpose?

[Filter]

And we say a full night's sleep is healthy for us too, but doctors are the world's finest hypocrites.

[surgicalshot]

It's.... it's really complicated, and I can't go into it.

[Filter]

At least we don't smoke.

[gaveherwings]

As you wish, then.

[Filter]

...Pyke does. But he's never really followed much code to begin with.

[surgicalshot]

He's the head of Skye, right? Maybe he feels no one expects as much from him when it comes to being a hypocrite.
