You're asking me?

[Mad's giving Kamille a wtf'd look.]

I've got NO goddamn fucking idea! I mean... I want to be a big damn hero... but after that.. or hell...even if I can't get there. I got fucking nothing.

[blinks. That's...]

... You're in the same boat as me, then? I thought I had an idea as to what I wanted, but all I was doing was just... flailing about uselessly. I wasn't living... not really. Just existing until I can find myself a calling.

[spoilers: He hasn't found it yet either]

You think that's bad? Try spending several years of your life behind a lie with no one having your back.

[Mad lets out a bitter chuckle.]

That boat sucks dude. It's full of holes, the metal's rusting, the wood's got termites and to top it the fucking off, even the rats are fucking abandoning ship.

... I think my boat burned up on re-entry. [Spacenoid logic, there.]

... You're the girl who's picture is on the 'do not enter' sign of the kitchen door, right? Tsukasa usually isn't so rough on people who want to use it. How'd you manage that?

I... uh... its...

[Flashbacks. Bread. Check, Vegetables and meat? Check. Sauces and Cheese! Check! INTO THE MICROWAVE! And just in case its not filling enough, lets open up a can of soup! Inside it goes! Shut the door, turn it on and - is it supposed to be sparking like that? What's with the smoke and- HOLY SHIT! DUCK AND COVER!!!]

I just kinda made a mess...

[More Flashbacks! OH GOD! HOW IS IT MOVING - ITS GOT A SPATULA! HOLY FUUUC- OW! MY ANKLE!!]

I think I might've pissed him off.

[whistles.] Sounds like quite the mess. I'm a fair hand in the kitchen, though, so if you need anything, I'd be more than willing to help you out.

[She grins a little at that.]

Yeah.. I wouldn't mind the help... 'd be good to learn stuff again.

[KAMILLE! THIS IS A BAD IDEA! A VERY BAD IDEA! DON'T DO IT!]

[Pressure-? OH GOD WHAT IS HE SEEING!? HE CANNOT COMPREHEND THE FORM OF THE VISIONS HE'S WITNESSING!]

[the video cuts out for a moment... then-]

Ah, sorry about that. I think the Festum assimilation hit me harder than I thought. [what-] Sure, I'm more than willing to instruct you, if that's what you want. [For some reason he feels hazmat suits should be on hand...]

Wait..Festum what?

[Mad's only heard things about them. She's never encountered them at all.]

Aliens. Not the fun, sociable ones like Julia or Dita, either. Giants of gold, they attack with black holes primarily--yes, I realize that sounds ludicrous, but it's the truth--and they ask you a certain question via telepathy: 'Are you there?'

Never answer back if you don't want to chance losing your life. Me, Alessandra, Hana, we all fought these things. I don't know what happened with Alessandra, but I know Hana answered, and she almost lost her mind because of it.

I'm a special case. As an empath, if my emotions run too high, I run greater risk of assimilation in the presence of especially powerful Festum. [take a look, Mad, see the red flecks in his eyes?] These are a sign of how close I was to losing myself.

[JESUS YAMATO HOW HORRIFYING!]

Gah- What.. the fuck... How the- what the...

What kind of alien would FUCKING NEED TO USE BLACK HOLES TO LIVE AND PULL SHIT LIKE THAT!?

The theory I have going right now is that while the Festum are typically of a hive mind, those who can attain singularity from the hive become some sort of leader figure. I've met one, and heard of another.

The one I never met actually gave one of our own the tools to fight the one I met on even grounds. Then the one I met, Idun, ATE the other one, or so the story goes.

So the one left is the reason why the Festum as a whole want to kill us all. [Yup. Ain't that fun?]

Oh..eck...... So... we just have to beat the fuck up out of this Idun thing right?

[Mad blinks... something was weird though..]

What happens if they don't have one of those leader things? Hell.. what do we do with them after?

See, that's the thing: I don't know if anything about the festum with individuality I just said is actually correct outside of the facts like Idun's name and what happened when we encountered it. Hell, destroying Idun could make it worse for all I know. It's not like being nearly assimilated actually teaches you anything about the Festum as a whole.

Well I'll tell you one thing....

I'm not gonna make the same fuck up that you did that's for sure!

[She gives Kamille a wry grin.]

No red stuff in my eyes thank YOU very much.
