11. aimless as ever

[sword_boy]

I think I may have spent a little too much time in the Underground.

It's incredibly quiet down there. Apparently everything down there is still scared of me.On an interesting note, I have a ton of papers from some Ohtori Academy from a previous curse... Everyone apparently has good grades... but the discussion of history is incredibly interesting

Is that so?

[sword_boy]

That is so.

What are you exactly talking about anyway?

[to_turn_away]

The Underground as sparsely populated.

[sword_boy]

Sparse is a loose term. Even a few of the Worm can cause massive damage. An actual number would be better.

I don't know really. It just seems much more that way since I've been down there lately.

[to_turn_away]

I wasn't referring to the damage. I was referring to a general populace of "sparse."

And you've no idea?

[sword_boy]

I wasn't referring to the damage either. I said that only a "sparse" population of a few Worm from my world, could easily cause mass damage.

Yes. I have no idea why after my first trip, the Underground has been completely barren for me.

[to_turn_away]

Heh. Interesting how much interpretation can come from the word "sparse."

I will pay a visit as well.

[sword_boy]

Language can be a strange thing.

The warnings say if you can't defend yourself, limit your time down there to a minimum, and only stay in certain well-traveled areas.

...I personally don't get these warnings... but someone must have created them for a reason.

[to_turn_away]

So you ventured to areas stated otherwise?

[sword_boy]

If I don't let the Worm stop me in my path, then why would I let some so called beasts stand in my way.

There is nothing worse than the Worm, so why should I be afraid of anything less than the Worm, when I am not afraid of the Worm to begin with.

[to_turn_away]

Heh!

What is so significant about this so-called "Worm"?

[sword_boy]

The Worm are a terrible race of creatures. They arrived on my world's Earth in a meteor which destroyed the city of Shibuya 7 years ago. They are actively committing genocide to make our planet theirs.

While alien, they have shapeshifting properties to the point that not only can they take the appearance of someone but the memories and identity of that person. Sometimes you can't tell who's a Worm at all.

Everything else is minute compared to the Worm.

[to_turn_away]

And how will you rid your planet of these Worms?

[sword_boy]

Well we are fighting a war in my world...

The remaining Riders in my world are still fighting. Once I can return to my world, I will return to fighting them.

The only way to really rid them is to attack them directly.

[to_turn_away]

I see. As with most things.

[sword_boy]

You act surprised? What would you suggest? Talking with them?

They have made it very clear that they want us dead.
