...So. Just looking through things, sounds like we're not the only ones, huh.

[He's in the front hall of his house, and to demonstrate his point, he pushes the camera up to have a good view out the window that looks out in front of the front door, where this woman is patiently standing on the other side.

He then sits back down on a chair he's pulled up in front of the door, because why would he open the door for this woman. It's not like there's a Clefairy at another windowsill giving her a suspicious death glare or anything. His hand goes to his temple, to rub at his eyes a little.]

A few years ago, I dunno if anybody's still around who remembers, but I asked around, what it's like to have a family, 'cause I thought I'd never had one. Heh, wouldn't you know, they were closer than I could've ever imagined my whole life. And I couldn't know.

But even though I...

[He stops himself.]

...How do you deal with that? Suddenly learning that everything you've thought your whole life was a lie, and someone you thought didn't exist was actually always there, just out of sight?

[He shakes his head.]

Ahh, sorry. I probably shouldn't bother anybody with this, huh.

[And this is where he turns off the feed. Gee, though, he said 'we'. Could Sion be having trouble too...?]

[[Depending on how things develop, Sion (

dreamsofahero) might respond to people too.]]

*raaaaiiising an eyebrow*

And just how much say do you really have in that, Ryner?

If I put my foot down, Ferris'll support me, and Vois'll have to listen. I am the king, even if it's only a title.

[are you sure, Ryner...?]

Besides, how much say I have doesn't change how much say you have in Roland.

*yeah, he doesn't look at all convinced here*

No, but you realize there's a reason I'd have to insist on surrender, don't you? If I could, I'd rather avoid all this in the first place, but...

*...but the only way for him to obtain the power he needs to challenge the goddesses is if he is in control of a sufficient portion of the world. Which, of course, is precisely why people like Vois don't trust him; that very power means he's not exactly one of the ordinary humans of the world anymore*

[He sighs. Stubborn as ever.]

I'm still working on getting all of it, y'know. How about you explain it in words she can understand?

[indicating toward Rose, whose ears kind of may have twitched when Ryner called himself a king...]

She wouldn't even know most of what I'm talking about even then, you know.

*because really, Ryner...*

Better she hears it from you than tries to pound what little I know out of me later, right? You know she's gonna.

["Fair?" Okay, now Rose is curious what you boys are talking about.]

Even I don't know all of it, Ryner.

You know more than me.

How much do you know, anyway?

Not much at all. That guy's memories have told me some stuff, but they can be hard to sort out, even when he actually knows stuff that's helpful.

[let's normalize the whole 'merged with half a demon' thing, yup]

I see...

*he'd really rather not waste time explaining more than necessary, but...*

[how is time wasteable, we have tons right now]

What I do know, is this has gone on for half of forever, and nothing ever changes. But now? We're here. That's new, in the grand scheme of things.

Don't ask me how, because I'm still working on it, but if we're here? Why can't we use that?

Well, for one thing, no matter how much we plan here, there's no means to put any of it into motion.

It's still planning we can't do back home.

For as useful as plans made without more information will be.

*he's still skeptical it'll do any good...*

So what, just waste it then?

And here I thought I was the lazy one.

You think I haven't already considered the possibilities, Ryner?

Obviously not enough if you're just dismissing them that easily.

And somehow going over the same thing again will be different?

*sorry, Ryner, he was already in a less than great mood because of this ghost business, so....*

Tell that to the reasons we're stuck in this mess in the first place.

But okay, what do you think we should do then?

Are you even going to listen if I do?

*not that he's in a mood to talk anymore right now anyway, though*

Depends. By 'listen', do you mean 'do what you say without question'? Because if that's what you're going for, then no way. That would only make sense to do if you were some kind of perfect being who can't be wrong, which. You're not. By a long shot.

And if I'm right?

*just... makes an exasperated sigh before turning to walk towards the library*

Maybe some other time.

If you're right, then I'll decide what I'm gonna do based on that.

[but he's not exactly going to stop you...]

*yeah he's not even responding, just closing the door rather firmly behind him :|*
