I wouldn't know. You guys are the first people I recall meeting since I've gotten here.
But it's clear my lack of memories is some kinda oddity. When it comes to how... eh, your guess is as good as mine.
I mean, it's not a given, but it DOES happen especially if you end up frozen for a good while, giving the Void a chance to dissolve your memories before regaining consciousness.
Frankly, I'm almost relieved I don't remember anything. It might just lead to me stressing out even more.
Well Filewalker, I must admit you've made for an interesting guest. So...now that you've awoken, where shall you go now?
Hmm...I'm not su-
Well since you have nowhere to go, maybe you're willing to help me with something?
Well I-
There's someone I want you to meet.
Isn't she beautiful?
She's uh...lovely.
Filewalker, meet my daughter, Princess Salsanderbyte.
Oh! Uh...
...
Filewalker, there is something I need you to do for me.
What is it?...your majesty?
Well...
...
I need you two to go...go...go...find...um...the legendary Galber...galber...
A...Galber..thine?.
Yes! A Galberthine! Yes! You are to take Princess Salsanderbyte out of the kingdom and go locate a Galberthine to complete...complete...her coronation!
!(...)
!
Is there a problem?
...Uh...
Well glad to see there's not. Now, Grandest Vicar, fetch me the...the...
Yes! And quickly!
Wait, but I don't know-
Oh, don't worry, I'm sure you'll find it! My daughter knows what a Galgandertime is, right?
...Yes Father.
...Uh Good.
...
Now that you have everything you need, just walk out that door!
...Oh! Right! The mainframer's eyes. Vicar! Open the door!
Now, now, it's best you hurry! You have only 3 cycles...did I say 3, I meant 10! 10 cycles before she is to be brought back to the ceremony!
OH! AND ONE MORE THING!
If any harm, physical, mental, emotional, anything, is to come to her, you'll wish you remained asleep. My lifelink can pull her back so don't try anything, alright Filewalker?
...Of course. Not a single strike shall reach her.
Good. Good! Now, on your merry way!
Wait, what ab-
...Great. ...Wait, where's-
...
Uh...sorry princess...
...
...Right. Now then...what equipment did he give us?
Hmm...strange. Let's see what else we have...
What's this? Some kinda of map o-
Don't open that.
Understood.
You are to defend that device with your life.
...This must be essential to retrieving the Gal…the thing, correct.
...
Is this okay to touch or...?
...Hmm...how do you activate this...bomb...communicator...what is it?
How do you not know what a compass is?
...I knew that.
Yes?
It is clearly the will of The Fate. I'd so much as thought about how we need someone to protect her and not even a week later that mainframer arrives.
Yes, you could be right. But...there's that word, could. He COULD be some traitor or whatever, in which case Princess Salsanderbyte shall be here in just a few seconds. Or...he COULD be telling the truth. We don't fully know. And that...that's good enough for me. Now then, more rosewine.
...Guardian, something troubles me.
The Mainframers can, for now, be trusted. My father passed on the knowledge of possible allies and threats to me. And as for the Vicar, even with how quickly we did things, I assure you that he and the others believe in the Galberthine Coronation excuse.
No, no it's not that. It's...did you see her face at all?
...No.
She didn't seem like she cared about leaving us behind. She didn't even say bye. She just....
Indeed. But…you know her. In front of her subjects, she can’t afford to act sad. Besides, she knew this was coming and most likely prepared herself for that. …I'm sure she already misses you even now.
Do you really think so?
...Yes. Why wouldn't she? You're her father, the king!
That is true. And despite her obsession with writing, she's certainly more than prepared
…so long as that Filewalker dosen’t screw things up.
Fear not, for even if Filewalker falls, another will surely come to guide her. I will should it come to that point.
And leave me unguarded?
...No of course not my king.
Oh, hey, Pancake Party! I hope you don't mind, fellas, but I'm gonna take us for a detour. Not like we have any solid leads anyway, is it?
Oh yeah! I found a pathway to a rendezvous point for a deal I may have made during my psycho days by first going to Cut-Throat Cove, one of the only legit mostly safe places as a sorta equipment/food getting place. Plus some beers there.
Dunno about this, you guys. I'm more of a waffle person, to be honest. I think.
