Thou’rt mine father’s pupil?
teehee… Thou!? Father has stooped to such lowness…
Beasts have met their end in his training, Thou’rt not fit to behold his true strength, let alone rival it!
Enough with thine lies. Be thou a fraud or concealing something much peculiar from me?
REVEAL TO ME YOUR BLOOD PACT, PUPIL!
*gasp* I'm so sorry, that was an accident, I didn't mean to-
EVENT "NERO FESTIVAL 2022" IS, AS ADVERTISED ON SAID "POSTER", A GATHERING FOR THE PURPOSE OF EXPRESSING THE ABSTRACT CONCEPT OF "BEAUTY" THROUGH ASSORTED BATTLES.
Wait, a poster? Is that what that weird stained paper was?
Show some respect, you four-legged drake. She's expressing her desires.
Don't bother, Ben. I'd bet us winning any fight over her realizing what's an insult.
And I'd bet both over me taking that back, if that's what you were gonna say, Up.
Fine by me. HEY EMPEROR, MIND IF WE STEP IN FOR THE NEXT FIGHT?
Not at all!
*sigh* 〈If someone turned the tree to winter again, I'm-〉
〈Oh.〉
...hmm. 〈Well, the kids should be doing fine right now, maybe I'll go check...whatever this is out.〉
...
G-GYAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!!
BLOOOOOOOOOOOD PAAAACT~!!??!?!? I DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT A BLOOD PACT ALL I KNOW IS THAT YOUR BARBARIAN DAD HAS BEEN SENDING ME TO DEATH'S DOOR AND BACK IN ORDER TO BECOME POWERFUL! AND NOW INSTEAD OF TEACHING ME ANYTHING USEFUL HE'S RUN AWAY TO GO MEET PEOPLE STRONGER THAN ME BECAUSE APPARENTLY I'M NOT ENoooooOUGH FOR HIM!
NOW YOU'RE TELLING ME IN ORDER TO BE REMOTELY ADEQUATE I HAVE TO BE A FREAK LIKE HIM?!?!??? OR LIKE YOOOUUUUUU!????!!?!?!? I'VE HAD ENOUGH NIGHTMARES AS IT IS BECAUSE OF HIM AND I'M SURE YOU JUST TOOK DECADES OFF MY LIFESPAN JUST NOW BUT I DIDN'T COME HERE FOR NOTHING SO DO YOUR WORST!!!!
Maybe I should take it a little easier. I was pretty harsh to Vy, but I meant to say those things to motivate her, not discourage her... Even if I wasn't entirely wong.
Hmmm... I mean, she was still alive. So I'm probably doing something right... Maybe I'm not being strict enough.
Huh. A broken clock...
...Aren't those bad omens? No, it can't be. There's no way, right?
I can worry about that later. Now, how do I go about this...? What's the most professional way to communicate the issue here?
Anyone here know a meanie named Triooooooooooo~?
...
...Trio, huh? ...I happen to know him very well... The question is... Do you?
I'd be willing to tell you what I know... If you're willing to listen.
Interesting.
So... what do you know?
SO BE IT, HUMAN! CURSE THEE!
BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!
You should have seen your own face. I spooked you. I totally spooked you. You looked so stupid
...











...His actions within this realm have evaded me; Truthfully, the most I know of them is that he's here.
...I don't suppose you have any particular reason to discuss him? ...Seeing as you never WERE there for anything that occurred in that universe. It's not as if you just suddenly knew about the guy and were just curious about him.
Well, after all that, the least I can do is be direct. Good thing no one else is here...
...You probably had your own suspicions, based off of my question. But I got word from someone in the 'Balance Conglomerate' that Trio has begun to make his move. He could show up at any time.
I've let almost all the other Reapers know at the Lounge, except for a few. But I thought you'd also deserve the truth, since he seems like a pretty big deal. What you want to do with this knowledge, though... not exactly up to me.
...Whaaaat?
WHAAAAAT!?! THAT'S your idea of a prank!? It wouldn't have been a surprise if I just died back there!... sheesh...
...So as all that other stuff just a lie, too, then? And you're not related to Master?
"Balance Conglomerate"... Can't say I've ever heard of it before.
...I've already got a few people helping in the case... If you're interested in helping them, then you should head for the Bermuda Triangle. An associate of mine just texted me recently that they're heading there to find a "Star Sceptre".
...As for what I'm going to do... Well, I-
I am the owner, yes.
OH! My apologies, uh...
(Hey, Moto, mind turning the lights back on?)
...Well. That ruined the mood of the moment.
Anyway, I think I might just help out in the situation, too, but I'll have to do a few things... Starting with a change in attire. I have no plans on fighting a reality-bending world ender in a tuxedo.
Believe me; Trio already destroyed it all once...
Yarr, here we be, boys! The shores of the very island that houses Crossroads City!
I just hope we find the information we're looking for...
Don't worry, Sarge; I'm sure we'll find EXACTLY what we need!
...
Whatever it is you're trying to pull, I wouldn't try it, if I were you.
