summonerd | i just wanna know: who broke it?

[Wow! Sheena hates this so much!

She doesn't react to the outstretched hand right away, still trying to hunt down any sign that he does remember and is just fucking with her. But there's nothing there except for that definitely-fake smile, and she lets out the breath she'd been holding in a sigh, gaze dropping as she takes his hand to shake it.]

... alright. Nice to meet you, too. [Her voice is quieter now, a little more resigned, and the misery that she half-manages to keep off her face is nowhere near as restrained in their resonance, a soft wave that has no business threatening to overwhelm her as much as it does. But it's fine, really. It's fine. Zelos is alive, and that's more than enough for now, even if he doesn't know her. Maybe it'll come back to him with time. Maybe the others will spark his memories, once they can get back home.

She claps her hands together, pushes a smile onto her face that she's not remotely feeling.] So! Ready to get going?

[Oh, worm? That miserable feeling floating in Sheena's ether as she definitely ignores it is something Zelos can relate to, at least. He grins at her as they shake hands, then sets his hands on his hips, ready to turn around and ignore Sheena for the rest of the day until--

He's halfway through that train of thought before Sheena's words run right in front of them, causing them to crash and stop. Zelos turns to look at her again, one eyebrow raised and not even trying to keep the confusion in his expression a secret. Get going? Is she really that much of a newbie at this? Did they set him up with a civilian?

This is so ridiculous that Zelos starts to smirk.] "Going where, hon? Weren't you told? This is the part where we sit down, all nice and pretty, and wait for further instructions."

[Wow, that's the first reaction she's gotten out of him that felt real. Sheena huffs, tucks an errant lock of her hair behind an ear.]

Do you seriously want to stay here? All the stuff I could find in the libraries here about Aegises was kind of outdated, but... it sounded pretty bad. [She pauses for a moment to think about it, escape plans running through her head. There hadn't been that many helpful layouts of the castle to be found, but she has some idea of it, at least.] Unless you think they're going to expect us to try and escape right away?

[Zelos

Stares

He stares at Sheena, eyes slowly widening as the words she's just said wash over him like what he imagines a cold, cold ocean wave must feel like. The word 'escape' in particular loops itself in his mind like a dying bird's manic song. Escape. Escape, escape, escape. Sheena wants to escape. Sheena, his driver, wants to escape.

What the fuck?

Slack-jawed and cold from head to toe, ether hiccuping in his veins, Zelos begins to feel something close to panic bubble in his core. Escape. Sheena wants to escape. He takes a step back, away from her. Sheena wants to escape. The fact that he can't feel any maliciousness in their emotional link--which Zelos thinks she probably wouldn't have been able to hide anyway, novice as she seems to be, open book that she's been--leaves him breathless, words dying on his tongue until he swallows down the thick dread that's currently clutching at his throat.]

"Excuse me?"

[Oh, ow. Sheena hadn't been expecting that dramatic of a reaction just from asking if he wanted to stay, and it's enough to make her wince, to rest one hand loosely on her collarbone where the panic and dread feels like it's coming from. She's going to have to ask him later about just how closely awakening him had left them tied together.]

... You don't want to stay, right?

[There's nothing keeping him here if he doesn't want to be, that she knows of. Unless-- oh. She tilts her head, thoughtfully.] Is it Seles? We could bring her too, if it's because they're threatening her.

[No, Sheena, he doesn't want to be here. To be honest with you, he's kind of tired of being alive in the first place, tired of being just a perfect little weapon born to bring nothing but destruction of the world as we know it.

Zelos sets a hand on his crystal, mirroring Sheena. She's... really dead-set on this, isn't she? He gets the feeling that she's not going to listen to him if he protests, excuses already coming to him each second like the ticking of a clock, but then what she says next gives him pause. He tilts his head, frowns, and asks,]

"Who's Seles?"

[Oh, this is all just so fucked. Sheena realizes her mistake too late, but the idea of Zelos not even knowing his sister hurts more than him forgetting about her.]

... Guess you don't remember her either, huh. Sorry. Probably not, then.

[That took all the wind out of her sails, and it takes her a moment to get it back. She stretches out a hand toward him, palm up.] Well, what do you say?

[Sheena extends her palm to to the Aegis, his first instinct is to step away. Hand still on his crystal, confusion making way to apprehension and fear, Zelos glares at his driver. In just the span of a few minutes she's come into his world, awakened him, and now claims to want to escape with him on tow. As if he could escape. As if life were that easy. With the way the situation has escalated, the fact that she's giving him a choice in the matter feels more like mockery than sincerity, and it's pissing him off.

He grits his teeth.] "I say I want to know just who the fuck you think you are to come here and demand I leave with you," [is what he says, words hot like that despairing fire that still burns in his gut. He doesn't bother to snuff it out for her, lets all of his noxious smoke escape his lips in a growl.] "Escape? What the hell are you talking about? Don't you realize who--what I am?"

[...okay. That's fair. If she were in a situation like this without even her memories she'd want explanations, too. Sheena takes a deep breath before she starts to explain, letting her hand rest back at her side.]

Alright. I'm from... another world, I think. The places seem like they're the same, and some of the people are too, but it's definitely not the one I came from originally. [Sheena wonders for a second if this isn't the Zelos she knows at all -- but she'd seen the princess once, from a distance, and she'd been a child. This world's Zelos couldn't be this old.]

One of the books I found here said that the Aegis's power could theoretically transcend space and time. I was just planning on getting ahold of it and using its power to get home, but-- [she breaks off, more than a little guilt on her face.] None of the books I found said anything about the Aegis being a person. So I didn't exactly plan on getting the both of us out of here, but I'm not gonna just leave you.

[Oh... Somehow, even though he'd already guessed that was the case, being told that even in academic papers he's not really referred to as a person still manages to hurt. Zelos presses his lips into a fine line, breathing in to try and stabilize that hurt and anger into something more manageable.

The pathetic feeling of betrayal leaves him soon, though, when he considers her words of another world and his power. Zelos has read about the original Aegises, those whom he was based on, and knows that their power had been a mighty, terrifying beast to witness. When he thinks of that then Sheena's nonsensical claim to be from another world doesn't seem too far-fetched, seeing how Mithos and Martel supposedly helped create the world, but for some reason he still finds it in himself to doubt her. Because based on that alone, it's unsurprising--and a little disappointing, if he's honest--when Sheena's goals turn out to be selfish in nature.

Of course she'd want that power for herself--she's human. That's what humans think of the Aegises. That they're power they can control.

Sheena's no exception, huh? Though, her irritatingly simplistic idea of how things work here sure is something else. What an infuriatingly insulting attempt at a power-grab.] "Right. So what you're saying is that you just dimension hopped and now want my help in getting back home, and your way of going about it is to infiltrate the castle and kidnap me." [He grins, tight and cruel, and laughs.] "I'll give you props on the creative work of your cover story, at least. That's so cute." [Pause, shrug.] "Alright, I'll bite. Let's pretend I believe this crap. What happens now? A hundred years of the tightest security in the planet, and you really think you can escape Tethe'alla's borders with their Aegis on tow? Just like that?"

Edited 2019-03-07 15:18 (UTC)

[He really never does change, huh. Sheena's trying not to lose her patience with him, amnesiac as he is, but Zelos is nothing if not great at getting under her skin. She even stamps her foot a little bit.]

It's not a cover story! I'm telling the truth! We're connected or whatever, right? So you should be able to tell that I'm not lying. And it's not kidnapping if you want to go!

[... Maybe that's how possession works and not whatever this is. Still! It's not like she has any experience with this. Either way, it's having somebody else in your head. She pauses, though, gives a little actual thought to his second point. It's true that she doesn't have her connections to the summon spirits, or the rest of their friends here, but it's not like either of them are defenseless.

He remembers how to fight, right? Sure he does. It'll be fine.]

Sure, just like that. They'll never be able to track us once we get out of the city. And besides, if you have anywhere near that kind of power, what're they gonna do to stop us? [She offers him a wry smile.]

[Something in her words makes him bristle a little, but the sensation is cold and numb, piercing like a blade in his core.] "Oh, I think you're underestimating the lengths Tethe'alla will go to keep me in their possession, honey. You're not even going to last a day carting me around with an entire militia after you."

[Truthfully, Zelos isn't really sure if they would throw the entire militia after her, nor is he so sure that Sheena won't be able to hold her ground, especially if they add his sword and power to the mix, but... something about the idea still terrifies him. He hasn't summoned his sword in years, hasn't even been in a proper battle before in his life. He could get himself killed out there, and then what happens to him when his crystal's taken into custody again, after betraying the country? It just terrifies him. There is too much at risk here.

Anxieties clicking against the glass of his core crystal, Zelos takes a step back and waves a hand in the air, scoffing, fuming at Sheena.] "Besides, even if we did make it out of here alive... where the fuck would we go?" [He glares.] "Why should I trust you?"

[Tick tick tick.]

Edited 2019-03-08 03:24 (UTC)

["Why should I trust you?" It hits her right in the chest, a sharp pang that has no business hurting as much as it should. Of course he doesn't. He never really did, did he? Maybe if he had, he wouldn't have--

Alright. Not now, Sheena. The grief just overwhelms her for a moment, too much to handle. She curls one hand into a loose fist, digging her fingernails into her palm to distract her.]

... It's a ways away, but there's a hidden village to the east, called Mizuho. If I explain things to them, they'll help us. Or, if you want, we could try right away to go back to my world. You'd be safe there. Our friends wouldn't let anyone make you do anything you don't want to, either.

[The question's harder than she would have expected it to be to answer. It takes her a second.] I just-- you're my friend, okay? I don't want you to be trapped, or made to do anything. [Another pause, but... she may as well be bare her heart for this, right? Even if it's not something she ever would have told him before.] ... I don't want to lose you again.

Edited (ADDS A WORD IMMEDIATELY REMOVES IT) 2019-03-08 04:32 (UTC)

[He knows about Mizuho. He's heard about it before, at least, knows the rumours of their people being experts at espionage and whatnot. It's one of the first things anyone learns in the corrupt business of politics. Why Mizuho would send an agent over to kidnap him eludes him completely, but it should make do for a hiding place if they manage to escape, he guesses. Sure, why not.

But that's not what he's focused on at the moment.

Sheena's grief is sharp and echoing in their link, washing over Zelos like a gentle, yet strong wave. She sounds so... defeated. Small. Like she's reaching a limit and yet won't allow herself to do it, or she doesn't even know that she's reaching it in the first place. "I don't want to lose you again," come her words, and without even thinking about it Zelos feels himself relax, shoulders drooping, breath leaving him in a slow exhale. "Again," she said. She seems so dead-set on some sort of bond between them, but Zelos has no idea what's going on here, and that honest to god scares him. Is there something here that he's missing? He's pretty sure he's never met this girl before in his life. And even if he's famous and well-known throughout the country, she has no right to be so friendly and familiar with him at all. Who the hell is she?

What does she know, that he doesn't? Why does she insist he give her something he genuinely cannot give?

Zelos takes a deep breath. Holds it. Counts in multiples of seven, each number punctuated like pieces of a finality in a decision he doesn't like, could never like, but thinks is necessary. They're not going to get anywhere like this--they need to bridge the gap. And that means...]

"Put your hand on my core crystal," [he demands. If she's going to order him around, to dangle freedom in front of his face like that, then he gets to be hostile right back. Zelos squints.] "I need to check something."

[Well, that's... not what she expected. If this is a setup for some pervy joke she's going to punch him in the face. She is.]

Huh? Alright, I guess. [She closes the distance between them with a step, reaches out with only a little hesitance to place her hand onto his crystal, three fingers pressed gently to the warm crystal. She glances up at him as she does, quizzical.] Like this?

[Once she's made contact with his crystal Zelos shudders, then immediately reaches up for her wrist and holds her in place.]

"Don't think about anything," [he orders, closing his eyes as ether gathers at his fingertips, as he starts to push his conscious into an abstraction that will align with Sheena's ancient-feeling-ether, her foreign port.

He needs her to stay a focused and willing receptor for this to work. Newbie as she is, maybe Sheena will at least be capable of doing that, even if it's bound to be overwhelming. A memory transfer is a two-way road, after all, but maybe if he's careful he can keep his own information highway selective so as to not saturate her. So shyly, slowly, Zelos' ether presses at their link until he's sunken his conscious into it, until he's binding his and Sheena's mindspaces in a lesser, waking version of the Aegis dreamspace he can manipulate to his own will.

It's very similar to the blade network at first, that feeling like sinking into water, but there's no gentle hum of multiple lanes of information that surrounds him. There's only a steady, thumping beat around him, engulfing him--a human heart. Zelos opens his eyes, blinks away the darkness of their connection as he approaches a light, and--

He sees himself.

Lying on the floor, covered in a red liquid (but that's wrong, his ether is orange, and even if he were to bleed it wouldn't be liquefied at all because he's not a flesh eater, he's not--) and laughing like it's nothing, like it's triumph, his mirror image slowly expires before his eyes. Dread and grief stab into him deep enough to draw out more misery than he's ever felt before in his life. Slowly Zelos feels himself move, shaky and unsteady steps bringing him closer to the scene, and when a hand reaches forward towards his dying form he sees purple fabrics instead of black.

The mirror Zelos is speaking, but the Aegis can't hear his words. Weakness sprouts where anger dies, and Zelos feels himself collapse to his knees. Breathe, breathe. Just breathe. Focusing all of his attention to his other's lips, Zelos puts all his processing power in reading what he says, seeking context in any way, looking for information to parse--]

"To tell you the truth, I was getting pretty tired of living anyway."

[The images shut away in a bright flash of white light when he abruptly opens his eyes. The connection drops, leaving behind static in his ears as Zelos lets go of Sheena, as he stumbles backwards until his back hits the wall. Absently, vaguely, over the taste of static on his own tongue, Zelos wonders what Sheena saw in their connection, and if it was nearly as horrifying as this was for him.

Because, this? What... what the fuck.]

[Sheena closes her eyes as well, dutifully tries to keep her mind blank as he does whatever it is he's trying to do. It's disorienting, letting someone in like this, but she doesn't fight it, sinking down into the place where their minds meet. There's a faint impression of something orange behind her eyes, a distant glow, but it passes quickly as the world fades down to black. When it comes back up...

She's in some kind of cylinder, just barely large enough not to set off claustrophobia in and of itself but the walls looming far too close anyway. There are wires under her skin, like one of those compatibility experiments for summoning they'd run on her back at the research academy, but the bands holding her arms down are new and stifling. She looks down at her bound arms, struck by the barely-luminescent lines down them more than any of the other differences from what she would have expected to see.

"Beginning test fire," a voice says from somewhere outside the cylinder, muffled, and the world goes white, nothing left but the faintest outlines of objects in her vision. She's screaming, but it's not her voice - beyond it, distantly, she can just make out more voices, the vibration of the pod shaking as someone bangs at the controls on the outside. All she can do is watch in numb horror, and wait for it to end, but it's gone on so long--

And then something snaps, so far away she shouldn't have any awareness of it from here, and the world evens out until even the faintest details are gone and nothing remains but white streaked with orange. Her eyes fly open.

Sheena feels like she's rooted in place, her hand not even falling from its position as he lets go and stumbles back. Her other hand comes up to cover her mouth, struck numb with horror.]

What was th-- [Goddess, no, talking was a mistake. She feels like she's gonna be sick. She shakes her head and swallows hard, squats down where she stands in an attempt to not throw up all over the nice floors of the castle.]

[Zelos Wilder committed suicide.

He doesn't know why this fact is so clear to him when he'd barely even seen his mirror self's death in the memory, but context is context, and through Sheena's grief and after quickly analyzing every other interaction between them, the Aegis asserts this one fact as a truth. Zelos Wilder committed suicide. Sheena saw him die, struck him down herself, and if it weren't for his other self's admission to wanting the outcome then Zelos would probably be more frightened of his driver than he is. He should be horrified. He should probably be more upset about having seen himself die, but...

There's a certain envy in his chest at the memory of the man bleeding on the floor, laugh victorious as he'd achieved a goal that the Aegis knows he will never be able to chase after. Death, to a blade, is a temporary and fleeting thing, a never-ending spiral of life and death that they find themselves trapped in, where only regular blades have the blessing to forget while Aegises are cursed to remember each and every life, and all the pain they're put through. Thinking of it this way, then Zelos can't find it in himself to blame his mirror for his choice--Zelos is so tired. If he could, he would've done the same.

Standing on his spot by the wall, one hand on his crystal, Zelos looks up to regard his driver and finds her squatting, a sickened wisp of a feeling floating up the shores of his subconscious. He grits his teeth, exhales. Tries to stop shaking. Whatever Sheena saw, it couldn't have been anything good if she's feeling this disturbed. He's unsurprised--his life is shit. Vaguely, absently, Zelos feels pity for her, and then shame; sorry, Sheena. He's unfortunately always pretty messed up, both in your world and now in this one you find yourself stuck in.

Right... alternate universes. Ah--just the thought of that subject manages to wind him completely. After seeing that mess, with the image of his own dying gaze staring right through him stuck to his mind's eye, Zelos is suddenly not quite sure if he doesn't believe her anymore. Something burns in his eyes. He clears his throat. Zelos wants to say something, anything, aches to get back to having control of the situation, but nothing comes to him, words suddenly, completely lost to the winds together with the bravado he'd once held close. He feels small. He feels lost.

What happens now?]

Edited 2019-03-08 17:39 (UTC)

[What the hell was that? She'd seen the mentions of the cannons in what she'd read, hadn't liked the comparisons to the mana cannon's usage during the ancient war, but the reality of it - a mana cannon powered by one person's pain and suffering - is so much worse. Sheena leans her head forward, tenting her hands behind it and pressing down to get the nausea under control. This is awful. She's going to find whoever did that to Zelos and tear them apart with her bare hands.

The anger helps, gives her something else to focus on, and she uses it to pull herself out, unfolding slowly from her curled position as she gets to her feet, only a little shaky. Sheena looks up to catch his eye, to say-- something, but the lost look on his face kills her words before she even starts to put them together. She's not sure she's ever seen Zelos look so vulnerable, and it frightens her a little. Did he see that too, or something from her memories, instead? Neither of those options sound great right now, not with what she's had on her mind.

The way his fear mingles with her own reminds her that they're linked now, though, and she tentatively tries to push something better his way. It's not much, shaken and inexperienced with resonance as she is, just a cloud of "I won't let that happen again" and attempted comfort, but it's a start, she thinks, as she tries to couple it with a smile that's too hesitant and shaky to be as encouraging as she wanted it to be. Maybe. Hopefully.]

[Well, this is fucked! Sheena makes quite a pathetic attempt at comforting him, all tight and shaky, and the only thing that comes to Zelos' mind through the haze is the observation that she's picked up on resonance way too fast for a newbie. Zelos would be proud of her, but then the implications of what that means slam into him full-force all of a sudden and leave him breathless, eyes widening just a bit as her protectiveness reaches him.

Just like that everything snaps back in place. Oh, Architect. Okay; take a deep breath, hold it, release. Tick tick tick tick, comes an echo of anxiety crawling up Zelos' spine through the wall, a whisper and reminder of the situation at hand.

Shit, shit, shit--

Oh.

So far, through their conversation, the ether in the air has been engulfed in a constant, low hum of inactivity, something that's quiet and private as they worked through... everything. Through whatever the fuck this is. As an Aegis, Zelos can feel disturbances in atmospheric ether like they're ripples in water from within quite large a radius of distance around himself, so when something suddenly enters that radius, pushing the calm around and disrupting it all in a steady rhythm of footsteps in the hall--

Zelos tenses. Right hand still on his crystal he pushes himself off the wall, eyes snapping off Sheena to rest on the door, and clenches his free hand into a fist.]

"Someone's coming."

[Zelos's words snap Sheena back from the frankly weird and uncomfortable place her thoughts have taken her two, at least for the moment. Escaping the castle sounds much easier than working through any of this, anyway.]

Shit. [she says, takes a few steps towards him and away from the door so she's at his side, though there's still a gap between them. They should look like a united front, at least. She shoots him a sidelong look, trying to decide what the plan is.] What do you think? [Stay? Run? It's probably not the best idea to murder their way through the castle, but Sheena's more than up to it right about now.]

[Sheena steps towards him, stands by his side, and Zelos doesn't know what to do. Eyes firmly on the door, that ether signal getting closer and closer, the disturbing rhythm of anxiety and fear in his ether grows and grows and grows like a deranged drum beating to a desperate song of forlorn hope. What do they do now? Does he leave with her, putting his trust on a human who killed him in another universe, who wants to use his power for her own selfish gain? Or does he stay, put himself at the mercy of those who created him after they find out he's been conspiring with his new driver?

Tick, tick, tick, tick, goes the rhythm in his veins like a skipped heartbeat, like a doomsday clock.

He isn't sure.

In the end he simply scoffs at himself.] "It's up to you, I guess," [he says through a grin, ether roaring in his ears, the tick tick tick tick still so loud over his own voice.] "You're the driver."

[She stares at him for a moment, the approaching footsteps getting louder in her ears, and then seemingly makes her decision, giving him a nod. That's not the most encouraging she's ever heard him, but it's more than enough for her right now, furious on his behalf as she is.]

Okay. Stay there. Act like you don't see me.

[She pads her way over behind the door, her posture transforming to something much more battle-ready as her steps shift from normal to ninja-silent. She reaches into the hidden pocket of her sash to pull out a knife. They didn't even bother searching her properly before they let her in. Sloppy.

The door creaks open, to reveal someone clad in a well-tailored suit. She blinks, clearly not having expected to find the Aegis seemingly alone when he'd just begged off to have time to get to know his new driver. "Where's your d--" she starts as her eyes shift around the room, only to be cut off by a knife to her throat and a surprisingly iron-tight grip on her arm.]

Don't scream. [Sheena advises her, gaze sharp. The woman swallows against the knife, eyes wide but not resisting.] What's the quickest route out of the castle grounds from here?

[The woman laughs, humorless, even unable to see her assailant's face as she currently is. "You expect me to help you steal government property? You're awfully brazen for a--"

She doesn't finish the thought, or any other, as Sheena's whole face goes dark with rage and the knife cuts deep into the woman's throat. She gurgles, choking on blood, far too loud for Sheena's liking - shit, shit, people are definitely going to hear this if anyone else is nearby, can Zelos tell if there is? - as she dies, bright blood spraying from arteries as she goes down. Sheena grunts, pulls the knife free so she can use both hands to catch the corpse and pull it to rest out of sight where she'd been hiding. It won't do anything for the bloodstain, but if anyone else comes in here they're fucked anyway. She wipes the knife off on that fancy suit, readjusts her grip on it as she straightens to look at Zelos.]

Okay, let's go. Just-- stay close to me, and be ready to run if anyone sees us.

[What she's seen so far, and the bits of floorplan she'd managed to find, had looked enough like the Meltokio Castle she knew that she's pretty sure she can find a way out. Probably. If she has to kill a few more, she can do that.]

[Zelos doesn't have to be told twice to act; as soon as the ether signal is staring them right in the face, he fixes his usual mask back in place and sets his hands on his hips. He smiles, casual. Manages to keep the farce almost flawlessly for the most part, though when the door finally opens and he makes eye contact with one of his caretakers, Zelos feels a faint hiccup of terror bubble up his throat before he swallows it down and hums a greeting for her instead, acting the part, painting himself as the living decoy Sheena wants him to be.

And then it happens.

It's very fast, a little too fast, the way Sheena just springs up and puts a knife to the woman's throat. Almost like she's done this already before. Zelos barely has any time to react, but he can't do anything further than acting on the sharp surprise that pushes him forward as if he could do something about all of this anyway. He opens his mouth to say something, whatever, but by then Sheena has already plunged the knife into the woman's throat, and whatever words Zelos was going to say die on his tongue as he raises an arm to cover himself from the spray of blood that splashes on him.

His first thought is more along the lines of 'fucking hell, human blood is disgusting'. His second thought is somewhere else, wondering about the implications of Sheena fucking murdering a government official in cold blood, about sealing Zelos' fate. Stay or leave, Sheena offered. Zelos looks back at the woman's corpse, now hidden behind the door as Sheena wipes the blood off her knife on her, and slowly starts to realize that his driver has already made the choice for him.

And yet there's something... vaguely satisfactory, about it. Something that sings like justice in his core, something terrifying and deranged that he doesn't want to keep feeling, so he rips his gaze off the woman's dead stare and looks at Sheena instead, sealing away his emotions once again to make way for a shaky, blood-stained grin. Right--they're going to escape. He needs to focus.]

"Guess we're really running away, huh?" [he says, pushing himself past the static in his mind and legs to join Sheena as they exit the room. He spares a glance at Sheena's knife and laughs.] "That shitty knife's not gonna do it for you beyond that woman, though. Luckily for you, I think I can do you one better."

[She doesn't even seem fazed by the murder - it's like the official's life was nothing more than an obstacle to be removed. Sheena takes the lead as they go, but only by a step or two; if they got separated, it would be a disaster. Her voice drops a little, not wanting it to carry.]

I do have my cards, too. [She'll just paper cut the whole castle to death. It'll be fine. Not for the last time, probably, she wishes that even one of the summon spirits was able to hear her call from here. At least she's not alone, now that Zelos is with her.] But it might be a problem if we run into too many people at once. What've you got in mind?
