[tempus_scorpius]

[he looks at where her finger is pointed] ... real? But that's the only part that's real...

[cutestprogrammer]

[Chihiro cries out in surprise when he falls on Endou then he coughs a bit as he nods]

Yes, I'm al- [Then he finally gets a good look at the Endou wireframe and screams his lungs out, if he had lungs that is while trying to push him away.]

[cutestprogrammer]

I... I see... [But why? Why is this happening???]

[The seriousness in Kuwabara's tone does get through to him though and he nods.] I-I'll try my best...!

[cutestprogrammer]

Mn! It could be that too. Any-Anyway, I'm sure Toto will be alright when this is over, Kazumi-san!

[altitonant_emperor]

[ His shoulder slump the tiniest bit and he glances sideways at the blaring red lights that flooded the hallways.

Berserker looks absolutely exhausted.

He... really didn't know what to do. Leaving the Servant alone like this struck him as cold but staying here sounded like an insensitive course of action as well. Ugh. With an increasing sense of how much he hated the administrators for reducing him powerless, and feeling ill at ease, he said; ]

That's correct.

[ And as pitiful as he knows they are to say; ]

You have my condolences.

[ghostytrainer]

Me? Yeah, I'm fine! A-okay, dude, never better. Okay well...that's a stretch because we have all definitely been better but I'm perfectly fine. Promise. This wasn't really a surprise and I can't really be upset with the outcome because reasons so... [He trails off.]

But if you want to come with me, that's cool. I won't say no to company but you know Rose and I are just going to start making out once we find each other right? Totally going to get our wireframe mushy on and talk about how much we love each other. Super romantic.

[Do you really want to be there for that, Dave?]

[ghostytrainer]

Yes, exactly! Play-doh people!

[They're coping!!!]

[ghostytrainer]

I love you, Rose. [He tries pulling her into a hug once more, even tighter this time.] More than anything.

[ghostytrainer]

Oh! Yosuke is here too? How have I... not run into him in all this time? I'll have to make it a point to fix this. And I think I have spoken to Kanji here before as well.

I will definitely keep an eye out for them though.

[blockspenguins]

Alright! You got it! We're going to have the largest meeting you've ever seen!!

[[He runs off, but stops a little ways away and jobs back over to Romeo.]]

Wait. When are we having this? And where?

[blockspenguins]

Well yeah, but you're not imaginary are you? I know I'm not! And if we're not imaginary, we have to be real.

[[It's okay. He deals well with other people's anger.

Except usually that just angers them even more but whatever, right!!!]]

[blockspenguins]

[[Endou jumps, almost dropping him, but tries to calm him down.]]

Wo-woah, hey! It's alright!! Careful, you're going to get hurt...!

[ajealouswind]

Am I?

[There's a dash of levity and a touch of surprise in Kain's tone, even as he pivots and swings his spear again, slicing at another orc. That's not the sort of statement a defenseless and fearful man makes. Then... who was this, that he was defending?]

Blades are still blades, illusionary as they may seem to be! If you've a... hggn!

[And that's the sound he makes as an orc's cleaving sword finds some purchase in his upper arm. The wireframe bends, and the orange is threatening to leak out. But the orc that did it gets a spear slash across its throat in return. He's hurt but far from finished.]

[doc_brown]

[ Wait, Chihiro's word got Doc to think. ]

Great Scott, what if we were stored within computers? With all that we have seen, the possibility of this being true is significant!

[doc_brown]

This may not be your true form young man, but this is what you look like!

[ And this is quite scary, but the Doc's gonna calm down, slowly. ]

[doc_brown]

It's not its fault of course, but if this being is not truly alive there is no difference between this Einstein and a basic computer program!

[ Doc sighed and shook his head, calming down a bit. Well, Sertoria had been the proof beings born from programs would be real as well and he knew that, but Einstein. This "Einstein" had been a good companion, but how could he tell that hadn't all been just programmed reactions?

Einstein had been his second dog and the one that had remained with him during years of time travel. That he was still with him beyond the worlds had been a comfort. To realize that he was now gone and that it had been only an illusion all that time... ]

I AM NOT MUCH BETTER sorry aaah

[sageprincess]

[While the other woman's determination is inspiring (and, admittedly, very nice to hear in the wake of such a horrific revelation), Zelda has to blink at the name and country she uses to identify herself. Grado Empire... why does that sound familiar--]

Oh! We have met once before! I am Zelda, Princess of Hyrule. I believe we have shared a meal once.

[For all the gravity of the situation, she at least seems friendly as she recalls where they had encountered one another before the glamour failure.]

I am certain the coming months will be fraught with need of courage. Your assistance will be greatly appreciated, Amelia.

We can be super-slow buddies! /behold, the worlds slowest high-five

[gradosfinest]

[Her rather intense train of thought is momentarily derailed when she hears that name, memories of that rather pleasant breakfast rushing back to her.

Even if it had all turned out to be an illusion, it was still nice to recall and she cracks a small smile, barely noticeable at a moment like this. But it's obvious in her tone, which lightens slightly.]

Princess Zelda! I remember now, yeah! [But this does nothing to change the severity of the situation at hand and her voice takes on a serious tone again.] The admins aren't going to be happy about this at all, I imagine. Their retaliation's probably going to be terrible... but do you think this will open some kind of hole in their defenses? I've been here for months and I haven't seen any way to actually strike at them yet, I've never even seen any of them in person.

[bloodlessons]

Yeah, they're all great! Funny characters too, I know they have my back and if anyone comes after them, well I'll make their head explode! [That may be a legitimate theat.]

I'm sure they'll like you because I sure do!

[bloodlessons]

Well, believe it or not I didn't have a lot of friends until I joined Chrom's army, and I recently noticed that hey, I kinda like them! [He shakes his head a bit, completely showing his disbelief at the thought!]

Sure there we some guys I talked to while fighting for Plegia, but this whole friendship thing is kinda new to me.

[chevalier_mal_fet]

[The Violet light of Lancelot's face brightens as he raises his head. Somehow he finds the response-- dignified, and refreshing.
It is good betimes to have one's pain acknowledged, not explained away.

I thank you. For your Courtesy.
It is a rare enough thing. And valuable, as all rare things are.

What is your Name, then? For I do not know your face-- and cannot.

[notagiraffe]

"I was just looking for people... but it's quite hard... you can come... only if you want to..."

[chainsawn]

I don't think I do..

[ But she's already feeling for it. The back of her neck, her shoulders of her wireframe.. nope, nothing so far. ]

But the entire tower probably has. So everything goes off at the same time.

[chainsawn]

.. Probably not as creative now. I'm better with my chainsaw.

[ How are you creative with a chainsaw of all things... ]

[chainsawn]

Hmm. We're all dressed up, right?

[ She spins around as if she's showing off her wire frame.. ]

That's what people do at a costume party. Well, that and having fun.
