"This is Intensity. Leave a message."
[Wait. What do you have in here? Holy---
But eyes on the prize. He only glances briefly to the layout of Wild City as they walk]
I have been known to be generous on occasion.

... Destiny. Right.
[Ugh]
So they jumped from Heaven. And don't mind being part of the decor because they don't give a shit about anything? Is that a correct assessment?

Close, ah, enough.
Empty of purpose, empty of hope.

So only mildly embarrassing. Not cripplingly bad.
[And follows!]
[And follows!]
And can you explain to me why you can't just ask these question to her yourself?
She's very straightforward.

I keep forgetting how big the pep! dorm is.
[Skips the last few steps to jump to the common room floor.]
What is it?

And what hobby has taken the place of woodworking?

She's my ex- who hates me? It's a thorny situation. But I care enough about her still that I'm interested in knowing if she's at least doing well. Um, since it seems like you went through quite a bit together.
Obviously, you don't have to tell me. I'm not offering much incentive for doing so, I know.

Day 49. One of Exael's game. It ran over the course multiple days.
It started in the Game Tower. The units were separated. As usual. In this game, one person on your unit was chosen to be the heart - the core of the unit. If they died, the rest of the unit would go crazy. Everyone else not the heart could turn into a monster. That's what made me think of it. Cobalt was a weird leopard looking thing with a tail coming out of the back of his head. Probably similar to what you just described.
Each round, you picked a specific person on another unit to attack. Monster versus monster. Or in some cases, if you picked their heart, that unit was eliminated from winning, but the remaining beserked monsters on the unit were left alive. In between rounds, they let everyone out of the Game Tower.
I'm sure you can imagine what happened.

[Give him a second to fish it out from its shelf. It looks a lot like his usual leg as Intensity tried to match the look and material]
Try it on.
Try it on.

If we could open Heaven again - do you think they could regain their hope?

[ she winces. ]
...I can imagine, yes.
It was... he did look just like that, actually. Although—Griffin wasn't here, then.

[ once in the lab there's a sheet covering something at the center of the shop. ] No peeking. I'll let'cha in on it soon, but first things first.
[ she grabs a guitar and a sword and hands them off to intensity. ] Can you combine these things for me and then can we talk about making it shoot fire or something. Not sure how to do that short of adding a flamethrower to it, but I'm not sure that's a purchasable item from the shop. Fireworks? Blowtorch?

[cute]
This? Mint chamomile tea from our garden.
[he turns toward the rest of the dorm]
This way, please.
[Still carrying both cups, he leads Intensity down the hallway. The door to his room is ajar enough that he can push it open the rest of the way with his foot and head inside.
It's been a long time since Intensity was last here, so it may look different. The far end of the room is floor to ceiling windows, and beyond that a balcony that looks like a school rooftop. Beyond that, instead of the city skyline, there are mountains.]

I am not sure. Leviathan said that...this one...had been briefly heartened by hearing that it was still there, that maybe they could do something, but fell back into despair.
Oh - sure. Gimme like half a sec.
[He plunks himself down cross-legged on the floor - digs his screwdriver out to take the old leg off.]
[He sets the screw to the side and works the leg out of the port, then sets it to the side. When he's done, he lines the new one up with the port and slides it in - wiggles the foot a little, testing.]

...something like that.
[Shuts the door behind them.]
Anyway, I figured you'd wanna hear about the new hosts.

[Guess you won't see the double pools then. Pushing on Intensity's chest so he falls back onto the bed once they reach Silver's room. His bed is indeed basically an oversized pet bed]
Oh, I'm not denying it~ You're a very giving soul, which is why tonight? It's your turn to receive.

Wasn't there something from your notes mentioning that Pythia wouldn't be herself without Hadassah? Is this a reference to that?
She's perfectly capable of handling herself, with or without your worrying.
But tell me this.
You haven't been here that long. Neither has she. How did you already manage to get yourself into ex-status?

No. He wasn't.
And it's a weak connection.
But that's the only other instance we have in the history of the production of monster transformation.

[Takes them both...
Awkwardly.]
Where do you want to stab people? From the body of the machine? Or from the neck?

Mm, well—specifically, Cobalt's was the first outside of a game that seems to have happened, and, well.
[ she purses her lips. ]
All of these seem to have started since our trip outside, or afterward. They don't seem to be triggered the same way, but they seem to be resolved by adequate rest and calm?
So I don't know if maybe there are more waiting to happen.
