Hnmnn...

This might be weird to ask, but has anything... odd happened, recently?

Define "odd".

For most humans, every day around here is odd, Aegis.

[handofaegis]

Well, it's kinda hard to define it, actually.

More it's like... a feeling? Yeah, it's like a feeling that something happened in the past couple days.

I can't really pinpoint what it is though, but it's a sensation of something appearing that I haven't felt in quite a while now.

[kattobingore]

Weeeell... something odd kinda happened to me and, er...
... I think it's related to you guys.

[handofaegis]

Wait, what?

Really?

[kattobingore]

Does a Number named 'White Rider of Heavens', mean something to you guys?

[handofaegis]

Um, yes!

That was Scythe's partner!

[kattobingore]

Ah! The Mamoru guy who's been doing the AI tests used it!! His system went super haywire on me so he stepped in to help me duel it and he summoned that in the duel!

He told me afterwards that in the past he was 'possessed by something' after touching a scythe which he said 'may of been an Artifact monster'. I know Scythe was the one who gave his power to Alexandra but Mamoru said he received that Number as a 'blank card' and his deck changed to Burning Abyss after he was possessed.

He said that duel was the first time he'd used any of those cards.

After using it, the card went blank again.

[handofaegis]

Well... this sure explains what that feeling was, at least.

But... it's a blank card, now? But it's still around? Is it dead? Is it alive? Urrrgh, this is confusing... Just the idea that someone even used them at all is...

[tachyonparticle]

Tsukumo.

Did anything seem off about the Number itself? Or about how this... "Mamoru" reacted to summoning it?

[kattobingore]

Ah, I'm sorry. I know this is super hard for you guys...

Maybe... maybe this was Scythe's will. He passed the last of his power to Alexandra, but, maybe he passed his partner onto Mamoru.

[handofaegis]

Well, just... it's weird to hear about, you know?

Our Numbers are more than just our partners. They're like... a part of our selves? Though if it was blank, it's more amazing that it even appeared again...

[kattobingore]

Well, the system really seemed to struggle when it was summoned and it seemed kinda... incomplete in places.

I saw Mamoru hold his hand to his chest just after it was summoned though, like it caused him some kind of pain.

Event

[spectrecestus]

[Cestus is trying to poke her head around Aegis' shoulders to read the message.]

Says White Rider on that box.

Is Scythe in that box.

[tachyonparticle]

... Hnmm...

I'm going to speak to Failnaught about this. Understandably... something like this happening is very unusual for us.

But... I don't know if he'd listen to me when I say this, but please-- if you see him again, tell him to avoid summoning White Rider again.

Re: Event

[handofaegis]

*whoa! she almost didn't realize you were right there Cestus*

Oh-- um--

N-no! No, Scythe isn't in this... box. Um...

*she holds up the phone she's using* This is a communication device.

Re: Event

[spectrecestus]

[She looks at Aegis. Then at the phone.

She gets up real close to the phone.]

WHERE IS SCYTHE?

Re: Event

[handofaegis]

N-not that type of communication device! I have to write down the words for it. See? *she types down some words on the screen, and they appear. to demonstrate for Cestus.*

And Scythe is sorta...

... Well, I was going to say he's gone, but everything's really confusing now.

[kattobingore]

Right. If I see him again, I'll tell him that.

[tachyonparticle]

Thank you.

Re: Event

[spectrecestus]

Hmn.

Let me speak to the box.

[the_ebbandflow]

Reading on this...

Do you think he might have a Core in him?

[handofaegis]

Definitely not.

Especially since Scythe's weapon is here... The weapon and the Core can't really exist separately like that, you know?

[the_ebbandflow]

Then that's even weirder that he even has the Number, right? Or that he was even able to summon them. It seems like they'd be kinda picky about that sorta thing.

Re: Event

[handofaegis]

Um... Sure?

*she hands the phone over to Cestus, hoping that she might at least have an idea of what she's doing...*

[spectrecestus]

[This message appears to still come from Aegis' account.]

HELLO, COMMUNICATION BOX.

PLEASE TELL ME WHAT YOU KNOW ABOUT SCYTHE AND HIS PARTNER.
