Oh? So you're that confident you can still play me? Don't let yourself get too cocky now.

Just kidding! [She gives a winning smile.] It's good to hear from you too, mun. After all , it's been a while since I got to do anything. So after all that talk of how I was "a lot of work" and "an exhausting muse," you finally want to do something with me again? Well, I can't say I have any complaints with that, but you should try to have me in a game longer this time! I get that you were "burnt out" and all that time, but it'd still be better to be somewhere longer. Oh, and if I can get another request, somewhere where I won't get all exhausted and depressed like that other game too.

But here's to the future with you, mun! I'm looking forward to whatever comes next and whoever I get to see.

... actually, I have one more condition, and that's to put me somewhere with Emil! Oh, come on, you can't tell me you didn't see this coming.

My mundane seems to claim the same. My, it's been some time hasn't it!

[lightspins]

It really has! I didn't think I'd ever get to talk to someone who wasn't in her own head again. [She takes a stretch like SURE WAS TIRING DOING NOTHING.]

[meritocracy]

[ DAMN IT WAS EXHAUSTING. natalia doesn't stretch b/c that's not polite marta but she does smile lightly. ]

Indeed. Not to mention how uncomfortable it was. Really, I expect better from now on!

[lightspins]

[Come on Natalia, LIVE A LITTLE...!]

Yeah, totally! For as much as our muns say they love us and all, you'd think they'd treat us a little better than this.

[oblivious_klutz]

Marta! Well, I can't say Emil is still at Death City where I am, but maybe if you went somewhere even without him he would show up there too? I was alone at first until Lloyd came!

[lightspins]

Colette, it's good to see you! Oh, but of course Lloyd would join you soon enough if you were alone. [Lloyd and Colette are like the one of the cutest couples in her eyes okok.] I really hope Emil would do the same for me.

[oblivious_klutz]

Yes. [Lloyd has a habit of following her, even after she lied about the time she was leaving he still managed to catch up and find her.] I am sure he would! Emil and you seemed like you were really good friends, so I am sure he would want to go to be with you too!

[lightspins]

Well, yeah, but I can't help but worry sometimes, you know? What if he didn't want to be with me too?

[oblivious_klutz]

Why wouldn't he? You seem like pretty good friends from what I've heard. [Implications of being more than friends fly over Colette's head here. Part of the reason (or, one of many) she and Lloyd are not quite 'together'.]

[lightspins]

We are! But that's not the problem here... [It's hard being in love man, it's hard.]

[knightofscaredycat]

Oh, uuuhm, but I'm not in any games right now...I'm sorry.

There's a lot of scary guys out there too. It's not like I didn't want to join anything, it's just the mun...doesn't let me get out much. *sigh*

[lightspins]

There's no need to apologize! It's not your fault if your mun won't let you, right? But I don't think you need to worry so much either. Even if they seem scary, I'm sure you'd be alright, Emil.

[knightofscaredycat]

(Easy for you to say. You've never met that green cloaked guy...)

W-well...if you say so, then there isn't much reason for me not to step forward, right?

[lightspins]

Exactly! Besides, taking the first step forward is usually one of the hardest parts, you know? You just have to get things started!

[knightofscaredycat]

Right.

And no certain spiteful living beings in sight!

...

...eeexcept my mun. *blush* C-cut it out...

[lightspins]

Just tell me if your mun is giving you a hard time, okay? I don't know how, but there's no way I'll let anyone treat you too roughly! [Oh Marta, it's cute that you think you can... really do something..... Alas.]

[knightofscaredycat]

[Challenge Accepted!]

H-hey!

Stop it! Ow!

Like right now? Ow! Stop doing that!

[lightspins]

Ohh, I won't let you get away with that! Come on, Emil! [DRAGGING HIM OFF like this is going to get him away from his mun... She can hope okay.]

[martelapproves]

Like humans ever have our bests interests in mind.

[lightspins]

I think it's more of a things with muns in general than them being humans...

[martelapproves]

They throw us into these games for their own amusement without even thinking about what we might have to say about it. Sounds pretty typically human to me.

LMAO I USED THE COMPLETELY WRONG ACCOUNT SORRY ABOUT THAT.....

[lightspins]

You can't seriously think every human out there is like that. [NO MARTA DON'T OPEN THIS CAN OF WORMS...]

It's okay. XD

[martelapproves]

They had four thousand years to prove me wrong. And they haven't.

[ Yeah, it's opening now. ]

[lightspins]

Four thousand years? [processing... WAIT] Four thousand years, seriously?!

[martelapproves]

S-so... so he really didn't tell anyone...

[ He should be happy about that, shouldn't he? Mithos is never logical. ]

Figures... what an idiot. It's... it's not enough to rejoin the worlds and let the war restart... to... to let Martel become a Summon Spirit without anyone telling me that would happen...

[ Learning what happened in DOTNW at vatheon gave him feels like you cannot believe, Marta. Dhaos didn't really help, either. It almost broke his brain. ]

[lightspins]

Hey, look--I don't know who you are, but we did our best not to let something like a war happen. Sure there were a few times where it got a bit close, but everyone's trying their best to avoid that now.

[ALAS, poor Mithos, he just won't catch a break no matter what happens... Oh but yeah huh, Lloyd and the gang did tell her and Emil about Martel before.] Oh, well with Martel, it's like she became a real goddess in a way, right?

[martelapproves]

You-- you don't know who I am... yeah... figures... Lloyd wouldn't want anyone to know the truth, would he? Haha... hahahaha... humans are so stupid.

Why do you think I kept the worlds split up for so long? Humans never change. After four thousand years, they're still the same hateful inferior beings they were after me and my sister gave everything to save them the first time.

[lightspins]

[There's an indignant reply half-making its way to her mouth by the time he's done already, but then it starts to sink in a bit. Four thousand years, saving humans, everything he's saying. He's still not making much sense admittedly, but...]

Wait, you're not saying...? No way, it can't be!

[1/2]

[martelapproves]

What, that Mithos the Hero is still alive after all this time?

[ He starts shaking. It's clear he didn't take learning what happened in the sequel well. How could he? He was both vindicated by learning what humans did after the world were rejoined, and he learned that the Journey of Regeneration was basically a complete waste of time because of what happened to Martel. ]

You-- you would call me a hero, wouldn't you? Only humans would reward a hero by killing his own sister right in front of him because she took away their mana to stop them from destroying the world with it. You wanna know where I was all that time?

[martelapproves]

[ Suddenly, Mithos begins glowing. A few seconds later, there's an angel standing where he was, whose wingspan was at least twice that of Colette's. ]

I gave up that name long ago. I am Yggdrasill, leader of Cruxis... and the Desians.

[lightspins]

You... [Alright alright, so this is a bit of a serious infodump, BUT THERE ARE DEFINITELY SOME THINGS SHE HEARD IN THERE SHE DIDN'T LIKE.]

You're the leader of the Desians? Mithos the Hero who fought to save everyone?! What was the point of everything you did if the only thing you ended up doing was to make everyone suffer like they did?!

[martelapproves]

Where to begin? [ Mithos speaks noticeably different in this form. More mature, more... sinister. Perhaps an odd way of disassociating himself from his past, and true, form? ]

Punishing the ungrateful inferior beings for what they did to Martel after she saved them? Making them suffer the way we half-elves did at their hands?

My sister's dying wish was to see a world free of hate and discrimination. Humans will never accept half-elves willingly. It is a self-evident truth that we will never co-exist as different species.

[lightspins]

It is possible, and you were just too blind to see it! After so long of nothing but hate perpetuated between the two races, it's no wonder, but still... But still! If that's the truth, then how did I befriend two half-elves, even despite my initial reluctance, huh?!

[martelapproves]

You are one human among millions. The hatred of half-elves is so deeply engrained in human culture that the only way it can be removed is for all beings to become the same.

[lightspins]

The same? [Not that she knows what he's talking about honestly but SHE'S STILL PISSED.] Any big change that happens has to start somewhere! More and more people are becoming willing to accept half-elves, and it'll only grow from there!

[martelapproves]

I waited long enough. If they won't change willingly, I'll have to force them in the only way I know for sure will work.
