On recent developments in game

Dear mundane,

Let me make sure I got this right. Not only did I just score an observer, but I may also get to mutilate and kill some of his little friends when he goes and spills the beans I told him to keep locked up tight?

Hehehehehehe. I really don't see a downside to this. In fact, I think this is going to go perfectly according to plan. Sure, I may be put on a watch list but it isn't like that would be bad. Let them all keep a nice strong gaze on me. The more the merrier. Poor fools.

And if any of them hate me, that would just be icing on this cake. And no Ragna or damn bloodsuckers in sight who can educate the little fuckers. Plus if I can pick up those notes that doctor is going to leave behind and get that boy to trust me with those powers of his? I wonder...

We never tried to make one with a boy before, you know? Might be less annoying and whiny! God.

[Now Hazama is doing his best Noel impression.] What did you do to Tsubaki? W-Why? Make it stop! Noooooo!

And don't get me started on the 13th sample. Ragna this and Ragna that all the damn time. The boy shouldn't be so damn irritating. Plus, if I give it enough juice, I wonder if it could slip right into the heart of it all.

Hmmm. Yeah. I like this plan. I like it a lot. Too bad Relius won't be around to get a hard-on for all the tests I'm going to have to do. His help would be nice but I can't sit on my ass waiting. Just have to move forward all on my own!

Besides, there are plenty of idiots who would probably be more than happy to help me.

Let's get the ball rolling mun.

Sincerely,

Captain Hazama

NOL Intelligence Department.

...Well aren't you just a social butterfly.

I try. I really do.

I'm gonna say it once - and just once, because after that it's gonna get un-fun. Keep away from my friends, or I'll make you regret it.

Hmmm. You mind providing a list of who I can and can't touch?

Oh wait. Scratch that. I think I can deal with you nipping at my nose.

How about this? I'll do as I damn well please and you can just sit over there and wait for winter to come, huh? That's a good little boy.

I am not a little boy. [ Sparks of frost lightning crackle dangerously from the end of his staff. ] And I'd be worried about a lot more than my nose if I were you.

Oh? You look it to me. And I doubt you have the snuff to hurt me. Just a piece of advice, boy, don't go picking fights unless you know just how your opponent works.

Yeah? Same to you, buddy. Though I, for one, don't mind picking fights with anybody who messes around with the people I care about.

I guess I get to try and solve a mystery. Do spirits bleed? I can't wait to see just what the answer to that question is.

You can try, Sherlock, but don't be too disappointed if the case goes cold.

...Really? That's what you're going with? ...Wow. That was pathetic.

Wow. Y'know, if you were trying not to sound utterly evil, you sure aren't doing a good job of it.

[And now there's some serious eyebrow raising going on, too. Evil guys. Ugh. :/ ]

Now what ever gave you that idea?

Buddy, I spend- well, spent- my days keeping creeps like you from laying a finger on civilians. And to be honest? You overplayed your hand at "kill some of his little friends".

So I'll say this only once. Who- no, what- are you?

Oh no no no. I meant, what would give you the idea that I was trying to hide that I'm evil? Honestly, if you've got it, flaunt it.

Who I am is Captain Hazama, NOL Intelligence. It's in the letter.

What I am is a bit more complicated. Doubt you would wrap your mind around it. So we'll go with non-human and call it good. K?

Yeah. That always turns out well. [Sarcasm!]

Pompier, Paragon City Fire Department.

Non-human...? [She squints at Hazama for a minute, suspicious.] Y' sure look human, that's for sure.

Looks can be very deceiving, girl. Trust me. This little body of mine may look it, but it ain't human. Nope.

[You rang?]

While your terminology is as needlessly crass as ever in regards to myself, Hazama, I must admit this little game of yours sounds quite interesting.

I was wondering when you'd pop up, Relius. I thought it was the perfect bait.

Oh this game is very interesting. Let this roll around in that over-educated head of yours: gaining the ability to manipulate reality itself.

Everyone here can do it! It's like being able to use magic! It's incredible!

Of course you lose all the nifty things that make you different but you can just bend 'em right on back.

Plus, there are a LOT of brainiacs here who love tests probably as much as you do.

...Well okay, maybe not as much as you do but pretty damn close.

My, that's quite the overabundance of information you seem to be providing. If I didn't know better, I'd say you almost missed having me around.

[He waves his hand dismissively.]

Regardless, it would be a lie to say I am not at all interested. On the contrary; the ability to manipulate reality using little more than my mind and will seems almost too good to be true. You mentioned something about losing your abilities before; I dare say such an unfortunate side effect deserves more than a glossing over. Would you care to explain it in greater detail?

Miss you? Perish the thought. I just simply see a...tactical advantage to having you around. That's all.

[Tch.]

I should have known you'd see through my fine print. Alright alright. Basically, any nifty little powers you have back home, ie my energy attacks, possessing people, eating memories, and so on? They all disappear when you arrive. BUT, items and tools stick around. So for you, you'd probably keep all those freaky hands and your doll-wife.

Only thing you might lose is being able to see souls and go diving into people's minds. Luckily, you can learn it all back with bending and even make it stronger too. I mean, in a test of wills, I don't see you losing very often.

Fair enough. And I suppose someone will have to repair that artificial body of yours should it get damaged.

[Which it probably will, because Hazama.]

And is that right? The Mundane here thought I would fare far worse than that. Truly a marvelous example of his intelligence...or lack thereof. Though I suppose it begets a look-over once again, just to be on the safe side. I know for a fact you would rather not wait for me to "catch up" to you in terms of abilities.

True true. I mean, you did build the damn thing. If anyone can put it back together, it's you.

[He's already on the track for damage, yes.]

You know Relius, if you wanted a link, all you had to do was ask. Place is called

thewake. Nice little place. I definitely don't mind it. If you got any questions, don't hesitate to ask. My mun has connections and can probably get you answers in minutes.

Truthfully, the mundane is rather fond of you, Hazama, so he took the time to do some digging before this little exchange of ours. He does have one question, though. Were you allowed to keep Ouroboros when you arrived? It's not the same as Ignis or my marionette abilities, but you do summon it like I do mine, so it's the closest comparison.

My my. I wonder if I should be flattered or not. I'll mull it over.

I definitely kept it. It was one of the only things I kept but yes, I kept it. It retained all of its abilities too, if that helps.

It does indeed.

I make no promises, and neither does the mundane, but let me assure you we are both adequately pleased with what you have told us. And adequately interested; this "game" merits far more than a simple glancing over.

That's enough for me. I'll keep moving things forward and if you show up, the more the merrier.

Mun wants to give you some contact info, in case your mun wants to talk about anything.

tseutsumi That's an easy way to catch his attention.

See you around, Relius.

Oh, what, you're not gonna tack on at least a "Mwahahahaha" on the end, there? And sorry, but I'm gonna have to deduct points for not even rubbing your hands together or tenting your fingers under your chin.

That's just basics, Sparky, c'mon. Get with it.

Dear me. Did I really forget the overly cliche villain things? Oops.

How about I get extra credit with my evil laugh?
