And Now the Wolf-Bear of Doom is Dead

[laceandcarnage]

I am dead.

Dead things should remain dead. Why am I now alive?

[fridgeninja]

... Big shoes.

[laceandcarnage]

Have you inspected the mark to your satisfaction?

[fridgeninja]

Hm?

Oh. Yes, that's fine.

It's a mark of the Tower Arcana.

[laceandcarnage]

[she frowns, and begins briskly putting her dress back on]

Tower is the one with the wings and the trumpet?

[fridgeninja]

Hm? No, probably not, that sounds like Judgment.

[Turning away to stare at the mountainside now that he doesn't have a reason to be examining her.]

[laceandcarnage]

Then why do I have the mark of Tower, when Judgement was there?

[fridgeninja]

They're probably in competition... what was Judgment doing?

[laceandcarnage]

They stood with the Sentais when they killed Izanami, and shook their head.

[fridgeninja]

Maybe by killing someone marked by a rival, Judgment-san scored a point.

[laceandcarnage]

I dislike this Judgement.

I will rend their flesh, and Tower's.

[fridgeninja]

I think it's pretty uncommon for them to have flesh you can rend. To me, their bodies on Jaunts always looked like puppets.

[laceandcarnage]

They I will destroy their puppets!

[sorry Souji, but in this case, she's pretty set on having some carnage.

Which is probably why Tower likes her, really]

[fridgeninja]

That's fine. Just don't mistake what you're doing as something that will be likely to hurt them. And be careful. It's not difficult for them to kill us, even as puppets.

[laceandcarnage]

Death is always a risk.

[She is a predator. She knows, that no matter how sharp her teeth or how fast her claws, sometimes, they prey will hurt her.]

[fridgeninja]

That's true.

[laceandcarnage]

[She tilts her head, and looks at him]

Do you have more questions?

[fridgeninja]

... Can you make portals to distant locations?

[laceandcarnage]

No.

[fridgeninja]

Then, no.

[laceandcarnage]

You can teach this skill?

[fridgeninja]

Not that one - I can only make portals back to the place I came from.

[laceandcarnage]

I wish to know this skill. Who may teach me?

[fridgeninja]

Which one? Making portals at all, or making them far away?

[laceandcarnage]

I wish to make them far away.

[fridgeninja]

Ambrose-san and Sabetha-san.
