[ With the Ringmaster cutting off the kidnappee’s radios, it seems as good a time as any to use them again -- particularly since some particularly concerning developments have come to light. ]

As you’ve probably heard, some of our people got kidnapped at CY-Ren’s concert. [ If Lambert sounds incredibly reluctant to talk about this, it’s because he is. ] She’s also apparently managed to turn some -- maybe all of them -- into Harbingers like her.

[ Rita, on the other hand, shows no hesitation as she barrels ahead into an explanation. ]

For those not aware, Guardians and Harbingers both draw power from something called a 'Spark'... a physical manifestation of one's greatest passion or desire. For Harbingers, that passion has been inverted and twisted to serve the purpose of the Void... to destroy all living things. In other words, they've been brainwashed, and with their Sparks awakened, they're also incredibly powerful.

And now they’re using those powers to… [ Lambert pauses again. This is the part that sounds really stupid to him: ] … cause trouble around the city. Funny thing is, can’t say we’ve seen CY-Ren around at all. Can’t be a coincidence.

...Right. I don't know what their goal is, but maybe they can tell us, if we manage to recapture them. There has to be a way to get them back to normal, too.

As they are now, they're too strong to take down with normal means, but we have one new tool at our disposal. Through some sort of awakening, some among us are now able to manifest our own Sparks and fight back using the power of Creation. This should give us the edge we need to beat the Harbingers... and CY-Ren.


[ ‘Some sort’ of awakening is one way to put it. To wrap it up before this goes on too long, Lambert finishes: ]

But first we need to know how many of us there actually are. So speak up. That goes for anyone who’s run into the Harbingers too -- if we can figure out their movements or catch one of them, maybe we can figure out what this next ‘concert’ of hers is going to do this time.

[ Shoujo? Seinen??? None of these words, tragically, mean anything to Lambert at all. ]

We're working on that. Kind of need a backup plan if it turns out they don't know shit, though.

I'd use my shield. [Yuya grumbles as he sits up.] But we're supposed to be practicing what our Sparks can do, right?

[Maybe he should have accepted Gon's help as a familiar... if only to have someone else's brain besides his own.]

SORRY ALPHYS HE NEEDS MORE WORK

That sounds stupid.

[ SHUT DOWN. ]

More against things. It does still work, it's just, it doesn't look like my lightsaber anymore.

[She sounds aggravated. Lightsabers are important, damn it.]

It's... dramatic. [Said with all the disdain a generally earnest eighteen year old can dredge up.] The hilt is fancy, and the blade shouldn't look like this.

But it still works. There's that.

And they write stories of all that? What the hell?

Just point me to whatever needs shooting and I'm so there.

I also do explosions!

[Oh, she was listening. That doesn't usually happen. Haha!

It actually raises his opinion of her by a small amount, but that's a pretty dubious accomplishment.
]

....no.

But yes, that too.

[There. Clear as mud.]

[tragic. truly tragic. how will you ever truly become an anime??? ]

God. Yer tellin' me, that in this entire three ring freakshow -- INCLUDING a bunch'a folks with brand new powers! -- that we ain't got a soul who can forcefully view or extract... mem... ories. [he trails off. Then;]

Cole.
moonfang: (is that so)

[personal profile] moonfang 2018-02-28 03:32 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah. I know. I was there. The blast that I unleashed on that stage alone was enough to take out a city block and register on the Richter scale fer miles around. [maybe a SMALL exaggeration, but only a small one] Along with Tyki's Tease's attacks, she and her whole crew should have been atomized.

... But I figured that meant she put all her power into a shield. Guess not.
moonfang: (???)

[personal profile] moonfang 2018-02-28 03:46 am (UTC)(link)
Well, ya didn't tell ME that! You expect me ta be able ta see through solid stuff? Obviously you're ok.
whattaprick: (ugh not this shit again)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2018-02-28 03:47 am (UTC)(link)
Cole.

[ Said in the tone of voice that somehow evokes the feeling of having stepped into a pile of shit that you suddenly need to wipe off your shoe. Right, that whole see your heart crap. ]

You're missing the point. Doesn't make a difference if they don't have the memories in the first place.

[ That being said ... ]

But hey, if you can find him, why don't you give it a go? Can't turn out any worse than anything else we've tried so far. [ Your idea, your responsibility, Zangetsu! Also, little does Lambert know at this point: it can always turn out worse. ]

Heheheh. I take it you've met him. He's my roommate.

[let THAT sink in, Lambert. At least you don't have to live with him.]

... Though since all this nonsense started, I haven't really seen him. But he'll be able ta tell if they really don't have memories, or if they're lyin' through their teeth. ... I think. That seems within the realm of his possibilities.

[everything can always be worse]

SO many! It's a really popular genre! Almost as much as giant mecha!

Why would I lie about something that stupid? [ Lambert makes a face, but more importantly ... ] You have these where you come from?

[ Sorry, Rita -- Lambert had never interacted with her actually swanning around on a motorcycle in Wismuth, so this is news to him. Pig does fairly shimmer with magic to her vision -- the same bright gold that seems to wrap around Lambert now, lighting him up from within, even if he's largely oblivious to it. ]
whattaprick: (burn baby burn)

[personal profile] whattaprick 2018-02-28 09:27 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Lambert doesn't elaborate, just taking a step away from Pig and waving lazily at her. ]

That's Pig. [ Yeah, that's right, that's his horse who normally towers over 9S. She's still pretty big like this, but at least she's below his eye level for once ... though the heels definitely help. ] Creation decided to turn her into a familiar, apparently.

[Really?

Okay. Sure.

Foster doesn't sigh, at least.

He smiles.
]

....

You don't have a familiar of your own?
criticallyfucked: (Hold onto your humility)

[personal profile] criticallyfucked 2018-03-01 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
And you still don't know?

[Incredible.

What is even the point if your familiar doesn't own up to its role?
]

A familiar... serves its master by acting as a weapon, a tool, an informant even, should you wish it so. Do you understand?

It's a servant--an extension of your power that exists to further your purpose and goals as a Guardian!

[Emphasis on your purpose and goals.]

So what I want doesn't matter.

Though it's very nice of him to let me try for it anyway.

[Ha ha.]

You know, I really feel like they should be cutting me into however much money they're making.

Especially if I'm that big of an inspiration and all.
