OK, I know I said my offer was one time only the last time we talked, but I’ve been watching all of you for the past few days, and I actually feel sorry for you. So I’m trying this again. Most of your more hostile comrades seem to be among the disappeared, so I hope those of you who are left will be a little more reasonable about this whole thing.

My name is Jack. I am not - repeat, NOT - working with the Head, and I wasn’t a member of the Heart, either. I’m not trying to trick you - my offer to help is genuine. And I even brought an olive branch this time. It’s a video I found, and no, I’m not Rickrolling - click here and watch. I think you’ll find it sheds some pretty interesting light on what happened here, back in the day.

Now, when you’re done watching, you have a decision to make. Do you want my help? Because I have a couple of tricks up my sleeve, and I’m happy to share them - for a price. My going rate is the same as last time - I want a story. A confession, specifically, of something wrong that you did and got away with. As far as what I’m offering? I can set up a secure network for you to communicate with each other, stay in touch, talk out whatever plans you might come up with to escape this hellhole. It’ll be a lot easier than trying to coordinate a dozen people into the same meatspace where yes, Virginia, you’re still being monitored by our evil robot overlord. So that’s one option. The other is that through the power of magick, I can make you invisible to all technological surveillance. Option A, the network, will need to be a group decision. If you pick option B, though, we’ll arrange payment on an individual basis.

Questions are fine, but I’d appreciate a little civility. If you’re only going to yell and be a dick, you can just keep scrolling.

Dunno if I ever bought the god story, but like I said it might have some relevance to it. Sorceresses and Guardian Forces for one. Magic exists, humans just can't use it. Normally.

Sooner rather than later, I got work to get back to.

Preaching to the choir here.


[Jack can't see or hear it, but Seifer is absolutely chuckling to himself. Ah, finally explained it! Though that's not exactly how he expected the conversation to turn.]

Woah, hang on, I just wanted to see if I could get you to explain it in public.

...Unless you've got some good recommendations?


[Seifer will never back down from a challenge.]

'Course I was trolling. Dunno, ain't exactly something people talk about it is it?

There's an industry? And wait what's a feminist? You can take that for a class? The hell kinda school you go to?


[Don't mind him he's an alien from a very militaristic world.]

Listen, I got no fucking clue here. Surprise me.

[Oh what's this? Something he's learned about!]

Oh I've heard about America! And there was another... Japan wasn't it? Something like that. And uh, spring break, I still don't really get what that's about.

What's a Puritan and what are their values?

Yeah, sure, ain't like I've got much important to do. My employers are all gone so it's just me and an anvil these days.
