To bear witness, I suppose. It's... complicated.

But it feels wrong to make the claims that I have to him and have nothing to offer as evidence but my word. Not that my memories are much more in that regard, admittedly, but...

I don't know. But I want that truth to be known. And it feels right. I suppose that is all the reason I can offer.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Hang on, I'm thinking.






As long as you have no expectation that I'll back you up or act as some kind of character reference between you and Dad, I don't mind coming along. What I'm saying is, yes, I'll bear witness, but I won't be YOUR witness. Sound fair?

Also, I'm damn curious about what the hell a "cognitive-manifestation space" is and would probably say yes just for that.

[founderinglight]

Perfectly fair. Take whatever impressions it is that you desire.

The term usually used is a "Palace" but that explains less than nothing about the concept, honestly, so I went with something a bit more descriptive.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Yeah, no, I liked it better when it sounded all sciencey. Is there anything I have to do to prepare?

[founderinglight]

Goro was saying something about a bit of a test for how well the group fights together, but I'm reasonably confident in the handful of extras I've asked along. You're a skilled warper, you can at least avoid injury that way if things should go south.

Aside from that, whatever preparations you would normally make before heading into danger. Don't worry about bringing lunch, I'll provide it.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Ha ha, you think I've ever prepared for anything in my life?

[founderinglight]

At least one or two things, surely.

I admit it's not the sort of life I can imagine at all.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Maybe I studied for a test once. Like in middle school or something.

[founderinglight]

...It's a start, I suppose.

Well, either way, most of the preparation is on my end. I believe we're planning for Saturday morning, so be sure to at least get a decent night of sleep.

[misanthropicprinciple]

Any idea how long it'll take? I don't want to worry the others.

[founderinglight]

If it is more than a day, we will turn back to rest, worry not. My own tendency towards chronic exhaustion limits such things extensively - it is no skin to admit that a part of my preparations includes near a full pot of strong coffee separated into mugs.

[misanthropicprinciple]

If it's more than an hour, I have to tell at least Yuuri.

[founderinglight]

More than that, yes, certainly. I would plan for most of the afternoon, at the very least. I'm not asking you to keep it from them, though I would prefer to not have Ardyn himself hovering outside my door, as things are... complicated enough without that.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I can tell him I'm busy easily enough without necessarily having to explain, but I can't not let Yuuri know where I'm going.

We don't do disappearances well.

[founderinglight]

Completely understandable, in your circumstances. Do try to at least not make her hate me any more than she already does, though.

[misanthropicprinciple]

I don't think you have to worry about that unless something happens to me in there. In you? In your brain. Man, and I thought the psychic bullshit from my world was insane.

[founderinglight]

Technically "in the Ring" is also true of the location, at least from my understanding of the process.

...Don't worry, I have no intention of letting anyone wear it, and I've already warned Goro about the potential consequences of that.

[He's just assuming you know enough about the family magic bullshit to know what the fuck he's talking about.]

[misanthropicprinciple]

Oh my god, yeah, we CANNOT tell Dad. Jesus Christ. Well, that's bizarre and terrifying but all right, let's do it.
