[ Video ] | MIRROR NETWORK

[ video comes up, and there is Kaneki and Cass looking at the camera. He is sitting down with a serious expression and nods at Cass to let her know he will start ] It has been a week since the Death Island Swear-in, and we actually have a lot of things to discuss. [ so… many… ]

During the Swear-In, myself and a team of imPorts met with an OTO representative from a less extreme branch of their organization. We talked and they said all they want to do is to send us home: this branch has no plans on killing us, but they also don’t really care about Atropos. All they want is for us to go home. So they suggested us working together on just that: they want us to establish a spy to report back on government and imPort projects regarding the imPort multiverses and multidimensional advances. In return, they’d do the same and tell us about their own interdimensional travel efforts. [ by kaneki’s expression, he is not Impressed. ]

We decided we would ask the imPort community what you want to do. Ideas, options, opinions. I do want to remind you, however, we never established direct contact with the OTO before, this is the first time. [ so it’s good to think things through.

After, Kaneki will look back at Cass because this trip is not over yet. ]


Yeah, I’m here too. Again. [ She’s starting to realize this is a pattern, at this point. ] So, if you’re wondering about the actual permanent-death-inducing laser cannon that caused what we were all memorializing over there- it’s not there anymore. And it’s probably in the hands of OTO. Because we can’t have a single fucking moment of peace around here, obviously.

[ After taking a moment to rub her forehead: ] Specifically, it’s owned by a company called Agile Systems Solutions that OTO owns most of the stock of- well, companies associated with them do. Let’s just say it’s OTO and get it over with. Kaneki’s thinking we should pool our combined riches and harness the power of late capitalism to worm our way in, so if you’re an imPort that actually has money, feel free to pitch in, I guess. Or whatever you want to do. Point is, something that can off any of us for good is in the hands of a bunch of mass murderers who want to murder us specifically, which makes me think we probably shouldn’t trust them with any spies...but obviously we’re all leaving that to you people. Try not to lose your shit.

That plan from- uh- Psychopomp and I last month is still on the table, by the way.
[ She sighs. ] Like I said. Try to actually think before you pitch a fit, here? We kind of have a potential apocalypse to prevent.

[ Luke flinched at that. ]

It is probably... best if I not bother my nephew.

Though I do have my own plans to look for Atropos as well.

Wait-

[ After a moment, Luke will see Cassandra's changed the status of the feed to private. ]

What's your plan? And I hope you're not doing it on your own. Even I've gotten myself backup on this one.

I'm not doing it on my own; I don't think I could.

[ He's pretty sure that doing any of... that would be difficult to do to himself. ]

I'm getting help from Darth Jadus on this.

That guy. I've seen him around. [ And there's something off about him, the way she sees it. ] How exactly is he helping you? Does he have these same powers?
faithfulson: (Looking out)

[ Luke couldn't help but snort. Yeah, Jadus was best summed up as that guy. ]

He does, though he uses them differently from most other Force users.

[ Understatement. ]

And that’s why you’re teaming up, I’m assuming. What’s the idea behind it? And why do you think it’ll work?
faithfulson: (Oh bite me)

The Force can allow for views into the past, present, and future. I'm hoping in a place like Jeopardy, which is already unnatural to this world, will make it easier to track Atropos.

All of that? Are you serious? That's fucking-

[ She rubs her forehead. ] You'd think I would have gotten that. [ If they were all together, the Norns would have the past, present, and future, after all. ] Okay, let's say you can pull it off. What are you specifically looking for in Jeopardy? You think Atropos is linked to it?
faithfulson: (I'm just pretending to listen)

There's a lot that can be done with the Force. I don't think anyone's ever really grasped the limit of what can be done.

[ Part of him is a little afraid to find out, honestly, but that's neither here nor there at the moment. ]

Jeopardy feels... wrong. Different, and -- I have no proof -- but I believe it's appearance and Atropos' return may be linked.

Right now, it's just a feeling, though.

That’s disturbingly ambiguous.

[ Cassandra doesn’t like unknown limits. Or anything unknown, really. ]

My guess is...Jeopardy is from somewhere else. Which sounds fucking ridiculous, but OTO got another world to bleed into ours when they pulled that shit in De Chima, right? If Atropos is capable of anything, I assume it’d be making that happen on a much larger scale.
faithfulson: (What no?!)

Tell me about it...

[ He is very fully aware of just how deep and unsettling the Force can be, and that's before even considering what horrors lie on the Dark end of the spectrum. ]

That was my thought as well. I don't know if the OTO is deliberately messing with reality or if it's Atropos, or if our own presence here is starting to rip apart reality. I feel finding the answer may lie in that city, however.
