[S.O.S.]

[under the blaring sound of the alert siren, rosalia's voice comes through a bit frantically, followed by one much less familiar to the network.]

N-No! No emergency! Jack's new! I'm really sorry about this!

Oh. Whoops.

Yeah, what do we have to do to get home? Or at least get our stuff back. Not that I'm jumping on this whole war thing, but I'd be a lot more useful if I had my staff.

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

That's alright. I didn't want to spring immediately to conflict here myself, but I can't leave this world in turmoil. BREW strips everyone's weapons and powers, replacing them with Meister Abilities and Weapon Abilities. Trust me, if I still had my mirror, this would be behind us now, but it's a matter of making due now.

[Video]

[snowman]

So, what, you're saying I'd still be useless even if I had my staff? What's the point of them dragging people in to fight for them if they're gonna just get rid of everyhing that might make us useful in a fight?

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

BREW has to treat us equally and within the terms of this world. Not all beings like us are good after all.

[Video]

[snowman]

Why would they bring anyone bad?

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

BREW is fulfilling the wish how it sees best. The potential one holds draws its attention, but how the person uses their abilities go either way. After all, wars can conclude in one's favor or in another's.

[Video]

[snowman]

So this things could just as easily bring in bad guys and people that might help the Witches?

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Unfortunately, yes.

[Video]

[snowman]

Making everyone powerless and dragging possible enemies in against their will. Wow, it's like they want to lose.

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Haha, it can seem that way. Still, we're not entirely powerless. Do you know if you're a Meister or Weapon? Either way, I would assume your abilities are ice-based.

[Video]

[snowman]

No. I guess the girl I met before that turned into a ribbon was a weapon? I can't do anything like that as far as I know...

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Yes. Rosalia is a Weapon, but she's not really the fighting type. I don't know Soul Perception so I wouldn't be able to tell you.

[Video]

[snowman]

Soul what?

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Soul Perception. It's a Meister Ability that allows a person to sense another's soul. They can find out your strengths and abilities this way.

[Video]

[snowman]

That's kinda... [really unsettling.] I dunno if I want anyone looking at my soul...

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

I admit, it's weird, but it's either that, or that x-ray machine.

[Video]

[snowman]

An x-ray machine that peeks at your soul? Yeah, that sounds loads better.

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Your choice in the end. I guess there's also trying to will an ability to work or a transformation to occur. Still, asking gives you an idea where to begin.

[Video]

[snowman]

I guess. Not sure I even want to begin, though...

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Take your time and speak with other guests. Opinions will be mixed, but the direction you decide to take here is ultimately yours to make.

[Video]

[snowman]

Alright...

[he still sounds unsure, but he trusts you.]

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Keep your head up, Jack.

I have to go for now, check on people and whatnot at the clinic and hospital. It's actually a good thing you set off that alarm or else I might have kept sleeping. Contact me if you ever have a problem or just want to chat.

[Video]

[snowman]

Alright, so...I guess I'll talk to you later.

[Video]

[motherofthesun]

Yes. Later, Jack.
