Audio August 4th

Hey everyone!

... I know what I'm about to ask might be a bit weird, since we just got back from a skiing trip, but my friend Minako and I have been talking about setting something like this up for a while, so I'm going to go ahead and ask this anyway.

How many of you would be interested in having a beach trip or something sometime in the future. Not right away, obviously. We did just get back from a vacation day, but both of us figure that gathering interest now and planning things is better than trying to rush it all at the last minute.

[ Not to mention that, you know, people knowing about it in advance would make it easier to not have something else come up and make it so it needed to be pushed back because she hadn't had time to ask about it. ]

Also, if people are interested, what type of food would you like us to have there when it happens? Though I guess we might need to ask again closer to the date, depending on how many new people we get by the time we decide to actually have this.

[ Though you know, maybe she should say something else too. ]

Anyway, I have something else to talk about too. Something a little bit more important than a vacation day. My partner and I are thinking about trying to take on more missions than we have been. But... I'm not exactly sure what's a good balance. Like... how often should we go on more missions?

I mean, I know that we're not allowed to go on one everyday or more than two in a week. But for partners who haven't gone on that many before, is that a good schedule to follow? Or should we try to do one every week instead of two a week? I don't want the two of us to burn out on missions because we thought we were fine and then we suddenly crash, since that's not really going to help anyone out here. Does anyone who's been going on missions steadily for a while have any advice here?

... Kinda. But well, not really at the same time. It was pretty short. And wasn't like a formally declared one or anything and was pretty crazy and hard to describe.

Also, I was ten and other than "some guy manipulating everyone so he could try to take over the world and blow up another one", I didn't really have most of the details.

[Meanwhile all Miki could do was stare at the screen. Um, what?]

Well, that sounds like it was quite the predicament you and everyone else were in at that time.

But that's a little weird he would just suddenly want to take over the world like that though!

... It was. It... well, everything mostly ended up okay. It could've been a lot worse.

As for him, it was less 'suddenly' and more like the guy who put him in charge of stuff was being blind.

[Miki was only silent. That's quite the way to go.]

But he was fine in the end right? Or I certainly wish that he didn't...you know...

[Die?]

We... don't know. No one ever found the body, and another problem as a result of what he did showed up immediately after. So no one even had the time to go and look.

[It's just one thing after another!]

Then what else happened? After he went blind, was there something one who agreed with his ideals and wanted to everyone else to follow?

At least, I certainly hope not.

No. Umm... it was more like the actual fabric of the universe started to fall apart after all that he did, so some other guy from that other world decided to blow up the earth so our worlds wouldn't collide together.

[........

.....

....Huh?]

Excuse me but...I'm afraid I don't understand what you're talking about. Are you saying that he wanted to destroy the world because they're worried both worlds could kill everyone?

[A+ genius]

No. No. This was a different guy. More of a computer program thing, if you want to get really technical. We never found out what happened to the first genocidal and power hungry maniac.

The more you explain this, the more I'm starting to wonder about your world. It does seem rather....interesting and especially with things wanting to destroy the earth. Not to mention with talks of genocide too!

Yeah. I realized about halfway through all of this that I'm not really explaining it well at all.

But the most important thing is that you're safe right? And that this
while ordeal is over and everything is okay?

[Hopefully]

[ Chika blinks, before realizing what he's talking about. ]

Oh yeah! It's been over for like, seven years now. Or more like sixth and a half, depending on how much time actually passed back home.

[Meanwhile, Miki could just...stare at her]

Even though it's been that long, I still can't believe that you live in a world like that.

[Like you're one to talk Miki]

However, I suppose I shouldn't talk. My world back home is a little strange too. ...Did you ever get involved with sword fights?

[ Sword fights? Huh. ]

Nope! No sword fights back where I came from. Well, none that I knew about, anyway.

Ah, I see! I was hoping that there would be something like that back home!

[well, he can't avoid it now]

But yes, there was sword fights back home. I had to fight for something called the Rose Bride.

[And here we....go!]

[ Chika giggled. ]

Wow. That's delightfully vague, Miki-san. What's this Rose Bride that you're talking about?

[Oh boy, how does one describe Utena?]

She's someone who you have to win from duels and she's important to a lot of people involved.

...

However, that's because she also unlocks the power to give people the wish to change the world. Whoever wins her hand, they have all the power they could want!

[Minus a few...mindfucks here and there]

[ Chika listens, not completely sure how all that would work, but she's just going to assume 'magic' and not worry about it too much. ]

That sounds kinda crazy. But I'm really glad that there was nothing like that in my world. If Kurata had gotten his hands on a power like that, I'd hate to see what would've happened.

[Yes, don't question Utena logic]

I would hate to see what would have happened if that ever happened! Luckily, I don't think there was anyone that bad who would be willing to change the world for something like that!

At least, not in the duels?

[...Sort of]

That's good! I mean, if they aren't in the duels, then they couldn't go ahead and try to do it anyway, right?

[ Though she can't help but think that leaving all of that power as a prize ina contest was pretty dumb. ]

[Then there was an obvious pause coming from Miki]

Yes, I suppose so...

[You sound convinced there]

... Is everything okay, Miki-san?

Hm? Yes, I'm okay, I was just wondering a few things about Death City. That's all!

I was just wondering what else we could do about this place.

[Why no, he's totally not changing the subject. What are you talking about, Chika?]

[ Chika pauses, not sure where he's going with that change in subject.]

You mean with stopping the Witches? Or are you talking about something else?
