::So, Shian, you've tried to get into contact with Noriko, and presumably since she's being Noriko and thus impossible to get a hold of her when you need her, you try to get to her office.

Where you find what feels like Noriko but evil ordering the papers on Noriko's desk. How do you engage?::

Comments

[memoryistime]

*Honestly? I don't want to.

But I need answers to various things and Noriko isn't around, so they clear their throat to get your attention.*

[the8thmonarch]

::Twirls around, looking defensive.::

Iswearididntdisappearsomeoneintothebermudatriangleagain.

[memoryistime]

*You got Shian staring at you for that.

... and then they shrug.*

Hey, you know where Noriko might've decided to hide at right now? I've been wanting to ask her something, but she's dodging me.

[the8thmonarch]

... Hide?

::Stares at you.::

She took a family vacation and is driving through the 12 Dimensions in a Winnebago. I swore she mentioned this to people.

[memoryistime]

Oh. Damnit, she didn't mention that she had left already.

[the8thmonarch]

Well the point of a vacation is to not have responsibilities weighing on your shoulders all the damn time.

And my sister really hates being responsible for anything, shortstack.

::Hops up onto the desk, legs crossed.::

[memoryistime]

Ugggh. *Shian makes an aggravated sound, before throwing their hands up*

Fine. New plan.

Do you know what the World Chalice is?

[the8thmonarch]

::Twirls her hair playfully.::

... The card or the actual artifact the card is based on.

[memoryistime]

The artifact, apparently.

[the8thmonarch]

Of what lore I can draw from my sister's head...

Ugh, let's see... It's essentially an engine, a world altering engine, and like any artifact of its kind, it's associated with leaving ruin in its wake, and seems to have a life but no mind.

Though it is believed to of been host to a mind at one point, that manipulated children into helping it do its dirty work.

[memoryistime]

Well, apparently now a robot king has it, so what can you make of that specifically?

[the8thmonarch]

We'll all be cute robot girls, maybe?

[memoryistime]

I dunno if that's this guy's end game.

Also do you know what... *gets out their phone, checks the notes* "Sargasso" is?

[the8thmonarch]

"Sargasso the D.D. Battlefield".

A site of major wars, including where the original Da Eiza was fought to a stand still before being thrust out of all known space and time. It is basically on the beach shores of stable reality, and is a doorway to the Ettosylet.

Think of it as the Bermuda Triangle of the Different Dimensions. Various mishmash and debris end up there, including from timelines that simply failed to conclude properly, fell apart, or faded, but it's mostly dominated by broken battleships and space battle fleets.

It also happens to be extremely poisonous to Xyz Monsters.

[memoryistime]

Huh, well.

Apparently this same robot king managed to get a working ship out of there. And he used the World Chalice to eat the big Numbers Prison-- "Tartarus"-- that was being used before to round them up. It was being decommissioned, apparently.

[the8thmonarch]

Then I'll tell the nerd down at OOPARTS to deal with it.

[memoryistime]

Oh, he already is.

I'm "assisting" in the sense that I have nothing to do for a while here, and Noriko seemed like the best one to ask about stuff pertaining to the Different Dimension.

[the8thmonarch]

... We could go out for lunch.

[memoryistime]

*now, is this a general invite, or is she saying she'll talk more if I go out to lunch...

... eh, either way.*

Sure, why not. I'm peckish.

[the8thmonarch]

I feel like Fusion Cuisine. Mexican with Japanese.

::Pops a purse into existence.::

[memoryistime]

Yeah, yeah. That's fine with me. *Whatever that entails, anyway.*
