Hey, it's been a hot minute since I've been on Earth. (Hot minute in this case is a few months).

How's everything going and where can I find enough skin for half of a human child about 11 or 12 years old.

[Event Post]

::You can run into Setsu in one of four locations. In any case, she's now decked out in gold armor and a crown and a cape. Clearly something has happened.

A) The 'embassy' booth in Domino.

B) Loitering outside OOPARTS' Domino Office. Possibly with groceries.

C) On Aquaria Island, the artificial space elevator island BV is constructing.

D) Around Kaikori, scouting the place out.::

... ... Skin?

Re: [Journal]

My kid had their lower half blown off in a fight with an officer with B.E.A.S.T. during Halloween.

I need skin to graft back on.

Re: [Journal]

[thefrozenstorm]

I'm surprised you don't have facilities for that at your disposal already... And that your child was involved in something so dangerous.

Re: [Journal]

[for_a_purpose]

We have the facilities to reconstruct their Duel Spirit form. We're a robot race, Sekou. We're not particularly skilled about the human flesh suits.

And it was their choice to do so while acting in official capacity as ambassador and Crown Scion and a member of the Oversight Council for B.E.A.S.T.

I mean they're 11, up to them what they wanna do.

Also, do you want to rejoin us?

Re: [Journal]

[thefrozenstorm]

I feel like you ask that every time we talk...

Re: [Journal]

[for_a_purpose]

Look, I have a duty to ask. You're very compatible with us.

And I have a duty as Empress to be doubly aggressive about it.

Re: [Journal]

[thefrozenstorm]

I'm still not committed to rejoining the illustrious Hyperborean forces, thank you.

Re: [Journal]

[for_a_purpose]

Can we at least consider you an ally since your significant other is an ally of ours?

Re: [Journal]

[thefrozenstorm]

Ally is fine, yes.

So, how's things on your end, besides Ailina burning half of the other unaligned demon lords?

George is relaxing from mid-terms, and the divines are dragging him around the town. In there monster forms, as they time to tour sites as flesh and blood (or well fire and lighting) beings. When they walk upon the embassies.

::She's reading a book at her lemonade stand esque booth.::

[dragun83]

“Watch you reading?”

[for_a_purpose]

Oh, just a novel about the return of magic to the world.

::Smiles lightly, putting it aside.::

[ Loiter around OOPARTS, and you're liable to run into Onni - probably outside the building, taking a quick break, guzzling down a beverage as he spots you, Setsu. ]

Setsu, hey. It's been a minute - business or pleasure, today?

Re: [Event]

[for_a_purpose]

Wish it was pleasure, but business.

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

A shame, but it's fine. My break was nearly up anyway.

[ Crushes the can one-handed, as he tosses it into a streetside waste receptacle. ]

What can I do for you and our friends in Hyperborea today, Setsu?

Re: [Event]

[for_a_purpose]

A laundry list unfortunately, hopefully most of it can be resolved by talking and understanding.

First off. Empress Setsu for formality's sake but we can put it aside afterwards.

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

Right, yes, of course, Empress Setsu. Forgive me, I wasn't briefed on the state of affairs from Hyperborea - I must have missed when your coronation was made formal.

You have my deepest congratulations, of course.

[ He eventually leads you inside. People are probably busy - there's a lot more temp aides given, uh, everything that's happened since Halloween, he makes sure they give you all a wide berth as he beelines to his office. ]

If it's something that can be resolved by talking and understanding, you of course have my ear - it's been very eventful since Halloween, as I suspect you've already been briefed.

Re: [Event]

[for_a_purpose]

::Plops herself down on a chair in your office once we arrived.::

Yes. I was behind a few of the things involved. So would you like a huge list dropped at once or go through item by item.

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Slides behind his desk, flipping a few switches under it. Blinds close, lights brighten, you hear the click of the door locking behind you and the small bubbling of a coffee maker come to life. ]

Let's go through it item by item. If we could start with how you contributed to things on Halloween just so all my notes are caught up with yours, and then we can move into whatever issues are greatest priority and work our way down.

Re: [Event]

We developed the bracelet that's responsible for why my child's half-sister isn't a dark goddess with a mean girl personality.

Also, my dear child may have pushed Kamala to godhood so they'd have a queen to marry.

Re: [Event]

[becomeanwarrior]

...I have a sneaking suspicion five years from now everyone is going to call me Uncle Onni. But that's neither here nor there.

But, okay, yes, the bracelet. Noriko briefed me a bit on it, so I know the very basics - it's acting as a sort of focus that's pinning specifically her Signer powers to her, which is what's keeping that whole knot together, right?

Re: [Event]

[for_a_purpose]

Correct. It's binding the power of the Ancient Fairy Signer and the Crimson Dragon's mark to the Crimson Devil's Dark Signer Mark, the Fae Royal Jelly, and the unusually high psychic energy she got touched by from being born and raised in The Warp. Or a Warp adjacent space.
