[manufactured]

[...Oh, wow.]

...I see. I'd imagine so, yes.

[morgrim]

I haven't remembered anything about that organization yet, and my friend hasn't remembered much either. I guess I'll be able to tell you at some point whether he's the Pope or not!

[manufactured]

I wish His Holiness the best of luck with it, either way.

[WESKER.]

[morgrim]

He's already told me not to call him that, which takes most of the fun out of it. He's got no sense of humor.

[manufactured]

That is unfortunate. If your past life is going to be ridiculous like that, the least you can do is make comments about it once in a while.

[morgrim]

Yeah, exactly! Seems silly not to take advantage of something as ridiculous as that. If I was the Pope in my past life, you can bet I'd insist on having everyone refer to me that way!

[manufactured]

It is possible that you were something equally ridiculous, you know.

[morgrim]

I'm kind of hoping I was just a random fighter, because if they let me into the church, I really don't want to know what kind of church they're running.

[manufactured]

Don't be surprised if it was terrible; past lives involving religions or gods tend to be.

[morgrim]

I can imagine. I haven't gotten any indications that I was doing anything great, anyway. I did have a cat though, so at least there's that.

[manufactured]

[...He does not see how these things connect, but okay.]

Well, even if it is terrible, you're far from the only ones dealing with such things.

[morgrim]

[most people wouldn't.]

Seems that way. A lot of people seem to be struggling with their memories.

What about you? How've yours been treating you?

[manufactured]

I've been on the network for almost two years, so I'm accustomed to them by now. They're..."interesting", is possibly the politest way to put it.

[morgrim]

That long, huh? Sorry, sounds like that'd be a total pain in the ass. Have you remembered everything about your past life or does it take longer than a couple of years to get there?

[manufactured]

I believe I've remembered almost everything, yes. My past life had difficulties remembering his childhood due to his circumstances, so I imagine those memories are permanently lost, but to my knowledge I've recalled everything else.

[morgrim]

Two years, huh... I guess it'll take awhile for me to figure out everything, but with any luck I'll at least learn what I was like in my past life. Right now, I've got no clue.

[manufactured]

You'll likely know that before too long. I was a terrible person, myself.

[He's prevented from elaborating, however, when they run into one of those monsters that tend to hang out around here. Crab worm larva, from the look of it.]

...Well. Have fun and have at.

[morgrim]

[He's really tempted to ask, but... Well, there is a monster to deal with. You're spared for now, at least!!

Shigure swings the sword a bit as though to get a feel for it; it's a bit heavier than he was expecting, but it shouldn't be too bad. The crab worm larva skitters closer, launching itself at Shigure once it gets close.]

Whoa, hey, cut me some slack, I'm new at this!

[Of course it isn't going to listen, and Shigure just kind of... flails the sword for a moment while he tries to figure out how to use the damn thing. He finally does manage to land a hit; it's nowhere near strong enough to take out the monster, but it's a surprisingly clean swipe for someone who has no idea what he's doing. Shigure backs up a bit, looking far too proud of himself for that.]

Hah, okay, like that. Got it.

[And... there goes the monster, burying underground. Uh. Bye???]

[manufactured]

[It'll be back eventually; they do that.]

You're doing better than you could be, at any rate.

[morgrim]

Thanks. It's not as easy as it looks! The sword's got more weight to it than I would've expected—

[And there it is, popping up near Shigure to try to take a bite out of Shigure's ankles. His default is to kick the thing in the face, only to follow up with a downward slash that... misses and hits the ground just beside the thing, but there it goes again, burying its way underground to avoid getting smacked again.

I'll get it with practice, I'm sure.

[Look out, this time it'll pop up near you.]

[manufactured]

[I mean, he could do something useful here, but why do that when he can just. move.

You're going to get an idea that his speed and reflexes...aren't quite human, but he's going to get out of the way of the thing either way.]

Well, I'm not going to stop you from getting practice in.

[morgrim]

[...Whoa. If that's how fast you can move... that's really impressive. Would he even be able to land a hit on you?

He kind of wants to find out, but now really isn't the time. That's fine, he'll come after the monster, ready to try again.]

It's appreciated!

[The crab worm larvae spits some kind of purple acid at Shigure, but he's able to dodge most of it and get in close. The sword comes down another time, this time succeeding in hitting and severely damaging the thing. It starts to bury its way underground again, and he brings the sword down once more.]

Oh no you don't! I'm not done with you yet!

[That hit does it in, and the monster quits moving.

Shigure wonders if he should have a reaction that isn't excitement, but hey, look at what he did!!]

All right! That was fun!

[...Oh ouch, right, he kind of got hit by the acid; it's not too bad of an injury or anything, but it did catch his left arm, just below the elbow.]

Ah, shit. Guess I was being a little careless.

[manufactured]

...I keep first aid supplies in the car, should you need them.

[...you'll probably be fine? but.]

[morgrim]

Might be good to slap something on it when we get back.

[He moves his arm a bit to test it before shrugging.]

It's not like there's pain or anything, it should be fine!

[With that said, he'll keep heading out.]

C'mon, let's see if we can find another one!

[manufactured]

If you insist.

[Let's go, then.]
