[In the middle of a restless night, Akechi addresses the radio.]

One thing has become abundantly clear since my arrival: the vast majority of us hail from different times, if not different worlds.

[He pauses, letting that sink in.]

For instance, I'm from Japan in the year 2017. However, it is specifically the same version of Japan shared by Akihiko Sanada and Naoto Shirogane... in the future. That places the three of us in a shared reality, but not the same point in time.

However, our version of Japan has endured a number of odd, even supernatural occurrences, such as a "Dark Hour" and, more recently, the vigilante work of a group of "Phantom Thieves" who quite literally changed the hearts of wicked adults through the use of a parallel, cognitive world.

[His voice remains calm, if tinged with a subtle weariness.]

But that is far from universal. In my time here, I have encountered a talking turtle from a world where yokai and mutants are real. I've spoken with someone who had been sent into a digital world, like an isekai protagonist. I even had to explain the concept of religion to Serph-san, as well what a horse is.

[...]

All this to say, it may be worthwhile to cross reference the worlds and time periods we hail from. If nothing else, it may help us discern patterns that could in turn heighten our understanding of our present circumstances.

The...cognitive world?

[He's not even sure he knows the work 'cognitive.']

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2025-02-23 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Uh...

[Yeah he doesn't get it. It sounds big and complicated so he doubts he'd ever understand it.]

I-I don't think we had that. Or...um, I guess I wouldn't know?

[Whatever. It probably didn't matter anyway.]

[It's spent enough time listening to this to drop a full five percentage points in performance reliability. It's been wanting to classify all these as corporate colonist humans being uninformed, but the more it listens, the more it sounds like a plot point from one of its extremely unrealistic adventure shows, where the protagonist gets scooped into another world or sent back in time, or turned into something else entirely to learn a lesson about humility or love or something.

The kind that definitely aren't fucking real. Its education modules are shit but they're not that shit. So, when it finally speaks up, it's without introduction or sharing its own information.]


If you really think it's multiverse bullshit comparison of names and dates won't mean much. Especially when we don't know fuck-all about where or when we are, compared to what we're used to.

Yeah...

[At the very least he's never heard of any of the countries Akechi mentioned.]
constantvrunning: (Surprised)

[personal profile] constantvrunning 2025-02-23 07:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[Well that's... alarming. Those who learned to manipulate exotic forces likely had their own 'untraceable murder' prospects, but that makes this no less disturbing to hear about.]

Does it look like a heart attack? Or does the body as a whole just stop functioning?
solitarysoul: commisioned art (hmm)

[personal profile] solitarysoul 2025-02-23 09:47 pm (UTC)(link)
That's true...I wonder if they had some skills whoever brought us here though would be useful?
constantvrunning: (Disturbed)

So we would know if something like that happens here.

[Because uh. Yikes. Good thing V is sticking to text, they don't really want to broadcast their raw reaction to such an image...]
constantvrunning: (Side-Eye Time)

Switching between tags and reading your latest chapter like ;A; Akechi...

[... There definitely sounds like there's more to the story.

But it doesn't quite sound like something V should keep asking about. Not now, anyway.]

So the chances it could happen here are vastly reduced, then.

did covid happen in the rottmnt timeline? let's not speculate lol

[He's not wrong. Magic is pretty lit. Even if Leo isn't as good at it as his brothers...

But never mind.]


Uhh... well, if you're looking for the lottery numbers, I didn't memorize them. I can give you all the updates on the next three March Madness...es... the next three of those!

[Thinking about his possible previous life makes his thoughts run in circles so he snips that thread of conversation before he can start on it. Instead, speaking of being reborn...]

If your world makes stories about rebirth... You don't know what happens after you die?

[Rebirth was mentioned in Blake's message and after conversations with others, he can't help but wonder if knowing definitively what happens after you die is common at all.]

You think it's targeted.

[It's not as sure that Akechi thinks that as the way it states the question implies, nor that Akechi actually thinks that, but it's had to take this tactic with humans making assumptions before (and had that tactic infuriatingly turned right back on it by ART), so it continues.]

If it's about how and why we ended up here, you should collect information about what was happening before while you're at it.

Oh, for sure. My world was two worlds once, but then they got all tangled up with each other until we came and undid all the knots.

[The next part is a bit less cheerful sounding:] Of course, I didn't get to see how it all turned out because I ended up here instead.
