My... isn't this...?

[This guy would be peering closely at the 'camera' except he doesn't really have eyes to peer with.]

Hello again, community. If this is not, in fact, the book I used to access the community a few months ago, I will feel silly. Thankfully no one else is here to listen to me.

For those who remember us from four months ago, Eimi is doing well, although she has not yet regained access. For those who do not, my name is Nessiah. I'm known as a prophet, and am currently a tactician for a private army. I'd like to ask if those I've known are still members.

A question is necessary for most to take interest, if I recall correctly. When do you give up on something?

Well, hello there~ It appears that you just couldn't leave the community, could you?

[ video ]

[grancenturio]

I had started to believe that it had left me. I should have known better, it seems.

[soulfist]

I've heard that no one can really get away from this place.

[grancenturio]

I disagree. It is possible, merely uncommon.

[baaaaseball]

When do you give up...

Never, until you feel what you are working for is not worth the effort you're putting in.

[grancenturio]

A good answer.

[baaaaseball]

What makes you ask? I can see you're no stranger to the community, though being a new member myself, I don't believe we've met.

[grancenturio]

It's merely an inquiry designed to attract people who I haven't met. I would like to see who joined in my absence.

[baaaaseball]

I see. That's understandable. I myself am a new member, by the communities time, I only joined around a month ago. Kyousuke Natsume.

[grancenturio]

It is a pleasure. Would you prefer Kyousuke or Natsume? In my world family names are rarely used, but it's different in other places.

[baaaaseball]

Kyousuke, but I know there are other Kyousuke's on the community, so I'm fine with whichever. May I ask for your name?

[grancenturio]

Nessiah.

[tenminutes]

I figured you died or something.

[ It's a joke. Isn't it funny? Waiting for laughter now kthx ]

[grancenturio]

[That actually does get a chuckle.]

I'm afraid not.

[tenminutes]

[ ...Someone who found her jokes funny! 8| HUZZAH. ]

Welcome back.

[grancenturio]

Thank you. It's good to return.

[tenminutes]

Anything fun happen while you were gone?

[grancenturio]

Nothing that I can consider to be fun. But my interests are rather limited.

[tenminutes]

Okay, anything exciting or interesting?

[grancenturio]

A nearby city was burned and our troop had to stop the ransacking. It was quite an event.

[tenminutes]

That's definitely not fun. Everything turned out okay?

[grancenturio]

Indeed. We even turned an enemy into a valuable ally in the process. And reconstruction is going well, to boot.

[tenminutes]

Enemies to allies is the best way for things to end.

[grancenturio]

Much more convenient than the reverse.

[tenminutes]

Less painful, too.

[grancenturio]

I assume that this being the community, I missed any number of exciting, interesting, or awful events.

[tenminutes]

We had no real viruses since November until this month. Maybe you brought them back with you.

[grancenturio]

While I'm flattered, that isn't one of my abilities.

[tenminutes]

Maybe they just like you then?

[grancenturio]

I haven't suffered many myself, but I appreciate the opportunity.

[tenminutes]

You like the viruses?

[grancenturio]

Admittedly, they're unpleasant when they happen to you, but...

[tenminutes]

They can be really useful when they happen to other people.

[grancenturio]

Exactly.

[tenminutes]

Well. Theoretically useful. Still working on it a little bit.

[grancenturio]

How is that going, by the way? Pursuing the control of the community.

[tenminutes]

Since when was I pursuing control? I'm just trying to avoid viruses at this point. WHich worked for a few months.

[grancenturio]

Hm. I wonder what caused the shift, since I doubt my return is what's related.

[tenminutes]

I doubt it too. I think it caught onto how we were blocking the viruses. [ Sighs. ]

[grancenturio]

It is more intelligent than many give it credit for.
