I've been hearing some rumors at work lately that Kougami-san is working on another set of Core Medals. I mean, I think he'd be more careful with them, after what happened to me with Poseidon, but...I can't help but feel a little worried about it anyway.

Should I try to talk him out of it? Or just find out more information first?

May I ask what "Core Metals" are?

[oceanicbreak]

They're the power source for a transformation device I used to use. They're based off magical artifacts created by alchemists in my world hundreds of years ago. By accident, mine got corrupted, and it created a consciousness that possessed me.

[elloran]

Was the consciousness more powerful than you?

[oceanicbreak]

Yes, a lot more. It took a lot of work from the friends I made to destroy it.

[elloran]

Did it take its power with it?

[oceanicbreak]

Yeah, it's properly sealed now. But my boss is trying to make more of those items, and I'm afraid they'll wind up with a consciousness too.

[elloran]

Is that necessarily a bad thing?

[oceanicbreak]

Creatures called Greeed usually come about because of a consciousness in the Medals. One was good, but most of them caused a lot of destruction forty years ago.

[elloran]

But cannot that destructive potential be harnessed?

[aquaticrush]

Really? Does he know what went wrong before?

[oceanicbreak]

Of course he does, which is why I wonder why he'd try again. Then again, this is Kougami-san, and I never know what he's thinking...

[aquaticrush]

Maybe he fixed the issue?

[oceanicbreak]

I hope so. But he's...somewhere between insane, eccentric, and senile.

[aquaticrush]

Should someone talk to him?

[oceanicbreak]

I think so, but I'm not sure that'll get anywhere.

[aquaticrush]

I'll try if you want!

[oceanicbreak]

Maybe together, then. He's a little...well...

[hunterofpeace]

Definitely! It sounds dangerous.

[No idea what any of that means but...]

[oceanicbreak]

So, try to stop him?

[hunterofpeace]

Whatever happened last time sounds pretty scary!

[Two nods in rapid succession.]

[oceanicbreak]

It was. I've gotten better since then, but I don't want that to happen again--to me or anyone else.

[hunterofpeace]

Then you should warn your friend before the things with the person happens.

[oceanicbreak]

Yeah, it's a good idea...

[hunterofpeace]

So...what did happen again?

[oceanicbreak]

The power of the Medals developed a consciousness, calling itself Kamen Rider Poseidon. He completely took over my mind, pushing me out. Eventually, he became strong enough to create its own body and leave mine, but that only made him more dangerous.
