Merriment 3 - Evening (Video post w/ Kaiba & Atem)

[almukhtar]

( Two faces appear, one might be more familiar than the other. Both look Quite Serious™. The one with the bonkers hair starts first. )

I’ll be candid. ( He thought initially to not say anything but as the number of people coming forward grew. Well. His mind had changed. ) Many of us have received and are speaking about a vision. An overwhelming sense of fear and sorrow. A chaos I’ve never experienced before. ( And he’s been through Some Shit as many of them have. )

( Kaiba chimes in. ) And that reminded me of the end of our last mission. The swirling colors, the terror and rage. The massive entity that we’re allegedly up against. Anyone else getting the same feeling?

( Atem speaks once more, after a brief silence. Get ready for teamwork speech. ) While comparing notes, I feel it is equally important to consider action plans. We may only have vague premonitions, but with this potential connection and our combined skills and abilities, we may be able to better prepare for what’s next.

Oh -- this is not usually the case? ( Interesting. )

[helborn]

Not in my personal experience. Which is... limited, and usually it's been people scarred by the same sort of thing as I was - at least before I came here.

[almukhtar]

If I may ask, what's been your experience since being here? This too is different from how I experience things.

[helborn]

Since coming here? People have had different visions of different parts of the mission's world. Like... puzzle pieces from the same picture, but from different sections of it. If that makes sense?

[almukhtar]

So this is unprecedented that thus far, all the visions are the same. Certainly not good news.

[helborn]

In my experience. I dislike dealing with omens as much as the next guy, but this seems like a particularly nasty one.

[almukhtar]

It does. ( Even the idea of being so unprepared unsettles him. ) I fear I have such little knowledge here and another spoke of how little time there is between these visions and the events occurring...

[helborn]

Right. The trouble is figuring out what causes that branching path - if it's even literal. One thing's for sure.

We're not done with the illusions.

[almukhtar]

Indeed, I think we certainly are not.
