I am fine. [...he still needs to hurl up all that junk he swallowed during the Pod event, oops. Maybe it's burned off by now???]

Do you know if any of the others arrived alongside you? [He's trying not to specifically ask about the Shining One.] This place is dangerous, and I cannot access the akashic record here. Being separated is a very bad idea.

[shounen_chump]

Hmm? No, I haven't seen anyone... I was just gonna ask if you've seen him around, too.

[Yeah he totally knows Saiduq was indirectly asking about ~The Shining One~ okay.

He's not dumb.]

[viditlibertas]

-Ah. I see.

[He's let down, a little embarrassed, and slightly surprised his wish was that transparent. Whoops. But he's glad he didn't have to say it- especially when he knows that Joe understands Alcor isn't just not worrying about the others. Just...Shining One.]

You will want to keep your phone on you, just in case. Monsters are prone to wandering. They are less of a threat than the Septentriones and Polaris, however.

[shounen_chump]

[Look it's okay buddy.

Love is a beautiful and magical thing, no matter the gender! Or....species, more like.

Whaaaaaaatever, the point is he found somebody he knows, even better that it's somebody he thought he'd never see again! And that's enough to make his day just a little brighter.]

Got it!

[...And to also remember to...charge your phone, Joe.

Remember that.]

[viditlibertas]

[And for some odd reason, Alcor suddenly feels this odd sense of foreboding. Like Joe does not...'got it', and instead 'got' something else.

Huh. Odd.]

...have you eaten yet?

[Baby steps. Yes, let's just...take baby steps.]

[shounen_chump]

[Wow, he never thought he'd hear Saiduq asking that...]

No. Why, are ya hungry?

[He pauses, his train of thought veering very very hard to the left.]

...Do you get hungry, or...?

[Is that rude to ask?

Maybe he should ask anyway just so he knows.]

[viditlibertas]

The first thing you have to eat here is oatmeal. I don't want you to get sick if you eat something else.

[I hope you're ready for some intense DADDING on Saiduq's part!!!!!]

I do not need to eat. It's...not very pleasant, in my experience.

[Idly, he rested his hands on his upper torso. Because that is where a stomach clearly is.]

[shounen_chump]

[Well, that's a little.....odd?]

...Isn't that kinda weird? Is there something in the food here that makes you get sick?

[...Wait, why is he asking Saiduq, he probably wouldn't even know.]

Ah, well, you probably just had a run of bad luck. Eating's pretty great!

[Says the guy who gets in the mood for noodles and beef bowls every time he has a near-death experience.]

[viditlibertas]

Nobody has been able to explain it. I suspect those in charge here don't have the time to discuss such nuances, either.

[star for "kanyeshrug".]

...I was eating balut and century eggs. It was...

[How to word it...??]

It was less a taste, and more a smell.

[shounen_chump]

[....Joe makes....a face.

It's difficult to place what's going on with his face, exactly, but it looks like a cross between "i want to vomit now" and "i feel so sorry for you oh my god"]

Yeesh. [He almost wants to ask how that even happened, if he didn't need to eat anything, but anyway...] What kind of place are they running here?

[....Joe.

Joe, dear.

This isn't a nice place, Joe.

Get that through your head.]

[viditlibertas]

This tower is said to be a rescue base, to save those who have their worlds destroyed. I am dubious...I saw nothing of this magnitude on the record.

[Joe, Joe plz listen to Alcor this time-]

I do not think it is the work of Polaris, at any rate. But for even him to have not forseen it...

[shounen_chump]

[See, that's what he was thinking!]

Right? And anyway, you're here so at least the world's safe, in a way.

[Yeah! Saiduq's safe and wait wait what did Joe just say?]

[viditlibertas]

[Okay. He, has to think about this.

For a minute.

While also staring blankly at Joe.]

...we had yet to defeat Polaris. I doubt we will have much of a chance, now.

[...right...?]

[shounen_chump]

[............Um.]

...N.....nooooo?

[Man where have you even been, aside from...you know, here?]

That's not what I remember!

[viditlibertas]

[....................er.]

What do you...remember...?

[Alcor doesn't hesitate.

He is hesitating.]

[shounen_chump]

Uh, that we won? Because we're...awesome?

[Duh, geez.]

Are you sure you're okay? You don't remember any of that?

1/?????? ARE YOU RRRRREADY

[viditlibertas]

[We won.

We won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won we won-]

...I.

2/??????

[viditlibertas]

[Logically, this makes sense. People come from different times, here- he's seen this before in the tower. But it's...he... They won, they did it. They made the new world- what the Shining One had dreamed of.

If he were capable of crying, he would be. As it was, Alcor stood stock-still and seemed to be a little quivery.]

The last thing I recall is coming to fight the true form of Polaris. I...was taken before we could continue the fight.

3/3???

[viditlibertas]

[Finally, Alcor curled his elbows in to his chest, eyes downcast but...smiling. So wide it would have hurt.]

We...we really did it.

[shounen_chump]

Yeah, man! [He gives Saiduq a more than generous backpat and a thumbs up.]

And it worked! He... [Joe pauses a little, thinking of how to phrase this.

"Stop! Come back!"]

...He's really happy, you know? We all are. I'm just glad you're safe.

[viditlibertas]

[The Shining One's happy- his dream was realized. All they fought for had born fruit, and mankind was free to choose their own destiny.]

I'm so glad he's happy...

[Safe- oh, right. If he had taken the seat, then...would he even be here right now? Would he have been gone, along with the rest of their universe? It made him feel oddly, cold.]

...but I cannot let our new world be destroyed, if that is so. There must be something we can do.

[shounen_chump]

I know, right? I mean, I figured the letter was lying or something, but now that you're here, I'm not...sure what happened? I mean, if you were taken before anything happened, we'd just have to...what, send you back to that point I guess?

[Somehow?

Starbro how would that work tho.]

[viditlibertas]

Basically, yes. Those who are here seem to have some grasp on their version of the akashic record- meaning, they can take people from various times and universes. It would be a simple matter to return us.

[Simple to a star who grew up knowing the path of time.]

...but they claim we haven't a world to return to. I am not sure I believe that, though I have no proof. They claim the process is random.

[shounen_chump]

Random, huh?

[Random, he says.]

If it's random, then what are the chances of us running into each other here, exactly?

[The beautiful thing about Joe is that when he actually applies himself, he's a pretty smart cookie! First person to point out the Septentriones were going after the towers, first person to figure out what Nicaea and the demon app is actually for, first person to figure out that the destruction all across Japan wasn't caused by earthquakes.

And now that his friend needs his help, he's instantly on the ball again.]

It'd be pretty slim, wouldn't it?

[viditlibertas]

[Also the person who called him Syduck earlier, but hey- everyone has their weaknesses.]

Yes. The odds are nigh but impossible to calculate. They also have utilized people in experimentation that goes beyond cruel...

[Oh, I guess it's time to invade Joe's personal space bubble!!!!!]

I believe they simply wish to pacify us until they can understand what they are doing.
