Viewing Party 2 - R3: THE RE-CRY-ENING

[misanthropicprinciple]

We got castmates. We got clues. We got crap to bitch about. They get a library? And a LAUNDRY MACHINE?

Welcome, murderfam... TO THE R3 LIVEWATCH.

In the past as in...back at home? [Jane hums, thoughtful.] Honestly, it depends primarily on their form and the function they've been programmed for. Dirk's could fight, certainly, but they had instructions to do so only in specific situations.

[daughterofthemark]

Not strictly at home, but in my world, yes. We encountered similar beings in the Heavenly Keep which attempted to halt our progress.

[...]

Perhaps the arrival of explorers was a situation in which they were instructed to fight.

[cyan_maid]

...It's possible.

[Etrian Odyssey world is so weird.]

[daughterofthemark]

...I wonder whether any of them were like Sir Heart or Dame Wilhelmina.

[cyan_maid]

That's something they are going to have to find out in our stead.

[daughterofthemark]

[Arianna nods, staying quiet for a moment...]

I wonder if Dame Frederica knew the Overlord.

[cyan_maid]

...Pardon? The who?

[daughterofthemark]

The Overlord.

[Oh, right, she hasn't actually mentioned this to anyone.]

A once-human being who ruled the Heavenly Keep. He had worked on the Yggdrasil Project.

[cyan_maid]

Um...I suppose she could have. I don't believe she mentioned anyone by that name.

[But she was in suspended animation for 1K years so it's very likely.]

[daughterofthemark]

It was likely not his true name. Though if not, we never learned it.

[Sigh.]

I had thought he was the last of his era. Now I have learned another still lived... and I only just missed her.

[cyan_maid]

...We'll get her back, Arianna. We'll get everyone back. You know? And then - then we can all be together and figure out what we want to do and where to go. I truly believe those who aren't here with us at least want to take their shot at the ones responsible for this.

[daughterofthemark]

...I have been giving that matter some thought, actually. What to do and where to go, after all this is over.

[cyan_maid]

You know, I look at it like...we'll have all the universe open to us, right? And likely an option to go to our homes if we wish. I'm not holding onto a specific plan myself, just hoping that life can lead me towards what's best for me.
