I’ve Done It

Ya I just am not really good at landing.

That’s good, I hope you get better at it in the future

… that’s an impossible thing to hope for though. Oh is your name Sora?!?

It is, what’s your name?

My name is Messager. It neat to meet you. I got a box for you. (He holds out the box to Sora)

Nice to meet you too, Messager

*Sora takes the box and opens it*

(The box contains a pair of glow in the dark earrings, glow in the bracelet, a black headband, two hockey masks, three baan ewer, one black fedora, a wolf skull, one lava lamp, a baby killbird bird, ten sweet corn, and ten spaghetti donuts)

*He picks up the bird*

Is this alive?

(the bird looks up at Sora)

I think so. I don’t think it’s undead.

Okay, that’s good

*He waits several seconds before carefully balancing the bird on his head*

(Messager clicks his tongue before tilting his head)

Did the bird disappear?

Oh, no, I still have it

Ohhh

It’s a nice bird, though

That is true. Has your day gotten better with this bird?

I’d say so, absolutely

May I ask you what species do you belong to?

You can ask that, I’m not sure you can get an accurate and straightforward answer, however

Does that mean you don’t really know what you are?

No, I know, it’s just complicated

Huh

Do you want me to try?

Ya

Uh, if we’re going by parental lineage alone, then I’d be a demigod, but some things have happened that would skew that a bit

That sounds pretty neat.

If you say so

Ya I just am not really good at landing.

That’s good, I hope you get better at it in the future

Yes, it is.

What were you going to do with them, again?

To banish Tartarus’s active presence in this reality.

Yeah but what’s the procedure you want to do to get that done

By harnessing the power of the Great Dodecahedrons, you can direct a blast of pure energy powerful enough to directly affect the being of Tartarus.

how are you going to harness their power though

By asking nicely.

who told you that would work?

That was a joke. They connect to the holder’s thoughts and do what you want.

Oh, alright, when did you learn all this?

Like I’ve said, while I was researching the topic in Alexandria.

When, though?

That doesn’t matter, but it was in… No, that can’t be right…

What year is it?

It’s late 2016

Hm. I see. That does raise a number of questions.

Which questions?

I was born in 1886. I began studying Tartarus and the Dodecahedrons in 1929. Apparently, I lost 87 years of my life without realizing it, without aging, and surviving long beyond life expectancy.

Although…

Although what?

[There is a long pause before Surat answers.]

Oh. Yes, I remember now. After a long time, Tartarus took notice of my efforts. He came in disguise and told me about the workings of the Dodecahedrons and their properties. Later, after gaining my trust, he revealed himself and asked for a last request. I said I wanted to continue working to stop him. He laughed, and the world went blank.

I suppose he must have thought that would be amusing, and honored my wish.

Sorry, what did he do?

I would presume that was the point at which he killed me.

Oh, alright, uh, I’m sorry for your loss?

Okay.

Do you want to continue with your plan, then?
