Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[sinks into the couch cushions when there are no further questions, the faint air of embarrassment hanging over him at giving such a lame explanation]

It's easy, see? But it's not something anyone here can help with, so I just have to pick up where I left off when I get back home.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Something tells me it's not nearly as easy as you make it out to be.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

...It really is that easy. "Please gather fifty S-Class Hunters."

I assume there's a catch. I just don't know what it is yet.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ FIFTY?????? ]

Didn't you say S-Classes are the rarest kind?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Sure, but there are still way more than fifty in the world. There are billions of people on Earth. And the kids--the monsters count as long as they're S-Class too.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Lethe...

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

What?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ Ugh ]

You can be all flippant and not-worried all you want, I'll worry for you.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

There's nothing to be worried about. I have a plan. You should be focusing on your sisters before anything else.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

I can manage both.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

Oh? Can you? What's your plan then?

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Be more specific.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

...Sentiment is fine. But for problems as big as this, if you don't have some kind of concrete plan to solve it, then saying "I'm worried" won't change anything. I still have to do what I have to do. Without any help.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ HUFFS ]

Well I just found out about all this!

The first step is getting to your world at all. The second step is helping to round up these S-classes you need. I could probably figure out a way to detect them if I met a few.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[mildly alarmed]

Don't do that. I'm just raising monsters now! No other S-Classes necessary. And you can't tell anyone on my world about any of this. I'm serious.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Are you joking? I'm not telling anyone anything. Your world'll explode if you so much as look at it wrong.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

It won't explode if you look at it wrong, but I don't want to have more of a mess to clean up than I already do. I'm trying to prevent it from exploding or doing anything bad. Mostly.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

Mostly.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

There are one or two things I do want to blow up. Like I said, I've got a plan.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ EVERYTHING LETHE SAYS ADDS MORE ALARM AND MORE QUESTIONS ]

Wait, you're blowing things up?!

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[he looks very unconcerned about it]

Just things that need to be blown up to begin with, don't worry. It's for the best. I'm destroying defunct systems.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ oh well that's fair ]

Mmmm... some systems do need to be blown up.

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

See? But it doesn't happen overnight either. It'll take some time. I'm not in a rush on that particular project, so don't worry about it.

Re: probably night 62

[featherduster]

[ Flicks his forehead (gently) ]

I'm still gonna worry.

You worry about my world, don't you?

Re: probably night 62

[mykidisthebest]

[rubs at his forehead]

Of course I do. You and Styx and your sisters and everyone else on your planet have had a hard time. I think it's normal to want to help.
