[Just watching her reaction to that for the moment.

Wow.

What a doozy of a memory there, Silence]

[resonantblue]

[it isn't long before she catches sight of him in the corner of her eye]

...I was not expecting a memory like this so suddenly.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then there's your answer on why they showed it to you.

[resonantblue]

So it really is all planned...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

You don't seem too upset about ---

[Hand gestures]

That.

[resonantblue]

No. I am not. Truthfully, it is not such a bad way to go... I left on my own terms within my own narrow timeframe. Because I was already dying.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Can't say I disagree with the sentiment.

[A pause and then:]

Did you know that from your previous memories?

[resonantblue]

No. Only this memory—I remembered that my body had already been cracking.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

From...? What now. Extended use?

[resonantblue]

My apologies. I do not remember that. However, it is evident I am not human, but instead a Baskerville. It could be associated with that.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I don't know what a Baskerville is outside of a town in a Sherlock Holmes novel.

[resonantblue]

...

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

. . .

What?

[resonantblue]

...nevermind.

A Baskerville is a person who is selected by the Abyss to act on its accord. In exchange for being an agent for the Abyss, we forfeit our humanity in exchange for near-immortality.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Near-immortality? That looked like bargain-bin-immortality.

[resonantblue]

Hmph.

[almost sounded like a laugh there]

To my knowledge, mortal wounds do not hurt Baskervilles. The only thing that will kill them is the power of the Abyss itself. It is practically immortality, if that caveat had not been in place.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

And who wields the power of the Abyss outside of other Baskervilles?

[resonantblue]

That goes beyond my knowledge.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

I see.

Well... it looks like you and Song have an interesting choice now. Since there may not be a place for you to go back to.

[resonantblue]

[that—takes a solid second to consider]

...it is a good thing you are taking over hell. We can stay here.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Of course. You and yours are always welcome.

Though you might see what retirement package your boss is offering. It's always good to shop around.

[resonantblue]

I did not forget that prospect either. Most of my support will go towards his endeavor, however, I want to see that both of you take over your respective domains.

...in other words, if you need my assistance with anything, let me know. Especially since this world is my home now, too.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

Then first order of business, I want you to figure out your relationship with Song.

And I'm not talking about what you were in your memories.

[resonantblue]

Our current personal affairs.

[bluescreenwhitedragon]

What does she mean to you? And what do you mean to her?

And what do you want to do together?

Surely those questions can't be that hard to answer.
