malnosso | [Locked Against Malnosso]

Well, first of all, I expect you're all a bit cross with me given the past two weeks. No doubt there's more than just a few of you who wished you had got a piece of me while you had the chance, aha! I shan't apologize for it. I suspect it won't make much of a difference and I'm afraid it was quite necessary.

But I shall give you an explanation of sorts! To put it quite simply, I've moved in! There's been a bit of trouble with the organization, I'm afraid. I'm afraid with the war effort going so poorly, the renegades have been becoming more daring and the security forces continue to do whatever they please. I'm afraid you have all felt the brunt of that in the recent battles you've been called into. I'm reluctant to say that it will happen again and I won't be involved at all. I won't be able to speak on your behalf.

As for myself, I've become a bit unpopular. So before someone attempts to take my place, I've decided I might lie low a bit. And as everyone knows, there's nowhere in this world quite as peaceful and secure as Luceti! I did use some deception getting in using the latest experiment, but I'm afraid it was the only way I could ever safely arrive in the village without risk to my life. An old man like myself wouldn't have lasted long against you all. Oh! I do hope none of you mess about with those nasty beasts about. They weren't after any of you, they were just looking for me.

You may also have noticed I brought an assistant with me. I have some contacts in the organization who will gladly supply those various conveniences you enjoy so much. She'll be assisting in these transfers, so please, don't be shocked if you hear her lovely young voice answering you. Molly's a bit shy, but she means well. Aha, I'm afraid she's even a little taken to all of you. She's not very happy with how I do things at all.

Nevertheless, take heart! I don't plan to be here forever. I will return to head the company again in due time. It may start to look a bit grim, like your early days, but it's always darkest before the dawn. Or is it the other way around?

[Filtered to John]

Oh, Great One, I do hope you'll forgive me for that bit of fun with the festival. But you do deserve it! I only wish you would have come out to enjoy it!

But I'm afraid I must ask something of you. I've scrambled the journal system's signal to prevent real time monitoring by the Organization, but I suspect it won't be long before they catch on. I thought, perhaps, you might be able to come up with something a bit more permanent?

So are we expected to protect you now? Is that it?

Goodness no! I'm afraid in these matters you wouldn't be very good at it. No no, I'll continue to protect you as always, my boy!

Wait...protect us from what?

[Selphie doesn't trust her voice right now. Not. At. All. She's tired of all this nonsense and she keeps trying to make the best of it but when you give her exactly what she's always wanted, it really gets her to her breaking point pretty quick.]

Why? Why do you have to be so cruel?

Someone has to.

Why?

You are walking boldly into this place?

Well, I wouldn't have called it boldly.

[It's too easy, there has to be a catch.]

And how will you defend yourself from me? I have long relished the mere thought of crushing you in my fangs.

[Someone's still upset from yesterday; that's something which won't be changing for a while. Not after this experiment. Even if it was for the sake of his safety, then... why? Why did it have to be that detailed?

You're not exactly her favorite person right now, Bil. And, overcome by her emotions, she'll actually speak up for once here.]

Why...? Why couldn't it have been something else!?

Because it had to be this way, I'm afraid.

[ He actually hasn't really held much against Bil before, but. ]

You're really a bastard, huh.

I may very well be! Unfortunately I really have no clue about my mother and father's relationship.

[ And for a moment, he actually almost responds to that.

Instead, he slams the journal shut. He cannot even deal with you, Bil. ]

I don't want you to think I toss this word about without need, but you, sir, are a coward.

I can certainly see how you would see that.

Where did those memories come from?

A Shift! But our IT crew, brilliant lads really, composed a rather complex programs to form the memories. Our psychologists then worked out how to apply them to the memory center of the brain, and then a Shift was arranged to temporarily overlay existing memories with new ones. It all comes down to simple science!

[Well, some explanation is better than none, isn't it? Although, in her opinion, the really important bits are conspicuously missing.]

Was there no other way besides changing our memories?

. . .And what do you mean by "grim"?

Mind control had been suggested, but it was ultimately decided free will was far too important to simply be removed.

Normally I couldn't give a rat's ass who is running things as long as they leave me the hell alone. But you all don't seem to be capable of that. If I find out you've fucked with anything of mine though, you can bet your ass you'll have more to be afraid of than a few half-dead dogs.

[There's some grumbling and finally a sigh. Even if he wants to tear this guy a new one for messing with them...]

But if this Molly is listening, I guess that makes you the people I have to deal with. And if she doesn't like how you're doing things, she's even higher on my list. I want a television. That's all. I don't even care if it's got a ten-inch screen. I'm sick of staring at the walls.

Oh, a television you say? Well that's not the most polite request I've heard. I will make the arrangements. It will take a little longer than usual, circumstances such as they are. Look for it in the shop in, oh, say a week? It will have a ribbon with your name on it!
