... Li Yelan, you are dead.

You recall me mentioning a man named Luther Lansfield that you'd get along well with? He's the creator of my entire universe. And I killed him. I put three of his top executives in the hospital and killed him. Within the universe he'd created, where he'd given himself incredible power. What makes you think any mere assassin could possibly stand against me, magic or no magic? The next time the cuffs give even a little leeway, you'd better start counting your breaths, worm. You're not going to get many of them. And feel free to revel in the knowledge that you're going to be killed by a computer program.

*sigh* I might as well say it, since the charade didn't work. Anyone who heard the rumor that I'm cheating on Sheifa, it was a complete and utter lie. The girl some of you might have seen me with was Sheifa, in disguise. It was an attempt to fool her mother, which has failed spectacularly. Feel free to leave off trying to kill me now.

Bragging about killing?

It has been known to happen. But remember to never bite off more than you can chew.

This is a personal battle.

Oh, don't worry. I'm not some idiot who prefers using his sword arm to his brain. I've spent too long commanding troops to be reckless enough to give her too much of a chance.

This Lansfield sounds like quite a guy.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

You don't know the half of it. The man was willing to let himself and his own sister die if it meant that the Eternal Sphere got deleted.

[000013-kon.livejournal.com]

Really? What's the Eternal Sphere when it's at home?

And Lansfield -- what's he like? Description wise.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

You might recognize it as the universe as you know it - correct me if I'm wrong, but you sound like you're from Earth. In my world, though, it's a computer game, created by the Sphere Company, which is based in another universe that we mostly call "4-D Space".

Or it was, at any rate. It was saved from deletion by the sheer willpower of its inhabitants and is now a fully separate universe from 4-D Space, though it's still possible to move between the two - there are paths on Moonbase, Vanguard III, Elicoor II, and Styx in the Eternal Sphere, all of which lead to the terminal in Gemity.

Fairly unremarkable, actually. About six feet tall, blond. Looks around twenty, though I'm fairly sure he's older. He programmed himself giant wings at one point. Doubt he'd have them here, though.

[000013-kon.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I'm from Earth all right -- or maybe 'an Earth' is the correct terminology.

Huh. I take it your Lansfield didn't accept that the virtual reality was a reality in its own right -- and it survived? That's pretty cool.

Yeah, doesn't sound at all like the guy I'm thinking of.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I thought I recognized the accent - you sound kind of like a friend of mine.

No, not really - some people did, though. Luther's sister, for one. And it's amazing what belief can do in the right circumstances.

Oh?

[000013-kon.livejournal.com]

Yeah?

The sister wasn't the blonde, ice-queen type? And here I thought that was reserved for the likes of Peter Pan.

Bit of a long story.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Name of Fayt Leingod. Be surprised if you'd heard of him, though - what year are you from?

Nope. Her name was Blair. Actually got us back into the Eternal Sphere when we were trapped in the offices.

You know, I did, too. But who knows? Most of my closest friends come from other planets.

Albel-san...?

Are you and Sheifa-neesan alright?

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Ying Fa-san... I'm sorry, something's happened that...

[scarredmistress.livejournal.com]

What happened? And why are you so angry at Yelan-san?

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

It's... complicated. You're from a different version of Sheifa's world, aren't you?

[scarredmistress.livejournal.com]

H-Hai. In my world, she...

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Trust me, this version of Yelan is not a nice person. And, well, she's... done something to Sheifa.

[scarredmistress.livejournal.com]

Can I... can I help you with anything...?

Albel-san, I'm so sorry.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

It's not your fault, Ying Fa. And I'm not sure what you could do, either, unless you know how to break a curse...

[sheifa.livejournal.com]

Angel...

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Morning Star, I'm not just going to stand by while she does this to you!

You forgot to say "anymore".

[sheifa.livejournal.com]

I know. Just... calm down a little. If there is a curse, then I'm holding up just fine. I haven't been feeling murderous yet.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

I know, I know, it's just... Even if the curse isn't real, what she's done to you is unforgivable. Maybe especially if the curse isn't real and she's had you living in fear of something that doesn't even exist.

I did say that the Eternal Sphere was a computer game. It isn't anymore, but it used to be.

[sheifa.livejournal.com]

You know? She's always been like that, I wouldn't be surprised anymore. Hah. I'll never beat her. She just wins. All the damn time.

[shining-nox.livejournal.com]

Don't say that! If she won all the time, you wouldn't even be here.

... Thanks, Morning Star.

[sheifa.livejournal.com]

No. She still wins. She got here. Of all the people from my world, the one who had to be brought here with me was her.
