For any questions you want to ask Viveca or Degar and receive an IC response, please direct them here. Please indicate in the subject line who you are trying to contact.
// VIVECA
Hi, what can I help you with?
// DEGAR
Today was gonna be the day, but they'll never throw it back to you. And by now, you should've somehow realized what you're not to do.
no subject
I can't send anyone anything while you're here — but should anything happen, or before your regret is undone and a different timeline is created, I can store a message and send it then.
no subject
[He repeats it mostly out of surprise. He has a lot of questions about that, but he can't let it distract him. He keeps pushing, hoping that further context might help his case:]
Are you sure some kind of exception can't be made? Please, it doesn't have to be a long or detailed message, or even make any mention of the mission, it's just... It's Professor Mikotoba's daughter. The two of us were on a steamship with her before we arrived here, but, now that we're both here... She'll be alone, and I just... Don't want her to worry excessively. To think that we've fallen overboard, or, or disembarked and left her behind, or something ludicrous like that.
no subject
It is one of the things the orbs demand. Chaos. The fact that you've been removed from the timeline you were in. Even if I tried to get a message to her... it may very well be the orbs wouldn't allow it to go through.
no subject
W-wait, so... What you've just told me... You don't mean the orbs benefit somehow? From what, from... The distress caused when people vanish from their home worlds to show up here?
[He really hopes he's misunderstanding this. It wouldn't be the first time.]
no subject
[ oh, ryunosuke. you sweet summer child. ]
lmao I'M SORRY ABOUT THE TURN THIS HAS TAKEN
That's... No!
[There's obvious panic rising in his tone.]
You... You can send us back, can't you?! My regret, it isn't worth condemning her to that!
[OK, he maybe needs to calm down just a little bit.]
please never be sorry!
[ a pause. she hopes he's listening instead of panicking. ]
That means in your timeline, he is still there with his daughter — and similarly, in his timeline, you're still there. She's not alone.
no subject
I... I don't understand. Are you telling me that... The Professor Mikotoba who is here on the station with me right now. He isn't the same Mikotoba that I know? He's some kind of duplicate?
no subject
[ she sighs. ] There are countless of timelines, all running parallel to one another. It may be that the life of someone you have never met is completely different in two timelines, yet everything that touches you and your life remains the same.
[ quieter, almost as though she's remarking this to herself and doesn't quite cut the comms early enough, ]
Maybe I shouldn't have mentioned any of that... it may be too much to take in.
no subject
It occurs to him then that, even if Viveca did let them attempt to contact Susato... They would all have to write messages to different Susatos, wouldn't they? Ooogh...]
I think I might... Need to go lie down for a minute. [...] Thank you. For... All of your help.
