So here's the thing…

We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too.

How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here.

So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready.

Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

I really can't judge on anyone's behavior then, since. I attempted murder, more than once, for the crime of being slightly rude.

Wait, same guy?

and define "slightly", cause you know, context matter. Obviously, I can't judge either, sides, you were a demon for a bit.

I bet you had a suitcase and had a law degree for a bit :P

Other people. Multiple other people on separate occassions. It was too bad for me to even enjoy lawyer jokes.

Okay, that sounds REALLY bad then.

You were mutating into a demon though, it's not your fault. I take it someone stopped you? Or did you manage to not kill them yourself?

Someone else had to stop me from murdering a gangster that pulled a gun on me...after I melted the gun and burned his hand to hell.

[And he suddenly takes this seriously, because Shunji can't enjoy lawyer jokes.

Cause that's when things are REALLY bad.]

[Sometimes even black humor doesn't help.]

I had to be stopped. And even then, I didn't understand why it was a bad thing to murder complete strangers.

[Those are dark times indeed...]

My brother had to restrain me and I very nearly burned him for it.

It's hard when they screw with your mind, I wouldn't wish it on anyone, but at least you got through murder free right?

Barely, but yeah. That's something to be grateful for.

Same here...

I melted the guys gun, burned his hand to hell and threatened him to either give me all of his money or I will burn the rest of him...

for some reason there was a snake chilling around after...as if the guy needed more incentive to get out of there.

I'm pretty sure you mugged that guy.

Technically yes.

Because my brother stepped in before he could give me the money...I just thought "What if my sister were walking here? I should kill him to make sure she will be safe"

So...chances are I would have probably killed him, plus, I was SUPER PISSED

Well I'd hope you weren't calm and cheerful and about to kill him.

Last I checked, my name wasn't Rasputin

I'd like to think I'm too good looking to be him.

I don't know, apparently he was Russia's greatest love machine, he might have something going on there.

The magic corpse from anatasia was the greatest love machine in Russia!?

Nothing about that movie was historically accurate or respectful.

He was a real dude?

100% real, historical dude.

Oh...I thought he was made up.

Did you cover the Russian Revolution in class?

Probably, not that I am that great in history...

doesn't help that I fall asleep in class, but something like, the communists overthrew the king, Stalin REALLY liked killing people, brutal work camp if you were 10 minutes late to work.

That's a very simplified version, but you're not wrong.

So...Rasputin fits in there?

Ra Ra Rasputin, lover of the Russian queen.

So he slept with the queen?

So what? I guess that's what get's him killed right? After some hitmen didn't do their job right.

Something like that. Maybe check Wikipedia.
