Mei: Question this "Nino".

26-Jul-2023
Meimona: ...Wait, wait! Umm...Meimona: How did you know that... that person was a spirit?Nino: ...He was hurting you, wasn't he?Nino: I couldn't just stand by and let that happen as a leader!Meimona: No, I mean, he... umm, it...Meimona: It looked like a normal winged.Nino: And I was protecting you, Mei! Don't overthink it. Nino: Now let me heal you, alright? Meimona: S-so you just took a chance?Meimona: Aiming to kill, no matter who or what it could've been... Meimona: That was fine by you?Nino: ...Yes? What's wrong? Nino: It turned out to be the right move after all, didn't it?Meimona: ...Nino: It feels like you're interrogating me or something now!Nino: But really, I just wanted to protect you again, Mei.Meimona: No, I just...Nino: Your wound's not going to get any…

Aria: Does your ability protect against mind-peeking?

22-Jul-2023
Your ability doesn't play a part in preventing that! Though illusions are based on people's memories, the ability to plainly see what those memories contain for oneself is separate from the ability to make illusions. As a human, you can only have one or the other, but spirits are different. They go a step further by reading the contents of the mind to some degree. Reed: Hey, something up? You suddenly went all quiet.Aria: Oh, I was just thinking... Aria: Maybe we can use this situation to our advantage?Aria: If we can confirm that Nino and Mei are being targeted as well, then...Aria: Maybe we could know where they are through the spirits.Reed: Huh... you really think so?Aria: I'm just thinking out loud!Aria: I could be wrong, but... I'm willing…

Reed: Immediately shoot, don't give it time to react.

18-Jul-2023
Spirit: KHGH...!Reed: You guys really suck at this, you know?Spirit: HOW... HOW DID YOU KNOW...Spirit: I, I HAVEN'T EVEN...Reed: Like I said.Reed: Because you suck at this. Spirit Blood: Evaporate. Reed: It's disappearing. That's good.Reed: Means it won't get up out of nowhere like last time.Aria: Are you okay, Five?Five: Y-yeah... Aria, Reed, thank you for protecting!Aria: There's so many spirits by the barrier... but why?Reed: Who knows? God, I'm tired of them.Reed: As much as I'm upset with Nino,Reed: It pisses me off way more to see shitty spirits pretend to be him.Aria: I wonder what that one was hoping to do.Reed: Probably just more dirty trickery.Aria: Still, why did it even approach us?Aria: Spirits are weak to numbers.Aria: So voluntarily facing a group like us is an obvious…

Nino: Fall.

15-Jul-2023
It's suffocating, being trapped in this place. But why? What have you done to deserve this kind of dream? Now, it's more like a nightmare. The question repeats in your mind, and without thinking... It spills out of your heart in desperation. Nino: Why is this happening?Nino: Why... do things have to be decided in this way? Nino: Why...? You know why. You said it yourself earlier.Nino: Isn't it natural to want to protect the one you love? Love? This is... an act of self-love? All of these restrictive thoughts, and those words, "I only have myself"... That's love? Nino: Either of you can be anything, from a split soul, another personality or part of a whole. You may not know which, but you both must focus. Certainly. It's love.…

Nino: Nothing he has said proves that he is the same as you.

11-Jul-2023
Nino: First of all, you... Nino: Nothing you said proves that you're me. Nino: All that is needed for you to do any of this is to follow me, Nino: Find some way to affect my dreams, and- Nino: ...What are you speaking back for?Nino: Whoa, wh... what are you doing? Nino: Listen well.Nino: If you don't know what to say,Nino: Then as usual, just be quiet and follow me.Nino: It's for the best. Nino: Sink. What the hell!? Is this guy trying to stop you from answering? As you struggle to push back, you suddenly hear it... ...You own voice. Nino: Ahhhh, sorry, what was that? Nino: You totally didn't finish that thought!Nino: Come on, can't you give a complete answer? The annoying version which isn't yours, that is.…

Nino: Ask about the other "Ninos" in your dream.

08-Jul-2023
Nino: ...Right.Nino: Among what little memories I have, there is an odd one.Nino: I can't say anything about it, besides the fact that it merely exists,Nino: Buried somewhere deep beneath the surface. Nino: No, it must be asked. What were all of the other slaughtered "Ninos" in the flock? Why were they impaled by their own blades, and resting within their own blood? Why did they vary so much in appearance? Nino: Ah, don't get me wrong.Nino: I'm saying that it's in your memories. Nino: Memories that can be revisited, mind you.Nino: Even though you have no explanation or understanding of it, just like me...Nino: It remains ignored in here, sleeping in the depths.Nino: But now that you're more willing to confront all sorts of uncomfortable things, it would be…

Nino: Answer Nino.

04-Jul-2023
You step back, and begin gathering your thoughts. Slowly, you construct several potential answers in your mind. It feels like you've made him wait an eternity to hear you speak at all, but at the same time, it is as if your thinking time had lasted mere moments. You've faced each other for minutes, and simultaneously, eons. Perhaps time is not at all a factor in this place. And perhaps, then, it means you can take solace in the possibility that not much of it has passed outside in the waking world, yes? Not that it makes shutting this guy up for good any less urgent, really. Let's get started, then. Nino: He's lying when he tells you that you "Only have yourself." Aria seems to think you sacrificed yourself…

Be Nino!!!!

18-May-2023
You've become really desperate about that by now, haven't you? Very well. Fortunately, it is finally a good time to fulfill your wish. He's just about ready for it. But do temper your expectations. Because this encounter won't last long. Nino: What the hell was that...Nino: What was I thinking...? Nino: Wait, no... you, it's YOU!Nino: What were you thinking, going off-course like that!? Nino: Uh, I...Nino: I... don't know. Nino: What was the point of all that planning!?Nino: To go against everything at the last second...Nino: God, they've made me so unbelievably wishy-washy. Nino: Hey, uh...Nino: If you claim to be me, then wouldn't you know what I was thinking? Nino: ...That's hard to answer. Nino: Because you don't know what you were thinking.Nino: Seriously, what are you so…

Reed: Before anything else, make sure she's real.

30-Apr-2023
...It looks like she might be real, considering how fiercely protective Ludwig is of her. And how fiercely protective she is of Boyfriend, too. For one thing, the real deal would've never left them behind, nor have shown Five her weak side. But could a spirit fool those animals too? Really, is it going to be the same trick twice in a row? You can't risk letting your guard down, but man... this is getting old. Aria: Whew... ah.Aria: Are you okay, Five...?Reed: Hold it.Reed: Don't get any closer. End encounter. Aria: Oh, wait, wait, umm... I'm real!Aria: I can prove that to you, with the disguise...Aria: See? I can control yours!Five: Whoa... it's true...!Reed: Oh. Well, I guess you've kind of already proved it.Reed: I don't believe those two…

Reed: Follow but question him.

16-Apr-2023
You wonder if you're being too paranoid. After all, you've just met a spirit that looked like someone you trusted. But then again... would a spirit really kill its own? Reed: ...Wait, Five.Five: Huh...?Reed: Don't follow him just yet. Nino: What's wrong?Reed: Nino. I have an important question.Reed: How do you know where Aria ended up?Nino: Oh! Umm... Reed: You don't see why one spirit would kill another, but it's also suspicious that he would know where Aria is. Nino: I figured it out from our exiting order in the rift.Nino: Our physical locations don't seem to matter, Reed,Nino: But rather, it's who leaves before who.Nino: Aria ended up more to the south because she left first.Nino: You left after, so you've ended up somewhere between me and her...Reed: What.Reed:…

Um... look!Meimona: Maybe it's possible to come down, since you're here now...Meimona: But it doesn't mean going back up is also possible, right?Meimona: We should be careful!Yuness: Mona.Yuness: Don't you trust me?Meimona: What? Of course I do!Meimona: But I've made sure that I can't go back up multiple times, so...Meimona: Let's not be reckless! Meimona: It would be bad if we waste our divinity by flyi-Yuness: That's ENOUGH, you annoying child!Meimona: ...W...wuh?Yuness: You seriously don't trust your own brother?Meimona: W-what? No, I do!Meimona: But you're talking like you don't trust me!Meimona: I told you I tested it already, so why don't you believe me?Meimona: Without any divinity, we won't ever go home, Yuness...Meimona: It's not worth risking it!

Aria: Oh my gosh! Mei...?Meimona: Whew! I finally caught up to you!Meimona: There were so many dangerous beasts back there!Meimona: Are you okay, Aria?Aria: Yes, I'm fine!Aria: More importantly, Meimona... you made it!Aria: I can't believe it, I'm so happy to see you again!Meimona: Haha, likewise!Aria: Were you hurt at all!?Meimona: Nope! I landed on the soft snow. Meimona: I owe it all to my incredible luck. :3Meimona: I'll be real though, ummm...

Meimona: Flashback.

Right... your family. Your siblings are the children of Nadine, the master of the Birdnest, a large system of farmlands in the overworld. Just like her, they're nothing short of impressive. Your eldest sister, Layla Aquila, often went hunting in faraway places. She'd bring back plenty of spoils, and delicious prey from nebulae in the depths of space! But you never knew how she found her way through the sandy clouds of the overworld. And Meitham Grus, your eldest brother, was always willing to take you anywhere you wanted in the sky. In fact, he'd frequently escort every other sibling of yours on their outings too. He's simply that dependable of a brother! Yet, you never asked how he could find the way home so consistently. Siblings are meant to…

Be Meimona.

You are now Meimona. You have no idea where you are. Meimona: What do you see? Sand. A sea of pale gold, stretching as far as the eye can see. It is reminiscent of the overworld, of... Your home. -/-/-/-> But that can't be where you are! After all, you can still make out the lining of the barrier. Unfortunately, it seems that you remain a caged bird. But in which part of the cage did you end up...? Meimona: Can you tell where you are? That sandy mountain you tumbled from... that's where the rift was. It is as if you crossed over from an unintended direction. Maybe this is a place in the monster world, then? The sunlight here is certainly brighter than anywhere you've been to in…

Be Nino.

25-Mar-2023
You fail to be Nino. Try as you might, you simply cannot. For you see, it's still not the right time for that. So instead, you go back to being Reed. There's no escaping this situation just yet. Reed: Engage in COMBAT. Five: Reed!Five: R-Reed's bleeding!Reed: I'm fine.Reed: Stay behind me. Of all times to run into a goddamn beast. The sly thing crept up on you. It must've been stalking for a while, just looking for an opening to strike. No matter. You'll take care of this swiftly. Reed: Attack. Your wind cannon barely does anything to stop this thing. This calls for more destructive measures... Rimehound: Attack. Even though you wouldn't want to risk alerting any monsters nearby with something loud, you've left with no other choice. Reed:…
