::So it's a fabulous late spring day at Labirinto. The air is nice and cool. And there appears to be a sale on clothing, as well as guidebooks to interpreting your dreams and how to make friends. There's also a sale on candles. And winter themed statues.

Enjoy walking about.::

Which specific part. He did a lot of things, customer.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm, specifically... The part about the Frozen Guards of the Ice Barrier.

[by_the_pricking]

It was a piecemeal, artificial Duel Spirit he created, yes.

[thefrozenstorm]

*... he laughs a bit bitterly, smiling again, but... rather sad.*

You basically just answered what I was going to ask specifically.

[by_the_pricking]

Ah? Is that so? Nearly all the Duel Spirits that worked for him that he made well. Not to be cruel, they weren't designed to have personalities.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm, I know you're not trying to be cruel. But it does explain more than enough.

Easier, I'd imagine, to have them do what he intended on.

[by_the_pricking]

Exactly.

[thefrozenstorm]

Makes sense, makes sense... that's all I wanted to really know, then. *even if it. stings. it very much stings. but he shouldn't cause too much alarm, here.*

[by_the_pricking]

If you wish to ask more, please do so.

[thefrozenstorm]

... Just... Do you think it's possible for any of the Duel Spirits he created, to eventually develop a. Personality...?

[by_the_pricking]

Oh, they'd have a personality in the first place, shallow, but I don't see why it couldn't grow.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm... I see. At least there's some hope there... ... Sorry, I'm being misleading, aren't I.

[by_the_pricking]

Yes.

[thefrozenstorm]

*looks down somewhat*

... If I said that I'm that Guard, would you be alarmed?

[by_the_pricking]

... I would need to know more.

[thefrozenstorm]

*he takes a deep breath*

I had gotten the idea in my head to essentially kill myself and enter into Kantai, Sekuta's body. I had intention on taking him over from the inside, but that... did not turn out in my favor. I'm not even certain why I felt that would be a good idea-- perhaps it was what Asmodeus had intended upon.

We currently have an agreement of amicability, however, due to... Recent events. But I have reason to believe that no one else would be accepting of it, and would in fact attempt to kill myself, and Kantai Sekuta as a result. ... The only reason that I am even trusting you with this, sir, is that you have insight into what Asmodeus had in mind.

[by_the_pricking]

... Asmodeus was a very odd one. Never certain of much, but eager to do many things. He was technically very much one who was studious and very interested in the Dark-ificiation virus. He was after chaos, but... I think many of those like you were made much crueler than they would of been, due to said virus.

Strangely, you don't seem very violent.

[thefrozenstorm]

... I feel that being in Kantai Sekuta's mind has caused much of the violent behavior to become... Mostly mitigated. The only one who fills me with any sort of anger at this point is the one named Adam Van der Aart. And... That is more of a mutual feeling between us, due to his actions.

*he rubs his wrist, nervous*

I mostly wanted to know this, because I have realized that my behaviors. My knowledge, anything that I do. Do not actually match what I am or should be. I don't know anything about the Ice Barrier innately-- all I was focused on was replacing Kantai, Sekuta.

[by_the_pricking]

That's because you're an artificial Ice Barrier monster. They're not intended to match an actual one.

[thefrozenstorm]

... I know that now, yes. Did he actually expect me to succeed in replacing him, or did he just expect me to be killed?

[by_the_pricking]

He expected chaos to happen. See what would result. He had no expectations other than something exciting would happen.

[thefrozenstorm]

Hm... *he shakes his head*

Well, in a way, it succeeded, since now Kantai Sekuta's "best friend" wants to kill him and me, since I've "tainted" him. I would say that's chaotic enough. *... which is no wonder why he isn't eager about telling anyone about the current set-up*

[by_the_pricking]

And who is this best friend.

[thefrozenstorm]

Adam Van der Aart. He seems to have a... Psychosis, concerning monsters.

[by_the_pricking]

... Would you like to come with me to the back room, I can get someone on the registers for a bit.
