[There's a terrible aura forming. A TERRIBLE AURA. SOMEWHERE YOU CAN JUST FEEL A DARK FORM SLICING THROUGH THE WATER AROUND YOU, CIRCLING CLOSER AND CLOSER.]

That shrine over there? The goddess trades for ice cream.

[storming_in]

. . . The what.

[battle_genius]

Ah... No one's explained yet?

[storming_in]

Everyone's been hung up on the . . . guy . . .

[battle_genius]

Well it... [UPPER GESTURE ....... LOWER GESTURE...] ... Is a little surprising...

[Then nods and slides back into exposition mode.]

This place is called Thusia, it's a world whose population has already died, and the world is overrun with a particularly vicious, people hating version of nature. The remaining gods of this world seem to have taken a wide variety of people to fight for them to reclaim the world for one reason or another. The gods seem incredibly limited by whatever is composing this nature, and their range only seems to extend to what has been cleared. There is very little you'll find when things start going green that isn't hostile, and everything is poisonous and has to be purified by one of the gods here to be consumed or used.

There are a good variety of apartments set up... ah... Ours is getting a bit crowded... maybe we should think about settling a new one...

[storming_in]

. . . So let me get this straight. Not only is there some guy version of me, but now you're saying we aren't even in Japan? Earth? And there's . . .

This is a really complicated prank.

[battle_genius]

And Kazu has a spine.

[storming_in]

But he forgot his last fight!

[battle_genius]

[Nods] ... That's.. happened to some of us. It's a long story... we'll have time for it though.

[storming_in]

You too?!

[battle_genius]

Yes. Kind of. I remember almost everything now, though.

[storming_in]

Almost . . .

[battle_genius]

Almost... there's still some large blank spots and some things that just don't make sense at all.


... And other things that I think I know entirely but still don't make sense. I think that's just our world though.

[storming_in]

How many of you are like that?

[battle_genius]

Most.. I haven't gotten to talk to Ringo yet... Yayoi and Kazu seem to be, but they're different than the ones I remember... Ikki and I came from the same place.

... There's another Akito here too. Ah... something bad happened here, and he comes off a little differently. I don't really know what he remembers or doesn't.

[storming_in]

Why does your doppleganger get to be the same gender . . .

[battle_genius]

Well.... my mother's here, if that helps.

[storming_in]

I met her. I didn't even know you had a mom.

[battle_genius]

Neither did I!

[storming_in]

She says your brother is your dad too.

[battle_genius]

Ahaha yes. That's a thing too. That I didn't know.

[storming_in]

. . . Your family is insane.

[battle_genius]

I'm not even sure that fits on the term "understatement."

[storming_in]

I don't think a word that describes it accurately exists in any language, so it'll have to do.

[battle_genius]

If I knew German there might be a shot...
