Cherry:
"... Perhaps", Yugure agreed with the possibility. Reality was another thing entirely.

Beryl:
Satoshi sighed at her uncertainty. Best response he was going to get out of her, considering the circumstances.

He stared out at the waves, mind traveling back to the whole "being marked" thing. It was a situation he couldn't avoid, and there wasn't much he could say to the contrary that would escape it. He figured he may as well just say some more details about it.

"...I've been hearing a voice since last year, since we were at PSY Shop and saw what Neu Edelweiss did. This voice was the same voice that spoke to me when I saw the black ring. It told me to 'lock away my problems.'" He shook his head. "Odd as it sounds, I've been putting stuff on others as if it's really their responsibility, but it isn't quite that way, is it?" He knew she was likely to say that as the Chosen Sword, it was her duty to protect those she cared about, yadda yadda, but honestly, had she given a damn, even if she called him his friend, that what happened to him happened? Did it change her outcomes at all?

The voice spoke again, trying to dissuade him, a soft hiss in the background. "Leave her..."

Cherry:
"Do not heed anything the voice says. Putting off responsibility on others only adds on to what you'll have to do yourself eventually."

While Yugure was content with trying to help Satoshi's problems beyond the dream, that voice was going to have to be dealt with. A number of paladins forewarned her that a sword won't be able to stab it, but the bloodthirsty knight didn't believe them for a second.

Beryl:
Satoshi blinked. "That's...not what I meant. I meant that the voice was telling me not to put my problems on others." Come to think of it, if that was the case...was the voice actually giving bad advice?

At some point, he had fallen asleep on the beach, and Yukino had left. He rubbed his eyes, only to yelp a bit because of the sand he accidentally put in. While he felt like he didn't really get through to her very much, which seemed like a pretty common trend between the two of them, it was good to know that underneath that somewhat robotic demeanor, one of his best friends was still very much his friend and wanted to help him, even if she couldn't explain how.

Slighly reassured, even in the light of knowing he was marked, Satoshi got to his feet and started to walk back home. He had some thinking to do before he proceeded with his day.

Beryl:
It was always the beach when it came down to it, wasn't it? Today, Satoshi stared out at the ocean, arms folded. The past several days had been ones of observation and getting Reversed fighters to start the push for a world dominated by the disciples of the black rings.

That wasn't really the goal, though. The goal was to determine who the Seed was and fall behind him or her, as was per the directive of the invaders. The problem with that goal was that the Seed was much more elusive than expected; even with the dwindling number of sane people in Japan, the Seed was nowhere to be found. Further indication from other countries beared no results, either.

It was a real struggle. The Seed was the true general. Cheru---and by proxy, Satoshi--- was just a captain in charge of informing the Seed of their success so that the invasion could reach its greatest potential. But when the seed was hard to find, matters had to be taken into their own hands.

Luckily, the number of Reversed lieutenants was rising at a steady pace, and the world was mobilizing in acceptance of this fate. Bar a select few, of course, but there was always going to be someone who rebelled against the direction of the world.

Even so...Satoshi looked through his phone. It had been a while since he had contacted any of these people, and it was likely most of them would no longer wish to stay in contact when they found out what he was to this whole thing. Yet, the intense aura most of the bearers of Link Joker and the Reverse had wasn't shared by him. It would of course start to build up once again when the invasion was on the cusp of being a full-fledged success, but for now...Nebula Lord gave stability.

Emotions Satoshi was set to feel at times were not exactly intense, even if they appeared so. This was due to Nebula's influence; it was an emotionless being, who was following directives as necessitated, despite being placed in a position of leadership. Cheru was the yang to Nebula's yin; she was instructed to tie herself to Nebula as a full package, so that the robotic intonations of the dragon did not cause stress within its bearer.

Settling attention back to the phone, Nebula's vassal passed over Yugure Espoir's contact information. She would be important to negotiate with, considering the situation. He was about to type out a message, but then...

He scrolled over to Seifer Leo instead.

Is there a chance I can talk to you? I'm at the beach. If you're worried about a safe route through all of this, don't worry. I've got it.

Summoning the bartender of the snack bar on the beach, who was also most certainly reversed, Satoshi gave his order.

"One order of fries, please. And when you're done, I need you to direct the Reversed on the path to the beach away. It's important."

The bartender chuckled and nodded. "As you wish, Sir."
