[Somewhere, a bell begins to ring. You may know the type—obnoxious and loud, signalling the start of a brand new day of lectures and learning. Rise and shine, lovelies; wakey wakey eggs and bakey! And with that, just as the toll falls silent, you hear the sound you may have been waiting for: the click of a lock.

You're free to explore.]

A pain in the ass to explain. I wasn't at Aather, anyway, so I don't know shit about it past the name and that it was a team amnesia setup again.

[foreversolo]

You can't just say something like that and then refuse to explain.

[experiencepoints]

Kyriakos. A castle in some sort of fucked up void place, where people who had their souls shattered instead of just being unmade outright when our worlds got destroyed get brought to try to rebuild ourselves and fix our worlds. Thirteen teams, god-like beings who range from incompetent to malicious running everything, etcetera.

Happy now?

[foreversolo]

[yeah hold on, this is going to take a moment to digest]

. . .

[experiencepoints]

[WAITING PATIENTLY.]

[foreversolo]

So there's... four places like that?

[experiencepoints]

Four that we know of.

[foreversolo]

Can you tell me who's been to the other two?

[experiencepoints]

Guy named Shinichi on the orange team here was at Sabra. He or Macaron would be better to tell you about who was at Aather.

[foreversolo]

Macaron...

Can you tell me more about... that castle?

[experiencepoints]

What do you want to know?

[foreversolo]

... You said your worlds were destroyed and your souls... unmade?

[experiencepoints]

Shattered. We still had pieces left.

[foreversolo]

Who... did that?

[experiencepoints]

Monsters called Reapers, as far as we know.

[foreversolo]

... So you're rebuilding your worlds by participating in competitions?

[experiencepoints]

That's the short version, yeah.

[foreversolo]

At the library... we did it for our memories. And a wish.

[experiencepoints]

We're getting our memories back, too. We lost all of ours with our souls getting broken.

[foreversolo]

You too?!

[experiencepoints]

We don't get a wish, though.

[foreversolo]

What about the other two places? Do you know how people ended up there?

[experiencepoints]

Look around for a guy named Shinichi for one of them. Belt's got a better idea of the other one than I do, too, I think.

[foreversolo]

[nods]

Still, it's way too suspicious.

[experiencepoints]

No argument here. We're probably all going to die.

[completely blase about it.]
