Hmm…I gotta think of a way to tactfully kick everyone out of the garden...

[[Monika, Dominic, and Lane]] Setsuna listened as Lane gave a vague description of the vision he saw while still leaving out the one important detail she was after. "Did the vision happen to be called 'Izanami Lore #39'?" She needed to know. She wanted to find out whether the 'Izanami Lore' vision was at least correlated with the Numbers Card. If so, then it was likely that the visions were connected to the Numbers Cards. At least, that was her line of logic.

From what I have heard, those scenes were added in as an afterthought. Type Moon originally did not even intend to have those scenes. It's quite hilarious, actually.

Will do. When should I have her do this by? I want to make sure I finish the conversation in time.

If you do the VNs, just do Realta Nua unless you wish to read and have a laugh at the poorly written sex scenes. When you get to Fate/Zero, read the light novels first because despite how much I liked the Fate/Zero anime, the LNs are still better.

It's totally wise. Otherwise Setsuna will become persistent about getting the info. Hell, she is not even after the lore at the moment. She just wants to know if Lane got a Lore number corresponding to Utopia's number.

"There goes the tsundere acting all tsuntsun again." Nagi spoke in response to Vixen's remarks. She was about to turn to finally take a long-desired shower when she heard the red-headed girl meekly realizing that she needed to get back to the hospital. Nagi sighed and turned. "Red, I can get you back to the hospital in silence under five minutes if nobody else feels like helping out. You will have to give me the general direction from here, though...and you'll have to hold on tight when we go."

Finally started the Spring Season after finishing Cinderella Girls yesterday. Series was a 9/10. Shimamu, Miku, Ranko, and Anya are precious. ' 1. Owari no Seraph-This one's off to a pretty good start. Not to mention, Shinoa is just too much fun. The soundtrack is solid (despite the Engrishy OP). Not much to say. Let's just hope this one keeps up the momentum. 2. Fate Stay/Night Unlimited Budget Works-The series returned with a freaking bang, man. I knew what would happen in episode 3 as soon as I started it but damn, that hit like a truck. You know a series is good when it can pull that kind of impact even when you are expecting it.

[[Monika, Dominic, and Lane]] "Nothing." Setsuna sighed after staring at the card for about a minute. "I got no vision. Based on how you worded what you said, I assume you did see one. But, I guess simply seeing the card is not enough to trigger the vision or even a headache. So, what was the vision you saw, Lane?" "'Ice Queen' is the moniker given to some unknown person or thing which partially freezes victims in the port area. Due to the fact that none of the victims died and none of the victims can remember what happened to them, this existence has been merely classified as an urban legend. Well, at least, Dominic and I can now personally attest to the fact that she exists. I won't give you the full details of what happened yesterday but she can somehow encase people and things in ice almost instantaneously and there is no doubt in my mind that there is no way to do that naturally. It's possible could be the results of her holding a Numbers card." Setsuna realized as she spoke how quickly she had accepted the existence of the supernatural. In the end, though, it was something she was unable to deny. There was no rational explanation otherwise. So, she continued to allow her threads of logic to seep into that.

I can deal with that too. On another note, see Dobby! I can make non-text-wall posts.

[[Dominic, Monika, and Lane]] "Headache? Did that headache happen to come with an 'Izanami Lore' vision? If so, did the other one's number match the number on the second Numbers Card you have?" Setsuna continued to try and probe for more information. "That being said, have you guys heard of the rumored Ice Queen?"

Just know that you will never be able to phase me with any mind fukery you can come up with. MUAHAHAHA!

Ah. Okay. No problem. Not sure whether this is sarcasm or an evil laugh under way. :/ I would prefer the latter.

@Chim-You didn't answer the key part about the Izanami Lore thing. XD My turn! Me! Me!

[[Dominic, Monika, and Lane]] As she was musing, she heard the voice of a familiar person. She looked to the side to see that Dominic had come into the outer garden. "Ah! Dominic!" For some reason she could feel her face growing warmer. Anyone who could see her face would see a very visible blush. "What are you--" She cut herself off before knocking her head slightly with her fist to calm herself down, allowing for the blush to recede. "You seem to be coming to the garden a lot, recently. Well, have a seat!" She scooted over a bit on the long chair and motioned him to it. "We were just exchanging some information and I was about to tell them about what happened yesterday. It would help if you were here to also explain about what happened at the port." At that moment, she remembered something. "Oh yeah. I'm sorry for suddenly leaving you yesterday."

"I'm not going to divulge details about my past." Nagi spoke in a melancholy tone. "It's a long story and frankly, I see no reason in divulging it. However, I will say I only left the Protectors for my own reasons that had nothing to do with the faction itself. If you really are wavering because of what I said, don't. There are no issues with the Protectors. Frankly, I view them a lot like heroes protecting humanity who I can no longer walk on the same path as." Nagi paused for a bit and looked down at her feet. "I chose that gray and bloodied path on that day after all. That's why I left them. I am the one who decided to walk this path of necessary evil." She looked to Dexter and gave a smile. "Besides, I can only assume that you wish to prevent the tragedy that occurred with your father from happening. If so, then you absolutely should go to the Protectors. I just happen to want to prevent tragedies in my own way. That is all."

No. Makoto can be a girl's name too.

[[Monika and Lane]] After listening to the two, Setsuna lost herself in thought for a moment before speaking. "Thirty and thirty. That means that Numbers Card is likely connected to the 'Izanami Lore'. Have you found any other Numbers Cards besides Acid Golem? If so, did you see any of these other Izanami Lore visions?" She paused for a second. "Wait, Monika...corrupt a person's mind? Lane, you said the guy you beat to get Acid Golem seemed like he was possessed. If Ayatane is holding that Numbers card Monika spoke of, isn't he likely possessed as well? I met him at the hotel yesterday and he seemed fairly normal, albeit a bit eccentric. He did not seem possessed to me. What did you think? Also, 'extraordinary powers'?" At the utterance of those words, she remembered the encounter she had with the Ice Queen. "Like...her powers?"

You can drop by the garden. Setsuna is there.

47 This bus ride is taking a surprisingly long time.

Damn you, you psychic ninja!

Pfft. Silly ninja thinks he can escape a city destroying attack.

Your reward? A Starlight Breaker to the face.
