...hm, perhaps a dragon. I have heard of a multi-headed dragon, a hydra. I think that would suit me. Let us go that route. I will work on fetching the ingredients.

A hydra... that would work, yes. I can envision it upon your skulls already.

[ He multiplies the ingredients by three and hands over the list. ]

This should be everything you need to collect. Would you prefer to gather on your own, or would you like assistance?

I will leave that up to you. If you'd like to join me, then I won't say no to the company. If you were in the middle of something and you'd like to get back to it, since I imagine collecting some of this may take a while, then... don't let me keep you.

I have nothing better to do, and I would rather spend my time with someone interesting rather than rest of the idiots gathered here. At least with you, perhaps I can learn something.

Time will tell, Dr. Ratio. Let us venture out. [ they open a portal to the lake. ]

Indeed. [ He follows through, out to the lake. ]

[ as soon as they step out, ] What did your mate think of your bust?

I believe it startled him. Perhaps it wasn't the right time.

…oh. [ hums thoughtfully. ] It’s possible that your submissive was just startled by your presence, because you were actively flaunting yourself. A show of that caliber can come as quite the surprise, especially if he came unexpectedly as a result.

That is... an inaccurate description of events.

What happened then?

Admittedly, he was somewhat shaken by a recent death...

I wore it as intended. To conceal my emotions regarding that.

If you don't mind my asking... how did he die?

I heard of a deer woman, a cannibal killer, ...

It wasn't her, was it, ..?

I know that was its intended use, but he probably need you as you are now, Dr. Ratio.

I know. But I had to collect him from a public area. It was necessary.

...no. It was the... Pizzeria, was it? Something about killer animatronic robots or some equally as absurd.

Are cannibals common in this area?

Do you just hate you show others your emotions?

Animatronic robot? [ what's that? for that matter, what's pizza? ]

I don't think so, but there seems to be one out there now.

I simply prefer to keep the rest of the world at a distance.

...yes. A robot in the shape of a character. They exist in my world in the more gaudier areas as a form of mindless entertainment, but I'm sure there's nothing quite as advanced out here. Very early models, if not entirely primitive. It's disturbing that they're capable of moving on their own to kill someone.

I suppose that does make it easier to figure things out... when you're not directly involved and you have no ties to the situation at hand you can just use the information given with no bias.

I still have a lot to learn about this world. Killer character robots... in a pizza establishment.

That is why I prefer to wear one. If you think that, perhaps you'll benefit more from your own head than I anticipated.

Do you? I thought you were native here, is that not accurate..?

I guess we'll see. I'm looking forward to it if nothing else.

I don't know. I don't remember anything. Or... much of anything. A few small fragments here and there, but, like you, I just woke up here one day.

...I see.

It seems most of us who arrive come with our memories in tact, so you seem to be an outlier in that sense.

I'm an outlier in a lot of different senses. I wasn't assigned to a 'team'. I still have what I believe to be my own powers. I wasn't granted any by an unknown force. I was, instead, able to share my own...

But, yes, I'm afraid I don't remember anything about myself. Only recently have a few things come back to me. I believe one of the two you heard in that game was my... brother.

That is the general assumption I made, considering the exchange between the two of them was rather... pointed.

Does knowing that not bring forth any repressed memories? Is there nothing pulling at your mind, seeking to inform you of the truth?

I [ then their side heads look to the center head. ] We must help him. I cannot leave him in such a position knowing that there is a chance that we might be kin... perhaps he has the answers I seek.

...no. [ their side heads look down. ] We do want to know the truth, but our heads are... empty. It's like it's all been locked away.

...I see. How unfortunate.

I consider myself an expert in seeking out the truth of my own world. If anyone is capable of helping you discover the truth, it will be me.

It... It is. I wonder if something happened to us. [ they take their heads in hand. ] Were we originally captive too? What if we are...bad...

[ they grow silent for a good, long time. ] We would appreciate that, Dr. Ratio.
