Have there been any reported cases of kidnapping within the city?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'd say no, but the best I can give you is 'not recently'.

[double_edged]

...hm.

Do you know if I might've been in a related incident?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

... At one time.

[double_edged]

It was... vivid. I remembered being strapped down to a table, after having blacked out on a walk home. It wasn't Vorselon's ship, and the methods of torture were far more personal. I remember blood, screaming, visions of places and people I can't quite understand, then I'm back out in the street.

The next thing after that is someone's home, and I could swear I'd heard you as well. We were talking about... something. Something that had rattled you.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade frowned, furrowing his brows.]

There was a time, when you'd been kidnapped. I did not know what happened to you, but I was with you while you recovered. It was a time ago, so I don't remember all of what we discussed. I do know you were very sick.

[double_edged]

Are you trying to say it's more than just a passing illusion, then?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'm unsure what it is.

[double_edged]

And I'm unsure what to make of it. Out of everyone, why would I think of you...?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

We were good friends before you disappeared. If old memories are surfacing, I might appear in a good amount of them

[double_edged]

Is that... possible?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'm unsure. I'm questioning this place more and more these days.

[double_edged]

For a world that can supposedly restore the dead on a whim, I wouldn't rule out the possibility. It would be nice to remember my prior experiences here - give a better understanding of where I should be.

I have another inquiry for you, Colonel. Are you multilingual?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I suppose I have inquiries for the locals, I can add that in.

[He blinks at the screen and nods.]

I'm fluent in the Fonic Language and Ancient Ispanian.

[double_edged]

Would you be interested in a third language? I don't normally ask this, but it would be good to have another fluent in Lombax within the city.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Interest Piqued]

Certainly. That should be an interesting experience, and useful should the time come.

[double_edged]

It isn't all that complicated, but I can understand if it's different that what you're accustomed to. It's rare to see used nowadays in my own world.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I'm not too bad with languages, I'm sure I could pick it up~

[double_edged]

Ist das so? Sagen Sie mir. Wie schnell könnten Sie diese abholen? Ist der große und mächtige Colonel so erstaunlich, wie sie sagen?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Δεν έχω καμία κατανόηση του τι είπατε, αλλά είστε εξίσου πιθανό συγχέεται με αυτό.

[double_edged]

...

Well played.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade chuckled.]

I can't be counted out yet, at least~

[double_edged]

Then allow me one condition. In return for my service, you teach me whatever that was.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Ispanian?

[Balls.

He hates teaching.]

Well..

[double_edged]

I have no bolts to give, in monetary funds.
