An armored figure glowers out over the Hinoto-Ri COMP network

"I found the actual combat skills displayed recently at these so-called persona fights somewhat lacking. You may understand how to use your sorcerous.... things, but if you need to learn how to fight with bullet, blade, mind and hand, seek out Cerberus. I shall instruct you on how to not completely embarrass yourself when asked to fight."

lol forgot he took his helmet off. I'll be jacking that HTML and stuff soon.

[ Loken grunts, clearly off-put by the voice in his head. He whispers a name. ]

Tarik? ... No, not Tarik. [ He shakes his head, and says. ]

I'm sorry, I thought I heard something for a moment, like the ghost of someone I once knew.

[ He continues, a little swiftly, as if consciously changing the subject. ]
Sacrifice for another is a noble ideal, and very in line with the preachings of some of the Primarchs, such as Vulkan, Dorn, or Guilliman. Horus himself, Warmaster and my gene-father believed in that sort of philosophy. [ At least up until his betrayal of the Emperor, Garviel, and every other loyal man in the 63rd expedition.]

It's okay; it happens to the best of us. Also, yaaaaaay

[She tilts her head to the side, then shakes her head. It's a faint smile.]

It's alright. [There there... She's heard a voice or two, too. Must be A Thing, here.]

I see... It's surprising how some ideals seem to pass beyond the boundaries of worlds themselves.

[Sob, she knows a similar story to that all too well. Why do some people we look up to keep betraying us...]

[greyerrant]

Perhaps because they represent certain universal truths about compassion and altruism.

[destinedwaters]

Mm. I wouldn't be surprised, even though it's been hard to see lately.

Because I can't HTML ever, best I could do.

Give it time, you'll see more of them.

Thou art I... and I am thou... Thou hast established a new bond... A new friendship that transcends even time and world boundaries themselves... You shall be blessed when fusing Personas of the Emperor Arcana when thou is able...
>	You have established the Garviel Loken Social Link of the Emperor Arcana!
>	Garviel's determination in battle has been enhanced...
>	He will now reinforce your morale in combat. Prepare to know no fear, like a proper Astartes!
>	You get the feeling that he will be watching over you...

[...Oddly fitting, mysterious voice that sounds oddly akin to her Master's. Especially since they live across the hall from one another.]

I know I will. [When one has been isolated for so long... well, she knows well enough how she'll eventually find more kinds of people than she's used to again.]

I'm so sorry about this! I lost it amongst con drunkeness.

What is your name?
