Text: This is a public service announcement

[After he wakes up from that weird dream, it takes him a few more hours to realize that Eikichi is, somehow, missing. And...that was it! That was the straw that broke the proverbial camel's back! Because by mid-morning, there is an angry-looking text post from Tatsuya on the network, with only these words of warning.]

ATTN: HINOTO-RI

PHILEMON WILL RUIN YOUR LIFE

[That's....it. Maybe he should elaborate.]

[...did you make a leap of logic that he didn't see coming, or?]

What is?

I don't talk to many people face to face, but I'll keep it in mind.

And yeah, I don't know many humans but if someone like me can tell that this guy is nuts? It says something.

IF THERE'S A WAY FOR THEM TO GET OVER THERE, THERE HAS TO BE A WAY FOR US TO FIND THEM AND GET THEM BACK. WHERE EVER THEY WENT.

HOW LONG DO YOU THINK THEY'RE GOING TO BE GONE? A DAY? A WEEK? MONTHS? 6 MONTHS? ARE THEY EVER COMING BACK???

NO IT ISN'T!!

AND I AM REALLY REALLY SICK OF HIS SHIT AT THIS POINT.

YEAH.

WHAT ARE YOU IF YOU DON'T MIND ME ASKING.

Well, what do you think we should do? He has an unknown amount of power here, enough to transport people between dimensions. Then there's Nyarlathotep to consider.

Well, I don't doubt that you believe what you're saying is true. But you're presenting yourself in a way that makes you appear as if you aren't in complete control of your mental faculties.

[aka you sound pretty crazy there, dude]

YOU KNOW WHAT, MAYBE I'M NOT.

MAYBE I'M JUST SUPREMELY ANGRY ABOUT EVERYTHING.

MAYBE I WENT CRAZY WAAAAAAAAAAAY BEFORE THIS, WHO KNOWS.

I KIND OF DON'T KNOW ANYMORE SO PLEASE FORGIVE ME YOUR HIGHNESS.

Robot, and I don't mind. There are actually more robots and AI here that function similar to myself then back home, so I don't mind telling people that I am what I am.

SEE WHAT? HOW LAME YOU CURRENTLY ARE BY NOT EXPLAINING WHY WE SHOULD BE WORRIED?!

He's a manifestation of the collective unconscious, yes. I though this was fairly obvious.

Nyarlathotep is a bit different, but in the end he was born of human legends and dreams so he equates to the same.

Is this supposed to be news?

['sup threadjacking]

We are all attempting to uncover the "truth" of our circumstances here, as subjective as that term might be. While you might have important information, it has to be taken with more than a grain of salt.

These are the main facts that you're attempting to establish, correct?

- Philemon is not a benevolent entity.
- Philemon and Nyarlathotep are the same entity; they both "are" humanity.
- Philemon and Nyarlathotep have made bets before on the nature of humanity.

And you learned these facts via the circumstances one of those bets, which involved yourself and your group of friends.

THAT'S ALL CORRECT EXCEPT FOR ONE POINT.

PHILEMON IS BENEVOLENT. THAT'S KIND OF HIS POINT.

BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN THAT HE'S NICE AND CARES ABOUT YOUR INDIVIDUAL LIVES, AS YOU CAN SEE WITH THE BETTING THING.

...THAT'S REALLY COOL.

I'M BEING SERIOUS I'VE NEVER REALLY MET

HOLY SHIT

TO SOME PEOPLE YES IT IS PROBABLY NEWS.

Some people need to read their Jung and Lovecraft, then.

Though Nyarlathotep, at least, isn't as horrible as you're making him out to be. He's relatively easy to contract and make him do what you want.

Well...

That's a reaction I haven't gotten before.

YOU KNOW WHAT NOW I DON'T FEEL LIKE EXPLAINING BECAUSE I KNOW WHAT'S GOING TO HAPPEN.

I'LL WARN ABOUT EVERYTHING AND NOBODY WILL BELIEVE ME!

AND THEN SOME STUPID BULLSHIT WILL HAPPEN THAT'LL JUST PROVE THAT I WAS RIGHT!

SO WHY GO THROUGH ALL THAT WORK WHEN I'M GONNA BE PROVEN RIGHT LATER ANYWAY??

WELL I'D RATHER NOT BE HERE, BUT THAT LOOKS LIKE A WASH.

THE NEXT BEST THING WOULD BE TO FIND OUT WHERE EVER THE HELL EVERYONE WAS TELEPORTED TO BEFORE MORE STUPID BULLSHIT HAPPENS.

I COME FROM OMEGA LAND, WARS WORLD.

I JUST WANNA KNOW WHO I GET TO BLOW UP WITH ALL OF THIS.

DO YOU THINK I'M JOKING??

DO YOU THINK THIS IS FUCKING FUNNY???

IS THAT A GOOD OR BAD THING?

I'M SORRY THERE JUST AREN'T ANY ROBOTS HERE.

...WELL THERE ARE BUT NOT THE AI KIND I MEAN.

No. But in my world at least, he's fairly easy to summon.

I'M NOT TALKING ABOUT DEMONS YOU OBTUSE FUCK.

I'M PRETTY SURE THE CRAWLING CHAOS I'M TALKING ABOUT IS DIFFERENT THAN A RANDOM-ASS DEMON.

WHY DON'T YOU BLOW UP BOTH AND SAVE EVERYONE THE TROUBLE??
