they want to bring me back home........

its too dangerous.


[She lets that post sit there by itself for a few minutes. It's not too shocking that this had something to do with the Hunt earlier. Or the other mishap with the museum mission. Informed by the school in some capacity.]

[She eventually adds on as a response--]

im sure i can talk them out of it! everybody is fine now. its not a big deal.

[...Please. Don't let her leave.]

[So that's where he is, huh. The Heart. Or whatever. Maybe all that stuff was finally starting to make sense?]

Hiiiiiiii Ash.

[hattersgonnahat]

but will everyone else be around for it??

[It won't be fun...if most of them are gone. If she could have prevented that.]

[onebetter]

Hopefully.

I know I should just say 'yes', but I don't want to lie to you.

[ Is this the appropriate way of talking to a kid? Probably not. But James hates the idea of making empty promises. Puella has fought alongside them this far. He doesn't want her to keep doing so, but he won't disrespect her either. ]

[fireindreams]

[Grimm chuckles. He can hear someone perk up, flames swirling in his mind.]

He says hello.

[hattersgonnahat]

[He's there!!! Puella laughs, happy and excited that the Nightmare King could actually hear her.]

It's nice that I can sorta talk to him out here too.

[Even if it wasn't quite the greatest. Better to just use dreams.]

[genz]

and that's really noble of you, but you're still just one person.

more people SHOULD think like you, but i don't know if they're the type who are going to make it after all of this is over.

[ he... hesitates a bit for the last part. but sends it anyway ultimately. ]

if i could be with my own family i would.

[hattersgonnahat]

[More people should, but they probably won't. And besides, if the world does end she'll never get to accomplish her dream either.]

?? why cant you?

[No one's stopping him.]

[hattersgonnahat]

[It answers her most of her reason though.] see?? the future is not gonna be good if not everyone is here!

[fireindreams]

He is capable of using my senses when needed. So he will be able to hear and see you.

[The Nightmare King just cannot speak unless Grimm passes on what he wishes to say.]

But I must request you to not bring him up to everyone. There are...reasons he must remain a secret.

[onebetter]

You have high standards.

But look, this is leading us in circles. You're too young to sacrifice yourself.

[genz]

people who aren't human can't just do whatever they want

[ but well... this isn't about him, and he shouldn't let that be the case. ]

sorry. good luck though, puella.

[hattersgonnahat]

ill try...

[But hey look, her situation stinks and if there's any way to not have things about her she'll gladly take it.]

but you should!! youre still somebody!!

[genz]

you've got a good heart. it really would be nice if things worked out that way.

[hattersgonnahat]

i dunno if that makes me good or different.....everybody should get to see their family no matter what they are.

[Just like she has the right to not listen to hers.]

[hattersgonnahat]

[What's wrong with high standards??]

.....id rather help without the sacrifice thing too.

[onebetter]

[ Unseen to Puella, James hits his face against his desk. Why can't this conversation go any better.... ]

We all would, but we have to be ready for it. That's what it means to be here.

[hattersgonnahat]

[You're not going to win this one James. She's that stubborn.]

[But she also takes awhile to respond back, thinking about what he said, what others have said, and what little she knows. It takes maybe about an hour for something to come up.]

if you think were gonna win anyway, then you will just have an easier time if i am around!

[But that still wasn't going to be enough, was it?]

......i dont think they ever wanted me to know about this place. they never wanted me to know anything. if they wanted me to stay home they would have done so, but this is way more important than that!

also, i think my magic is something thats supposed to be really rare and special or whatever. thats what some of the adults have said. so i wanna learn how to use it!!

[onebetter]

Normally I'd say it'd be fine if you just pulled out of dangerous missions, but even on campus... We're the hot spot for targeted efforts in favor of Nightfall. Nowhere here is safe.

What exactly did the professors say about your magic?

[hattersgonnahat]

[It's not very safe on campus, but some say it's not safe off of campus either. Possibly now more than ever.]

[...As for what others have said about her power...well, most of them haven't been teachers so much, but--]

just that its really powerful and im lucky to have it.

.....i can stop time.

[onebetter]

Oh.

Well, that's certainly something you'd call powerful and lucky.

Can you stop it in time to divert attacks from yourself or something similar?

[hattersgonnahat]

[That is kind of lame. Ash was pretty cool! ...When he's not being scary or creepy.]

...Does he not talk to anyone else?

[hattersgonnahat]

i can!

[She may be hiding the fact that's almost all she's used it for so far. Kind of. And it doesn't work that great all the time.]

but its kinda hard to do.

[onebetter]

If you really stay here (and I maintain, you shouldn't), you should focus on that. Once you can save yourself reliably, you can also help other people this way.

[fireindreams]

No. Aside from yourself, he did not speak to anyone aside from myself and my predecessors.

[It was his choice to do so...but he had not been physically capable. The Nightmare King may have been able to burn out Grimm's soul to take his body but in turn Grimm could cut off all his senses by doing to same to his own, effectively rendering the God mute, blind and deaf.

It was not an ideal life and neither of them knew why he made that choice.]

[hattersgonnahat]

...But I'm not either of those. [So. ???]

He did sorta help me figure out my dream though. So I'm grateful for that.
