AREA: DORM TD-19

[awakeningwill]

[The video feed turns on. A somewhat familiar face came onscreen, though most would only recognize him as 'that broken robot that Knuckles was keeping on his couch.' Looks like he's fully functional again, and possessing the same emotive range as he did while offline.]

I'm Zero. Starting now, I'll be on security detail.

[There was a pause. It seemed like he was more or less finished with introductions, but there was something else on his mind kept him from turning off the camera. After a beat, he continued.]

The database tells me that Knuckles is no longer here.

...

There's someone else... There was a blue reploid that called himself X. I need to know what happened to him.

...Thanks.

[End transmission.]

Security, eh? You sure a girly-looking guy like you can handle it?

Well, if you can't, feel free to hit up Pyrrhon! I'm always willing to dish out a little godly wrath in the name of JUSTICE!

[awakeningwill]

... [He was going to ignore the 'girly-looking' comment.]

Godly wrath, huh? What's a 'god' doing at a fighting school?

[pyroblasters]

Learning, of course! Why else would I come to school? Not that I expect I have much to learn about fighting. Pyrrhon is already a master of combat!

[awakeningwill]

[Hm. From what Zero assumed of people that called themselves gods, they seemed the pompous type who were convinced they already knew everything. Not the sort of person who'd submit to acknowledge their own ignorance under a teacher.

...Well, he was still half right about that assessment.]

Didn't think that was something gods were interested in.

[pyroblasters]

Typically, it's not. You would not BELIEVE how stuck up all the other gods are, and how sure they are that they know everything. Pyrrhon however, knows that the quest for knowledge is an endless journey! And a place like this, with people from so many different places coming together is a great source of knowledge indeed!

[awakeningwill]

...

[On the one hand, Zero couldn't disagree with what Pyrrhon described as the quest of knowledge. But on the other, most people that went on about destroying the name of justice had, more often than not, a flawed and broken concept of such a heavy word. Justice was different to different people.

Pyrrhon was someone he'd have to reserve judgment on.]

I've never met a real god, but I've known people with too much power who called themselves 'god' when they weren't. [Take that however you will.]

[pyroblasters]

Hah! Pyrrhon is no false god. I am the one and only SUN GOD! Make sure to keep that in mind, mortal!

[awakeningwill]

...I'll remember that.

If I need your help, I'll ask. Until then, don't do anything reckless.
