[...that sure is a possibility, and yet.]

And you're not worried about two of you running around simultaneously? [It's not the worst idea, even if it's risky.]

I think if I can get him to sit still long enough and get a sample I might? He's one of the originals so I'm not sure how much soul theory applies to him. That only happens, you know, when your world's destroyed and you're reincarnated for the most part. But I could probably temper with his abilities if we can "unhook" his genetic make-up, if you will.

So you think rewriting the chip could do it? [...it's a lot.] It has to be you guys. So let's go down the rabbit hole of doubles running around and future yous. You think that's good enough? If we bring back copies of you guys with your full memories and full powers and memories of Recollé.

Dog, I have no idea what's gonna work and what won't. This guy is so entangled in his own time travel bullshit that he's made himself basically inextricable. And you already shot down the Alexander the Great method of problem solving, so I'm just throwing out whatever I can.

[god. all of this has been leading back here, huh. the Gordian knots, the alternate timeline bullshit. draining memories, people leaving the app and falling back down the layers. these clues were here the whole time and she managed to blow past every single one of them. she's almost impressed with herself.]

I think it'll work if we can guarantee that they're all willing to work for the same cause. Which we definitely can't. I can only speak for myself. Plus, don't I already look like what everyone thinks of when they think grimdark future bullshit? [see, she can joke about her eye. sort of.] My own timeline's fucked enough by now anyway. Why not give it a try?

[recollecters]

[What if he just drags his hands down his face because this is So Not What He Signed Up For. He's leaving his face buried in his hands and groaning unhappily for a moment.]

...it might be an idea I float with everybody else. There's so few of you now that it may not even make a huge difference if only some of you are upgraded versions of yourself. And you've all experienced timetravel now that a paradox might not happen if you go in knowing it's happening.

The most important things are the eye, dismantling the reach of power, and dismantling the power itself. The rest is all set-dressing we can try a handful of methods with. [He peers out from between his fingers.] ...what's the worst that could happen anymore? If it means "finishing" this world so Togusa's objective kicks in...I'll take it.

[hauntedsavior]

In my experience, plans work best when you just say "fuck it" and see what happens. [she grins, and it's less of a joke than it sounds like.] I made it this far without knowing shit about shit. Just gotta take a leap of faith, and if that leap ends with me plunging a sword into an eyeball from 300 feet up, then that's how it goes.

[all of this really is over her head. she doesn't really know what's gonna happen next or how they're gonna enact... everything that they gotta enact. instead, she picks up the grocery store cake and slides it on his desk, then pulls some cheap plastic utensils out of the grocery bag that's still in her lap.]

Come on. You got me. I can handle the brute force stuff and you know I'm good for that. You got Matthews for the magic shit, Togusa's got a tank or something... point is we got this. This is as calm as it's gonna get before the storm.

[recollecters]

So...what you're saying is to take advantage of it, eat this cake to celebrate another year of your existence and figure out a plan later? [A half-grin.] ...you're right. There isn't much else we can do just yet.
