"And? What if I don't want to do that either? It's way too late to change anything, but I don't want to embrace it either. It's... Never mind. It's stupid."

As the pancakes arrive at their table Dalia picks up her knife and fork and starts to angrily mangle her pancakes.

"If it's too late to change anything, what choice do you have?"

[Akroma]

Icarus goes to spend more of Titus money. Or she would, but there is no clothes in the world fitting her hips

[Kansa]

Alice went off with Icarus to go to a clothes shop,
"We... We could get something for your body back home, even if nothing will fit this one."

[Akroma]

"Then it wouldn't fir either, because I can' try it on either way."

[Kansa]

Alice sighed,
"I... I suppose you're right, it is a shame though." they entered into the shop "It should be fun tonight"

[Akroma]

"Unless this isolated culture has developed a very weird music and dance style."

[USEC_OFFICER]

Dalia frowns as she thinks about her reply to Kaiser, torn between her need to show him up and her desire to keep things secret. Eventually she comes up with an awkward compromise, "That's the problem, because if I do then I wouldn't exist. Or I would but my mind would be..." She trails off, not quite certain where she's going with this as it leads into uncharted, metaphysical territory. "It's stupid, okay? But I'm also scared about what would happen if I did, because then I wouldn't be me anymore... Okay? Does that settle anything?"

[Projeck37]

"Continue."
Linda takes a seat.
"Hmmm...?"

[PrivateNomad]

She notices a small blob of mercury slithering away...

"Well, if I think about all the clues you've given me, I'd say you have a parasite of some form attempting to take over your body and/or mind. How close was that?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

Dalia frowns and remains silent as she keeps on attacking her pancakes, thus confirming what Kaiser has just said. She adds, "Not attempting, it's already happened. Just... I dunno. It's still complicated."

[smurfingtonthethird]

((Gokukoku no brynhildr? enough of the anime already

oh god, i didn't even have to look that name up, help me))

"So... you, as in your current self, are the parasite?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

Dalia's frown gets a little wider as she explains, "No... I'm... I can't remember how Osmodus explained it exactly. George is the parasite, I'm just his... meat puppet, I guess. Apparently my nerves don't work properly or something, so I should be dead a long time ago. But George doesn't want me to die because he feeds off of all of the magic I generate plus he has a bunch of tentacles inside of me, so he's using them to run my body and junk. Including my brain. Meaning that when I move my hand it's not me moving my hand, it's George. Or he's moving my muscles or something. But I'm not George, I'm just... George pushing the buttons that makes me me." Dalia quickly realizes that she's not explaining anything in a clear manner and so asks, "Am I making any sense here?"

((... Huh?))

[smurfingtonthethird]

((there's a manga where what are seemingly girls with insane powers are actually parasites in human shells

i thought dalia may have been inspired by it))

"So... George acts as your nervous system, then? Seems like a symbiotic relationship, so why is that bad? Or is it because you are a subpersonality of the parasite?"

[USEC_OFFICER]

"Because..." Dalia shuts up for a few moments as she thinks about that question for a few seconds. Finally she says, "Because it's not a symbiowhatever relationship. George is the one running my mind and junk. The only reason I still have one is because he's a stupid animal or something like that. Would you be happy if CORE could just dick around in your head whenever he wanted to? Because George can definitely do that, and he's probably been doing that."

((Oh. Well I've never of it before today, so eh. Just a concidence. I definitely didn't take any inspiration for Dalia from that.))
