Part 3: Update 3: EXPOSITION
Update 3: EXPOSITION...
: Whew. I'm alive again. You couldn't have come at a better time.
: Wouldn't most people be more grateful? Anyway, I have to run an errand, so...: Don't sweat the details! Plus, I'm broke, so even if I wanted to pay you, I couldn't.: *Sigh* Just forget it, I'll buy more.: Man, can't you take a joke?
: Oh um... I'm Luca Milda.: Oh man, not good!: What's wrong?: I just remembered something, I uh, was asked to do some shopping.Left the stove on, eh Iria?
: A-anyways, gotta run!: Are you being chased?
Gonna take that as a yes.
: Boy, that would've been great to know a few minutes ago...: !!
Oh, shit.
This sounds perfectly legitimate and above board!
: .......
You tried.
: Uh, no, I mean...: Hey! That kid has nothing to do with this!: Luca, right? Hurry up and get out of here!
I'm gonna chose the cowardly option, because I don't like Iria.
: ..........
Scripted fight. Easy peasy.
: I was probably just lucky, I've never been in a fight before...: That power just now...
: W-who's there?: Mathias!: You followed me this far, I told you I don't know anything!
: S-sensus? The same Sensus that waged war on the Ratio?: ?!
: Stay back! You saw my power before, the power of the Arch-Demon Asura sleeps within me!Aww yeah.
: A-asura?!
: W-what's so funny? Are you stepping up or not?Steppin' up. Them's fightin' words.
Who cares.
: Hey, come here!Time to run!
running!
: I don't know where to start, first off, what are you doing with those pistols!?: My parents gave them to me for self defense!: Anyway, I'll tell you everything, you're the same as me...COMPULSORY SKIT TIME!
: And with that power... came these dreams...: Dreams... just like me...: In my hometown of Sania Village, there were other kids just like me.: Our parents always warned us not to use our powers in front of people...: Eventually, Mathias and her Arca religion thing showed up...: Mathias demanded I tell her where the "manifest" is... but I don't know what that is!: But Mathias knew about my power... that I could use the Devic Artes...I believe that's "Heavenly artes.
: Devic Artes... that power I used earlier? That the church used long ago?: Devic Artes don't belong on Naraka. They're the power of the gods from Devaloka, long ago.: In other words, here on Naraka, it's the abominable power of the Fallen that everyone fears.: Mathias targeted my village to get to me. : They wanted to force me to join them!: But what about the Compulsory Fallen Rehab Program? Are they exempt or something?: I really don't know. In any case, my parents helped me escape, and I fought my way here.: So what's the manifest thing?: I really don't know. I guess it has to do with my past life though...: P-past life?!: What happens in our dreams. Mathias says that's our memories from our past lives.: So that must mean this Inanna chick was somehow related to that "Manifest"?: HUH? Whaaaat? YOU'RE Inanna?!: Well, yeah? What about it!?: I mean.. Well.. I'm Asura in my dreams!: In Devaloka, Among the gods, I commanded the Sensus! : And there was a beautiful woman named Inanna who I...: Who I, um...
: I'm sure that Inanna lived happily with a lover like him!: Um...: Anyway, I guess the first thing to do is to learn about that Manifest thing, right?: Huh? Oh yeah, that's true...: What could be worth attacking a whole village over?: They said they wanted to use it to create Utopia...
: Just like you, Ir- I mean, Miss Animi...: Hey. how about this-- come with me! We'll find the Manifest before they do!
: There must be other people who have memories of the Devic era, like you and me...: That means they'll also be targeted by the Avatar Hunt.: If we don't hurry, we might all get caught!: .....: (Eddy and Nico saw my power... they might report it...): That's true... I'll help out! Lets hurry, Miss Animi!
: My parents gave me this, but you can use it.
Iria joined the party, and we got a sword! Nice.
This is a pretty good place to stop, hopefully next update will be less plot heavy!
