17: Investigation Times [text]

I know there are people who are volunteering to help with the investigations on the Church through hacking and what not, but what about on a more personal level? If no one else has volunteered yet, maybe I could help with an undercover infiltration for investigation. They might have records or something of value that's not found in their computers.

Don't worry, I should be able to take of myself.

Yeah, we need a more subtle approach.

Well, I don't intend to use violence. I plan to pretend to be a converted devout, gain their trust and find some insider information for people.

Right. Well, if you need someone to use a less delicate touch, look me up.

I'd offer to help now, but I'm still a bit tired of covert operations, after working for someone who was rather obsessed with them.

That's fine, so don't worry about it.

Of course I'll try send out a message if I need help. I just hope I won't need it though. I'd rather not die again if possible.

I'd say you get used to it, but no. It's a bother each and every time.

So, try not to get yourself killed.

No kidding. First time was getting my soul ripped out of my body by force. Second time was zombies. Neither of those weren't fun at all.

I'll be very careful. Thanks for your concern.

You had your soul ripped out? How exotic. Did you piss off a goddess or something?

No, a supernatural creature wanted to eat my soul to get a power boost. He also wanted to take his time eating my body as an extra treat. Having your soul and body ripped apart from each other is very painful and apparently pain is the best spice to creeps like them.

Thing is, I don't remember what happened after he ate my body except I wound up here when I woke up.

['Supernatural creature?' ...Well, the Fair Folk were pretty mercurial about being jerks or being benevolent. It certainly sounded like something that could be up their alley.]

My condolences. Sounds fairly unpleasant, even if you can't remember the entirety of the ordeal.

Fair's fair for making you recall those memories, I suppose. In the name of full disclosure, I've had "weakened via broken geas, died tied upright to a stone", and "forced to stab my own heart out" to my name.

Thanks. At least I'm getting a second chance at life by being here. Even if it involves fighting shadows, having a Persona and dealing with jerks like Gilgamesh on a daily basis.

A geas, huh? I've been meaning to review Celtic mythology for a long time to be honest.

Oh? You actually know what a geas is? Last time I mentioned it some kid ran up to me talking about rebellions or something. It was a bit disappointing.

Guess you can say I inherited my father's passion for mythology and folklore from all over the world. He used to read them to me and my brother when we were little.

Oh I think I know what that person meant. Can't be helped since that's something rather recent.

Trust me on this; when you lived and died by them, it's a bit disappointing to hear they've become all but forgotten.
