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.

You too, huh?

Yeah. I'm no tech genius, but I think I should be able to worm something out of the higher ups if I can gain their trust.

I'm probably better mid-low range anyway.

It'll be frowned upon if I just suggest storming the place and breaking in to find out whatever we want to learn, won't it.

[Lancer. Always with the simple solutions to problems.]

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.

You mentioned earlier you were gonna try force your way into the church, right? If it's alright, can I contact you if I need an extra hand in something?

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.

No offense, Saori, but I know a couple of secret agents, and you don't strike me as the type.

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

There are already a couple of people working on that, but more eyes are always helpful.

Sure! I'm always willing to help.

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 for the vote of confidence.

Well maybe they wouldn't expect someone like me to try and infiltrate them, right?

All the more reason for me to help out. We all want to know why we were brought here and if this church has any clues, we'll be one step close to knowing the trust.

I wanna go, too.

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.

It's because of me going, isn't it? Sorry, I should've told you before I posted this.

Could I help?

Saori, please tell me you have a solid plan for this escapade of yours.

It's simple really. Pretend that I'm interested in converting, they take me in. I'll gain their trust, especially the higher ups and send out photos, audio or video clips inside the church.

Let me guess. You're going to tell me not to do this, aren't you?

I'd like to, but I have the strangest feeling that you won't listen. However I will tell you not to expect it to go so smoothly.

Maybe. Though I'm worried if too many of us are in on this, the locals might get suspicious. Then again, they don't seem to question us being here in Prospero to being with so maybe there's a chance they won't notice anything.

We need someone on the inside. If that church holds something that can help us learn why we were brought here and/or how get you guys back home, this might be our only chance.

I'm not expecting that at all but I'm playing it safe. Besides, I have people who'll back me up if I do get into to trouble.

Unfortunately I see your logic, and I even agree. Have you done something like this before? [He's just worried that you're going to get in over your head]

You're going to need to be more careful than just counting on them to be idiots. Kaji does this kind of thing and he has decades of training...well, I think he does this kind of thing. He wouldn't be very good at it if I was sure...

*He makes a noise of agreement.*

But I'm going to tell you the same thing I've told everyone else who wanted to try this. Be careful. If they are connected to Dark Hour and us being here, it's possible that they have some kind of power.

Working undercover? First time actually but I shouldn't have too much of a problem winning their favor though.

Working undercover is not as easy as the spy novels make it seem.

I will. Hopefully I won't have to deal with them during the Dark Hour. If anything, I'd rather do that part of the investigation with back up.

Yes, I do realize that. I wasn't planning on doing this entirely solo. I'd have others decide based on whatever I gathered.

As long as you're not convinced that it is all going to go according to plan, and that you have adequate back up.

Let me know before you do anything too dangerous, then. I have the names of a few people who might be able to help.

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.

No, it's fine, I'd wanna go anyway. Even if it's just as back up.

Well, it would be comforting to have someone I know while I was there. Thank you.

Sure thing. Going in alone probably ain't the best idea.

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.

Sure thing. Let's hope I won't need it. Thanks for offering your help.

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