Hikaru smriked, "I have no idea." She then glanced to Asura, who looked a bit lost.

"You don't rememb-" Asura paused, then finally realized Hikaru's hint. "Right, me neither. What were we talking about again?"

"You better fucking tell me!" Gaserlake yelled as he pointed at Hikaru and Asura back and forth. "He's probably the goddamn reason I'm subgrounded in the first goddamn fucking place! Not that I don't want to be subgrounded, but I have reason to believe that he's the one that keeps me alive all the fucking time!"

"And I should care why? Not exactly my problem." Hikaru looked to Asura, "Are we done now? I kind of have a match to get back to."

"Oh right the match!" Asura jumped, as she remembered. "Well I do think that's all I had to say." She nodded, "Yes, we're basically done."

"AAAAAAGH!" he screamed. He punched the shelf closest to him. Normally, it would be flying for miles, literally, but time has bolted them to the floor. This just irritated him more and more as the shelf did nothing. However, the shockwaves were strong and were felt on the ground, which shook. The books were also violently shaking. He then laughed manic as he still punched, which caused the punches to be weaker, but still very strong. "Why? Cuz I'll kill you. That's why," he said as he continued to laugh manic. He went to the shelf opposite of him and punched it, again failing but having the same effect.

Hikaru just looked skeptic. Well apparently he's lost it. Quite literally. Did she dare drag it further? Hell yes! "Riiiiight, because you can really kill me," Hikaru taunted, "I mean not that Asura just said that was impossible and all. But anyways. I would love to say what I know and everything, however, there's a little something keeping me from doing so." Hikaru paused, "Oh, now what could that possibly be? Oh right! You see, there's this little situation I'm in, being your damn prisoner and all. That along with these quite ugly fashion statements, are pretty convincing enough to have me not say a word." She laughed.

Asura stood by, just watching. He couldn't damage the shelves or the books, so it wasn't her concern.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #55 on:** October 03, 2010, 02:52:32 AM »

He stopped punching the shelves. Tears began to form in his eyes. "You know what? Fine! Keep your fucking thing a secret! Let's just go."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #56 on:** October 03, 2010, 03:01:44 AM »

Hikaru didn't move, instead she just looked at him. She wanted to know something first. This was the same person she had been dealing with, yet then why... Something just didn't add up. "If you wanted to know so badly, then why didn't you just read my mind?" Hikaru asked, puzzled. "It's not like I can shield it."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #57 on:** October 03, 2010, 03:20:42 AM »

Gaserlake wiped away his tears. "I have agreed to you that I wouldn't read your mind."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #58 on:** October 03, 2010, 03:38:46 AM »

"Yet you still won't let go of that damn contract?! " Hikaru sighed. She knew when her methods weren't working, and this was one of them. Why wouldn't he just rip it already?! She had information he wanted, and he obviously wanted it bad. Yet he STILL wouldn't free her? In normal circumstances she would think he'd give up the contract before resorting to read her mind, if what he said was true, anyways. In reality, she would think her mind would have been read long before contract or her saying it willingly. Yet, he was doing neither, one or the other. He was about as damn stubborn and she was, and Hikaru was becoming greatly annoyed because of it. "Whatever then." Hikaru snapped her fingers, and a memory-hologram of what had happened the whole time the Man had been there, played back, including before he got there and when he left. "

Asura stood by and just watched, waiting for the arguments to settle.

When he finished watching it, he laughed. "Looks like he loves you two. He wants to have some fun with you. Of course, he's going to whether you like it or not. He won't give you a choice. He'll give you a choice, but it has consequences. Unforeseen consequences."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #60 on:** October 03, 2010, 04:18:28 AM »

"Hmph, he can try." Hikaru snapped back, "But my choices are my own. All of them. Every last one." She looked away as she sad that last part. " And they will stay that way. He tries anything? I will do the exact opposite of everything that seems to be too easy or coincidental. And if I can't, I will do nothing. What the hell is wrong with you? Doesn't it bother you at all that you've been manipulated? Free will forcefully messed with?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #61 on:** October 03, 2010, 04:30:17 AM »

"How would you know if doing the opposite or doing nothing is what he wants you to do, huh?" Gaserlake smiled. "He's damn hard to catch. You don't know if what you're doing right now is what he's planning. He could be planning the whole damn thing. I... I don't know if I want to be manipulated. It might have saved my life, but sometimes I feel like I want to die, but no, HE HAS TO HAVE IT HIS WAY!"

Queen Bright · « **Reply #62 on:** October 03, 2010, 04:43:30 AM »

Hikaru raised an eyebrow and looked at him skeptically, "Paranoid much?" Hikaru rolled her eyes. "Whether it's what he wants or not, it does not matter. I'm not going to worry about it, because even if it's influenced, it is still my own choice. Because it is what I WANT to do. For example, I wanted to start a war to kick your ass, for what you bastards are doing in disgrace to magic. I WANTED to piss you off in the worst possible way that I could manage. And I wanted to bring you back. These were all my choices. Be them good, or bad. They were still what I chose because I wanted to. And if some being wants to claim influence over such? Let him, he lies. Because Free will is still there, choice is still in the hands of the person, even if they're being manipulated."

"She's right!" Asura piped up. "And there's no embodiment of Free Will, because free will is the right every being with sentience has. Sentience basically is free will. Without it, existence would do... well nothing! Life would not live, because everyone would be the same."

"And no one would stand against it. Because no one would know what the choice to say no is." Hikaru added.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #63 on:** October 03, 2010, 04:49:58 AM »

"Every action has its consequences," Gaserlake calmly said. "He lays down the consequences. You have limited choices. He gives you free will, but he doesn't give you much choice. There's a reason why he chose you two. Like I said, you have great potential. You stand out among the rest. Same with you, Asura, even though I haven't met anyone like you, so there is no actual comparison, but he doesn't choose just anybody. You need a good damn reason for him to choose you. A good benefit of it is that you have a less chance of dying."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #64 on:** October 03, 2010, 04:53:17 AM »

Hikaru glowered, narrowing her eyes, "Potential can go to hell. But there's the answer right there, If consequences are the result for limited choices. Then walk straight into the consequences. IIf there's consequences of something, then that usually means it's supposed to be off limits. I would rather suffer whatever consequences there may be, then go with someones game. Especially not being able to die. Nothing to lose to go against." Hikaru shrugged.

Gaserlake · « **Reply #65 on:** October 03, 2010, 05:07:17 AM »

"The consequences IS his game. He makes things happen. You just cause it to happen. He's the effect. He makes things happen accordingly to your action."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #66 on:** October 03, 2010, 05:20:16 AM »

"Then I will do nothing." Hikaru snapped. "Can't manipulate that. Now are we done?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #67 on:** October 03, 2010, 05:35:35 AM »

"Fine, do nothing. He'll just add a consequence to it. He doesn't manipulate, only influence. Alright, fine. Let's go."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #68 on:** October 03, 2010, 05:52:57 AM »

"So be it then, at least I wasn't a pawn. Like you." Hikaru shot back. She then turned to Asura, "Wait, before we go. The reason you even brought me here. My kids, you can't edit their Timeline, but could they edit their own?"

Asura tilted her a head a bit, thinking. "Well, yes, because everyone is the master of themselves."

"Good," Hikaru grinned, "Then I ask one favor. I need to look through the spell books here, to find the certain spells to guide them. There must be an infinite number of spell books and other writeups on magic. There has to be something that would be of use."

"Well..." Asura leaned on her staff, thinking deeply. "You're going to be my successor anyways...." She perked her head up and grinned, "Go right ahead!"

"Thank you."

"No problem! Good luck." Asura tapped her staff and Hikaru disappeared to the magic section of the Records. "So," Asura glanced to Gaserlake, when they were alone. "Any ideas who the pest is?"

Gaserlake · « **Reply #69 on:** October 03, 2010, 06:00:42 AM »

"Well, he showed up after my parents died, and you're missing the book of my father, so I'm thinking that he's my father. But... he doesn't look like him. He doesn't act like him. He's like a completely different person. Other than that, I don't know. Anyway, you've got to watch out for Hikaru. She's bloody damn ignorant. He WOULD make her a pawn whether she likes it or not. Same with you. You two would just have to learn to deal with it. I've dealt with him for thousands of years."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #70 on:** October 03, 2010, 06:06:06 AM »

"So you think he became Ingrounded, then?" Asura asked, then added, "And in case you haven't noticed. Miss Hikaru values freedom and free will over any other attribute in existence. She doesn't like to be controlled. And I really can't blame her. Anyways, he can try to influence Time, he will find it very hard to do."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #71 on:** October 03, 2010, 06:24:49 AM »

"Yeah. Probably became ingrounded. But the question would be, why? Why would he do this to us? If he's my father, why is he doing this to me? Hell, it wouldn't matter if he's my father or not."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #72 on:** October 04, 2010, 12:19:59 AM »

"I would believe it has to do with Irrationality." Asura replied. "Because Subgrounded become Ingrounded, through Irrationality, the contradictions outweighing the tautology. I would say Irrationality plays an even bigger part, as its actions without reason. Maybe, the Ingrounded develop the power of Irrationality its self, to use it to cause things in existence to be Irrational at their will. Which would make, them, themselves, Irrational as well."

Gaserlake · « **Reply #73 on:** October 04, 2010, 01:34:49 AM »

"So, his mind is irrational, too? Well, that must explain a lot of things. A lot of weird shit has come around ever since he showed up."

Queen Bright · « **Reply #74 on:** October 04, 2010, 01:42:50 AM »

"It's only speculation." Asura leaned upon her staff as she continued to wait for Hikaru. Reading every spell book in time? That would take an eternity. But she knew Hikaru had her ways, hopefully. "Anyways, he won't be able to get his hands on Miss Hikaru," Asura yawned a bit, "There's another class I didn't say. Other than Surgrounded, Subgrounded, and Ingrounded. And because she is Subgrounded, once she becomes my successor. I believe she will be that other class. Subgrounded, with the newfound powers of Surgounding. What that one race once was, Dualgrounded."
