I'm sorry. This came to me at school... I'm working on the next chapter of House of Black, honest, but it's being a bitch and so I decided to let off some steam. Feel free to yell.


Ring. Ring. Ring. Click.

"This better be good, I've got work in two hours."

"Yeah, well… Yasuhiko, you know they trashed The World?"

"Yeah…"

"And you know they brought out a new one?"

"Yes, I did know that… idiot. Is this what you called me for? I'm going to kill you."

"First, no. Second, no thanks. And third, actually, I played it."

"But we were boycotting it… for Aura."

"Well, she's already there."

"Dammit, that game is mine!"

"Yasuhiko, wait! I discovered something… important."

"How… important? More important than that hobo that keeps stalking you?"

"He's not stalking me! …He thinks I'm his mother. But yeah, more important than Random Hobo Guy."

"…People started collapsing again?"

"More important than that."

"Really? There's something more important?"

"Yeah. See, there's this obnoxious PKK wandering around, named Haseo…"

"Uh-huh. What about him? …It's not Elk, is it?"

"What the hell? Elk? Where did that come from?"

"Seems like the sort of thing you'd say to bother me."

"No. It's not Elk."

"…Helba?"

"No way."

"Piros?"

"I wish. That would be hysterical."

"So, I give up. This Haseo guy… who is he?"

"Dunno."

"What's he like?"

"Really creepy. But anyway, he asked me about this thing called 'Tri-Edge'. Some PK."

"Yeah? Someone we know?"

"…Sort of."

"What are you hiding?"

"Well, I asked him about it, and it seems Tri-Edge… has another name."

"What? Who?"

"Heh… well, I did some digging, called in some favours, and discovered that Tri-Edge is an AI. Seems he's one of Aura's."

"Where are you going with this?"

"His 'real' name is… Azure Kite."

"…Okay, what? That doesn't even make any sense."

"Okay, well, I have this theory."

"Oh no. Not a theory."

"Yeah. I think… he is…"

"Go on."

"MineandAura'sillegitimatecyberlovebaby…."

"What was that?"

"I think… it is… mine and Aura's illegitimate cyber love-baby."

"How does that even work? I mean, even if we accept the idea and don't cast it out as you being an idiot again, as you are prone to be--"

"You have one too! It's called Azure Orca and it has a huge patch across it's face-"

Click. Beep. Beep. Beep.

"…Yasuhiko?"
