Chapter 8 : Servitude and partnership
Ughhh...everything hurts...
How...how am I alive?
You weren't actually in danger.
Except for you know, your soul.
What are you saying SYSTEM. The Duke of burgundy, he burned me alive! The people just watched and did nothing while my flesh was charred!
So I ask you, how exactly did I survi-...what am I saying?
yeah let that sink in.
Why do I remember that... wasn't I in the lab? Wait no... the duke imprisoned me... No no no... I was in the lab trying to summon... a servant... Jeanne d'arc! SYSTEM what the hell happened!?
Simply put, the ritual went wrong. Not because you made a mistake or something.
Well technically it was your fault.
Just tell me already.
Simply put, when the servants body was being constructed, it detected a far more suitable form nearby. This being you.
So the spirit fused with me somehow, trying to take over. What happened after wards.
The GAME detected the issue and rectified it by assimilation Avengers Soul into your own.
As you can see, this has had some consequences.
Check your notifications.
Dammit, this really went sideways didn't it. Fine show me what changed.
Status update:

Noble Phantasms acquired
La Grondement Du Haine (Roar, O' Rage of Mine ) : the cursed flag possessed by Jeanne, who descended as the dragon witch. After stopping the enemy's attack, it swells up said attack and reflects it back . She can also convert her own and the surroundings' grudges into magical power, burning to ashes her opponents.( Costs 5.000.000 to use. cost decreases by 20% when battling a hated enemy, 50% when enemy is hated by the surrounding populace)
Incantation
" All evil is here."
"The time for revenge has come!"
"This is the roar of my soul that was polished by hatred..."
"La Grondement Du Haine!»
La Pucelle ( The Crimson Saint ): Blade of St. Catherine which has been reversibly corrupted by the Rage and Hatred of Saint Jeanne. It is a crystallized Conceptual Weapon that acts as an offensive interpretation of her burning at the stake, a subtype of Reality Marble that has the imagined landscape crystallized as a Cursed Holy sword. The attack is capable of Annihilating anything in Existence and must be fuelled by absolute hatred. ( Costs 100.000.000 MP and will take 99.9% of the user's Hp, followed by unconsciousness)
Incantation
The depths of Hell tell of God's Fallacy
The burning skies proclaim His handiwork
Speeches poured forth during the day and knowledge during the night
A fire has ignited within my heart and continuously burn to remind me
This is not my end
My destiny will not be denied
My life's dream will live on
Utilizing the greatest thing i have left at my disposal
I fight to reject the path He laid out
Lord, accept my Contempt
Behold, the crimson Saint!
Added to Inventory: Cursed Battle Flag, corrupted Blade of St. Catherine. (While usable as weapons, cannot be activated outside of Servant mode)
Class skills:
Avenger (B Rank): A skill representing the state of an Avenger as one that gathers people's hatreds and grudges onto oneself. It is easier for one to accumulate hatred and resentment. ( The rate of Mana generation increases by 10% when receiving damage.)
Oblivion correction (A Rank): Her hatred will never be cleared away, no matter how much time has passed. It will endure even if she is aware that her hatred is no longer Justified or righteous. ( Extreme Hatred of French and British nationals. Extreme disdain towards the House of god)
Self-Replenishment (Mana) (A+ Rank): One's magical energy endlessly surges until their revenge is accomplished. Because she was created by a wish upon the Holy Grail by Gilles de Rais, the quantity of her Mana recovery is of a higher grade. New MPr (LV x ((INT/2) +(WIS x 2)) x 12). (Will be removed should France, Great Britain and the Vatican be destroyed)
Personal Skills:
Self-Modification ( EX Rank): A special grade remodelling done by the Holy Grail. It has completely inverted the Saint and has made her fall into the Chaotic Evil alignment. ( no further use possible)
Dragon witch (EX Rank): Having been produced by Gilles' wishes, she possesses from birth the power of the Dragon kind. Believed to be an inverse phenomenon from saints possessing anecdotes of dispersing the dragon kind. Possesses a unique Charisma that makes dragons obey her and a power that raises the attack power of her allies. ( Triples REP gains with any Creatures with Dragon heritage. Increases CHA by 20. Grants 90 % increased rate of learning Fire based magic. Increases effectiveness of all fire based ability's by 50 %)
Ephemeral Dream (A Rank): A Skill that represents a lifeform born from illusions because of an individual's desire. Because she was born from one's desire, she possesses a powerful force, but at the same time, she is not permanently approved as a lifeform allowed for existence. After everything is finished, she will quietly start her slumber ( Servant mode can be used once a day)
Wow... this a lot to take in. while the Servant mode is incredibly useful, its currently unusable for me. I could theoretically activate it for 10,4 seconds before I run out of Mana, but that is barely usable for prolonged battles. If I recall, Abomination started at 1200 STR. That was his starting value! Who knows how strong he and hulk actually get over time. Not to mention how costly and specialised the noble phantasms are. Either reflect an attack or launch a suicide ray of destruction. Doesn't really matter as I wont be using them for a long long time.
I'm felling rather mixed about the other perks. Dragon witch and Self-Replenishment are absolutely great. Fire magic would be a good fit and Self-Replenishment will help out as well. At least until I burn those bastards to the ASHES!
Oh boy, and here is the other problem. Oblivion correction has altered my mind completely. I don't like mental influence even IF the Bastards fucking deserve it!
That will be annoying.
Well I Think It will be hilarious.
Your comments are unnecessary
Oh I love you too dear. But I think its time to wake up, you have a situation to settle.
Well that sounds great... opening my eyes I immediately realise. This isn't my Apartment, this isn't my lab. Shit did I get kidnapped SYSTEM?
How should I know. I know as much as you.
Damn. I prop myself up and inspect the room I'm in. While scarcely decorated, it does give a comfy feeling. Seems to be in an Asian style of sort, a temple of some kind maybe? The only kind I'm really familiar with is Japanese, and this ain't it. Did Sterns maybe bring me to some Buddhist temple here in New York?
Well I'm not figuring it out while lying in bed. Taking the blanket of I leave the Futon... its a bit cold, I thought it was still summer. And I'm wearing completely different clothes. A strange oversized robe to be exact. SYSTEM do you know how long I've been here?
I do
And?.. Come on tell me already.
I'm sorry to say this Jeanne, but you've been unconscious for five Years.
WHAT!... No No No. this cant be. Do have any Idea what a problem this is!? …... SYSTEM? All I hear is a soft giggling in my head, which evolves into full blown laughter
Hahahahahah... You should've seen your face, It was priceless I tell you.
Haha, very funny you twerp. You gonna tell me how long its really been?
About a day. Bit less actually
Oh thank goD... Damn him TO HELL! Wow even expressions infuriate me. Gonna need some new ones now. Moving on. I need to find out where I am. I Move towards the door crack it open. An inconspicuous hallway, no one insight. Well nothing ventured nothing gained.
I enter the hallway and slowly move towards what I think may be the Exit. Opening the door blasts me with a freezing gush of Air. Now I see why its so cold. Its not winter, I'm just high up in the mountains. And I have a feeling that I'm nowhere close to New york. Moving through the compound I come upon a large open area which sadly confirms my suspicions. A bunch of people in white and red robes are training choreographed movements. The sparks and magic circles in front of them say everything I need to know. I'm in Kamar-Taj.
"How the hell did I get here" I ask myself. "Its rather simple really, by the way good morning little witch." A female voice says behind me in a chipper tone. Turning around, I'm greeted by the smiling face of Tilda Swinton (Bald by the way). Shit, I need to see if I can get out of this. 'Observe'
The Ancient one LV ?
Title : Sorcerer supreme
Rep (20) (For saving her life)
Obe (0)
Thoughts you: Extreme interest. Believes your face to be familiar.
STR ?
VIT ?
DEX ?
INT ?
WIS ?
CHA ?
LUK ?
I cant even see her stats, this really has gotten dangerous. But something else confuses me.
I saved her life apparently , how did tha-
"If you're done staring at me with your strange magic, would you mind following me inside. I believe we have a few things to discuss." She interrupts my thoughts. She can perceive my Observe!?
Swallowing my rising nervousness, I follow the sorcerer supreme into the building. She leads me to an open room with a coffee table and cushions. She gestures for me to sit down and hands me an ornamental cup. "Tea?" She asks me.
"Ye...Yes please" I answer after which she fills the cup. Its pretty good.
"You must be wondering where you are, or at least why you're here, as you did seem to recognize me." She breaks the silence.
"Well, it would be dumb to practice magic without knowing whos who in this world." I answer truthfully. Her face hoverer shows that she was expecting a different answer. She continues nevertheless.
"A wise mindset, especially when one wields such unusual magic as you do. But back to the main topic of how and why you're here. You see you have had quite the effect on Kamar-Taj."
"But how? Ive never made contact with you, nor have I planned to do so for a long time." I ask. What could she possibly mean?
"To tell you the truth i'm not sure myself how you accomplished this, so please let me elaborate." The ancient one continues. She tells me of the changed timeline, how her sight of the future has been hindered and most importantly how Kaecillius fate was changed. So that's how I saved her. Kaecillius will no longer kill her in this timeline. It doest protect her from me though, something she probably hasn't considered.
I had guess that my presence would alter the time stream, but for changes to already bear consequences, truly unexpected.
"Oh my, where are my manners, even though you already know my name, we should still introduce ourselves. I am the Ancient one, Sorcerer supreme of Kamar-Taj." she told me, radiating a truly kind aura. It makes me nauseous.
Something about how she said her name, ticked me the wrong name somehow. I'm not sure, but its like I've met her before. But that's impossible...right?
"And you are?" She reminds me. Whoops better keep up with my manners, especially if she can just open a portal and shoot me into a sun or something.
"Yes of course. Sorry about that" I apologise. The beauty of being a child is that people drop their guards around you, even if you're more dangerous than you seem. Presenting a timid personality will only help with that.
"It's no problem little one." She smiles kindly. Seems like my plan may be working.
"Yes the... I'm Jeanne Dark, Orphan of New York. Nothing more really." Her eyes widen at my name, perhaps she recognises it.
"Tell me, did you chose that name yourself or were you deliberately named after Joan of Arc."
"No I.. was given it at the Orphanage, I personally think it was more of a coincidence really."
"Really, was it also a coincidence that you share the Face of the French Saint?" She asks. Damn. So she did know Jeanne/ME back then.
Urgh... with that last thought pain once again starts shooting through my mind. I see memories once again, of working a farmstead in the French countryside, a meeting with various nobles, charges against British troops, a council of my closest allies. During the last one do I see something interesting. Gilles de Rais, speaking with the very woman now sitting in front of me.
I have to confirm this. I ask her:" My face? Are you implying you knew the saint of Orleans' appearance? And that I somehow resemble her?"
"Right on all accounts actually. I briefly met her during the 100 year war. It was before I joined Kamar-taj, a time where I still used a different name..." She pauses for a bit, clearly reminiscing about the past. " As I said, your appera-"
"Breanna" I say , having just found the memory I needed.
She stares at me in Shock: "What did you just say?"
"Breanna, you came from Ireland... I think at least... I cant remember." I say knowing fully what I'm doing. "What does this mean...I... my head" ending the sentence, I clutch my head for added effect.
The ancient one would undoubtedly find out that I'm a foreign entity should she investigate. But if I plant the idea that I'm a reincarnation of Saint Jeanne, my chances of concealing the truth greatly increase. Even better if they were friends once
"Could it be? Tell me Jeanne, do you sometimes recall memories. Memories that couldn't be your own, but yet still feel real." She asks me.
Reputation with ancient one +20 (40) she believes you to be an old friend
Success. You may be a master of magic, but standard manipulation is a whole different thing do detect and avoid.
"I..Yes.. they do. In dreams mostly. Are you saying they're real?" I ask with wide eyes.
"i believe they are, but that can be investigated later. My student wishes to speak with you." She deflects, while turning my attention towards the door. There stands Kaecillius. This will be interesting.
The ancient one continues:" We would like do discuss the nature of your magic. It is fundamentally different to anything we know or are aware of. Just where did you learn such magic and at such a young age at that? I'm also interested in the ritual that you failed at, Master Kaecillius stated earlier that he couldn't discern its purpose" She questions me.
To further my credibility. I'll have to be imaginative with my answer. Saying it came from another universe wouldn't work as Kamar-taj's Magic is inherently Trans dimensional. Another interesting thing is what Kaecillius apparently reported. To my knowledge, while not knowing the true nature of the summoning, he should have been able to discern that I was manipulating a soul. Unless.. he hid that information on purpose?
SYSTEM do you have any Ideas?
Don't look at me!
I'm just a helper, I don't know squat about this stuff.
Worth a shot, I guess I'm gonna wing it then.
"To tell you the truth, i'm mostly self taught. I discovered magical energy by coincidence and have been using various books I found as reference material. Its probably unknown to you because it wasn't proper magic, more of experimentations no a basic level." I answer, hoping that my lies are suitable.
"Is that so?" She states, sceptically. Have I been found out?
The Sorcerer supreme continues: "Even so, While incredibly dangerous, this path of experimentation may yield unheard discoveries. Normally Id discourage such actions, especially if they are done by a child no less, but we may have come up with another solution."
She gestures at Kaecillius with him nodding in return :"Master Kaecillius has taken quite the interest in your 'Experiments'. Therefore we would like to assign him to you, as supervisor of sorts.
To prevent such incidents like the one from yesterday to repeat itself. If you would wish, he could also tutor you in our ways, should your own magic fail. Though that is unlikely, as it has shown great potential with how it has affected the time stream."
That has a lot of potential to end badly. Though without knowing Kaecillius intentions, I cant be sure. He did seem to lie on my behalf, but what could he want? My magic? I wont hand it over easily, but I also don't want to be surveyed by Kamar-Taj. I need my secrets, I cant give them up. I'll have to uncover Kaecillius intentions in private and enslave him should he prove an enemy.
"I.. I'd be honoured to have a master of the mystic arts help me in my studies. And to learn some of you magic would also be a great gift. Ive always been interested in the Sling rings in particular."
My answer causes the woman before me to smile once again:" I'm glad that you agree, It is a far too common occurrence that lone magicians defend their secrets vigorously. Sometimes even till death.
And learning of the sling ring is one of our first lessons anyway so that isn't a problem. Kaecillius shall take one from the temple when you leave for your home. Is there anything else you wish to ask me?"
"Not at all. If anything id like to thank you again for this chance." I say while bowing.
With the meeting over, Kaecillius leads me to the portal room, giving me my own sling ring on the way. The portals are ridiculously user friendly. No nausea or danger when coming close to the the edges. Though that apparently changes when you rapidly close one.(As seen in Infinity war).
We go through the portal and are now standing in the upper floor of my Warehouse. Time to see what's really going on.
Turning to Kaecillius as the portal vanished, I go to Question him: " I should thank you for withholding the nature of my Ritual, but no I'm very curious as to why you would do such a thing?" I ask, my voice devoid of the kind and timid girl that spoke earlier. Now it only holds blatant suspicion and a hint of venom.
He seems to smile at that revelation, as if some theory of his was proven right." I did so for the same reason that I asked to be the one to supervise you."
"And that would be?"
"I know that your magic inst the curios bumbling of a fool. It is sophisticated and structured. Therefore I wish to become your apprentice of course. "
"What... why exactly if I might ask?"
"Because you, while having failed whatever you wished to do, are far closer to granting my wish than the Ancient one ever was." He follows by telling me of his wish, his dead family and how he wishes to see them again. His fear of death and the desire to prevent it.
"You see the Ancient one collects broken people, people who wish to be healed, but forces upon them a duty that none of them wished for. She turns us to soldiers to defend against forces that she herself would use. This is why I seek a new path, a path that you may hold."
This...this is unexpected...it could grant an ally, but also empower a man who may very ell betray me.
"To me you are a stranger, while I understand your plight, it does not make me trust you. If I take an apprentice in you , then you must be absolutely loyal. As this is not the case, therefore I cannot help you." I start to walk away. This is just far to great a risk to take.
"Please wait. There is another way." he pleads
I turn back to him:"and what would that be?" What could he possibly offer?
"A magical contract" He says while forming a magic circle." you must merely state the conditions for my apprenticeship and with my agreement, the magic will be bound. Both of us will be forced to uphold it by our own magic."
He really is desperate, giving me so much power over him. I need to think clearly of this, make sure I don't make any mistakes and leave loopholes for me to abuse. My main goal is to make sure that I don't end up teaching him. He is strong enough, not to mention that I wouldn't even know how to teach him my magic.
There is a party system actually.
You could use that.
Are you insane SYSTEM?! Revealing the existence of the game to anyone t all is completely of the table. Like I said one before. The less people know of my true capabilities the better. I'm gonna get out of the apprenticeship no matter what.
Looking at the circle, I begin listing my conditions:" Kaecillius. You will follow my command, never questioning nor judging it. You may advise and aid but not obstruct or spy on the behalf of others. I will be your first and foremost Master. And in return you will have your family resurrected and your Life extended granted. DO YOU ACCEPT!" I boom out.
While shortly contemplating the fact that the apprenticeship was left out and that he will basically be slave to me, he quickly resolves those thoughts and says : "I accept this contract"
As to be accepted of the man who sold his soul to a World eating demon. With his response the Magic circle breaks into two and enters both our bodies.
Magical contract (Sealed) acquired.
Wit the deal sealed I approach him, informing him of the next steps:" Now then. While not being able to directly resurrect the dead, I should be able begin the first steps within 3 weeks. The final process may only be possible in a few years. During that time you will teach me the machinations of the sling ring and nothing more. I'm not interested in any magic of Kamar-taj and do not want to make the effort to learn it. You will not learn any of my magic, as it is fundamentally different to yours and would take far to long to teach. Do you have any questions."I say using my new authority over him.
"No.. I do not. I Have waited years grasping at nothing. I do not mind waiting a few more now that I have a chance."
"Very good. Follow me then, we have a scientist to introduce you to. Hopefully there wont be issues with that."
The meeting with Sterns went better than expected. I hadn't been gone for long so he didn't worry to much. A little bit though. Apparently he was trying to hire some assassins to hunt the sorceress down and rescue me. Nothing to serous as you can see.
Kaecillius was rather amazed at Sterns story and my following announcement that the immortality he sought will probably be given through scientific means.
Another great thing was that I only promised to extend his life, not make It immortal. If he somehow abuses a loophole then i'll be quick to kill him.
/
The days after that were truly calm for a change. Its about time dammit. Sterns was trying to crack Blonsky's blood, Kaecillius trained me with the sling ring in the mornings, after which he assisted Sterns in the lab and did whatever. Apparently he enjoyed the free time he was getting now something he didn't have as a master in Kamar-Taj.
I would then enter a dungeon in the midday and train at Colleen's dojo in the evening. Its Tuesday now, nearly 4 days since I left Kamar-taj. The time used was well spent if you read through my progress.
Portal mastery (aided) = LV 22
Mana manipulation levelled up to 42
CQC levelled up to LV 42
Manipulation levelled up to 85
Dungeon crawling was without a doubt the most profitable. Not only did I get a chance to use my deactivated noble phantasms, but also took the time to learn elemental magic from my grimoire
Sword mastery = LV 24
Pole arm mastery= LV 22
Fire magic LV 42
Water magic LV 3
Wind magic LV 11
Earth magic LV 8
ID Create LV 12
ID Escape LV 12
It safe to say that fire is my favourite. I seem do be developing quite the streak of pyromania. What I was confuse about at first was the lack of individual skills that the grimoire should've given me. Instead of "Fire ball" or "Earth quake" , I just got a single skill for the magic. Turns out that I have to manually manipulate the element I chose to to what I want it to. And the stronger my level the more I can do.
Something else that worries me is concerning my stat growth . After 4 days of constant training
STR + 8
VIT + 6
DEX + 14
INT + 3
CHA +8
simply put, i'm getting diminishing returns. My levels aren't doing any better

Once again pretty good.
Getting dressed I move towards the kitchen and prepare a Human liver in a frying pan. What? I cant eat dead shield goon forever. So I've been abducting the homeless found all over new york. The issue was of course whether devour starts escalating my hunger even further. An interesting thing happened with that. Something i've also been using in the dungeon constantly. I can more or less will the sin of Gluttony into submission and prevent it of devouring stats that way. So I can eat without increasing hunger. Ive also started preparing the food myself, because I really got sick of eating the flesh raw. It was rather difficult at first, but now I'm making culinary delights.
Cooking LV -1
I hate you GAME.
Eating my meal I prepare to leave and start another day of training. I'm interrupted at the door by my ringing phone. Was I expecting a call ?
Accepting the call, I'm addressed by a young boys voice. Look who finally decided to call.
"Hello Jeanne?... Its Peter..uh.. Peter Parker. We met at the library last week. I'm not sure If you remember bu-"
"Of course I remember you Pete, I take it your calling to make up for copping a feel?"i ask in a cheerful tone which causes him to stutter out.
"N..No.. I mean yes.. I .. ah..." I hear him swallow." I wanted to ask if you had time today, as I thought I could show you around Queens like you wanted. If you have the time I mean."
"I actually had something planned, but I'll cancel it. Id love to meet up with you Pete."
"I don't want to force you if you're busy"
"Don't worry about it, Ive been dying for something else to do, so its great that you called."
"well ok then. Can you meet me at the Unisphere in Flushing meadows park at 11?"
I definitely can. See you there Peter."I say and hang up. Look like I got a date with spider-man. I'm gonna work on his confidence first. But not to quickly. I wanna get the most of teasing him like this.
But I wanna dress to impress. With that in mind, I head out to the best clothing store I can afford with my 19.000$. might as well splurge a bit.

Peter Parker
He was having a really bad feeling about this. Peter didn't really interact with a lot of people, especially not his own age. well maybe Harry, but they've been friends since ages. Their parents had known each other, before his died. Peter was still saddened by the sudden death of his parents. But his aunt and uncle have been taking great care of him.
Speaking of which, when he told aunt May that he somehow made new friend, she had been a bundle of joy. Especially when he told her that it was a girl that even gave her number to him. Both of his guardians were downright impressed, commending him on the achievement.
He wasn't sure if the point got across that it basically happened by accident, or if they simply didn't care.
Damn his Parker luck.
His hand were full at first, as he had a project at school, had to help his uncle repairing some wiring in their circuit breaker and lastly help Harry with his homework. But when his schedule cleared up when the school shut down for a week due a renewal in their ventilation and electric systems, did he realise that he was actually just biding for time. He used every chance he got to find something else to do other than call the girl. It took some pushing from aunt May to finally get him to do it.
To say he was nervous at the call would've been an understatement. He was sweating bullets. He had been sure that he would somehow mess it up, but in the end he actually invited the girl. She was somehow easy to talk to, or was good at making others talk. Peter wasn't sure.
So here he was now, wearing jeans and a dress shirt(courtesy of aunt May), waiting for a girl whose last name he didn't even know. He had come early, by half an hour actually and was now waiting at one of the benches in the park.
He didn't wait long for a voice to call out to him"Hey peter!" He turned around and saw the girl waving at him. She was wearing a black halter vest over a long-sleeve white shirt with a red ribbon attached to the collar. Beneath that she wore a black and red pleated plaid skirt, black pantyhose and black-brown ankle boots. While relatively simple, he thought that she looked very pretty in the getup. Another thing he noticed was the hair ,which really was snow white, with the excess hair beyond the bob cut formed into a braid.
"Am I really that pretty for you to start catching flies." She interrupted his thoughts. Had he been staring?
"No I …. I men yes you're pretty, but I.. sorry." his of guard reaction only made her giggle. A nice giggle actually. God, what did he just get himself into.

Jeanne Dark
I was having one hell of a time. Peter actually picked out some nice places to see and teasing him was really fun. And with time he started opening up, getting rid of that nervousness with jokes here and there really helped. First we talked about normal things like what we liked, hobbies and what else. But after a while,we got into some heavier territory when he asked me where I went to school.
Not making the effort to lie I told him that I didn't go and was living alone as an orphan. This at first made him apologise again even with assurance from me that it was fine. Guess were in the same boat as orphans...
Well at least his parents actually cared, and didn't throw him into a dumpster like me. I didn't tell him that of course. He spilled his guts as well, talked about how his parents died in a plane crash and how His uncle and aunt took him in. Didn't this mean that his parents were Shield or CIA? And doesn't that mean that his family might still get checked in by Fury? Oh boy. Worried about this will only cause me a headache.
Deciding to lighten the mood, peter takes us to a place called Mick's Restaurant. Best fries in the city he says. I'll be putting that to the test. Ive definitely built up an appetite. Entering the place, peter leads me to a booth we can sit in, overclocking the street just outside. Its nice , a lot of plants and a homey feeling with it. This place is a favourite among the Parker's I hear.
"Heya Pete, Scored yourself a date did ya" An elderly voice calls out approaching us. While Peter tries to deny that this is a date, I just stare Slack jawed at the man. Who wouldn't, when you suddenly see Stan lee wearing a waiters uniform in front of you. I need to know who the hell this is. "Observe"

Rep: Well, what's this.
