::So, Onni, you've cornered your cousin... and you find there are two of her.

And one is unzipping her back like it's a suit, as the demon Noriko climbs out.::

[theheadmonarch]

That's me, the cutest teenage Empress of Japan. Why do you look like a cat got your tongue?

::Blink blink.::

::That's definitely your cousin. Back in high school. Hair dyed pink. And if she insisted she was a cat girl. And definitely Gyaru coded.::

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Oh fuck. Ohhh fuck. Don't panic, Onni. Don't panic. ]

You should, uh. See for yourself.

[ Breathes onto thin air, fogging it up, as he rubs it clean with his sleeve as it manifests into a mirror to show your reflection back at you. ]

[theheadmonarch]

... Oh. At least we look like the cat's meow?

::Blink blink.::

[becomeanwarrior]

Isn't that the least of our worries!?

I'm still trying to figure out how to deal with a certain God-Empress from another timeline!

[theheadmonarch]

Well. You should be more concerned with the fact she's going to use the [qrzbaf] of their [Jnec-Nolff bs gur Vzzngrevhz] to consume our reality, starting with Earth.

[becomeanwarrior]

The hell is a-

[ Wait. Hold on. There's only a number of things that can be. Hold on. Think, you stupid detective!

Grabbing and shaking you. ]

She's going to use a queerz-baff, right? That's what you said?

[theheadmonarch]

No, I said [qrzbaf]. It's not an "A", it's "the". Plural.

[becomeanwarrior]

Don't confuse me now, cuz!! I'm onto something!

[ Points at you. ]

Queerz-baff.

[ Points at your phone. ]

Aisenburn. Babs. Queerz-baff.

Yes?

[theheadmonarch]

No. Aisenburn has nothing to do with [qrzbaf] except as a comparison point of the reality that you're dealing with!

[qrzbaf] is like the thing that took over the hotel.

[becomeanwarrior]

And what is that comparison point? I don't think you effectively communicated that either!

Right, right! queerz-baff! [ Pulls up phone. It's an image of Shiroko sucking down boba tea. ] Queerz-baff!

[theheadmonarch]

The comparison is that that world is a ["Znkvzhz"] in the same way Aisey is a ["Znkvzhz Shfvba"]. That's why I sung Heats and Storm, why are you so bad at this!? Do I need to sing Dragon too!?

That's not [Qrzbaf]. The thing you fought in that hotel is a [Qrzba]!

[becomeanwarrior]

The hell is a Zank-vz-herz? I get the Getter comparisons but I don't get what you mean by the rest of it!

I get Queerz-baff are Otherworlders, you airhead! That's what I was trying to establish! Shiroko's part otherworlder, if you've forgotten!

[theheadmonarch]

["Znkvzhz"] is why I sang Heats! THINK!

No, why would I remember that, that [Qrzba] inside her is never fronting!

[becomeanwarrior]

That's why I was asking for clarification! It's almost like I don't know half the leaps of logic you take, cuz! Ugggh! Okay, so, she's using Otherworlders to consume our world... okay, I don't know how she's directing them, but.

Well, you told me "Combiner" is wrong. "Fusion" doesn't have enough syllables... Zank-vis-herz... Zank-viz-herz...

[ Squints a bit. Then a lot more. Looking at you. Pulling up a picture of Aisenburn on the phone. Squinting. Looking back at you. ]

...You can't mean to tell me you mean 'Maximum'.

[theheadmonarch]

Ding ding ding, Ping Pong.

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Rears his head back and slams his whole noggin into yours. ]

HOW AM I SUPPOSED TO KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN BY THAT, YOU SUPER DOUBLE BIMBO?

[theheadmonarch]

OW!

It's very important to understand their world is a ["Znkvzhz"]!

[becomeanwarrior]

[ Hrmphs, rubbing his head where he slammed into yours. ]

Okay, fine their world is a Maximum - if we use that logic, it's a super-amalgamate of three different worlds - of course, by worlds, we mean doomed timelines - Dying Rose Gardens, or whatever - right?

What does that mean, exactly, cuz. Why is it being a Maximum important.

[theheadmonarch]

Why wouldn't it be important!? Think, Onni, think! Get your red thread conspiracy board mindset!

[becomeanwarrior]

Uggggh! You are so annoying, cuz! Fine!

[ Grits his teeth and closes his eyes. ...There is literally red thread spooling out behind him, hooking into an unseen corkboard that spreads out massively right behind him, various notes stapled onto it you can read, as his temple throbs with annoyance.

'Count as one Monster World'
'Incredibly Powerful'
'Need our world = still dying?'
'Doesn't that make our world a Maximum????'
'No Defense Value = fragile when not on the offensive???'
'Alternate selves, but don't all conform to the same type?? (Different timelines = different selves, selves merged together in that timeline???)'
'Would cannibalizing each other's world save the other???' ]

[theheadmonarch]

And so are you! You and Artemis are too straight laced! It's easier when you stop thinking sanely!

And keep going!

[becomeanwarrior]

Someone has to be straight-laced to make sense of your nonsense! Just think how much of a pain it would be if no one could translate what's in your damn head!

[ There are various scribbles of annoyance in the margins of the nvisible corkboard, but he continues.

'Shouldn't there be more dopplegangers?'
'Wait, the dopplegangers aren't really connected, are they? That's Echo's thing...'
'Needs to be summoned (???) with multiple worlds to be a maximum world??'
'Maybe I should headbutt her again'
'Are we part of the same Maximum???'
'If we are, does that make us the center, and their world the R/L? Or is their world the center and we're one of the R/L??' ]

[theheadmonarch]

It's not that hard to think like me or translate me! I'm incredibly simple minded! Also, those last two are the wrong direction.

::Waves her paw gloved hands.::

[becomeanwarrior]

It's incredibly hard! You don't actually make any logical sense half the time! Just because you're simple-minded doesn't mean there isn't confusion!

[ Groans. More red-webbing stretching out behind him. It's getting to be rather intense...

'Wrong direction? Opposite?'
'Is she trying to make us a single Maximum, then?'
'Or are we two different Maximums who have to fight??'
'Crisis on Infinite Earths??? Merge all worlds into one and rule over it?' ]

[theheadmonarch]

You're getting meow-ch warmer. An I make a ton of logical sense! You just have to think like me!
