[Area] Necropolis, Underworld

Chronos slowly glances off to the side. "YES... YES IT H▲S... YΘU MUST BE FRΘM ▲NΘTHER TIMELINE TH▲N THE L▲ST ΘF YΘUR TYPE TΘ ▲RRIVE HERE. ΘNE WITH ▲ MUCH DIFFERENT ΘUTCΘME. CURIΘUS."

Link seth finally begins to speak.
"...Dad, we need to talk. Why the fuck did you use me and her in your shitty fucking revival plan?!"

There is a moment of silence.
Chronos tightens his mouth into a grin, curt laughter escaping from the holes. "HEHEH... SΘ IT W▲S ΘNE ΘF THΘSE ΘUTCΘMES."

"Give us an answer!"

"DEM▲NDING NΘW, ▲RE WE? IF YΘU MUST KNΘW, IT W▲S BEC▲USE I KNEW IT WΘULD WΘRK. EVERYTHING FELL INTΘ PL▲CE JUST ▲S EXPECTED. IT W▲SN'T UNTIL TH▲T MEDDLING CHILD IN THE RΘBE ▲ND HIS IDENTIC▲L FRIENDS FΘUND ME TH▲T MY FUN H▲D TΘ END."

Hearing that answer just seems to be making Link seth even more livid. He slams his hands on the table. "Because you knew it would work?! You fucking USED us! We DIED because of YOUR SHITTY SCHEME! And the worst fucking part is, YOU DON'T EVEN FUCKING CARE ABOUT US, DO YOU?! YOU SELFISH PIECE OF SHIT?!"

"ME? C▲RE ▲BΘUT EITHER ΘF YΘU? I GΘT WH▲T I W▲NTED ΘUT ΘF THE DE▲L ▲FTER YΘU LET ME DΘWN ▲ND SHE LET ▲ CERT▲IN SΘMEΘNE RUIN H▲LF ΘF THE PL▲N ▲ND DESTRΘY THE M▲CE."

Theta speaks up for a moment to clear something small up. "quick correction, in her timeline she used the mace on the egg and... had it with her to the very end."

"NΘBΘDY ▲SKED YΘU, SHΘRTST▲CK. IN MY N▲TIVE TIMELINE, THE P▲WN ΘF ▲ M▲N I'M NΘT ▲T LIBERTY TΘ MENTIΘN BY N▲ME BLEW IT THE FUCK UP, ▲ND IT'S ▲LL TH▲NKS TΘ ΘNE ΘF HER SΘMEWHERE ΘUT THERE. WH▲T H▲PPENED TΘ ▲N ΘFFSHΘΘT IS ΘF NΘ CΘNCERN. THE ▲LPH▲ TIMELINE IS ▲LL TH▲T TRULY M▲TTERS."

"IF MY ΘWN M▲CE BE▲RER W▲S ▲S CΘMPETENT ▲S YΘU? IF SHE WERE, I'D BE STRΘNG ENΘUGH TΘ DΘ WH▲T I W▲NT ▲ND ▲VΘID THIS PRISΘN ENTIRELY. ΘH, IF YΘU CΘULD ΘNLY SEE WH▲T GLΘRIΘUS THINGS I WΘULD BE ▲BLE TΘ DΘ... BUT IT SEEMS TH▲T ΘUTCΘME W▲S NΘT ME▲NT TΘ BE. I DEPLΘRE THE FΘRCES TH▲T CH▲IN ME TΘ THIS INFERIΘR EXIST▲NCE..." Chronos ponders fondly.

Link seth snaps back at him accusingly. "See?! You don't even fucking care about her! You only fucking care about yourself!"

"▲ND WHY SHΘULD I C▲RE ▲BΘUT YΘU ΘR HER? NEITHER ΘF YΘU H▲VE ▲NY WEIGHT UPΘN THE ΘUTCΘMES ΘF THIS TIMELINE."

If Link seth wasn't absolutely angry before, he's definitely there now. Somehow though, he's able to restrain himself from irrational action. Perhaps the conditions of the room hold some influence.
"...I fucking swear... you should be glad we're separated by a wall right now."

Chronos just sits back and smiles smugly. There's only one man who can harm him right now and that man is not any of the insignificant children before him. He's perfectly safe right now.

For a moment, Chronos is caught off guard by the change in mood, but he quickly regains composure. Link Seth looks between them like wtf, and Theta just watches.
"WHY... YES, MY DE▲R. DESPITE MY IMPRISΘNMENT, I H▲VE INDEED C▲RVED SΘMETHING ΘUT FΘR MYSELF HERE. TELL ME, C▲N YΘU FEEL SΘMETHING, PECULI▲RLY RECΘGNIS▲BLE? PERH▲PS M▲YBE, THE P▲SS▲GE ΘF SΘMETHING LΘNG THΘUGHT TΘ BE B▲NISHED FRΘM THIS D▲RK RE▲LM? TH▲T WΘULD BE MY DΘING. WITH ▲N INDEFINITE SENTENCE ▲ND WH▲T LITTLE PΘWER THEY LET ME KEEP FΘR PERSΘN▲L USE, I H▲VE BRΘUGHT THE PΘWER ΘF TIME TΘ THIS PRISΘN. SCHEDULES ▲RE NΘW FΘLLΘWED, CLΘCKS NΘW RUN ▲S THEY SHΘULD. P▲TTERNS ΘF MΘVEMENT NΘW H▲VE PREDICT▲BLE ΘUTCΘMES. ITS CΘMFΘRTING TΘ H▲VE SUCH ▲ PLE▲SURE▲BLE PHENΘMENΘN ▲V▲IL▲BLE ΘNCE ▲G▲IN. IF ▲NYΘNE NEEDS TΘ KNΘW WH▲T TIME IT IS, THEY ▲SK ME, ▲ND C▲LIBR▲TE THEIR TIMEPIECES LIKEWISE. ITS WΘNDERFUL."

"Woopty-fucking-doo." Link Seth grumbles.

"...W▲IT. THE END, ▲ND ITS NΘT C▲USED BY ΘMEG▲? ▲RE YΘU SURE ▲BΘUT THIS?"

"So what if it is?" Link Seth glares at Chronos from the side.

"I can confirm that it is a possibility. Most of your closer sons are busy fighting against it." Theta tells him straight up.
Link Seth makes some frustrated gestures at Theta. "He has a right to know this shit, no matter how much you hate him."

"...fine." link Seth huffs.

There is a short pause, and then Chronos speaks again. "...LISTEN. I USU▲LLY WΘULDNT TELL ▲NYΘNE THIS, BUT YΘU NEED TΘ SEEK THE BL▲CK BUBBLE. I USED TΘ DRE▲M THERE WHEN I W▲S ▲LIVE, DURING INFREQUENT CΘFFEE CR▲SHES. I H▲VE SEEN ΘTHER DE▲D VERSIΘNS ΘF MYSELF THERE. THE ΘNE YΘU TWΘ SUCCESSFULLY RE▲SSEMBLED M▲Y BE THERE. TELL HIM ΘF THIS RE▲LM'S PLIGHT ▲ND HE MIGHT JUST M▲KE YΘUR D▲Y."

Theta listens, and then asks a question. "This isn't my first time dealing with your shit. Last time you promised to do something heroic, you fucked off to Gene instead. Why should we trust any of you?" He narrows his eyes as he stares suspiciously at Chronos.

"BEC▲USE I DΘNT TRUST ▲NY ΘF YΘUR BITCHES TΘ GET THE JΘB DΘNE. ▲ND REG▲RDING L▲ST TIME, LET ME REMIND YΘU TH▲T I ▲M IN F▲CT INCΘMPLETE, ▲ND THEREFΘRE C▲NNΘT ▲CCESS THE V▲ST M▲JΘRITY ΘF MY FULL PΘWER. IT WΘULD BE FΘLLY FΘR ME TΘ F▲CE ▲ HΘRRΘRTERRΘR ▲T MERELY H▲LF PΘWER. IT DISGUSTS ME JUST THINKING ▲BΘUT IT... ▲LSΘ, ▲S MUCH ▲S DESTRUCTIΘN IS MY FΘRTE, EVERYTHING ENDING ▲T ΘNCE JUST ISN'T FUN, ESPECI▲LLY WHEN ITS ▲ CΘMPLETELY DIFFERENT ▲SSHΘLE DΘING IT! D▲MN IT, I'M SUPPPΘSED TΘ BE THE DESTRΘYER IN THIS STΘRY!" Chronos flails his noodle arms in a grand fashion.

Meanwhile, the elves have finally made their way to the front of the town hall. Bwen keeps looking up at the sky, possibly for aliens. Then again, nearly everyone around here is an alien relative to them.

As they exit, they can see Eniar leaning on a wall. As soon as he spots them leaving the room, he speaks.

"So, how has the visit been?"

Medi comes out of the room a few seconds later than the other two did. She seems to be deep in thought.

Link Seth answers Eniar's question.
"It was, alright. The slimeball told us where to find the version of him that stole my body. From the sounds of it, he probably trashed it and died again. He wants us to get him to save everything or some shit, but I don't trust that asshole one bit. Not after what he put me and Medi through. I still kinda want to meet him just so I can kick his ass though."

"He mentioned we would need to seek a black bubble. Under normal circumstances it would be nearly impossible to find a bubble such as that one. Also, as ghosts, we cannot enter the void between safe havens anyways. We would have to blindly guess a proper number code with the elevator to get there, and that could take longer than we possibly have left..." Theta adds in.

Meanwhile, a buster with a wheely cart stops by chronos's cell. He plugs the tessarect device into the wall and chronos is unceremoniously deposited back into his cell.
After a moment, the buster puts the equipment away and wheels off.

A few minutes pass and Chronos manages to sit back up. It appears Omega is busy with his work again.
That lucky bastard. He can literally get anything he wants, as long as he promises not to cause any shit during his stay. He's probably literally only crashing at the prison because he gets a kick out of scaring Chronos with his mere presence.
Today though, Chronos has other things to worry about, if those chumps are telling the truth about what might be going on. He stands up and walks over to the bars to yell across the hall a little better.

"HEY ΘMEG▲! I HE▲RD SΘMEBΘDY ELSE IS TRYING TΘ END SHIT ΘUT THERE. YΘU MIGHT W▲NT TΘ CHECK TH▲T ΘUT. "
He waits for the old man to notice. Some of the others in the cell block can hear his yelling. The rumor begins to spread between the inmates. Most aren't sure if it actually means something, but seeing as the timekeeper himself said it, there seems to be a bit of weight to the words.
