First PSI

Ah.  Um.  H-Hello?  This is a telephone, right? . . . You talk into it and other people talk back?  Excuse me!  Is anyone there?  . . . I'm not sure if it's working . . . Well, if anyone's listening, I need to know.  What happened after the Dark Dragon came?  The world was destroyed, but . . . I didn't think it'd be reborn so quickly.  A-Actually, this doesn't look anything like what I thought the new world would be . . . It's not like Tazmily Village at all.  I thought . . . I thought after I pulled the Seventh Needle, everything would just, well . . . go back to the way it was before.  . . . I guess I was wrong.

Oh, I'm sorry.  You probably don't know who's talking.  My name is Lucas.  You've probably heard of me; I'm the one Porky called out to fight.  I hope you've all realized the truth by now.  I don't blame anyone except Porky for what happened, but . . . Well, that isn't important.  Does anyone know where my dad is?  Flint?  Or Kumatora, Boney and Duster?  I ca -- . . . Huh?  What is . . . AH!

No way!  Wh -- What's a Happy Box doing here?!  After everything we went through . . . Haven't you all learned from your mistakes by now?!  This isn't right.  I've got to take care of this.

[Moments later at 846 Goldberg Street, a television falls out a second story window and smashes to the ground.  This is followed by several wads of dollar bills, a smattering of coins, and a radio.]

You thought to destroy the world and assume that everything would "go back to the way it was before"? You poor, foolish, doomed boy!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Um. I'm pretty sure that was the only way to save the world, actually. Sorry, but you just weren't there . . .

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

Nonsense! You destroyed a world, so now you have to be punished for it!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Ah. But the world would have been destroyed and stayed destroyed. Since I got to it first, it was reborn . . . This doesn't look quite right, though.

Even if that's true, you are still trapped here. Welcome to Mayfield, where your powers, your companions, and eventually your very will are stripped away. Isn't it lovely?

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . Ah. What?

[Lucas surreptitiously tries to cast PK Lifeup. Nothing happens. PK Flash! . . . Zip.]

P-PK LOVE OMEGA! . . . . . . . . . W-What's going on?!

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

Kihihihihihi! Do you realize it now, boy! The magnitude of the stage you are in? Behold, your coming doom, coming doom!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

W-What are you talking about?! W-Where's Dad?! Daaaaaaad! Dad!

[The voice goes distant as if Lucas has run far away.]

Dad! . . . Dad! Kumatora? Duster? Boney . . . ? W-Where is everyone? What's going on . . . ?

[The voice returns.

What happened?! This isn't my world! Where're my friends? What did you do?!

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

KIHIHIHIHI! I didn't do anything! This is your punishment!

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

If it wasn't your fault, then who did this?

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

The people in charge.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . And who're they?

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

The director should never be on stage unless he is also acting.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

. . . I'm guessing that means you don't know.

[sigh]

What am I gonna do? . . .

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

Suffer.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

You aren't a very nice person, are you? I think I'm gonna stop talking to you now.

[katto-katto.livejournal.com]

Oh I'm not.

Won't mean I'm not there.

[a-gentle-boy.livejournal.com]

I-I think I'll just ignore you. I'm very sorry, but I'm going to hang up now.
