*like some sort of wisp or ghost, the Alternate Sadame can be spotted in the city.

While they prefer to stay in the safety of the Arboretum unless needed, the nature of the hiding place means they can't establish any permanent method of getting food or water.

Which means they need to wander out into the city to head for a convenience store or something, hoping partially that they'll unblinkingly accept their money.

Or, worse case, be able to steal things effectively enough.

You should help them to not steal.*

[timesflow]

It's what I've been called and considered to be. So I just kind of accepted it. So I guess the kind your stepsisters are. Not that it's done much for me.

[redderthanred]

All I know is two of them and their wife sit on each other's shoulders and everyone thinks they're one lady.

[timesflow]

I have... never met them before, but I'll keep that in mind if I ever spot them. *that there's someone like that...*

[redderthanred]

It's kinda ridiculous, especially when they do it and I'm not sure they're all wearing pants!

::Harumphs.::

[timesflow]

Well.

I'm one person. Mostly. But that isn't the type of witch I am. I think.

[redderthanred]

... What type are you?

[timesflow]

I'm a witch who foretells the end of the world.

Along with being the Black Rose Witch, on top of that.

[redderthanred]

If you believe all the dumb names attached to me, that already happen--



Ms. Marias is. I think is? The Black Rose Witch?

[timesflow]

Never heard of her. *saying that genuinely. Just. Never heard of her.*

I am the second Black Rose Witch of the modern era, I guess...?

[redderthanred]

... Thinking on it, she's been missing since that uh, doomsday everyone forgot happened.

::Thinking.::

[timesflow]

*oh, right, that thing. I know something happened here that makes time feel patchwork, but...*

I... want to say I've been the Black Rose Witch for... hm, less than a decade, but closer on that end...?

[redderthanred]

She went missing about... 4? 5? Years ago? I was like 6 or 7 at the time...

That. Seems. Odd.

... Are you telling the truth?

::Narrowing her eyes a bit.::

[timesflow]

*pulling out a deck from a holder attached to their hip. pulls out a card.

That's Black Rose Dragon. You can feel that it's Black Rose Dragon.

And then pulls up a sleeve on their arm. That's the Tail mark.*

That proof enough?

[redderthanred]

...

::Pulls up her sleeves, showing the mark of the Back Claw in red on the right and a curling 2 headed serpent on her left arm.::

If these are.

::She then pulls out two cards, a Synchro and a Level 12 monster.::

[timesflow]

*squinting a little. I. Probably recognize the aesthetic of that Level 12, don't I.*

[redderthanred]

::It looks like two monsters merged together, the second of which, yes, does look hauntingly familiar.::

[timesflow]

... You're a Signer. And a Dark Signer? That's-- that's even actually possible?

*oh no, I'm seeing a possible future if my sister comes to hunt me down...*

[redderthanred]

... Apparently?

But.

The Crimson Dragon really wants to kill me, apparently? And.

::Points to her right arm.::

This one is only on here due to...

::Points to a bracelet on her right arm with a glowing gem.::

And the whole thing with the Dark Signer part is. Complicated.

::Grimacing.::

[timesflow]

I can tell the complication, yes.

Well, I feel no compulsion to harm you, so whatever is happening must be kept under control, at the moment...?

[redderthanred]

Bracelet is keeping me from being a brat or a jerk.

And uh, the Earthbound Immortal behind this... is basically just its heart?

::Points to the Dark Signer Mark.::

So, I think so? It's. Under. Control?

[timesflow]

*what has even happened to this world that a girl this young is being a Dark Signer, too...*

... You were connected to that strange tower in October. Correct?

[redderthanred]

Yes.

::Grimacing.::

[timesflow]

Right. I was... There. Technically. Outside of there. Until that strange barrier went down, and then I was able to join, where I saw...

*pauses, and then takes a deep breath* I wasn't sure how exactly your situation resolved itself in the end. But you being a Signer and a Dark Signer makes sense, given what happened there.

You were rather confused as to my presence, however.

[redderthanred]

...

Oh right. ... You kind of resemble Mr. ... Miss? Mx? Sadame.

I have trouble telling what they are.

::Blinking.::

[timesflow]

Well... there is a reason for that. But that detail isn't very relevant.

What's important is that I was there. I also helped with making sure a missile didn't hit the tower.

*oh, right. that whole mess.*
