Lulu had to wait longer than she wanted to, to speak to her Supervisor-- of course, she knew it was going to take a while. She had busied her time with prioritizing monitoring Ren's movements, but thankfully or otherwise, he seemed to have been spooked after the Demise incident. But she felt like the more she had to wait, the more likely he was of bolting, taking Akira's body with him.
So when she finally got the message that the Head Medium would speak with her, she took the next immediate opportunity to leave her robotic body in safety on the Standard World, to return herself mentally to her own.
When she next opened her eyes after removing herself from the terminal, she had to take a few minutes to even stretch, feeling the wear from being so immobile for such an extended period of time. She would have to make sure she took a chance to do physical therapy at a point, thinking fondly of how much less taxing it was to even control the body she had found for use for this was...
Well, maybe better to not compare such things. There were a lot of aspects she couldn't enjoy in that body, and she always felt so emotionally muted in comparison, too. No, being human and alive is worth the shortcomings.
She asserted these thoughts to her as she made herself mildly presentable and stepped through the halls, passing by others who operated in the same facility. This was one of the buildings where multiple factions would come together neutrally for more wide-range work, and everyone always felt a bit isolated thanks to their differing beliefs. She herself wasn't very keen on speaking more than necessary to anyone who greeted her, or noted her long absence so far, but, well. The Heralds are an Angelic sect-- and her beliefs fall under the idea that one should treat others with a steady kindness. So she always found herself getting dragged into conversations, anyway.
By the time she reached the meeting room, she felt like she had already delayed the Head Medium more than enough and was prepared to be reprimanded given the situation, but was surprised to find that she was the first one there, snacks on the table, untouched and clearly meant for her satiation.
Not that she touched them. She had more self-control than that, and wanted to not do anything until all business was concluded. Which only made the next some minutes more troublesome than they were worth.
By the time the door at the front of the meeting room slid open, and a young woman with medium-length blue hair, purple tips edging at the ends, stepped in, Lulu had been just about to reach out for one of the sweets anyway, but she quickly recovered her focus and stood up at attention.
"Head Medium Mio! It is good to see you in perfect health."
The young woman-- Mio-- gave a wry smile. She was more than used to the formalities given by everyone, she wasn't a "Head Medium" for nothing, but it still wore on her after a long day of communing. So much so that once she motioned for Lulu to sit down, she immediately grabbed one of the pastries that've been set out, munching on it and swallowing, before speaking.
"You already know you don't need to be so formal with me about this, Lulu. Come on, eat something, you've been interfacing for such a long time, now!" She refused to continue speaking until Lulu gingerly grabbed a pastry as well, nibbling on it.
"I've been keeping up with the reports you've been sending, so I'm really, really sorry that I haven't been able to talk to you about what we should be doing next until now." She put her hands together in apology. "But everyone's been wanting to commune with me right now, and just me, they keep not wanting to have the others speak with them!" Mio's frustration slipped out a bit, as she collapsed back into the chair. "But I know that this is super important, too, Lulu. So I'm really sorry that it's taken this long. There's been no updates on Ren's movement, right?"
Lulu shook her head, allowing Mio the moment to vent. "He's been staying put since the Demise incident that I reported. Thankfully, there's been no signs of any ripple effect from the incident itself-- Ruin did not answer his call, perhaps due to the odd situation at hand with the transformation itself."
"Right, you reported that the person had actually heard the communication, before he transformed?"
"Yes. Which is why I found it odd that he had transformed at all, but it appeared to be due to interference inherent to him and his physiology. It's unlikely he'll ever be compatible." Mio let out a little sigh in response.
"Like, I get it, we put a hold on that whole project," Mio started to lament, "but hearing just how many things can 'interfere' with the communication crystals is starting to get really dire. Is there genuinely just no possible way to safely communicate directly, with that world? Without risking us getting eaten, too?"
Lulu kept to herself about Mio's wonderings. From what she could personally tell, the people of Standard didn't exactly seem hostile-- and she noted as much in her reports-- but the constant risk of whatever happened to the other worlds happening to them, kept them on their toes. They still didn't fully understand how and why the damage to the other worlds happened so rapidly...
"Ah, sorry, Lulu. I know this is a lot to be hearing when you're wanting answers, instead. You can only transfer so much information at once for when you're over there, right?"
"Correct, Head Medium. Even if I were to want to open up more formal communications, I'm incapable of fully conveying the information required to do so, even if I put all focus into that, simply." Lulu nibbled a bit more at the pastry. She loved the taste of it-- the vanilla scent mixed with the strawberry-- but she felt she needed to reserve herself in Mio's presence.
"Right, don't worry yourself over that. You've set yourself to a really safe transfer range, and there's no reason to mess with that." Mio finished off her own pastry, letting out a little sigh. "Ren, on the other hand... You really think he might be pushing that limit, doing these things?"
"Correct. I feel that given the Demise incident, and how it was clear he was planting the crystals as a feint so openly, he may already be fracturing himself and his intentions through repeated strain." Lulu looked down a bit, sadly. "I feel that at the rate we're going, it may be impossible for him to fully grasp his sanity, in the end. Even as a criminal now, I wouldn't want to wish that fate upon him."
"Well, that's what we're going to try to avoid! So long as he hasn't pushed past the halfway point, there's always a chance of recovery, right? It'll just take him longer than usual, that's all." Mio tried to sound assuring, but she knew as well how much the situation was weighing on them. A lot of people were concerned, after all-- Ren openly defying orders to put a hold on the project, directly interfacing with a human from Standard, and then running away and going into hiding-- it upset many, especially those connected to the Herald sect. Lulu had taken fully responsibility for his actions as the one who worked closest to him and took on the role of an enforcer, all to try to find him, even if it meant searching from the other end... But the long time spent interfacing would take a toll on her, even within the safe margins.
Lulu herself, however, disregarded most concerns about it. What was important was making sure to corner Ren. To stop him before he ended up drawing the attention of whatever caused the "eating" of the other worlds-- and before he put himself and his hostage into danger, as well.
"You said that you know who his interfacing target is, right? Have you tried to approach him at all?"
Lulu shook her head. "Negative. I was told by the enforcement officers from Standard that... Attempting to approach him might be unwise. It's a sensitive situation as a whole, and I'm not sure what to do when I need to get close to him to pinpoint Ren. Without even a hint as to his location here, any delay in tracking him down would give him more and more of a chance to run."
Mio thought for a moment, from there. "Well, what if you locked him down, then?"
"Locked, Head Medium?" Lulu tilted her head a little.
"Uh, basically, made it so he can't disengage from the interfacing, even just temporarily. Give us enough of an edge to target him here after you pinpoint the location. We'll be setting this to the highest priority given the situation, so we'll be able to move out really quickly, but--"
"-- but if I lock him in, there's a chance he may go for a desperate option and fracture his mind, and the mind of his hostage."
Mio's face fell a little, but she expected that. "Well... I guess that depends on how far gone Ren is, already. It's instinct to not do anything that might put oneself in harm's way like that, but if he's already cracking, we can't predict what he'll do." But she whopped a fist into her hand. "That's why we need to act quickly, so he doesn't have a chance to get that desperate! Locking him down might at least delay him from doing something that risky anyway, since he'll still need to go through the extra steps to increase the transfer to more dangerous levels. And we know he must still be in the main city if he's been doing these interfacings so regularly."
Of course, the "city" itself was so large and layered, it was no wonder they hadn't been able to find him so far. It was more like a metropolis than simply a city, compared to what Domino City was. Lulu understood the difference in scope, and as a result, she held some doubts as to the speed that they could move at.
"For now though, I want to see if you can figure out a way to approach the, uh, 'hostage', as you keep putting it. I feel like if Ren doesn't think you know where he is, he won't feel like he's at risk of being found out as long as he acts casually. Maybe you can even convince him to give up on this if you guys at least get close enough, right?" Lulu made a bit of a face at the suggestion. "I mean, I'm not asking you to be friends or anything like that! But... Sometimes communicating can be the best tool we've got, and getting closer will give you a better chance of locking him down."
"That is... understandable, yes. Fine, I'll endeavor to make sure my priorities are set for this matter in particular, if you feel this is the best choice, Head Medium."
"Ah... Hey." Mio raised a hand. "If you think there's a better idea than this, then honestly, I'd say you should go for it. Use your own judgment sometimes, Lulu. Just because I suggest something, it doesn't make it infallible, you know?" She twirled a strand of hair, anxiously. "I know because I'm the 'head medium' and all, you're predispositioned to just... Listen to me, like I'm an authority, but not everything can be done just because I say it. It's because of stuff like that, that I keep ending up the one getting communed with, you know?"
Lulu frowned a bit. She knew Mio was venting a little, again, and knew that the words weren't incorrect... but so far, she had been stumped on what to do when it came to Ren. So why not take this route? Best to just appease her.
"I see, Head Medium. I'll try to determine if a better option is possible, but for the moment, your idea has the most potential merit." Her supervisor of sorts pouted a little at her, with the response.
"Well, as long as you're feeling cooperative, make sure you eat and get cleaned up before you go interfacing again. You don't know how long you're going to be out, this time." She gestured to the snacks left. "Help yourself, really. I gotta run and make it to my next meeting. Apparently the Envoys have been excited about something or another that's been coming up." Mio stood up from the meeting table, dusting herself off. "Until we can meet again, Lulu. I hope the next time we do, this incident'll be good and done with!"
Lulu bowed her head in response. "Of course, Head Medium Mio. I hope myself that we can put this behind us."
Mio waved as she left, before saying one last time, "and remember to eat!" Before vanishing from behind the door.
Lulu was left for the moment, thinking about how to do things. Even the thought of approaching Akira felt a bit... Harrowing. She didn't know how aware Ren was, or what consequences might occur...
... Well, Head Medium Mio told her to eat. So she'll take a minute to eat another pastry or two, as she thought about what to do next, in the quiet meeting room.

I returned home for some time. It was very relaxing.
No incidents have occurred recently, correct...?

Oh! So that's why I haven't seen you for a while. Glad you enjoyed your time back at home!
And as far as I know nothing of note has happened. Been kinda quiet here lately!
no subject
[Private to Sakaki]
I was able to speak with my supervisor, the Head Medium.
Private to Lulu
Oh wow, you did? How did it go?
Re: Private to Lulu
But her view on this is that I should attempt to get close to Akira, the young man that Ren has been interfacing with. She feels that if his sanity is still intact, he'll not act too hastily if he thinks I'm not aware of where he is.
I may be able to effectively lock him in so he cannot safely disengage from the interfacing, until he's located. But that... Comes with it's own risks.
Re: Private to Lulu
What kind of risks does it include if you do that?
Re: Private to Lulu
To put it simply:
He could decide, in his fracturing, to increase the transfer rate in a desperation move, to force me to allow him to disengage before he can be located in our world.
Which would inevitably damage both his mind, and Akira's mind, as well... Possibly beyond any repair.
Re: Private to Lulu
Ouch, yeah, that doesn't sound good.
What do you think your best approach is?
Re: Private to Lulu
She has told me that... I should think of my own course of action, instead of just taking her word for granted, but I'm not sure what to do, exactly.
I do feel that attempting to approach and get closer is one of many correct choices to make. But I'm not certain as to the ramifications of my presence. My current appearance is... Very close to how I look, otherwise, so Ren is guaranteed to be aware that I'm here.
The question is if he still retains enough sanity currently to not just assume that I already know where he is hiding.
Re: Private to Lulu
So, he'll possibly recognise you, but you'd need to not let him in on the fact you know where he is.
That sounds really tough.
Re: Private to Lulu
It is, to not understate the sensitivity of the situation. And I wish I could get more help from where I'm from, but Ren is my responsibility, in the end.
Even though the Head Medium wishes to assist more, it's impossible for her to pull away from her duties, as well.
Re: Private to Lulu
So you're really on your own with this.
Well, you know I'll help you out where I can! Though right now, I'm not sure if there is anything I can do. I don't even know this Akira guy and if you're gonna get closer to him, it needs to be in a natural way so Ren doesn't get suspicious.
Re: Private to Lulu
There is one way, at least, that seems the most natural course of action.
Re: Private to Lulu
Oh? Which way is that?
Re: Private to Lulu
I am... mildly concerned as to how I will handle dueling, however. But I'm sure it can be compensated for....
Re: Private to Lulu
Oh yeah, he does the AI tests. That does sound like that best way to go about this.
Is there an issue with you dueling, though?
Re: Private to Lulu
The "me" you are speaking to right now, is only around... 10% of myself, at any given time.
Re: Private to Lulu
Only 10% of yourself?
So you don't fully function as you would normally?
Re: Private to Lulu
Essentially. 10% is the safest maximum that we have been able to determine, given the... Relative distance from here to where I'm from, for what I'm capable of.
It's part of why Ren is such a concern. We suspect he may have pushed to 25% maximum interface already, and he has the element of another conscious being to consider.
But more to the point: A task that involves multiple steps and considerations, such as dueling, will require me to refocus where my priorities are. But... I can probably manage it, with fine-tuning.
Re: Private to Lulu
Re: Private to Lulu
Oh... I appreciate the offer, yes. Thank you.
It will... Hopefully go okay, in the end. But practice with fine-tuning the amount of focus... May not be a bad idea.
Re: Private to Lulu
Alright! Sounds like a plan.
If you want, you can come over to our house to practise! I'm sure mom would love to catch up with you too!
Re: Private to Lulu
I would love to see her, as well.
I will be by soon.
no subject
Just a friend turned out to be a bit older than everyone, including her, thought she was.
no subject
no subject
Yeah, like. 14 instead of... 11 or 12.
no subject
no subject
Her mom raised her for 11 years on an island and then walked into the reflection of the moon on the ocean and then she came to mainland Japan.
no subject
no subject
To be honest, yes.
A mom walks into the ocean's reflection of the moon.
My genius mom gets kinda airheaded.
My dragon has a gamer womancave in a giant office.
Boys turn into girls a lot.
All pretty normal.
no subject
Boys into girls?
Do you mind telling me more, sometime, as to things that may happen here? I feel like I am...
Woefully uninformed.
no subject
I mean, I don't mind like. Talking. Though meeting up would be trouble, physically.
But like, you can ask me questions right now?
Unless you want me to just like talk about stuff??
no subject
Why is a physical meet-up "trouble"?
As for queries: What is the biggest... "Strange" thing, that you can recall happening, so far?
And what is a thing that is odd to you, but doesn't seem to be considered to be that odd to others?
no subject
My mom has bodyguards follow me and I have to go places in the family limo.
Uh. The whole thing with the Faerie Arcology thing is probably the biggest thing recently, after the world hiccuping and people changing.
And um. I guess my mom turning into a bit of an airhead after she married here. ... Though there's also the feeling my mom and aunts are like, hiding stuff from me?
And Grandpa Birdie, but he's like not odd to me but odd to others.
no subject
Can you describe this "hiccuping", to me?
And "Grandpa Birdie"? Is that a nickname?
no subject
Yeah, basically. My body's to be guarded after the whole mess at the Academy back in April.
Um. My one mom, Vidya, flew away with my Dad and vanished from the world, then the world 'hiccuped' and she was around again. With the surname Everheart. And kind of a bitch? Just one day things were one way. Then the next, it was another.
(I shouldn't curse, but...)
Yeah. He's basically like a Tengu who's been watching me my entire life since I was like... 3? 4?
I think he's a Shinobird Pigeon or looks like one.
no subject
Wait... A Shinobird? Here?
You seem like... You live a very interesting life.
no subject
I mean it's a Duel Spirit, why wouldn't it show up.
Yeah. I do. I wish it was like 15% less interesting??
no subject
Things don't really happen that much, lately.
no subject
no subject
I am tracking smething down, not one of yours, but can't talk about it, hush hush, wink wink.
no subject
Is there anything that I should inform you of, if I see it?
[Private to Lulu]
Not unless you stumble across a Momentum based Warhead or a missile belonging to Leo Corp through some comical series of misadventures, lady.
Re: [Private to Lulu]
That is extremely dire sounding, yes. I will keep an eye out for something of that magnitude.
