Ah, it's been a while since I came here! And I see there are quite a few people here now, too, eh? You've really gotten fancy, Eureka-chan!

Well then, I won't hold back from introducing myself. Call me Anshin'in-san, if you will! I'm certain we'll all be friends here. Even if you don't know me now, you'll certainly know about me soon enough. ♥

By the way, I heard there are also some people from my universe here? Hey, Medaka-chan! Come out and play with me, why don't you? (´･ω･`) Before my playplace is done, I want someone to get rid of this boredom with ~~~~

I'm sure it's there, you just haven't found it. But anyway, you're correct! This place is a gathering of kakera, and that's what makes this place so unique! It takes people from different infinite universes, and drops them down here! It's a nexus, if you will.

You're a really open-minded person. I don't hate that. In fact, it's a really good skill to have in this place, especially when the very existence of someone relies on whether the residents are willing to be open-minded or not.

Is that so? Tendou-kun is silly, then - but something like geographically impossible occurrences aren't really the best way to convince someone! After all, there could be something that happened to the place; it's not as if it's impossible for the thought that the Earth's balance had shifted, and so there was snow, or maybe that there was some sort of world wide freezing for a period of time. Maybe global warming stopped? Or maybe, Eureka exists, but she's a human who is very rich and has a machine that produces snow!

That's the kind of thinking that obtuse people will think of, they'll run around thinking like that! They'll make up all the excuses in the world, those humans. That's why there should be a bigger impossibility, Philip-kun! One that will definitely make him understand that witches are real!

I suppose, but a snow machine couldn't cover the whole island in one night, and any sort of global climate change would would have much larger, longer lasting effects.

But Tendou is very smart and I suppose he would be able to find a way of talking around all of it... I'm not used to people not accepting things I say as fact. Back home no one questioned my research...

What kind of bigger impossibility could be created?

Ah, but if it was a very, very big snow machine, it'd be easy!

That's unfortunate, but it's not whether he's smart or if he believes in you or not. He just has a lot of anti-magic toxins, which is why it's hard to convince him.

A black hole being created, gravity being reversed, the world being flipped upside down, everyone's sex suddenly changed, the creation of a new world, the creation of a new universe, bringing the dead back to life, summoning dead spirits -- or something like a closed room murder, everyone dying repeatedly and coming back to life, summoning monsters from Hell ..

All of these impossibilities are possible to create, and they're certainly impossibilities, don't you think? If no human can do something like this, then it can only be a witch!

[Philip frowns a bit.]

Dying is particularly unpleasant though. Especially multiple times... And can be done without a witch, if the conditions are right. Though in truth that all sounds horribly unpleasant. Though the sex-changing not quite as much, if it's done magically. It would be awkward, but otherwise not very unpleasant.

[It's not as though Philip didn't wear a dress that one time anyway.]

Monsters will not convince him though. I am not sure exactly what the ones he dealt with were like, but he and I have dealt with monstrosities on a regular basis. It is part of who we are, part of our role as Kamen Riders.

Well, it's not as if I know about it. I can't die, after all.

Hm, so you want everyone's sex to be changed, then? Of course, it'll be done magically. Is that something you think Tendou-kun will believe in?

... [ ...stops. ]

Ah... Kamen Rider...

Eureka-chan.. You really are a great witch, to bring in a childhood memory like that ..

I suppose next, I'll see characters from WSJ. Ah, well.

I've died three times. It is incredibly unpleasant and I would rather.. not do it again. Not any time soon anyway.

I'm not sure if I want that to happen, but it it were temporary and it caused Tendou to believe, then perhaps.

[Philip just.. tilts his head bit.]

Ah... So you know what we are? ... T-Technically I am only half of a Kamen Rider. I can't henshin without Shoutaro... But the other two here can.

Right, right, I remember that! Yes, it was pretty heartwrenching. Ah, I cried a lot!

It'd be funny though, don't you think?

Mm, well, it took a little bit for my memory, but of course! I remember. W was pretty good, I think, but I liked Kiva better. Anyway, yeah, I understand!

I suppose it might be funny. And I've already had practice walking in heels.

...I didn't think... many people knew I had died. I thought Shotarou had said he'd kept that a secret.

[Philip's just going to look at you kind of weird now because he doesn't exactly understand what you are saying.]

We've.. never met Kiva?

Heels don't need to be worn, but if you want to be fashionable, okay!

Ah, ignore me. It's because I'm someone who can be anywhere at any time, so the fact that you didn't know I knew is just proof of that, you know?

[ That's the best way of putting it, anyway.. ]

It was a long time ago, a long time ago! Don't worry about it.

If I'm going to dress as a woman again, I figure it would be best to do it right in order to thoroughly prove the point. They are also very painful if you kick someone with them so there is an odd degree of practicality to them.

[Philip still just... looks at her oddly. But then again he had a library of infinite knowledge in his head so he's really in no position to judge.]

...All right then.

It'd be a nice opportunity! I'm not really one to care, but even someone like me is curious about what Philip-kun would look like as Philippa-chan. Of course, it's only because it's a spin-off that something like this is possible.

[ smile. ]

You're rather accepting! That's certainly something Eureka-chan would appreciate.

I had the one time, but that was more to look like my sister than me as a girl... So I suppose it doesn't really answer the question.

As I said, it would be a terrible disadvantage to not be accepting under these conditions. I've already met people who come form places I've never heard of and who can do things that would be impossible in Fuuto.

Keeping an open mind seems to be the best way to get closer to going home.

Yeah, I remember it! It was quite fun, but I want to see you as a real girl.

[ nod, nod. ]

Mmm, you're definitely the kind of person who'd be able to adapt in a different scenario. Still, no matter how open you are, even I, Anshin'in-san don't know when you're going to go home.

Eh-heh... I guess... it might be fun?

[Philip just smiles and shrugs.]

I suppose the when doesn't matter. If Shoutarou doesn't know I'm gone, and thinks that I'm okay, then it's fine. I just don't want to make him worry again.

So the research doesn't need to be rushed. I just need to know the goal is attainable.

Sure, if it's not that time of the month! Thankfully, as a nonhuman, I don't have to endure that, but I've heard terrible things about it.

Well, if it's any consolation, when you go home you'll never even remember this happened! All of this is happening in a blink of an eye, and no time will have passed at all, either.

I'm sure Eureka-chan will send you home when she's bored of you. That's how it normally is, anyway!

[Philip shudders.]

I've heard Akiko's complaints... It sounds awful.

That's a shame... Not remembering any of this. I've learned so many interesting things. I wanted to share them with Shoutarou.

[ a laugh! ]

You should pray that Shoutarou-kun will come to this place, then. Who knows, maybe Eureka-chan will grant your wish? And you can talk to him about this world!

That would be nice... It would solve a lot of my worries if he were here. We would be able to henshin, so I wouldn't be so defenseless, and he could keep me from getting to distracted by research.

Haa, that would definitely settle your worries! Is he the only one you can henshin with, though? That sounds like it's really crippling! Of course, if you really want, it's probably something I can fix - or if you want, I can just give you an ability that will keep you safe, but is there anything here that makes you need to be able to fight anyway?

Shoutarou is the only one I will henshin with. We're partners. And he has the main W driver and the Lost driver. Plus I only have three Gaiamemories and they're all for the same side. So even if I had the W driver, I couldn't give it to anyone to henshin with.

I wouldn't want to just be Kamen Rider Fang though. I don't really know how to fight well on my own. I work best with Shoutarou.

There have been a few times I've wished I could henshin... but I won't without Shoutarou.

...

Wow! That's some dedication. I'd have to say it's even true love! You're something else, Philip-kun - you're blowing my mind away!

It's.. I don't know if I'd call it that.

Shoutarou and I have just seen a lot together. He's made a lot of sacrifices for me, and he's the only person I really feel like I fit with. He kept his promise to me while I was dead, so I want to respect everyhitng we've done together.

Well, love doesn't really have to be romantic. It's platonic love! After all, with all of that dedication and sacrifice, you really can't say that it's just "friendship"! Even though WSJ makes a point about friends doing that, I really don't think that such a thing in real life is possible ~ .

Anyway, that's really cool! Philip-kun's pretty amazing ~ . I don't know if I could do anything like that. ~ To me, people are replaceable, after all.

I guess... I've never really looked too far into 'love'. It never seemed the sort of appropriate topic to research. But I guess if love can be that way, maybe what Shoutarou and I have is love. We're not just friends. He's my partner and my family. He has been as far back as I can remember.

[Granted, his memories only go back three years.]

When you become attached to someone, they become irreplaceable.

Well, that' what love is! There's familial love, platonic love, romantic love, sexual love, admiring love, etc. So it'd make sense for something like that, right?

[ smile. ]

Is that so? But I've replaced them many times.
