Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Ahh, another day, another session of getting gluttony resonance in the middle of a boss battle to trivialize it and have it done in three turns or less~ |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Dante, do your favorite delivery girl a favor and match those skills for me, will ya? |
Dante |
<You got it.> |
|
As expected, I match four gluttony resonance skills to give Devyat' Rodion talisman. |
|
However, the moment I do so, something's immediately off. |
| Dante |
<Uh... Rodya?> |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
What~? |
| Dante |
<Where's the talisman stack?> |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Goes right there! See, the game coded it with magic code. |
| Dante |
<You were supposed to grab it with Red Sheet Sinclair's passive.> |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Dude, I'm gonna! |
| Dante |
<Oh, really?> |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Yes! |
| Dante |
<Then go get the talisman stack!> |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Okay, I will! Tch. |
|
Devyat' Rodion then goes to check on the bench, looking for Red Sheet Sinclair. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Sinclaaaaaiiiiiir! Where's my favorite green-flavored German boy, huh? |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Sinclair? Sinclaiiir? ... |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Ooh, what's this? Polu just gave me an urgent notification. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Let's see... Blah blah blah, Rupture Keyword, blah blah, adjustments must be made, blah blah- Oh my god. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
...I see the problem. |
| Dante |
<Wait, is there actually a problem? I thought the game was just bugged- OH MY GOD.> |
Jia Qiu |
...Is there any particular reason why your turn is taking this long, Jia Baoyu? |
K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff Hong Lu |
Give us a second! My manager just ran into an issue. |
| Jia Qiu |
We can, uh... move this to another play session, if needed. |
Zilu |
My lord, why the fuck would you do this to me, I'm so close to getting a penta kill WHY WOULD YOU SAY THA- |

Mmm... |
| Vergilius |
I haven't seen E.G.O Death this bad since the Molar Office Ishmael Incident. |
Charon |
Charon's autopsy; immediate death. |
|
Red Sheet Sinclair had died. |
|
His corpse was standing, in a technical sense. But it wasn't moving. He was as still as a statue. |
|
His support passive was changed tremendously. Now, instead of looking for gluttony resonance, it activates after getting four gluttony E.G.O. resources. |
|
And the worse change... the one I was dreading reading even more... there's no more talisman stacks. |
|
Instead, one ally currently with the most HP inflicts +1 more Rupture Potency with Attack and Counter Skills. |
LCB Sinner Outis |
So they finally found him... Red Sheet Sinclair has perished. |
LCB Sinner Sinclair |
It's so sad... I mean, I thought he was fine! |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
Of course you did. He was one of your identities. |
LCB Sinner Gregor |
Personally, I found him to be overtuned on power in the backline, but... I can't help but admit it was nice to see Sinclair be so happy that he was being used for somethin'. |
| Dante |
<Who... Who would do this to us?> |
| Dante |
<Who would murder the anchor of the Rupture society, my favorite status?> |
| Dante |
<I-It actually made me think! I didn't have to press win-rate all the time!> |
LCB Sinner Faust |
You shouldn't have been doing that anyway, Dante. |
| LCB Sinner Faust |
Nonetheless, I have already called all the Rupture IDs over to a neutral location in the border between Mirror Worlds so that we may discuss what to do now. |
| LCB Sinner Faust |
I can imagine the reactions of all those who were not there when it happened have been staggering, to say the least. |

Red Sheet Sinclair is dead? |

I would be collecting dust regardless. |

They killed Talisman Sinclair. |
Seven Assoc. South Section 6 Yi Sang |
Why do you call him that? His name is Red Sheet Sinclair... |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 6 Ryōshū |
Easier to say. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 6 Director Outis |
In any case, we have lost a significant amount of power without him around... But know that I, Outis, will make sure to pick up the slack. We still have Ebony Stem. |

...Oh, did you guys hear about Red Sheet Sinclair dying? |
W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Don Quixote |
Yes, yes, verily, 'twas such a tragedy. We are a Charge related group of identities, Yi Sang. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
But you have Rupture. And I have Rupture. And he has Rupture. |
|
Yi Sang points to W Corp. Meursault. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
And he has Rupture. |
|
Yi Sang then points to W Corp. Hong Lu. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
Even she has Rupture. |
|
Yi Sang then points to W Corp. Outis. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Captain Outis |
...My Rupture is only on Skill 3. |
| W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent Meursault |
You are acting like we will suffer major setbacks due to this. Our primary usages were in Charge teams. This would be like R Corp. Heathcliff complaining about his Rupture application being nerfed. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
My primary use was in Rupture. |
| W Corp. L2 Cleanup Agent Hong Lu |
You must now come home to the Charge society, my son. |

Real shit? |
| The Ring Pointillist Student Yi Sang |
They couldn't kill me, but decided Red Sheet had to go? |
| The Ring Pointillist Student Outis |
Apparently. |
| The Ring Pointillist Student Yi Sang |
Damn, it feels good to be a gangster. |
| The Ring Pointillist Student Outis |
Mhm. Time to smoke the Rupture pack. |

Couldn't have happened to a worse person. Fuck that twink. |

Faust, my wonderful Heishou, why are you packing your bags? |
Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
The talisman stocks dropped, my lord. |
| ??? |
Pardon me? |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
THE TALISMAN STOCKS DROPPED. THEY FOUND HIM. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
They found him and killed him, my lord. They killed Red Sheet Sinclair... AND THEY FOUND OUT I WAS DOING TOO MUCH DAMAGE. |
| ??? |
How much~? |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
With Red Sheet Sinclair's old passive, I was doing about twice or three times as much damage as your Full-Stop ID did regularly, my lord... |
| ??? |
Dear god! I'm glad they caught that crook, then~ |
| ??? |
But you do not have to run, y'know? You're covered by me. |

Whatever damage they try to do to you, you know I can protect you. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
I-I am being summoned by Sinner Faust to a neutral location... they're looking for the person who killed Red Sheet. |

Of course. Don't be too long now, my Heishou! |

Location: Some Restaurant Between The Mirror Worlds |
| Dante |
<Say, Faust, you never really told us where this neutral location would be.> |
| LCB Sinner Faust |
Funny you should say that. I've picked the most neutral Project Moon related location for all of us to meet in. |
| LCB Sinner Faust |
A HamHamPangPang. |
| Dante |
<...I see.> |
|
It took a while of waiting, but the majority of those summoned by Faust did indeed show up. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Thank you for putting this together on such short notice, Fau Fau. If I may, can I lead the discussion? |
| LCB Sinner Faust |
The floor is yours. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Thank you. Ahem. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Ladies, gentlemen, and Lantern Don Quixotes in between, we have all witnessed... a tragedy. |
|
Devyat' Rodion then brings out the corpse of Red Sheet Sinclair, which elicits many gasps from the crowd here in HamHamPangPang. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
On Monday, May 26th, Lobotomy E.G.O:: Red Sheet Sinclair, a core founding member of the Rupture society, was found dead. |
| LCB Sinner Faust |
Technically speaking, he is moreso in a comatose state, but continue. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
His support passive, which the majority of us have used in one way or another, was modified to not give out talismans anymore, meaning that maintaining the Rupture stack in the way we used to has been forever removed. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
I have given myself the task of finding whoever did this to our baby boy and BANISHING them from the Rupture society for this misdeed. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
And one obvious suspect would be... the Si branch. |
| Heishou Pack - Si Branch Rodion |
What?! |
| Heishou Pack - Si Branch Gregor |
We were released a mere week and a half ago. |
| Heishou Pack - Si Branch Rodion |
I am literally you, you piece of garbage! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
And I recognize that! However, we must take into account what we know. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Because of Red Sheet Sinclair's power, all Rupture IDs made after it were modified in some way with him in mind. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
It would be no surprise if a newer ID noticed this and got jealous, seeking that power for themselves. |
| Heishou Pack - Si Branch Gregor |
Then why are we not looking at any of the other Heishous??? Ryoshu, Outis, and Faust are right there. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
Hang on, now... Don't start a fight you don't want to finish. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
Mao Faust almost died today. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
...I had to run from federal agents... To make it here. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
I still... got nerfed... hard... |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
We have benefitted a lot from the talisman, yes, but we do not need the talisman to be efficient. You know this. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis |
We Heishous are perfectly fair and balanced. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis |
That ringleader is doing this to divide our strength and intentionally divert our attention from a real culprit: her friend. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis |
Devyat' Sinclair! I am indicting YOU! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
W-What? Me? |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
H-Huh?! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
...Hold up. Let's not get hasty. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis |
See how she immediately quivers in fear? |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis |
She is hiding something. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
N-N-N-No, I'm not! I just don't like the idea of him being suspected for this! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Look... I know it's an obvious answer, right? |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Because he is another Sinclair, the story is right there. Devyat' Sinclair could've hated being powercrept and wanted to take back control of his destiny, killing his ancestor so that he could be used more on Rupture teams. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
You are really not helping my case, Rodya. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
But the problem with that assessment is that Devyatclair has all the potential to be just as good as Red Sheet! If we look at this Railway 5 run Dante did, you will see that- |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
Sunk cost fallacy. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
Potential, potential, potential. Don't you think Devyat' Sinclair is tired of hearing about his potential? |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
What he wants is usage. He could not have that as long as Red Sheet Sinclair was on the bench. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
I-I-I... I can admit that I felt a lot of jealousy whenever manager Dante used Red Sheet and not me. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
I'm a newer ID... I have amazing blunt general usage... So what if I'm stuck to 15/3? So what if I convert Rupture stacks to defense level down??? That doesn't make me any less useful! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
But even saying that, I would never put it upon myself to hurt another Sinclair, even if it's through a hired gun or something. That would be too cruel... |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
We Sinclairs already get hurt enough by this world. Used as punching bags, test dummies, the sole target of Yi Sang's Fell Bullet. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
Why would I give another Sinclair the pain I've felt?! The pain I've SUFFERED?! |
|
The speech is so moving that it causes Devyat' Rodya to clap. LCB Sinner Sinclair claps as well, albeit in a more awkward fashion. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Well said, my friend... Well said. |
|
I swear, I could see Devyat' Rodya actually start to tear up. |
Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
If we are looking to put the impetus on anyone of the newer generation of Rupture, perhaps we should look at Fanghunt Hong Lu. |
| Fanghunt Office Fixer Hong Lu |
Come now, Seven Faust. That's hardly fair! |
| Fanghunt Office Fixer Hong Lu |
My relevancy may be small compared to even other Hong Lu identities, but I've been gaining more use due to it being my canto! I have nothing to be ashamed of. |
| Fanghunt Office Fixer Hong Lu |
Perhaps we should be looking at you instead? Mao Faust has made you hardly worth sharding. She had to get nerfed to even keep her contained~ |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
Uuuuugh... |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
I-I... I still have Weakness Analyzed. And I can easily find use on the Rupture and Poise combination teams due to my Combat Passive, "Before The Tea Cools..." |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Oh, that reminds me. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Cinq, buddy! You've been awfully quiet. How're you feeling? |
| Cinq Assoc. West Section 3 Meursault |
Je me fiche éperdument de la mort de Red Sheet Sinclair. |
| Cinq Assoc. West Section 3 Meursault |
I did not need him to survive then, I do not need him to survive now. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Harsh... but fair. |
| G Corp. Manager Corporal Gregor |
...Sunshower's been awfully quiet too. |
Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
Oh, COME ON! |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
Mate, I don't even know why the hell I was called here! I'm goddamn Sinking Rupture, and I trigger Tremor Burst! |
| LCB Sinner Hong Lu |
Rupture and Sinking...? Uwah! I do that too~! |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
MY LAST SKILL HAS FRAGILE IN IT! |
| LCB Sinner Hong Lu |
...Okay, I don't do that. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
I don't even know if PM knew what to do with me! I wasn't used on Rupture teams, let alone goddamn Sinking! |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
My one, ONE iota of relevance, was The Heartbreaking. That's it. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
If you're gonna start indicting me for a lack of relevancy, look fuckin' inwards first, G Corp. Gregor. God damn. |
| G Corp. Manager Corporal Gregor |
... |
| G Corp. Manager Corporal Gregor |
I wasn't even trying to accuse you. I just wanted to know if you were doing okay. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sunshower Heathcliff |
I'M NOT! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
He gets made fun of by the other Heathcliffs a lot... It's kinda sad. |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
This has been going nowhere. |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
All we've been doing is talking in circles and blaming each other. And I don't even know what some of these other identities are doing here. |
LCCB Assistant Manager Ishmael |
Sloshing and I do Rupture too, LCB Sinner Outis... |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
There is a DIFFERENCE. Between HAVING RUPTURE IN YOUR KIT. And BEING A RUPTURE ID. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Sloshing Ishmael |
We have Rupture in our keywords. You can't pretend we don't exist. |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
I can, and I damn well will. Get the fuck out, and take Rosespanner Gregor, Sunshower Heathcliff, Remnant Faust, and LCCB Ryoshu WITH you. |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
Tsk. At least that Rabbit Heathcliff knew his place already. Didn't even bother showing up. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Now now, Outis. We're already quite the looked down upon status as is. Let's not worsen the mood even more. |
| LCE E.G.O::Lantern Yi Sang |
This is going to sound like sacrilege, but what if... what if it was one of the base IDs that killed Red Sheet Sinclair? |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
You dare?! |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Lantern Don Quixote |
N-No, no. I think Young Yi Sang of the LCE may have a point. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Lantern Don Quixote |
If there is anyone that hath known Red Sheet Sinclair for longer than the others participating within this discussion, it would be LCB Sinners Gregor, Hong Lu, Outis, and Sinclair. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Lantern Don Quixote |
It is not within my best interest to place blame on anyone here, but when you look at a fact like that... |
| K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff Hong Lu |
Mmm. That information is pretty ironclad. |
| LCB Sinner Gregor |
How the hell did this get turned onto us...? |
| LCB Sinner Gregor |
Guys. Why would we want any of you IDs getting weakened in power? |
| K Corp. Class 3 Excision Staff Hong Lu |
Jealousy? Perhaps the thought that since you guys were the first, you've seen countless modifications to who you are upstage you? |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
But I, Outis, am the original. That gives me seniority over the other Outi- ...Outises. Outisi? |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
Regardless, I would never sacrifice that out of some sort of... insecurity... |
| LCB Sinner Sinclair |
A-And besides! We need you guys for combat! |
| LCB Sinner Sinclair |
There's no way any of us would want to give ourselves a combat disadvantage out of insecure jealousy. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Lantern Don Quixote |
If such a thought were true, we would not be participating in this discussion. |
| LCB Sinner Sinclair |
Still... It'd just be too stupid for any of us to do. |
| LCE E.G.O::Lantern Yi Sang |
I cannot necessarily argue that. |
| LCE E.G.O::Lantern Yi Sang |
In hindsight, it was quite hypocritical of me to even suggest this given that I am seen as a sacrifice unit people should never uptie... |
| LCB Sinner Sinclair |
Yeah, like, the only possible reason why no one's sussed you out yet is because you're Yi Sang. |
|
The restaurant comes to a collective groan. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Ryōshū |
Great. Now we truly have gone in circles. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Every answer we get to seems to be immediately snuffed out... |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
How the hell are we going to find who killed Red Sheet Sinclair now? |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
Well, lass... |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
I doubt we ever will. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
And in this case? I think that's okay. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
Red Sheet Sinclair was a valuable asset to this group, yes, but that's all he ended up being: an asset. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
Who's to say he didn't realize his value was fully linked to never seeing the battlefield and offed himself? 's what I would've done in his position. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
Rupture as a status deserves to be more than just us matching green circles so that Red Sheet Sinclair can stuff talismans in our faces. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
The era of 15/3 has died. Red Sheet Sinclair has died. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
That is all we know, and that may be all we're going to know. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
So why don't we live for him, eh? |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Live... for him? |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
Yeah! The Heishous, Mao Faust especially, have ushered a new era of Rupture. One where we can beat the shite out of enemies ON THE FIELD and look cool while doing it. |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
So let's take advantage of it! See how crazy we can get with the Rupture Poise combination, or Rupture Charge, or Rupture Tremor, or hell, maybe even Rupture Sinking in the future! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
Red Sheet wouldn't have wanted us to be shackled to him forever! We've gotta spread our wings! Branch out! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
And live for that little bastard! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Yeah... Yeah! I like that idea! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
If we can't figure out who killed Red Sheet, we're just gonna have to carry his legacy. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Rupture will be broken with or without Red Sheet Sinclair! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
I-I meant moreso engaging without needing to be broken necessarily, but- |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
We'll find a new way to get to 99 potency in a few turns! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Heathcliff |
She's not even listening to me anymore, is she? |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
And right at the forefront of that hunt for knowledge will be Mao Faust herself! |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
M-Me? Uh... |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Yes, you! I've seen what you've been able to do without Red Sheet even being here. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Trust me, kid. A few more weeks, and the community's gonna grow to HATE you, even with your nerfs~ |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
Uhhh... |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
But we can help you take pride in that. The Rupture society's all about overcoming hate... together. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Now, first plan of business for this new Rupture society; we gotta figure out how to make use of Mao Faust after her nerfs. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
Uh, actually, you won't have to. They're rolling my nerfs back. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Huh? |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Let me check the announcement, I have to- ...What? |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
They're ROLLING HER NERFS BACK?! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
NO! THEY CAN'T DO THIS TO ME! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
I'M NEVER GONNA BE PICKED AGAIN! THE GESELLSCHAFT'S GONNA MAKE FUN OF ME! |
| Fanghunt Office Fixer Hong Lu |
What happened to the Rupture Poise pride? |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
Rodion... Rodion, please. Tell me she's jesting. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
She isn't. They're actually rolling her nerfs back... |
| LCE E.G.O::Lantern Yi Sang |
I don't understand. This is a win for us, is it not? |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
I would say it is. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
...Sorry I'm late. I had to sneak out. |
| W Corp. L3 Cleanup Agent Yi Sang |
The Charge society really wanted me to- |

BANG! |

W CORP. YI SANG! |

<W-What the?> |
| Dante |
<There's an active shooter in the building somewhere! Run!> |
|
BANG! |
| Seven Assoc. South Section 4 Faust |
Oh... What a cruel twist of fate. |
|
Many, many more gunshots ring out. |
|
The shots collateral, hitting a bunch of the older Rupture related IDs square in the forehead or heart. |
|
This makes the restaurant look like a murder scene. So many dead bodies... |
|
Of the ones who have survived, a lot of them try to make their way back to their Mirror Worlds out of fear. |
|
The ones who have stayed huddle up together, myself included. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Outis |
Executive Manager of the LCB, I'm unaware of who could possibly be doing this, but we have to stay on alert if they're still nearby. |
| LCB Sinner Outis |
R-Right... know that I, Outis, was also about to say that. |
| Cinq Assoc. West Section 3 Meursault |
Sacré bleu... Our murder mystery's turned into downright homicide. |
| Lobotomy E.G.O::Lantern Don Quixote |
More like genocide! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Sinclair |
This has to be the murderer coming back to finish the job! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Right. But who would do this?! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Who would bring harm to our sweet and innocent Rupture society??? |
|
... |
| ??? |
Remember the day ruin came to the Rupture family, who have brought this destruction upon themselves through their grave transgressions. |
| ??? |
To violate the laws of Gacha game balance is no tragedy—as such, it warrants no pity, only humiliation and scorn. |
| ??? |

...M... My lord? |
|
From the entrance slowly walks in another version of Hong Lu, one carrying a cigar with one hand and holding presumably his Mirror World's Xue Baochai with the other. |
|
His attire is all black, reminiscent of a funeral march. |
|
I don't think I've ever seen this Hong Lu before in my life. |
| LCB Sinner Hong Lu |
Huh. |
| LCB Sinner Hong Lu |
Y'know, I was thinking about blaming myself for being how Rupture got this way, but I didn't think I'd be right~ |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
...So it was you. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Indeed. I killed Red Sheet Sinclair. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
It had to be done, my friends. It was necessary for game balance. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Red Sheet Sinclair, he... he stifled all creative thought from IDs that came after him. All of them had to follow stupid rules. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Every single Rupture ID after Red Sheet Sinclair was soft nerfed because of Red Sheet Sinclair. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
I will be Season 6's seasonal highlight ID. I can't let a silly little thing like some talismans make me not overpowered~ |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
So I made the hit out. Kim Jihoon killed him on my command. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
I'm a Jia, you know~? We get things we want done really, really easily. |
Xue Baochai |
He has twelve wives, you know. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
How... how could you DO THIS to the Rupture society?! |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
Red Sheet was our savior! |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Red Sheet was a crutch. One that I have saved you all from. |
| Xue Baochai |
Isn't our venerable Jia Baoyu so generous? |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Indeed, Lady Baochai. The most generous of all~... |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Now, from the ashes, a new era of Rupture can begin. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
M-My lord... Was this really necessary? |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
I cannot exist without my busted damage, my lord. |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
Faust, my Heishou, if you cannot exist without Red Sheet, you do not deserve to have it~ |
| Season 6 Capstone ID Hong Lu |
I've seen your growth! You and I can rule Rupture together... we can send it into a new era. |
|
Mao Adept Faust has to hesitate for a moment after hearing that. |
|
She looks back at her master, and then looks back at the Rupture society. |
|
And then... |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
... |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
...Yeah, you right. |
| Devyat' Assoc. North Section 3 Rodion |
YOU'RE JUST GONNA TAKE HIS SIDE?! |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
I mean, he was also the reason my nerfs got reverted, if anything. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
And given that he is a seasonal highlight ID, Rupture can only get better with my lord unstifled due to Red Sheet Sinclair's death. |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
We kinda owe all of our lives to him right now. |
| Dante |
<Real shit?> |
| Heishou Pack - Mao Branch Adept Faust |
Mhm. |
| Dante |

I fucking hate monarchies, man. |
