Has Sasarai still not returned?


[Raine]
How are you feeling? Has there been any improvement?


[Jade and Dist]
I need to speak with you. The both of you. It's recently come to my attention that this cannot be avoided any longer. You two can either visit me together, or give your stories seperately.

[Considering it's such a nice day outside, Gelda has taken a chair and is sitting in the shade in front of house #27. She found an interesting book in the library to waste some time with. You can tell her attention isn't quite on the pages, though. Feel free to bug her, considering she hasn't been around all too much these past few weeks.]

It had been foretold in the score that he would die. At the time, he was only 12, so a suitable heir had not yet been selected.

I see. But why seven? Surely, one replica would be enough to replace him.

Did I not say that fomicry was only a near-perfect process? Replicas hold differences from their originals. They may not always have the same capacities that their originals did. In the case of the replicas of Fon Master Ion, most of them did not possess the level of ability to read the Score as he did.

Seven tries before they managed to create a replica worthy of the title "Fon Master"...

Yes, and the "unworthy" replicas suffered a tragic fate.

... I assume they weren't given good homes?

[necromance-this.livejournal.com]

Not in the slightest.

... Such a thing is truly sad.

I had fomicry banned precisely to prevent such things.

[She breathes a heavy sigh.]

That is... quite the story.
