Cintamani tried starting pointless conversation. She seemed bored herself and flipped through a magazine she picked up in the lobby. | |

| Victor looked up from his files.
In some ways. In others, it's been endlessly profitable. Do you watch the news? An entire country vanished in less than an hour. Shocking. I'm making arrangements to purchase that land.
It was a perfect location for a special project he'd had in the works. A city devoted entirely to research. |

:=:Cintamani:=: Your daughter will soon be in possession of the missing people. To help her run that massive air carrier. Saying any more would be a spoiler. Would you like to hear a major spoiler? Or rather experience one?
Cintamani set a flash drive down on his desk. Among the things inside was a special project designed just for her. | |

I see. So your from the future as well. An that future is here.
He turn the drive over in his fingers.
Or it was. Once I view this, it will become the present, giving rise to a whole new future. I'll accept this new present, just as you've obviously accepted whatever future comes of it.
Victor plugged the drive into his computer, loading it up. What he saw before his eyes was....incredible. |

:=:Cintamani:=: I'll tell only you something important. I am Cintamani Creed. Newly appointed Goddess of Balance. I am the daughter of Carabosse. I cannot reveal my father's name just yet. Saying so could influence changes in the timeline.
Cintamani's default expression resembled her aunt over her mother. Though appearing bored most of the time was a common Vu trait. | |

So your my grand daughter. You've certainly lived up to the family motto. So then, am I to assume that you wish to have your part of our little family tradition?
He brought up one particular file on the screen.
You shall of course have it. Absolute Unity is our foundation...something even the most bullheaded of us understands deep down.
It was obvious who he was talking about. |

| | | | Cintamani nodded.
:=:Cintamani:=: Something i learned from my grandmother is the fragile nature of humanity is the source of it's strength. And because of that, I elected to not have a celestial form, and instead I will always have the body I was born with. And because of that I still need proper protection like anyone else.
Cintamani's did change something. but it will only take effect when she turns fifty. She will age in reverse until she returns to her five year old form, then age up normally. | |

| Once all the documents were finalized and the appropriate systems hacked, they waited till an employee came in with a folder.
An with that, you are now a citizen like any other. Minus a last name.
Victor pushed the folder across the table. Inside was a wallet, various pieces of ID, a high school diploma, a basic collage degree, a bank card, a birth certificate, car keys & ownership papers, and house keys & a deed. |

Cintamani just loved to troll people who showed up with the wrong information. Giving them the run-around was a great way to pass time. | |

Very well. That takes care of your employment then. As for your protection...it will be handled in shifts for the time being. If unruly guests are going to be a common occurrence in the days ahead, we'll just have to have someone appropriate ready to great them.
There were always a few of the Machina just hanging around. Rolling out the unwelcome mat for rude guests would give them something to do. |

Yes. As a matter of fact there is. Should we fail to prevent the End of Days...I want you to claim all the Machina that exist at that time as your own. That should be adequate payment....
Victor had several contingency plans in place in case things ended badly. He'd planned to make a deal with his wife, but his granddaughters appearance supplied a far better option. |

| | | | | | | | | | | | | Amora broke through the door as she hit it after falling for a long time, yet she managed to land perfectly on her feet. She was wearing a straight jacket wrapped in barbed wire and a ticking time bomb on it. And had shackles on her ankles.
~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ Cheshire! Seal the door and get this bomb off me!
Amora looked at the timer.
~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ We got two days before it explodes!!!
Amora stomped her feet trying to get him to hurry. | |

Cheshire (his favorite so far!) landed right on the desk, just barely missing the angel sitting there.
Ah, sorry.
Raising his hand to the door, he clenched it into a fist. A loud "Click" echoed through the room as a seal barred the door, making it vanish.
There, now then.
He began patting out small fires that were smoldering in his fur.
How does a fork hold a flamethrower? WHY does a fork have a flame thrower.
The brother of the fork Leon stomped flat had attacked him, seeking vengeance for his sibling.
Okay okay! I'm coming!
Stepping off the desk, he paced around Amora, examining the bomb. All the wires were pink.
Hmph, like a spirit of deception could be fooled by......ah....
He froze when he realized just where the wires he needed to cut were.

Amora looked at the timer again.
~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ We don't have much time left! It's at sixty-five million years!!!
Amora began running around the room in a panic.

~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ Well.......this is awkward.
Amora floated around in the silence.
~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ Okay so....Can everyone pretend they didn't see this? Because otherwise i'll have to erase memories. And I am NOT good at wiping selective memories. And has anyone seen my scabbard?
Amora couldn't find it. Not yet realizing it was destroyed because her clothes were her scabbard. Moments later her ridiculous pressure hit like a ton of bricks. Everyone hit the ground, even Luce. Yet still Victor remained firm. Unmoved this entire time. He had the will power of a god to be still sitting without even flinching.

| Victor stared at the sword. It was practically radiating an order to BOW. Unacceptable. He owed nothing to no man or god.
Consider it forgotten. I worship at no alter. Covet no force. Such things...don't interest me in the slightest.
Power forged by the hands and ingenuity of man was all he'd ever needed. |

Cintamani was familiar with the madness involving Amora. For some reason, her realm was static with every time line. it was an odd place. | |

Cheshire remained silent, all his attention on constructing a seal around the swords blade. The sheath she asked about had to have been meant to keep her aura from spilling out. Strong magic swords often had sheaths like that. He gritted his teeth in annoyance as the ridiculous amounts of energy pouring out kept screwing up his work.

~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ You are the coolest man I have ever seen. I declare you the official Elemental of Cool!
Amora shouted and a note appeared in her hand saying "Denied". She Sighed
~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ How about Elemental of Business!
Amora shouted and a envelope appeared in her hand. She opened it and pulled out what she thought was a letter but instead it was a golden ticket.
~+~+~+~Amora~+~+~+~ Oh Nooooo-
Amora abruptly disappeared yet again. | |
