Rescuer Network: Truth will out

[sponsorigami]

Um... hello? Is this working? I-I'm Ivan Karelin... from, from Flowers Over Bones, one of the kidnapped, brainwashed musicians.

I... I'm not chipped anymore, but I still don't have all my memories back... I also know about Arpegius and the other ghosts, and I helped to rescue Stella from Virgo's basement... and another one possessed me to break a speaker and yell at Juno... Virgo's basement is probably where they brainwashed us. I don't know about Pride's set up, but... I'll try to answer what I can about both...

[ He takes a breath, trying to get to his main point beyond offering to share what he knows. ]

I-I can shapeshift into people and things I've touched before, including people from both Virgo and Pride, and... I can use a katana and shuriken to defend myself. There must be something that I can do... maybe something only I can do...

[ ie: Use him. He wants to help rescue people. ]

[Give him time to explain.]

It's Severin... or actually it's Oscar. I've been working undercover in Virgo as a dancer.

[sponsorigami]

... You're that guy. Um, I mean, the one I kept seeing. It makes sense now.

[riveres]

Yes. I wish I could've told you earlier.

[sponsorigami]

I understand why...

Were there a lot of you at the game show?

[riveres]

Nearly all the 'heroes' were actually rescuers. There's a lot of us.

[sponsorigami]

[ And a few of the musician heroes are now rescuers. If he wasn't so worried about their situation, Ivan would think that funny. ]

So some of the familiar faces I've seen more than once are other rescuers... that makes sense, but how did so many get picked? I mean, Vista City is huge with a lot of people who'd jump in for auditions.

[riveres]

Our leaders must have some connections. Or we are just better than the natives. Who knows?

[sponsorigami]

I still don't get how I ended up as a Hero for the show. There were so many who auditioned.

[riveres]

Maybe they wanted to have some fun. And you got some practice.

[sponsorigami]

In a way, I suppose.
