Please, for a moment, give me your attention, all of you.

My name, again, is Ashitaka. I have a request to make. Most of you don't know me very well, and I understand if you disregard this.

First, I owe you all an explanation. Where I'm from, there are gods and demons alike. Gods to guard forests and the mountains. Demons that form due to anger and hatred.

[Ashitaka undoes his sleeve, pushing it back to reveal his scarred skin.]

I was cursed by a former god turned demon where I am from. When it is done claiming my body, it will kill me. I originally asked about the spirituality of this world because I was unsure of what could help me. Lord Prima has advised that I go on a journey to the Badlands. He has given me a map and a task.

However. Lord Prima also advised that I do not venture alone. So what I ask is this: will anyone be willing to go out into the Badlands with me? It will be dangerous, so I have need of those who can defend themselves. I will be honored if you volunteer yourself, but I need to know if you can fight as well.

I also understand if you do not wish to offer your help to me. If I must go alone, I will.

Thank you.

[Oh wow, sir. That mark does not look healthy in the least.]

Oh gosh...d..does it hurt?

[Priorities, she has them.]

[Ashitaka smiles hesitantly.]

Just sometimes.

[And now she looks even more worried. Points for honesty, at least!]

We really need a doctor here. A not robot kind.

That would be nice. To be honest, even the best doctor wouldn't be able to help me.

I'll go. [Spirituality and danger? Just ringing his bells, you realize.]

[Ashitaka doesn't hide his surprise at the acceptance.

But he nods gratefully.]

Thank you.

You're one of the giant metal warriors. Do you... transform like some of them do?

But then how will you get better? I mean...I heard the Badlands is...well, bad!

[Stating the obvious!]

Lord Prima stated if I head towards a dark energy out in the Badlands, it could contain the curse. I won't be cured, but I won't be killed either.

[A shrug.] You need help. You're fighting this thing. [What else does he need to know? Fighting a cursed scar is just a metaphor for what Drift is trying to do: fight the weight of four million years of brutality and war.]

Yes. My alt's a ground vehicle.

And you'll come back, right?

I am trying, true. But I'm also still grateful.

If you don't mind my asking, may I ride with you? I've noticed your people are faster than Yakul, and I don't wish to endanger him anymore than I already have.

I'll do everything I can to return.

[Her lip twitches slightly, a small smile forming on her face.]

Good. Can you promise me that?

[He smiles back.]

All right. I promise to do everything in my power to return here from my journey.

Are you going to write that down?

[Your only answer is the click of a pen.]

You bet I am. And if you don't, I'll smack you.

[Because that's how friendship is made.]

Ashitaka, you said?

Heh, well, I'll try to avoid that.

That's right. What's your name?

Be warned, I've been known to throw a killer right hook.

[There's a giggle.]

I'm Kay!

Hopefully I won't have to worry about that.

Thank you for your kindness, Kay.

Demons formed of anger and hate...?

[HMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMMmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm]

I have some resistance to the darkness, and I'm quite a powerful fighter. Shall I accompany you?

You have a resistance? That's impressive.

If you're willing, Luxord, I'd be glad to have your company.

You're leaving?

Just for awhile, Kagerou.

So I'm not... reformatted.

I understand.

... I would go too, if I could.

I appreciate that, Kagerou.

I hope you're off the generator by the time I get back.

If the others are to be believed... I will be.

When are you leaving?
