[Though it's written, Archer's words look as if they're coming straight off of a type-writer. He isn't technically writing so much as emblazoning words onto the page with his projection. It's a fair attempt on his part to remain anonymous as well as only writing this when he's deep in Muertos' woods.]

Has your baptism into this world of violence gone well?

If you know what's good for you and for everyone else in the world, drop those shards in the sea or bury them in the Earth. Trap them under rock or lock them away where you'll never reach them again.

The risk of having a psychopath with world domination on their mind getting their hands on a wish machine like that isn't worth the risk. Your lives aren't worth it--not one of them. Consider this as a serious request: save the world by sacrificing yourselves.

Not my world, not my problem. I just wanna' go home, and this is the only lead we seem to have on the possibility of that.

It's not a guarantee, but at least it's SOMETHING.

[written]

[jadethenecromancer]

So you would have us blindly destroy our only clue towards finding a way home? That is quite a request to make.

[written]

[madeofswords]

It certainly is.

Though, I don't particularly mind how ridiculous it sounds. At the very least, it's polite to ask.

[written]

[jadethenecromancer]

I'm afraid it's one I must refuse. At the very least, I intend to find out what the shards actually do before making any rash decisions.

[voice]

[yourotherleft]

Save this world? Why should I? I don't owe it anything, especially not my life or the lives of my crew.

[... Is this guy for real? Ragna finds it hard to believe, though on the other hand, he's seen all kinds of weirdos around here already.]

April Fools' ain't here yet, dumbass.

[forthevillage]

Request denied.

[written]

[madeofswords]

Largely, your crew is a small part of the world.

You're unimportant in comparison to everyone else.

[written]

[madeofswords]

Rash? It's anything but.

It would hurt no one if that jewel were destroyed.

The potential of it actually functioning as advertised is cataclysmically dangerous.

[written]

[madeofswords]

You're right, it isn't here, yet.

It also isn't a joking matter, fool.

[written]

[madeofswords]

Heeded.

I'll make the decision for myself in the end, anyway.

[written]

[forthevillage]

Keeping one psychopath from getting their hands on all the shards is exactly why it's good that they're spread throughout the crews. You should not underestimate those that have been brought here.

[written]

[madeofswords]

I'm aware that I'm in a sea of monsters and that my involvement barely tips any scales; however, that won't stop me.

You demons have finite influence. I only need to properly dispose of or destroy one shard to prevent any wishes.

[written]

[forthevillage]

Who is it that you believe you're dealing with?

As far as I'm aware, the majority of us here care very little for this world, wanting only to return to our own. I don't think it would be difficult to get everyone to come together once all are collected and make a wish as one to be taken back.

I will do my best to stop you if you attempt to keep that from happening.

[voice]

[rebellions]

You seriously think anyone's stupid enough to listen to that crap of a request?

[There's a short snort coming from his end.]

Sorry, but I ain't into that "sacrifice yourself for the world" bullshit.

[written]

[madeofswords]

Don't bother trying to justify yourself or make claims about what you'll wish for.

The same goes to you. If you endeavor to pursue the jewel, then we're at odds. Leave it at that.

[written]

[madeofswords]

I don't really care what you do or want, honestly.

You're one voice out of millions. Maybe billions, depending on this world. Overall, your selfishness is understandable--but, one life is worth the same as any other.

I only put up this warning to alleviate disappointment if I accomplish my goal.

[written]

[forthevillage]

Very well.

[written]

[jadethenecromancer]

Wouldn't it? An object that powerful could be intrinsically tied to this world and have a negative impact if destroyed.

We have no way of knowing for certain, do we?

[Written]

[english_dignity]

Afraid I have my own world to look after.

That means getting back to it.

[written]

[madeofswords]

That's a loose association. None the less, there's no indication of it.

All the same, the safest route is to ensure it's never used in the first place. The conditions we're under at the moment are safe enough. Maintaining a status quo would do the world well.

[Written]

[madeofswords]

No one person is ever that important.

It will survive: with or without you.

[written]

[jadethenecromancer]

My scenario may be far-fetched, but the point stands. We don't have enough information to decide the best course of action.

As for this world being "safe enough"... I highly doubt my crew would agree with you there.

[yourotherleft]

Important or not, I'm going to look out for my crew. The people of this world can take care of themselves. I ain't sacrificing our chance to get home for some imaginary situation.

[Written]

[english_dignity]

They are when they're of my sort.

Fifty-three million depend on me directly.
