... You ever feel like there's a bad omen hanging around you? Something you can't really describe? Like a weight on you that won't let you rest? It's bad enough I haven't been able to sleep as much as I'd want, anymore...

I'd like to put out a call for anyone who might be willing to sign on for part of the AI Program that I've been developing.

Essentially, if you are interested, and are willing to sign and agree, your likeness and deck will be recreated through the AI system to be dueled against. You are, of course, welcome to retain the right to demand that the recreation be removed at any time, but if this is something you're interested in, please contact me here, or through my private email at [Insert E-Mail Here]

I look forward to working with anyone who participates.

I'm okay with that.

I think I saw something ya deleted, Mamoru. You're one of the people that it pings me when ya post. We're gonna talk.

[Private]

[thestudyof]

Knew I shouldn't have posted it...

What's to really talk about, with it?

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

I think there's... a reason ya feel even more anxious lately.

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

... Really? Like what?

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

A real reliable source tells me some guy's like... stalking you. He's in your previous field and he's going by an incredibly fake name. Satou Tarou.

It's why I've been hanging around a little more, in case he tried any creepy-fu.

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

... Wait, someone's stalking me?

... That is a very fake name. I've never heard of anyone going by it, especially in any papers posted in that field...

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah. Lemme see if he hasn't blocked me...

Here we go.

A picture of Tarou

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

... Huh.

I don't really recognize him...

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

I figured ya wouldn't. Just... letting you know what he looks like.

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

Well, thanks.

But I haven't noticed anyone stalking me, recently... ... Other than that Labrys woman standing outside of LDS all the time.

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

... yeah I don't know why she's doing that. It's kinda weird.

... I oughta ask her.

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

Misplaced expectations, probably.

... Just don't involve me in the conversation.

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

I'd never. There's someone else that should have those expectations.

... If I can find them.

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

... Still, I haven't noticed anyone.

Though... looking at the image again, I feel like I've seen someone who looks like that in passing, but I'm not sure. Definitely haven't seen his image attached to any papers or reports released, however.

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

Yeah, I figured not. I don't even think he's a, uh. 'Native' if you catch my drift.

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

... You think he might be a spirit in disguise?

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

I'm leaning towards it. He seems real off according to my source.

Either that or he's a homegrown monster like me, don't know why he'd appear right now though...

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

Maybe something forced him to make whatever move he might be making?

Re: [Private]

[ogrewarrior]

I'm thinking so...

Re: [Private]

[thestudyof]

... If I spot him, I'll tell you.

I'll tell Akira to keep an eye out, too, since he's usually around helping me, anyway.
