GAME ONE - voice;

[ On the NV, the feed starts out quietly. Slowly but surely, quiet chuckling is heard, until it turns into loud cackling, followed by applause ]

How nice, how nice! So, this is where the Golden Witch is to be summoned...? Siren’s Port, is it? A unique name, and one that I am already fond of. And yet, just how much shall this world have to hide from the reisdents that have been taken into this world...? Shall it become more dangerous than I have heard of -- enough to make those taken to this game perish before this game can truly begin? A game cannot start unless all the pieces are on the board, riiiight? And such is the case for those who are newly summoned to this world

…. Ah, but that will not do. Not in the slightest! No, if I seek entertainment, I want to observe the pieces chosen to come here myself, see? … For those who are fortunate to have a chance to hear from the Golden Witch-- Come, tell me!

Just what is this darkness that I have heard so much about? … If it is merely a name for a time when those monsters that I have witnessed lurk within the shadows of the night... How tame, how tame. For a witch that has lived for over 1,000 years, confronting such things are mere child’s play to me!

... Hoh. So, you have heard of me, have you? Though, that may be unsurprising. After all. I am quite the popular woman.

Fuhuhu... Certainly! I have not only heard of you, but spoken with you, as well, although I suppose that's only a memory for your "other self" now.

... My other self, you say? What is this? Come, do not speak in riddles. Explain yourself.

Too bad. I am quite fond of riddles. [ and he locks up the feed. it's relaxing to not have to put on the act once in a while, and this is a satisactory excuse. ]

The Golden Witch Beatrice has been here before. But as this is an alternate dimension, she was clearly not the same iteration of the witch Beatrice that you are. It seems your powers are not strong enough to unify your memories of existence across parallel worlds.

... I am a witch, but I do not have the power of a God. You would be wise to remember that well. However....

... This merely means that the person who rules over this game is no mere witch themselves.

Uhu... Don't make such a bold statement when you have no evidence. The only certain thing is that all migrations in and out of this world are controlled by that machine called the Core. And machines can be used by anyone with the neurons to understand them - human, witch, demon, or perhaps something else entirely.

No evidence? Fool. If there is someone who knows the ways of a gameboard, it is myself. After all, I have once ruled over a world myself. Is that not evidence enough to say such things...? ... This is no mere work of a demon, however. A demon has no power that a witch has, see? No, this is the work of a witch--but one who is at a higher power than myself, as irritating as that is to admit.

You ruled a world? That is something I hadn't heard. [ he actually is a little interested - she's one of the weirder characters this place has to offer, in his not-so-humble opinion. ] Not only that, but you suppose yourself to be higher than a demon. Fuhuhu, what a funny idea, coming from someone who said she was once nothing more than a human worm...

I wonder, I wonder... Had that former self of mine spoken to you of a game that I had control over? ... It is almost comparable to this one, however--it still lacks what elegance that my game has, fufufufu.

... Watch your tongue, you fool. Though to speak in such a manner... Are you not human yourself?

I am the demon who devoured all of Hell's mysteries, Neuro, and you are the one who should watch her tongue around me, witch. [ but he doesn't say it too venomously. ] As for your game, I haven't heard of it. Although this place lacks in elegance enough to make that job easy... I like this atmosphere infused with dark intentions.

Truly interesting, truly interesting! It is a shame that I had not met you sooner, or I would have personally introduced you to the strongest demons in Hell, see? They are my servants. ... A witch like myself makes demons servants of mine on a whim, however-- they are fortunate to have a master like myself. And not only a demon, but one that is fond of mysteries, as well...! .... Ufufufufufu. I am pleased to have found such good company so quickly. I am known to be quite the expert with mysteries, as well, after all. [ A beat at his second words ] My, my. You speak as though you have already solved what puzzles this place has offered to you.

Fuhuhu, not all of them. Only the most complex and delectable ones are worthy of myself, and even this small world is filled with humans still waiting to produce more and more succulent puzzles for me. Or perhaps it is you who will create a mystery for me? The flavor of a witch's puzzle - how interesting. Even though she believes that demons weak enough to be made servants are the strongest of Hell.

Do not be so bold to claim that you can just take something that does no belong to you. ... My riddle belongs to one person, but one person alone. And even if it did not, you would not be able to solve it. However, those words of yours are making me want to see if you can truly solve it as you say.

Don't doubt me. Even a riddle meant for someone else can be solved by my intellect.

Then, shall we play a game?

If it's entertaining, perhaps I'll consider it. What are you thinking?

Magic exists.

Prove me wrong.

You are asking the demon who mastered 777 of Hell's magics to disprove their existence? Uhu... What a stupid request.

You said you could solve what someone else could not, did you not...?

I work in the realm of logic, golden witch. Possibilities and assumptions are useless fluff that can't fill my stomach.

[ but he pauses, contemplating the question. ]

But were I to claim that something that exists does not exist, it is easy enough to begin by saying that there is nothing in this world that even demons and witches can be sure of. Perhaps this magic is an illusion cast on us by something, or we are sharing a dream. Even I cannot disprove such an idea.

Oh? Then, you shall refuse to play....? Too dull, far too dull! Even one who was capable of magic and saw a great amount of magic himself stubbornly played. ... However, that is fine. It may be better for that to be cast aside for now. [ because she wanted to do that before. she wouldn't play around with her opponent like that if he were to come into this world for that reason ]

Then you won't take my answer and would prefer to be cast aside? Oho. Have it your way. Why would a witch ask that kind of question? There's nothing for you to gain in having your talents disproved.

The one who I had originally challenged was a foolish human. ... You see, a witch can become more and more powerful if more people accept our existence. Forcing that boy to submit was a way to not only kill time and relieve boredom for a little while, but to strengthen my magic.

So that's how it is. Well, humans are very entertaining! I understand. I, too, keep one around to submit to me, though she is only useful as a tool. [ and a stress-relief chew toy... ] If only she could strengthen my powers in such a simple manner as yours. Oh well. That's your fortune as a witch.

And yet, she is a tool, is she not? You would still make use of her. ... And for what reason?
