[ It'd kinda taken a backseat with everything else going on, but there's still something that's been bothering her a bit. She could just dismiss it as a kid making things up but... after everything she's experienced here, and back home, she's got a gut feeling there's more to it.

She can't search the internet like she used to but... well that doesn't mean crowdsourcing is off the table. ]

Hey, did anybody else run into a weird girl on their first day here? A little kid, blonde hair.

Also does anybody know what the name of this "linkshell" means? Kali Shashidhwaja. She mentioned that, along with telling me that "she" would try to hurt me if I ever lost it and was alone.

[ As a final note, she added the two pictures the girl had doodled, described as follows: " There was a crude drawing of a feminine figure with purple eyes standing over what appeared to be the corpses of a human and a moogle, looking a bit eerily similar to Futaba and her moogle even though the drawing was crude. " Along with "This time the figures looking like Futaba and her moogle were standing alive, and were surrounded by other figures. They faced toward the purple-eyed figure, who seemed to be fleeing."

And now, to see what information others might have... ]

It was pretty vague. It sounded like she could've meant the linkshell, or the iMog slate, though.

[ In the context of their conversation, at least. ]

Do we know what the differences between the two stories are? Besides the whole dying thing.

[spaceforged]

Not yet. I'll go back for the book and read through it. She did tell me the version where the heroes die is studied by scholars.

That could be something to check out.

Yeah, sounds like they'd have a pretty good account how that one goes, then.

I'm... probably going to try to head over to the Curti Center soon to look into a few other things too. Like others who've come through this Dream Width thing and the development of the Mognet. According to a friend, the linkshell name is based off Indian mythology.

[ Which, logistically speaking, should not be here on Vaikutha. ]

[spaceforged]

It would be a good idea to confirm that. This is not our reality. It could be the linkshell name means something else here.

Whatever it means, we have a few leads to pursue.

[promiselisting]

Yep.

Connie and I are gonna head over to the Curti Center sometime soon to follow up on a couple. We'll let everyone know what we find.

[spaceforged]

If I find anything I'll inform everyone about it.
