[IC] - All the World's a Game

Gerard looked up.

"... Oh, it's nothing... My son... He was still alive... But he was taken away. But at least I know. At least I know he's alive... I guys I should be happy about that."


Meanwhile, by where Isaac and zero were, a woman was there, face down and tattered.

Ancient City

Isaac looked surprised that Dr. Light knew about his past, and even more, that he didn't seem bothered by being around Isaac.

"You can blame the game developers for that... I don't really know if I am from a game or not. Based on the Devourer's plan, we were from other dimensions, universes.", Isaac said, beginning to ramble, but soon got back to the topic at hand.

"I simply did what I needed to survive. I'm not in the greatest mental condition because of it, but I like to think that I'm not too messed up.", Isaac said to Dr. Light.

"No matter the case. Surviving through all you have been through shows strength, courage, and willpower. It doesn't matter what kind of condition you are in as long as you are happy with your life. As long as you are able to live your life happily then you shouldn't worry correct?" He said as he stopped in his tracks for a few fairies to fly by. After they did Dr. Light started walking again.

"You know Isaac... how about after all this you come to my lab sometime? Perhaps I can even have a nice meal prepared for the occasion."

Dr. Light then stopped in his tracks as he saw the woman in tattered clothing lying face down on the ground.

"Oh dear... what have we here..."

Ancient City

"You know, that doesn't sound like a bad idea. I would like that.", Isaac said to Dr. Light.

Just then, Isaac saw a woman face-down and covered in tattered clothing. Reacting quickly, Isaac stopped talking to Dr. Light and ran over to the injured woman.

"Are you alright!?", Isaac asked the woman as he rushed over and retracted his helmet, hoping to get an answer.







Six was a little confused by what Gerard said, so he decided to ask another question.

"What happened?", Six asked Gerard.

The woman looked up.

"... Oh, hell, not you again..."

It was lust.

"Don't wanna fight... Just wanna... Lay here... For a bit...

Ancient City

"What the f*ck? Y-you're dead. I.. killed you.", Isaac stammered as he pointed at her.

Isaac was surprised that she was still alive, even after what he did to her on The Consumer. Was it a habit for higher beings to die, then come back to life? After getting over the initial shock, Isaac eventually asked her a question.

"What are you doing here?", Isaac asked Lust.

"One, I was summoned... To capture a man... A truly romantic man... It sickened me. But s quite an ally... And secondly... Thing is, I'm not a being. I'm technically an object..."

Ancient City

Despite still feeling a little on edge, Isaac decided to ask another question, this time having less tension in his voice.

"What's his name? What happened to you?", Isaac asked Lust.

"His name? I dunno, I think it was John, or Jack, or something with a J. All I know is that he seems to go be HM-kun, something like that..."

She sat up.

"Gah, dammit... this is like the third time. I'm definitely getting replaced after this... Can't believe it, and it's all your fault too. I was fine with one breaking, but you had to go and break me the second time. That damn fairy cost me my third... Can't freaking believe it..."


"Huh?" Gerard asked. "Oh, it's nothing... just that I ost my son a second time... but at least he isn't dead... can you believe it? My son, survivor of a battle with the master chief... I'm proud of him... just like his old man."

Ancient City

Isaac thought for a moment and finally spoke.

You mean HM? I think he's friends with John or something... Why were you trying to find him?", Isaac asked Lust with slight suspicion in his voice.





Six gave a slight smile underneath his helmet at Gerard's comment and spoke.

"Yea? I take it that you look up to the Chief, huh?", Six asked.
