[Ash flinches when the lights flicker. For a moment, an instinctive panic grips his chest as he recalls the previous times he was in an enclosed room like this and the lights suddenly gave out. When he realizes that he's in no danger, he glances up towards the ceiling, as if searching for the source of the 'voice'.]
That shit's freaky, man. You gotta warn someone before you're gonna do somethin' like that.
[He projects his voice to try and hide the fact he was shaken by such a small thing. Slowly, he begins to walk towards the cabinet at the end of the corridor, his eyes straining to make out the title of the game.
Make her disappear. What did Ash do in the face of a seemingly insurmountable foe who made his life a living hell at every corner? Shot them in the face with a shotgun and carved them apart with a chainsaw, but that doesn't seem particularly applicable in this situation.
The book. When he was sent to the past, the Necronomicon ex-Mortis had answers to undo the spell. He remembered looking at it while the old man flipped through the pages, catching glimpses of demons and other evil entities that could be summoned by simply reciting the words....]
I mean, I've been thinkin', right? The Fog doesn't really have a lot of opposition--I mean, sure, there's people who hate her, me included, but we aren't really in a position to take down a god. There's that Mana chick, but I don't think she cares all that much about takin' down who's in charge. There's you, but you're just one kid.
[A pause.]
A kid who's older than ten.
[Nailed it.]
Hear me out, but what if--what if--there was something else we could pit her against? Y'know, try some real divide and conquer strategies while she's distracted. There's gotta be tons of lesser-known gods or entities or whatever that have beef with the Fog, given what we go through on a monthly basis. We find 'em, we knock her down a few notches, maybe even get what I--what we want.
[Ash comes to a stop before the cabinet. His hands lay against the buttons as he takes in the details on the screen.]
