Most important things where I come from come in threes. Three fates, three realms of the Underworld, the perfect number for quests is three...not totally sure why.

...sounds like a good friend to have around though if you can really trust her.

[heartmunculus]

At least it's consistent.

She is. Jeanne d'Arc is a great friend.

[divus]

...do you mean Joan of Arc? [He's from America and he went to school for. A little while.] Didn't she burn or something?

[heartmunculus]

She's the same person.

[He nods.]

For everything she did in life, she was written into the Throne of Heroes. Um... People like Sherlock, Merlin, Chiron and Achilles are also written in there.

[divus]

...Chiron? [All of those names are familiar, sure, but one sure does stick out. He sounds a little baffled.]

[heartmunculus]

... Did you know him too?

His other title is Great Sage of Centaurs. He was one of the Archers I knew during the Grail War. I would've liked to talk to him more... he was a great teacher.

[divus]

Yeah, I know who he is. [That sounds about right, except for the Grail part.] He was the activities director at our camp.

[heartmunculus]

The camp that you made for us?

... He was really good at corralling people. Somehow, that seems to suit him.

[divus]

Yeah, that camp. He's been around for years, I don't even really know how long. But that's what he's always done in the time I've known him.

[heartmunculus]

I'm pretty sure our Chiron died from poison. I don't think he could be summoned unless he died.

... I'm glad there's a version of him that didn't die.

[divus]

Huh. I don't think our Chiron's ever dealt with poison, but I've been getting the sense that a lot of the worlds are overlapping. He's still alive as far as I know. Or he was when I last saw him which wasn't too long before I got here.

[heartmunculus]

It seems like the majority of us and the gods are from Earth. It makes sense that myths wouldn't be too different.

... I hope he's still alive.

[divus]

Maybe it doesn't even matter now since I'll never go back. But I could probably check if I really wanted to. It's sort of how we got you guys here in the first place.

[heartmunculus]

You guys can look through different worlds, right?

It'd be nice to check in on people.

[divus]

Maybe for some of the others, but I think I'd rather keep the past in the past at this point.

[heartmunculus]

... That's fair.

[divus]

...on the other hand? It at least taught me what kind of world I don't wanna run. True or false: the past is a confusing thing?

[heartmunculus]

It's very confusing when time travel happens.

So... True.

[divus]

Time travel. [Um.] Do you time travel a lot?

[heartmunculus]

I don't do it personally. Chaldea's Master had to go back in time because somebody was trying to change the timeline.

I just know that it's happening.

[divus]

I don't know how your world hasn't driven you crazy yet. Knowing all of that and not being able to do much about it.

[heartmunculus]

There's another me in Chaldea. They're able to help out.

... I have to stay with the Greater Grail.

[divus]

You. What? Why are there multiple yous?

[heartmunculus]

There's the main me. That's the one with the Greater Grail. You contacted that version of me.

Then there's the terminal of myself that I cut off from my main consciousness. That me can help Chaldea with restoring the world to what it should be. [Weirdly that version of him prays to the dragon him and I really don't know what to tell you.]

[divus]

Does that mean there's something lacking from the main you if you cut off a piece of you? I mean I think I get it, that just sounds really convoluted.
