[...man, fuck Saix honestly. Even if the others may have wondered, having Saix actually use the name is enough that Sol pauses. It's hard to say what they're thinking under that hood, but they're facing him uncertainly.]

I'm pretty sure you're mistaken.

[moonprisonpower]

[ he's the worst, sol is right ]

[ the corners of his lips turn up slightly, it's almost a smile ]

Am I? That was quite a heated defense of Xion.

[cyclists]

Because she didn't even do anything and you're throwing crazy accusations around? Yeah. Anybody would defend her after that. [No. They wouldn't. Shut up, Sol.]

[moonprisonpower]

Only one person would understand what I meant by "defective", so, no, not anyone would come to her defense so fervently.

[ he tilts his head. ]

But I assume you won't admit to anything.

[cyclists]

Because there's nothing to admit. [There's a frustrated noise.] Are you here to keep saying stupid stuff, or are you still looking for information?

[Like. A begrudging attempt at being helpful.]

[moonprisonpower]

[ saix just gives him an extremely annoying knowing look. ]

Are you going to provide information?

[cyclists]

[No.]

I can only provide you with what I know so far. If that's not enough, then I don't know what to do.

[moonprisonpower]

So provide.

[ it's there!! the look!! ]

You haven't said much.

[ because saix was fishing!! ]

[cyclists]

Because you--[UGH. They want to throw this fucking apple.]

Let's try this. What exactly do you want to know, because I'm not telling you stuff I've already said.

[moonprisonpower]

Everything you know, minus what you've already said.

[ please throw the apple at him. ]

[cyclists]

[That. Saix you asshole? Yes, Sol is throwing the apple.]

That's the opposite of what I said! [...but they go to pick up the apple because it's still theirs. You gave it to them, it's theirs now.]

[moonprisonpower]

That's what I want to know.

[ just standing there passively like the saix he is. ]

[ saix here being a synonym for asshole. ]

[cyclists]

This isn't how I do information. You ask me the questions you're looking for specifically, I'll see what I can do. You can't tell me you aren't searching already.

[moonprisonpower]

[ alright.... ]

What can you tell me about the Core, that hasn't been said already? [ like, publicly? ]

[cyclists]

...it's probably a little worse than people think, and that may be why you're all here. It's pretty easily influenced.

[moonprisonpower]

Are we influencing it, currently?

[cyclists]

Yes. And that's why you're here. Your influence is what's going to be what shapes the core, which then shapes the rest of the worlds.

[moonprisonpower]

This is a poor choice of people to influence it, if it's direct influence we're referring to.

[ self... burn.... ? ]

[cyclists]

Most of you wouldn't have been my first choice either. [Just saying.] But it seemed to think you would be able to do something here.

[moonprisonpower]

And you aren't able to directly question it, I assume.

[cyclists]

No we can, but that doesn't mean we'd get direct answers. [Thanks, universe.] It's why sometimes Lune and I give vague answers. Vague questions for vague answers to try and make some sense of stuff.

[moonprisonpower]

That must be frustrating for you.

[cyclists]

...yeah, it is. [They can admit that much, but it's still not super chill.] There isn't much I can do right now though, but I wish it was more helpful if it really wants our help.

[moonprisonpower]

You would think it would be, considering how it summoned us all here, you and Lune included.

[ what a rude fuckin universe ]

Did it ever tell you why you?

[cyclists]

No. I think it was probably because it saw potential, and Lune and I said yes when we were asked. It was what needed to be done and if it wasn't going to be us, it would have been someone else. I couldn't let that happen.
