Understandably so. I admittedly don't know if I could have done the same, but on the other hand, I'd hope Chris would keep me from doing anything terribly stupid if he were in your position.

Was he similar to how you remembered him...?

I'm sure he would.

[And don't worry, he probably won't let you do anything too dumb. Maybe.]

Honestly, the only thing that was really the same was his face... Personality-wise he's nothing like Alexei. He's the sort of person who really wants to help, and he seems to have problems with self-esteem... But he's practical, aside from the fact that he thought an exorcism might actually be worth a shot in the first place. Somehow that did actually work on the leylines, though? I'm still in shock from that.

That's...odd, but then, I wasn't really anything like my past life, either...

[...Ohhh, that's going to be bad when he starts getting memories, isn't it.]

I'm surprised the exorcism seemed to work, however. I would say that things like that don't usually, but I just realized that I'm not entirely sure.

[We generally don't even try things like that, do we?]

Perhaps he'll turn out to be useful.

Ja, precisely. It's still very confusing...

[That's going to suck so much?? Damn. He feels bad for Arthur...]

That's what I'm thinking. As far as I'm aware, no one's tried anything like that before. So perhaps his talents will end up being useful somehow! I doubt he could exorcise something like the elder god, but who knows.

...You said you didn't try, correct?

[He sincerely hopes you didn't?]

He didn't! Once we got a look at it, we decided it'd be best for us to leave it alone.

Good.

[Like, he doesn't know what exactly you were doing with the leylines, but he can't imagine that throwing holy water on Cthulhu or something would have gone over well?]

I'll get ready, then. I imagine weaponry will be required?

Ja, absolutely. Obviously I didn't attempt to fight it on my own, so I'm not entirely sure how easy this will be, but if anyone can take it down, it's you.

[He has complete faith in that, of course!]

...Do you think so...

[What the hell does he do with this.]

Of course I do! But naturally I'll be there to back you up, in case you need any assistance. I wouldn't dream of letting you go alone!

I think you're putting a bit too much faith in me. But I'll know once I see it.

[It gets him to laugh, anyway.]

Go get ready and we'll see how it goes, ja?

Of course.

[He'll go do that, then; it takes him a while to decide between the kevlar and the leather, though eventually he goes for the latter - better to be in something that he can move in that won't snag, even if it doesn't provide as much protection. He doesn't know if Kevlar would stand up against a god or not, anyway, if that's what this thing is.

Either way, he'll come back downstairs, dressed and armed to the teeth as usual; he's about as ready as he'll ever be.]

Let's go find your elder god, shall we?

[Look at his husband, he's so attractive...]

Shouldn't be too difficult, I doubt it has moved much since we left it!

[C'mon, let's go!]

[Yes, well, it's highly unlikely that he'll be able to just...punch this thing into submission, so the attractiveness shouldn't be too alarming on your radar there.

That said, yes, let's go.]

...We could drive into the city proper, but it might be better to leave the car here.

[Especially if this fight could end up fucking up his car? Because no.

...Do you want him to just pick you up, is what he's asking.]

Ja, we wouldn't want it to wreck your car!

[He nods a bit at that, though.]

I'm ready to go whenever you are!

[You are absolutely picking him up, come on!!]

[Why is he not surprised...

Okay, though - up you go, come on. It's not a strain on him at all to carry Jaeger for any length of time, and it isn't like he doesn't cover distance like this regularly; it's just something that he doesn't really do all that often in combination. He can't say he doesn't like it, though, and he can get there more quickly than the cars can given speed laws - to the center of town we go, he supposes.]

[It's a lot of fun, he's absolutely here for letting Wesker carry him like this! It won't last forever of course, but it's fun while it lasts!]

[Yes, well, thankfully in-city limits don't figure for people moving at like 60mph on their own, now, do they... He'll slow up once they get closer to the center of town, though, his grip tightening a bit so he doesn't just, you know, drop his husband.]

Just following the leylines should lead us to it, correct?

[There are some of them through here, so...]

[Thanks for not dropping him, he appreciates it...]

Ja, follow them and you'll find it in no time. Oh, but be careful, the ground isn't nearly as solid as it should be.

[...you don't have to put him down... he can just stay right here...]

Understood.

[...No, he's going to put you down after you tell him that; he's already heavy ~~no matter what the wiki likes to insist here~~, and putting you down will help disperse the collective weight instead of centering it on one spot. Besides, he likes being able to get at his weapons if he needs to.]

Let's go, then.

[aww...]

Of course! It was asleep when we stumbled on it, but there's no telling if it'll still be that way, so we should be cautious.

[He's got his weapon ready as well, so let's go ahead and see what we're looking at here.]

[After a while, the ground will start changing again, and before long... Well.

At...least it still seems to be asleep, albeit still shifting those leylines around.]

...This is what you came across?

[To his credit, Wesker is quiet in saying it; he's still moving, but his movements are slow-paced and deliberate, circling the thing and trying to get a better look at it.]

[Don't worry, he'll keep following and his voice remains low as well.]

Ja. It was doing this too. I'm not sure what it needs the leylines for, but whatever it is can't be good.

[Eugh.]

It looks a bit like Excella did, at the end of things.

[It's just a statement, though, he doesn't seem bothered - it's just got the eye in place of those giant bulbs.]
