Tom Dungeon
[21:41] Bel: Tom awakes in a dimly lit room, lined with computer consoles, gadgetry and glass cases full of mannequins with bright and colourful costumes. The central console provides the majority of the room's light, though the screen, at present, is nothing but white noise. There are no doors, and in the centre of the room stands a human-shaped shadow, indistinct save for its piercing yellow eyes.
[21:41] Tom: Tom steps into a fighting stance
[21:43] Bel: The shadow stares impassively as it does so. There are many things in the room to arm himself with, but the shadow does not budge.
[21:44] Tom: "Where am I?"
[21:44] Bel: It speaks in myriad voices at once: Such questions are thine to answer.
[21:44] Tom: "Who are you?"
[21:46] Tom: "What are you?"
[21:46] Bel: Such questions are thine to answer, it repeats.
[21:46] Bel: What is thy purpose?
[21:49] Tom: "I punish the guilty. I defend the innocent... and..I.. defend my friends?" That last part comes out slightly more confused
[21:51] Bel: Tom's vision swims and the costume cases standing arbitrarily around the room are no longer cases, but people, though he only gets the faintest glimpse of them before once again they are gone.
[21:51] Bel: Why dost thou persist? For whom?
[21:52] Bel: "His eyes. Cold and dead, like a fish.”
[21:52] Bel: "I warned you time and again that they don’t care!"
[21:54] Tom: Tom looks around breathing.
[21:55] Tom: "But... they do..."
[21:56] Tom: He looks back toward the shadow
[21:57] Tom: "What is this?! This... everything.. it never happened!"
[21:57] Tom: "Why do I remember it?!
[21:57] Tom: I need to understand!"
[21:57] Bel: "When you put you’re faith in others... "

"Justice is balance, the *right* choice may not always be obvious."
"Two parts of a whole."
"... I wanna be on the team."
[21:57] Bel: The shadow floats, silent, for a few moments. Why dost thou fightÉ
[21:59] Tom: "I fight to protect the people...I fight to defend my friends...Seiko.... and Kozue... and...Max..."
[22:01] Tom: "I... have friends."
[22:01] Tom: "I'm on the team."
[22:03] Bel: As tom speaks the names of his friends, their pictures flicker onto the screen behind him. Speak my name.
[22:04] Tom: Tom lowers his head
[22:05] Tom: and then looks at the shadow
[22:05] Tom: "Odysseus."
[22:06] Bel: Visions, voices and memories flood Tom's mind as the room floods with light and washes out, and over it all the voices of the shadow boom:

Justice's sword cuts with reason and shows the way to move forward.
[22:06] Bel: The world spins, and Tom is out cold again...
