Guess nobody told you what that's all about. [weird. someone should have; even yuri knows.]
Most of the stuff we deal with is because of CERES. They don't make much of a secret of it. Those other things weren't them though. They're... I dunno what you want to call 'em. Spirits, or deities... something like that. Nobody's really sure what their deal is either, but they don't seem to like CERES or this city all that much and getting us involved seems like we're just the collateral damage for whatever they're trying to do. Put a wrench in their plans. Something like that.
CERES wasn't mentioned, but the Spirits were. Still, it's not as if anyone has given me the real history behind Cerealia from beginning to present. Books on the subject are so vague and heavily biased in Vincere's favor that there's only so much truth I can get from it.
[Then again, it's why he wants to look into those ruins in the jungle Sorey mentioned.]
The Spirits seem to parallel something from my world. The Five Lords, the seraphim powerful enough to be the source of our Seraphic Artes through their blessings. Fire, water, earth, wind, and void, the one without an element. My bet is that either Vincere or the new CEO are the cause for their dislike.
Wouldn't surprise me. Vincere was a real piece of work, but we never actually heard from our spirit friends until the old bag started running the show.
[take that as you will, mikleo. yuri's got his own ideas, but he doesn't have enough evidence to call it anything resembling definitive for the time being.]
Of course not. Honestly...it'd be nice if humans in a position of power could be forthright and truthful, but no. Those types are just too rare in that line of work.
[He shakes his head. This conversation has certainly derailed itself.]
At any rate, I appreciate you calling me. And, uh...seriously, I'm sorry about slamming that book in your face. I've been meaning to apologize for that once you got better.

[that's how he's taking it to be, anyway.]

[he kind of forgot that part even happened until now. there were too many more horrifying things said and done to make that even a blip on the radar.]
