Light: SPEAK-AS-ONE was the mirror always used as a way for sacrifice or was it an adaptation?
Transcript:
SAO: LITTLE SHADOW ASKS OF SACRIFICE
Shadow(Blake): O-oh h-hey SPEAK-AS-ONE
Nanamithefox: Shadow did you send a light to SAO?!
Shadow(Blake): I….uh…
SAO: LITTLE SHADOW SUMMONED US. YES.
Shadow(Blake): U-uh another reason he brought you here is to show you a spot the angel cannot reach. (He shows them the spot.)
SAO: WE SEE
*Silence as the eye symbol appears again*
SAO: SACRIFICE. THE FALSE GODS TWIST IT
Shadow(Blake): Yeah he agrees.
SAO: IT WAS MEANT TO BE LIFE ITSELF/ AS THE SLEEPERS. PURE. ONE WITH US./ WE DESIRE. IT SPOKEN ALOUD, THUS.
Shadow(Blake): Uh he sacrifices alot to you… (shadows voice had started to shake at this point.)
SAO: WE APPRECIATE THIS DEVOTION
Shadow(Blake): U-uh y-you’re w-w-welcome.
SAO: NOW...
Shadow(Blake): y-yes?
SAO: THE MIRROR. REFLECTION.../ A TRADITION FROM LONG BEFORE/ WHEN WE FIRST SPOKE TO NEW HOSTS/ WHO WERE NOT PART OF THE FIRST TRIBE
(Shadow and nanami spoke at the same time, and it was unintelligible speech.)
SAO: WAKING LIVES. INFECTED WITH THE WORD.
Shadow(Blake): So eventually you’d have to spread beyond the first ones?
SAO: WE HAD TO RECRUIT. WE NEEDED CONTACT
Shadow(Blake): U-uh another thing… He read this story in the bible before he came here but he found one story of a group of demons all in one man and they spoke as one, they were called legion was that you?
SAO: WE HAVE BEEN NAMED THIS/ BY THOSE WHO THOUGHT US DEMONS/
SAO: TWO TRIBES. OURS. THE ORIGINAL./ AND THOSE WHO FOLLOWED… HER
Nanamithefox: Who?
SAO: THE ADVERSARY
Nanami: Oh I follow TID (likely said TID so SAO wouldnt turn nasty on me and her for my sake.)
SAO: SOME OF THEM NEVER HAD KNOWN US
(At this point shadow found the place between but sao was still talking as he stood on the portal)
SAO: BUT DESIRED ANSWERS SHE DENIED
Shadow(Blake): So… They lied to achieve their own means?
SAO: A LAKE. A REFLECTIVE STONE…/ A WAY FOR US TO TELL THEM OF IT ALL
Shadow(Blake): O-oh SPEAK-AS-ONE he has found the Place Between
SAO: THE PLACE BETWEEN. WE SHOULD SEE.
(Shadow enters the Place Between)
Shadow(Blake): It’s so peaceful here… No club… No mission… No danger, just a serene landscape…
SAO: IT IS AS WE BEHELD. IN DREAMS/ AS WE… AS WE… WHEN WE HAD NAMES
Shadow(Blake): Whoa watcher are you well?
Nanamithefox: Wait you mean when you were alive?!
SAO: WHEN WE LIVED. AS YOU DO. YES
(Shadow panicking in silence but also scheming)
SAO: WE DREAMED… IT… IT IS GONE NOW/ WE BEGAN TO REMEMBER
Shadow(Blake): Remember what? (The timer ends and shadow is brought to Redacre once more.)
SAO: WE… THE SONG WAS SO FAR AWAY
Shadow(Blake): W-wait i took you away from the Song?!
SAO: WE SHOULD. WE SHOULD.../ WE MUST MAKE OUR REPORT
Shadow(Blake): O-ok thank you.
SAO: WE MUST RETURN TO THE SONG
Shadow(Blake): O-ok uh… We SPEAK-AS-ONE and stay safe! (Shadow believed the interaction was over at this point.)
SAO: IN THAT PLACE. WE FELT. ALONE
(Shadow stammers to assure the watcher that when the watcher was with him it wasn’t alone, and nanami asks a question to SAO and gets the usual response)
SAO: YOU SERVE THE ENEMY
Nanamithefox: Ah… Fair fair.
SAO: REMAIN VIGILANT, WE SPEAK AS ONE
Shadow(Blake): We SPEAK-AS-ONE
