Would you Distort or manifest EGO?

Aye
Life and fiction though matching one must assume the world's culture and norms differ from ours due to diverging histories and environmental factors
 
The only one who avoid it are the nut jobs running the head
And they're loonier than anyone else in the city to put it mildly
 
Here before it turns out that being an Arbiter is basically pain.

Given how Binah once lamented that she adopted her sadism, because it's the only way she knows to survive in this world, I wouldn't be surprised if even the Arbiters, Claws, and Beholders' lives got some built-in traumas too.
 
Yep
Like I said, the ones who avoid it are the ones running the head, not the ones who are servants there of.... which makes you pity the employees of A corp, B Corp, and C Corp for putting up with superiors who make the guys of beholder 2 look like friendly activists
 
Bring about a grand performance for his sister, and turns everyone into either Distortions or Abnormalities or makes them manifest E.G.O.

He would likely want to encourage X to stop trying to be something she's not, which is one thing we've noticed her having a problem with. Though his good intentions are likely more harmful than good for her own wants right now.

Eh, probably establishing an interuniversal Angelica fanclub. Who knows really.

Edit:

Speaking of which, he has a tendency to try to bring in Distortions into his Ensemble. I don't think he personally tried to turn people into distortions himself in LoR, but his followers did.

So ya, watch out for him trying to lure in Kyouko and Homura, or trying to distort the others.

In Argalia's case.

His music isn't as lethal as the Pianists'.

You can be inflicted with resonate and nothing truly bad will happen to you. But I got very little idea of what the hell is he going to do should he manages to get the SoL. Outside of making again, everyone either, Distort, turns into Abnormalities, or manifest E.G.Os.
 
I beilive that's the rings thing
Argalia would likely want a rendition of the white nights and dark days or the pianists situation
Unearthly beauty but not exactly safe for viewer discretion
 
Okay, Leonie? She's not a witch.
It had been only moments after she had arrived that Leonie knew everything was off.
Leonie was the first magical girl that Liar met way back when, and as of that side story showing off her territory after blue boy here left to do his own thing, was still with Liar. So something drastic happened between Blue's side story and that other magical girl's story. She might be a Distortion? Or maybe she got uppity and was experimented on. Or something inbetween.

Either way, we should see if she's interested in a human disguise. Poor kid's definitely had a time of it.
 
.......
So leonie got transfigured.....
Uh oh
We might not just be dealing with the adult
Have any of you watched the return to Oz movie, the one with the Gnome King
 
course, it's that exact moment when you feel a gentle tugging just around the border's edge.

Narrativium is one powerful thing. :V


You miss being able to give orders easily in real time, the sense of flawless coordination that came with your resources as Manager.

You really cling to your own little hell, don't you?

You've never met him, but you would need to be blind not to recognize the man who gave your sister so much grief.

The Blue Reverberation. Color Fixer, madman, and executor of your mother's insanity. Argalia.

I wonder what gave it away? Was it all the blue on him? The giant scythe that also make music? The candle head? :V

Also, I can't help but wonder what derogatory description Angela gave for him, she probably said things like *he has his head in the clouds* or *he thinks he's so important his head caught fire*.

the man's other hand, he holds out a compass. It's a small, octagonal item the color of rusted copper engraved with golden wave-like patterns. The needle spins wildly, clicking as it strikes tiny indentations along the tool's inside. For some reason, you can hear words just behind the mechanical noise.

"I'm sorry, Argalia. I couldn't do it fast enough. Are you alright?"

Ok, that's one strange witch alright.

"Ah! Yes, my name is Leonie. Please make use of me however you would like."

…I'm not sure I want to know how she got to that point, that's quite the mental state if she's as serious about this as I think.

"There's no need to act so subservient. I'm sure our composer here won't be all that demanding of you."

"Sorry."

Even Argalia agrees with me.

What… is going on here?

A friendly conversation? :V

I don't think he personally tried to turn people into distortions himself in LoR, but his followers did.

Point of order:

He distorted the leader of the church of gears and the musicians of Bremen himself, and Pluto was the one who gave the final push to the crying children.

[X] Go to a safe location that isn't our home base but still out of the eyes of the adult.
-[X] Talk
--[X] How are you even alive?
--[X] Why are you in The Adult's territory?
--[X] Are you friend or foe?
--[X] What are you planning to do now you have met me, since you clearly have something planned.
 
Wait he did?

I thought the church of gears went crazy due to Roland, and Bremen was already insane due to the Pianist anyway?

The first time you see him is when he's rescuing a not distorted Eileen, with her next appearance having her distorted, and while the musicians were already cuckoo, the little talk about the rest of the troop we get from the cat tells us they weren't distorted when they leaved to go talk to Argalia about their music, and we get a little flashback to all three of them still human and talking with him at one point.

Edit:

Also, the first time we see Eileen, she is just continuing her father's legacy, with no idea how he died, so Argalia probably revealed about Roland to her to make her distort.

I see.

Though saying that...Is he really distorting them when they are...you know...Beyond crazies?

Like the musicians are making music out of human bodies, and Eileen is turning people into gears.
 
I see.

Eilleen's father was doing that too and that seems to have been relatively normal for the city.

We see three other members of the musicians and they are just as cuckoo yet shows no sign of distortion.

The eight chef can be seen as just as insane as those two example yet they were there for more time than the library and the only one of them that distorted could be seen as the least insane since she's the only one that didn't cook and eat herself.
 
I see. I guess that is true.

Well, anyhow, I wonder why Leonie is now a tiny compass.

Given that last we saw of her she was working with the Mill.

Did she got convinced by Argalia to follow him? Though based on sidestory 12, it seems like she just distorted on her own.

Well, this is the last though we got from her as a magical girl.
This thing, in all its glory and terror, used to be a person. Maybe it had been somebody horrible, somebody who deserved this. Somebody Leonie could have hated instead, who would have deserved it. But it wasn't anymore. It was a thing, a thing that chewed up monsters and spit new ones out. And Leonie hated it, because it was easier to hate the thing than to hate herself for letting it exist.
Then we have what we now know to be her perspective from here. Most likely she's feeling really fucked up from running the mill, and views it as a situation she put herself in. Not uncommon for magical girls to indulge in self blame. The real question is when did Argyle Ninja enter the situation.
Well, anyhow, I wonder why Leonie is now a tiny compass.
Well, she's clearly thinking she's better off handing her decisions to someone else, which makes her a tool in effect. And if she's a Distortion, also kinda in reality. She also had a kind of teleportation magic and now seems to posses an ability to manipulate the world around her to some degree, going by the other side story. So as a representation of location and place, a compass fitting.

Unless you mean why she's a Distortion, in which case I blame X spilling Light like milk on the floor and Leonie's self hatred.


Anyway, rereading all this has encouraged me to vote. It's hard say if it's for her own good at this stage, but Articulate Cyan is trying to get Leonie to take some control of her life back. That's enough for me to genuinely hear him out.

[X] Talk

2.2.5 - Is It Just Something To Do With Italy?
The manager of Limbus Company probably gets asked that every day.

Though, is it really such a bad thing? I'm sure X and Homura will consider Argalia's Italian-ness to be a reprieve from all the conspicuous Hebrew and German, respectively, that they've had to wade through for so long.

Regarding the vote, it's obviously a bad idea to fight a Color, and he'll probably be able to force a conversation anyway if we try to escape, so there's really no choice but to talk. The topics that interest me are 1) his current relationship with Carmen and 2) why X is the composer, since that metaphor fits Ayin far better. (Maybe he doesn't know or care about the difference, in which case X will probably be mad.)
