#durante buttercream sigye the 10th

[7association-was-here]

To Durante:

Does "Limbus Company" bear any significance to you? Or perhaps the title of "Manager" pertaining to your person specifically?

~SnakeHead~

The huh?? The wuh???

Well, I’m not really sure actually. I can kind of feel like that name sounds familiar but it’s really, really far in the back of my head just ticking tocking.. And being called “manager”… Hm.. I dunno that sounds like something Outis would be better at than me. Sorry if this doesn’t really tell you much!

—Dante :)

chat do we think durante buttercream sigye the 10th could fit in a tumble dryer

Please do not put them in a tumble dryer. Sincerely.

—Yi Sang.

Absolutely.

I’ve received many wonderful suggestions for our new friend’s name. It seems the majority agree upon the name “Durante” (with the nickname being Dante), I am sure the PR and legal team shall let that pass.

Yet there were also other very creative ideas being poured into the inbox such as this one. I personally also enjoy it. “Buttercream”.

This one is interesting.

In conclusion I have devised a name made up of all three suggestions.. “Durante Buttercream Sigye the 10th”.

You might ask, “Yi Sang my fellow, why the 10th?” and my answer is that I simply enjoy the number 10. My gratitude towards all who have helped in deciding this name. Our clock friend has quoted “Excuse me what?” whence I informed them of this new given name. I think they like it.

no.

—Yi Sang.

Look at you, pup! Helping out so much on your first investigation. Though I have to wonder how you knew so much about that crazier Yi Sang. You got an intuition streak? That’ll be real useful if you choose to stay with the association once you’re settled.

-Fixer off Duty

Oh, haha. Yeah I don’t know either really. Just kinda.. came to me? Happened to be there? I don’t know. But thanks for the compliment! (I hope that was a compliment).

Director Outis gave me a funny look but at least I’m friends with the cabinet Yi Sang too now. He’s just like our Yi Sang but kinda uh. “Gremlin-core”?? Is that what they call it? Yeah I think that’s what they call it. Like a grumpy cat instead of a sad soaked cat who fell in the pool, actually maybe both. I wonder if he likes mint coffee too.

—Dante :)

Outis again with another report on the Stigma Workshop murder investigation and the mirror phenomenon. Specifically a report on the interview I conducted with that Artisan Yi Sang.

Although I have been paired with my colleague Yi Sang, I’ve concluded that it is indeed best to follow Faust’s advice on keeping him away from that rabid cabinet creature. For now at least. Instead, I have brought along that clock friend of his; Durante. That decision was not only a good way to avoid conflict and train the rookie but it also gave us some very interesting insights.

Because as it turns out among the select individuals who seem to be able to hear Durante’s speech, mirror identities count as well because that artist Yi Sang was capable of understanding it too. I must also clarify that I, Outis, seem to be counted in the understanding few as well. That information may come in handy later on.

Now, for the actual interview we failed in acquiring much information regarding the murder due to the hostage’s unwillingness to cooperate. Though we did learn more about this mirror Yi Sang. There were a few similarities between him and the Yi Sang we knew of, and at the same time many jarring differences too.

Our Yi Sang is much tamer compared to this one that’s obvious enough, and this Yi Sang had a much more violent response towards any line of questioning relating to mirrors. Aside from that we have also gathered that this one comes from a syndicate… Not just any syndicate, but we believe it’s one of the fingers and specifically the Ring. Which means that having him around for any longer might prove to be dangerous. Though I suppose that might only apply if he was someone important in the Ring’s hierarchy, which I had highly (and later on proved right to) doubt because… It’s Yi Sang.

The interview after that point almost seemed to be going in loops until the rookie clock mentioned the mirror again, but this time also bringing K corp into the topic and… a faction, it seems, called “The League of Nine”? I am not sure how they know of all of this information, especially with their supposed amnesia but I’ll have to take note of that later on. This might as well be connected too after all..

Durante stated something along the lines of “You know the murderers, whoever they are, are working with K corp, right? And that means that old friend of yours from the league..” it was very uncalled for but it happened to prove itself as useful, with artisan Yi Sang somehow becoming more willing to answer afterwards.

We then learned that he had no play in the ordeal but he does indeed know of it. Some ranks above him were organising something related to the mirror apparently, and had been making collaborations with an anonymous faction that only those higher ups know the true identity of. He expressed that he didn’t agree with it much but being only a “pointillist student” he calls is, he couldn’t possibly try to intervene.

That aligns pretty well with my previous report’s speculation of the culprits being that unknown group messing with the mirror… But unfortunately that was all the cabinet creature knew.

Hm, if I wasn’t mistaken I believe that SnakeHead individual said they spotted another artisan identity roaming around some time ago. An identity of.. me? That will be quite interesting.. I’ll consider contacting them soon for that information.

As for Yi Sang— Or I should say Yi Sangs, I’ll go back to them soon to try and figure out more regarding the mirror as an object and phenomenon. They seem to know much about it, even having some kind of personal and emotional ties to it, but have been hesitant to explain any further. Especially with Faust constantly warning not to introduce any of them to each other? What’s up with that? I might need to break that rule if the necessity comes..

This has been Outis, end of report.

Actually pup, I was kind of curious about that. I noticed you didn’t have a mouth when I’d tried to talk to you and got ringing and clanging for my effort, but does it really mean ya don’t need to eat or drink?

Now that I think about it, do you even remember how things taste? I mean, ya weren’t just born with a clock head, ya had to have a fleshy head like the rest of us at one point, right?

-Fixer off Duty

I don’t know about that actually.. I was human, or at least I think so. But I don’t remember much about it or what it was like to get hungry and all that. So no, I guess for the food questions? Also it is kinda weird how only a few fixers get what I’m saying, like Yi Sang and Faust (yup, I’ve met Faust now!)

But maybe it can be useful? Like I don’t need food and I can keep secrets and stuff, who knows… Oh! By the way Yi Sang taught me how to use proper punctuation in typing because he said my past posts gave him anxiety as a writer. Oops.

—Dante :)

[7association-was-here]

Hey there timepiece! Though I guess ‘Durante’ is more appropriate to use now, huh?

Glad to see you still kicking. I was half worried that that Faust and Yi Sang’s yappatude would’ve done you in once they got to you.

You settling in well, pup?

-Fixer off Duty

oh haha yeah.. just dante is fine too. and im not sure ive met someone called faust yet, it sounds kinda familiar? but still. anyways yi sang definitely is…. something. but i think hes really nice! just very yi sang, thats all. and everytime he talks its like hes talking in lower caps cursive. hes his own thing and ill respect that.

as for settling in, im still not sure whats going on around here. seems important and the amnesia doesnt help either but for now i really hope i can help somehow considering i have nowhere else to go and youve all been really nice… but im not sure what i could be useful for other than being a clock i think. ive just been following yi sang around cause yeah..

also i dont understand the whole “pup” thing either but everyone seems to roll with it so i guess i will too? thanks for checking in though

—Dante :)

[7association-was-here]

what’s the oddest thing you’ve witnessed?

(Addressed to everyone)

”There is nothing objectively odd to Faust, as Faust knows everything. But subjectively and by means generally agreed upon to be considered “odd”, then it is the artisan Yi Sang consuming documents in the cabinet.” —Faust.

“I’d say “myself” if you know what I mean but let’s not talk about that, so there was this one time where I saw some bloke in the backstreets teaching geckos how to play chess. Yeah, the good ol’ syndicate days..” —Heathcliff.

“Yi Sang.” —Outis.

“W.T.P.A.S.” —Ryoshu.

“The endless abyss that stares back.” —Yi Sang.

“Oh hey I can actually answer in this one! Uhm. Yi Sang.” —Dante :)

[7association-was-here]

Is Dante also going to U corp for a vacation?

Unfortunately, no, the clock is staying behind to help on the cases with Yi Sang and Outis. They’re already more familiar with Yi Sang anyways and we also need to see if they can really be of any use in investigations.

To dante

there is money within the third drawer in the left hallway, get yourself a drink from the cafe to help settle in.

unlike most, this prescript is optional.

oh! i dont know what a prescript is but does this count as stealing? this isnt anyones money is it? i sure hope not, yi sang is usually watching me from…

okay yeah he’s right beside me. i dont think he minds though? hes just staring?? is this his money??? wait actually a drink would sound nice but i don’t really have a mouth..

i think the idea was very thoughtful but uhm. sorry, i cant do much about drinks i just remembered. maybe ill just buy yi sang one of those mint coffees that he likes? sounds like a diabolical combination but well, yi sang.

thanks anyways!

—Dante :)

//I think we should make a kind of celebration post for the end of whatever wild arc we just went through there. Kinda late but ehh… OOC appreciation post time!

//Honestly though shout out to everyone who has been following this “mostly crack taken seriously” blog. From the lore-related askers to the goofy askers and the ones who are just here to watch the ride, I appreciate all of you my fellow lunatics :]

//So for this special occasion have a doodle of Ryosh on the golf cart. Hell yeah.

//It’s funny to think this all started from missing cookies lmao. And now we’ve even got the hunt, K corp, and Dante somehow all in this plot surrounding one of the least relevant associations (Ahem. Shi Association blog when? Anyone?) At the same time though I still wanna keep it satire-ish.

//I’ll say, there were a few asks that I’ve been saving in favour of the plot so as to not ruin the mood kinda? But I think I shouldn’t have done that. Sorry to anyone who’s been waiting for like a day or two in the inbox!! So for now, looks like we’ll be continuing the plot and the same time still be silly. We still got loads of things in store after all like Durante Buttercream Sigye the 10th, Yi Sang, and not to mention Outis being still completely non-existent.

//Let’s see what happens to the critters next.
