Hello, everyone.

The Ingress has brought us to the Moira from any number of places. When I meet someone, I can't say whether our similarities will outweigh our differences, or vice-versa... when you're this far from home, even small commonalities can seem important. It's led me to be curious about the broad strokes of everyone's backgrounds.

[A pause, as he approaches his real question.]

What can you tell me about the government in the place you came from before this? Both the form of government and, if possible, specific names of leaders.

If it wasn't your original home, I'd be interested in hearing about that, too, even down to what year it was for you.

If you'd prefer to answer privately, that's all right with me. I can promise you my discretion.

Thank you.

[He imagines that it might have been bad for humankind, at one point, if mages had made a point of sealing the monsters in... if there had been a war to begin with. If human souls had to be collected and sacrificed to break through.]

What would have happened if he had been able to break through the barrier?

[Context is important! Context that L isn't going to get from Mettaton, unfortunately...but humans weren't the only ones who had it bad.]

His initial promise was to wage war on the humans!! But I rather think that any of the fight went out of our dear king the closer he got to his ultimate goal! He's a pretty gentle person, and I don't believe he would have done any war-waging so much as simply been happy to free his subjects!! I guess that's why he was the king!!
