Days came by since the incident. Then months came by. Then years. Time passes, but the memory of the tragedy that took everything from you never really fades away, does it? Sometimes you learn to live with it. Sometimes it festers on you.

Not that it'd matter, anyways. It's not like today you were just some poor sap that got fucked over.
You blackmailed, you killed, you betrayed, you used the people around you to get the higher hand. It didn't hurt, but it didn't give pleasure to you; Most acts felt meaningless against what you carried, but no matter how wicked you were, you always had the feeling you were doing the right thing.

You killed a god that did no ill, but this gave you power.
You stole a crab with that power and drove someone crazy, but that gave you leverage.
You betrayed your own team, but this gave you a powerful ally.
And today, with a path forged with sin and dirty acts, you will get a happy ending for everyone.

Lobster looked at the warped features of the Helper, and finally asked her.
"...So, today we're going to the ringmaster, hm? xwx"
Helper
"Oh please, you state this so casually. You know, do you really want to go meet her?"
Helper
"Why not just, learn to live with who you are now?"
S-52
"I tried. I tried once. xwx"
S-52
"The church was amiable with me and I was a competent worker, I've made many friends there and all of that... But..."
S-52
"I hated the sense of powerlessness. I've never understood the people that just bow down to the misfortunes of the world and just take that as if it was beyond their grasp to change it. xwx"
Helper
"And yet, that is what you're doing right now."
Helper
"You've decided, because you cannot change what has happened, you will call upon a witch to magically fix all things."
Helper
"You do not realize your folly here, but I won't stop you."
Helper
"Many who win the lotto improve their lives. Everything gets better when what they need is handed to them."
Helper
"But some people end up worse than before. Let's hope this won't be the case in a few years, yes?"
S-52
"..."
Helper
"Hop on my back, and let's take a ride."
S-52
Lobster gently climbed the helper and held upon her.
"...It's not like you have a suggestion for better. Go back to the church? Live the rest of my life as a lobster-handed freak? xwx"
Helper
"Does the universe have a place for someone with lobster hands? Maybe. The church has spent so much time trying to make you normal, maybe, you just needed to be abnormal."
Helper
"But if you don't like your lobster hands, there's nothing that can be done, except to get them removed."
S-52
"...If you were in my place, what would you do? xwx"
Helper
"I once had no one to be with. No one wanted me or my advice, and all I could do was cause pain and suffering from my point of view."

"SO I BECAME A CLOWN, HONK HONK."
Helper
"That might not work for you, but, the clown pool is just behind us if you want to take a dip."
S-52
"...Really funny, you'd make a bright stand up comedian. Ha ha ha. xwx"
S-52
"What's up with you, anyways? You didn't seem to react poorly to the fact I murdered one of your friends... xwx"
S-52
"In fact, both you and the Singer did nothing particularly malicious... Just annoying, at the worst. xwx"
Helper
"Because, he'll be back. You didn't murder him, just put him to sleep."
Helper
"Also, 'friends' is not the right word. Maybe."
Helper
"Me and the others, well, who even knows if we're friends. We just all kept hurting each other. Is that what friendship is? A love you hate to have?"
Helper
"You are right, most of us are, well, at least trying to not be annoyances if possible."
Helper
"Some of us, are very very bad at doing this. I hope you never meet them."
S-52
"...Same...."
As the Helper rides through the destination, Lobsters watches the places she goes.
S-52
"You know... For a god, you're not so bad. I... I will think about what you said when I take my decision, if it means anything to you. xwx"
Helper
"You might have said this before....but what god blessed you?"
S-52
"The bull. Creator. xwx"
Helper
"Oh deer."
Helper
"HONK HONK HONK!!!!!!!"
Helper
"Joking aside, this complicates things."
Helper
"Do not.....tell anyone else this....but Ms, You are NOT blessed."
Helper
"He.......Is NOT a GOD."
S-52
"...But... But... How did he... xwx?"
Helper
"A science of a certain complexity, cannot be pulled away from 'magic.'"
Helper
"He is smart."
Helper
"Not god."
Helper
"You understand why this...complicates what we're about to do, yes?"
S-52
"...The ringmaster is only able to remove anomalies. xwx"
Helper
"Maybe she can do something, maybe she cannot. A scientist can easily counter an anomaly. Robots for example, are immune to most of them."
Helper
"But a witch, cannot counter technology."
Helper
"Maybe she can just........slice off your arms......and put in new ones."

"Though.......I fear.....it's possible you're just all technology now."
Helper
"A robot that cannot be separated from the living, even when gutted."
S-52
"...He... He made further changes than just the Lobster hands? xwx"
Helper
"We don't know this.....actually...."
Helper
"Why haven't you just...cut them off? Did they regrow?"
S-52
"I was... scared that they had a fail-safe against that. That's why I tried hunting the gods, first... xwx "
S-52
"I didn't want to risk the chance of cutting them off... And something worse happening. xwx"
S-52
"I guess we will see how bad it is when we get there... "

"But thank you for telling me this and leading me there... I guess if the worst happens, I can only fault myself. xwx"

"I don't know, I think you can put a little bit of blame on the person who ripped off your hands. Just little to be fair. Ahhhhh..."
Helper
"Him and me were the best of friends, but, as with the other 'friends' I have, I don't know how much of that is true now, and now much of it was true in the past."

"Let's just hope, a witch can help you, or else you're doomed."
