Quote:There are two different paths I could take this along, actually.
Am I to take it from his introduction that Mr. Shroedinger (*snrk*, BTW) arrived via the Black Guardian Limited?
One of them being that, yes, Incarna!Griev did, somewhere and sometime after that botched attempt to get back to his first dystopian stop of the multiverse, meet with a representative of Black Guardian Limited who offered him a bit of a helping hand on his way for, say, 'Oh, nothing much. Just sow some chaos, confusion, maybe start a world-destroying war or two in that one reality. A trifle, really.'
The other is that he ended up there by chance and chose 'Black' because there's a symmetry to it. He likely came up with it after being made aware of Schwarz and Smith. I mean, we have Aswad, we have Schwarz. Plus, Schwarz has a guy with an English surname working the field for them. Hence, Black and Schrdinger (and I was waiting to use _that_ one for a while, let me tell you). Also, if there are actual Black&White Guardian recruited presences also present, it could make things even more twisted. Potential conflict with whoever the White Guardian recruited because Katz was being flippant and chose Black as the company name.
Ah. My bad. There's the third possiblity, wherein he's working with the White Guardian's chosen insertee as an indie, and the Black thing is, along with the reason named in the last point, there as the equivalent of a rude gesture towards the other side. Which is where I thought of a Nate avatar.
Regardless, given his history, he's not likely to respond well to the concept of the Otome as an army's main weapons.
Anyway, this is still in the pipe dream stage. Like I said, I'm waiting for Mai Otome to be finished before I put down anything that's actually, y'know, plot-relevant or definite.
And Mai will likely show up sometime soon.
