I wasn't there, so I could be entirely off-base.

But I'm gonna guess it wasn't working. At least not in the way you thought it was.

_{[It makes her feel kind of gross, talking to a cultist like she's on their level. But she's not going to repeat the mistakes she made with Claudia, when she came here. In that sense... she's entirely earnest. Snarling out her real feelings on the matter had only made things worse.]}

Either way, those sacraments aren't going to do you any good here.

[ He doesn't answer but it's clear he disagrees, levelling her with a strange gaze. ]

Maybe not. But there will be another way to purge the sins of humanity. And Mother... [ His hands tighten on his Cubone again, who wiggles violently. But then he loosens his grip, holding the Pokemon to his chest like it was a soft toy. He doesn't know what to do about her. She's not here at all, not just sleeping far away and blocked from him by people in other apartments. ]

_{[That gaze makes the hairs on the back of her neck all want to stand on end, but she doesn't break eye contact. Cultists are like freaking dogs. THEY CAN SENSE FEAR.]}

Well. Maybe there will and maybe there won't.

[ He knows that look. That's the look Henry had when facing some of the monsters in his worlds. His gaze relaxes into a smile. ]

I will find a way. Then I can return and heal the other world. Both worlds will know Paradise.

_{[Aaaaand the jig is up.]

[Heather's eyes narrow.]}

You won't.

_{[She almost adds a "We'll stop you", but well, considering this is DEFINITELY the guy who was trying to murder Henry, she'd rather not tip him off that his Receiver is here, too.]

[So instead, she goes with:]}

I've already cleaned up the sort of mess you people cause, and I'll do it again if I have to.

My people. [ Congratulations, there's a hint of surprise on his face. Had she - no if she was - she wasn't part of the Order. She was like Joseph, an outsider. She must have fought with Dahlia. But again, she looks younger than himself when he had been alive. Then that smile is back. ]

You cannot understand what I will achieve.

_{[SOOPRIIIIIIIIISE!]

[Now that she's not maintaining a facade, there's something a little more steadfast and solid in her stance, even just the shoulders visible in the PokeGear screen's limited view. Her jaw is set, and it doesn't weaken at his smile.]}

You're wrong. I understand perfectly.

You think you're the first to try and purge the world?

[ He thought back and shook his head ] I was taught of St. Alessa. How a man intervened and prevented the birth of God.

Even if I do not cleanse this world, it doesn't matter. It is the awakening of Mother that matters most. [ But cleansing this world will presumably make her happy, won't it? ]

_{[And there's the namedrop.]

[She folds her arms, cocking her head to the side a little bit. Now it's her turn to smile! It's not a particularly mirthful one, but there is a hint of morbid anticipation in there. This whole weirdass conversation appeals to the darker side of Heather's humor. Which, after everything she'd gone through in Silent Hill, is kind of most of it.]}

Okay, so you know about Alessa and that whole debacle. Not too surprising, I'm guessing it's kind of required reading for the Order.

But do you know who you're talking to, right now?

Go on. Take a guess.

[ He blinks politely. Was she really trying to suggest she was Alessa...? He didn't know what happened after the attempted birth of God. Only that a man intervened. ]

I don't know. Are you a priestess of the Holy Mother sect?

_{[She doesn't blink, and her stare isn't polite at all.]}

I'm Alessa Gillespie and the best thing I ever did for this world was put Dahlia's lying, power-hungry tongue out of commission for good.

And if you try to continue her work here, I'll make sure it goes exactly where she did: nowhere.

[ He tilts his head, clearly thinking. She doesn't look like the pictures of Alessa he's seen. And all he knew was that she had vanished, so they taught him the ritual to awaken his Mother and open the doors to Paradise. It might be possible for her to be Alessa but he honestly wouldn't be able to tell. He hums softly. ]

I will do what I must to please Mother and awaken her. [ At the end, that's all that matters. ]

_{[It's true-- he really does have nothing but her word to go on. But at the very least, she looks like she believes her own words.]}

Then good luck. You'll need it if you're up against me.

_{[AndherfellowsurvivorHenrybutshe'snotmentioninghim.]

[And then she hangs up. CLICK.]}
