I swallowed. Both options sounded equally horrible. I guess Eyo had some dark side.

"U-Um...blissful ignorance? What's that line from the Matrix again?" I asked, looking around at them.

"I wouldn't know. If it was from Ferris Bueller's Day Off I'd know it in two seconds. The only movie I've watched more is Scott Pilgrim vs the World." Mika said scratching up her head. "Hate to say it, but things could go either way here."

"Well, you're an Oracle, right? You can see things, for better or for worse right?" Sora asked. Mika folded her arms, tapping her foot.

"It's limited, and even then I don't like using my power all that often. It's more of a curse than a blessing. Look too far and you'll see something you never wanted to see." Mika explained. "And I'm only half Oracle. I can only see possibilities and assume which is most likely to happen."

"What?!" He shouted. "When I first took on this job you said you saw me becoming a full fledged member of this team after I died!"

"Yeah, I did this thing that even you human filth can do: lied." Mika said. "Not gonna lie though, you're on a good track. Reincarnating as an Oracle is a crapshoot at best, but you're definitely on your way to becoming a demon. When I...go, I might leave my scythe to you. I think you'd find the best use for it." Quinn scoffed and stood up, eyes stretched wide.

"TO HIM?!" She screeched. "He's just some peon! You're bestowing the Scythe of the Frozen Inferno to him?!"

"Quinn, you can't even hold a scythe the right way." Eyo said.

"Can it Eyo!" She yelled. "He's just a human, and you're giving him an Oracle's weapon! The souls of high demons are in there, including Kaiysha's!"

"I'm not going to live forever dumbass, I don't get that luxury like your privileged aristocratic ass." Mika growled. "I could sell you out right now, don't forget it." She looked more pissed off than usual, and that was saying something.

"Sell me out?! You're the reason why we're in this mess, all because you couldn't do your fucking job and stay loyal to just one client!"

"You wouldn't even have that client if it wasn't for me! Meanwhile you barely complete a job without having your entire cover blown!"

"You get arrested more times than I ever failed a mission! A good mercenary doesn't get themselves arrested, they stay out of prison!"

"At least I can break myself out! Getting out of maximum security is child's play! You get into a jail truck and act like it's the end of the world as we know it!"

"It is the end of the world as we know it, and you're relying on some moronic human to take up your place!"

"What? Did you think I'd leave it to you for some off-the-fucking-wall reason? So this team can go head first into danger over your next fling?!"

"My next fling?! You and Katsu barely hold down a relationship more than friends with benefits!"

"At least I can hold down a relationship! And leave Katsu out of this, cumdumpster!"

"Here we go again..." Katsu said, rolling his eyes. "(Name), I suggest you make yourself comfortable." He took off his hat and glasses, Eyo settling into his chair with a slight smirk on his face as Mika and Quinn continued to go at it. Poor Sora just seemed to be caught in the crossfire. The more they went at it; the more Sora looked like he just wanted to back out of the front door and run.

"Does this happen often?" I asked, my eyes following the argument. I was surprised Mika hadn't pulled a gun at this point.

"Only people who argue more than Quinn and I are Mika and Quinn. Somehow we all manage to stay on the same team." Eyo said.

"Mika's just...on edge right now. Can you truly blame her?" Katsu said. "As of now, the responsibility of finding whatever is wrong with time remains on her shoulders. Sora is only learning from her right now. This incident is unique: time has never reacted in a way like this. The splitting and converging of timelines...correct me if I'm wrong Eyo, but this is the first occurrence of an event like this."

"You're right: it's the first time this kind of thing has ever happened, not to mention finding whatever's triggering it is...well, a crapshoot honestly. Even traveling between timelines is a danger all in itself." Eyo agreed nodding. Inky made a sort of whimpering noise on his shoulder, Eyo scratching the tiny dragon's chin.

"Shouldn't you two stop them? This looks like it could explode into a fight any moment." I asked. Mika was looking angrier and angrier by the second. Her already short fuse was probably on the verge of blowing us all to smithereens at this point.

"Stop who? Those two? When they're arguing like this?" Eyo scoffed "No way. I may never age, but I can be killed. I'd rather not die in a cat fight between those two...that would probably be a slow death." Katsu patted my shoulder comfortingly.

"If it's any consolation, Mika will probably get bored of this fight and get hungry in a few minutes. She'll carry out her duties, and eventually, so will Quinn." He said. "As for us, I have to go meet your psychotic boyfriend. How very fortunate I must be."

"Wait...wouldn't it be...I don't know, really reckless with another guy just walking around when he's on my back 24/7?" I asked.

"I'll hide myself if need be. I just have to be around to make sure there's nothing horrifying happening to you while Mika has her investigation." Katsu said. "I'm telepathic and telekinetic (Name), I'll contact you somehow." He stood up, summoning a ball of shadows and letting it fall to the floor.

"Well then, let's go."
