Right, well, I’m glad I didn’t end up on the bad side of the Zulus. Or, well, Folistes, I suppose, yeah? Whichever side Amber and her lot are on. I reckon I might still be on the actual Secret Zulu’s radar… but then again, I was only ever “Unidentified Cult Leader No. 4” to them, choice? Sad to say, I don’t think I ever registered as much of a threat. Not that I was trying to be one, mind you. My goals remain the same as ever: to spread peace, love, and joy. Oh, and get the 8 back in the process.
See, the 8 is dangerous. Not inherently, that is. I mean, we managers seemed to be fine with using it. It’s only dangerous in the wrong hands. That’s why I figured I might as well split it evenly amongst every living person. With 1/8-billionth a piece, no one can misuse it, nor can anyone who wants to misuse it meaningfully get it in one place. Seemed like a brill solution at the time. ‘Course, I didn’t consider what it’d do to Joy. Or that, realistically, it’s only a temporary solution. See—what happens when things get, you know, “rewound?”
At this point, we’re all well aware this is not the first go-around for the Universe. When things go up that should go down, blah, blah, blah Universe reset. It's a tale as old as time, literally. But it got me thinking… what happens to the 8 when things do get rewound? I’ll admit it, I don’t know how the 8 works. Not anymore. I used to, back when I had all 8 pieces. But I can’t shake the feeling that we’re in grave danger should the Universe rewind again. It places the 8 back on the table for anyone to grab.
So, I figure we should try and grab it first, yeah? The problem is I don’t know how exactly to get a hold of the 8 again. Not yet, anyway. I have thousands of ideas, but if part of me “remembers” something from the 8, maybe Jenni, Nick, Jackie, Joy, and Julia do too. Hell, if Jules is still available to ask, maybe he’s got a bit knocking around in his head.
