Okay, so, Shaka said he can't do it. Well, that's not exactly what he said, but more-or-less the gist of it. Rumor is, if you want a full breakdown of WHY he "can't" fix the Mirror, it's in the AND-Channel. But fair warning, the password is a doozy. Almost a Double Doozy, but thankfully it's not that bad. Pretty close, though, to be fair. Luckily I am very smart. Smart enough to know when to just ask what the password is. And while I can't say what the password is, I know it has something to do with poetry. Or lyrics. Or both? Something like that. You'll figure it out.
Anyway, Shaka can't help, so what are our alternatives? Well… there's:
Rem Lezar the Quixotic Dreamlord. Things work differently in the hypnagogic planes, so maybe Rem could either fix the Mirror or guide us towards the solution. I'll have No. 161 look into that.
Belphegor the Prince of Sloth. I saw someone mention this on the Archives, and it might be worth a shot. Her plane, the Ouroboros, is somewhat connected to Eden… so sure, maybe! I'll have No. 422 see if he can get in touch with his demon-mommy.
Nine and his Society of Nom de Plume. Time nerds. Eden is technically sorta stuck in the past. Or… a past. I don't know. I'm not a time nerd (thank Bird), so it might be worth a shot. I'll have No. 2 see if Nine would be able to help. Nerds know how to speak to nerds.
Lastly, The Primordial Ape, Zeh. To be honest, it's kind of a crack shot, but we know that he has an impressive collection of junk from all throughout countless Spheres and Cycles. At one point, he had the Scepter of Solomon, which could totally get us to Eden and back. Now, of course, Zeh is our friend. Our friendliest of friends. As such, he probably wants nothing to do with us. And, none of us could really hand him if negotiations were to go sour. Plus, he might try and add Miss. Augustine to his collection. Overall, it's a bad idea. To ask him. To steal from him? Well… it's something I want to look into myself.
Now, of course, this will add three more people into our little Augustine secret, but I know that Belphie and Nine already know about it between you and me. I mean, I think Nine could've pieced it together when he helped us find Dover. And Belphie, well, she knows a lot of stuff as is. Rem? Rem may or may not already know. It seems to me like he is very unconcerned with what's happening in the real world because everything to him is just a dream anyway. And Zeh? Well, if I can pull this off, he won't even know I was there.
