A toymaker? Seriously? Yeah, that’ll work out great. The body of an ancient monstrous demon hidden in the cracks between worlds? Not good enough A toy? A doll? That should do the trick! What is Umbra and Aka thinking? This is going to backfire spectacularly… and honestly? Maybe we should just let them make this error. No amount of arcane knowledge or unparalleled craftsmanship could ever contain Ringan Storm. If the original Owner couldn’t even control that thing, what chance does Umbra have? Unless… this “toymaker” is someone or something more… I don’t know, “legit.”
Still, I've got no clue who or what could be talented enough to pull off this harebrained scheme. So, we’re going to need to intercept Redman and Robbie. Last time we tried that—last time I tried that—it didn’t go very well. I won’t make that mistake again. I’m certainly not going to go alone, if at all. I hate to leave this all up to H.R. to do, but I’m sure she can handle it. Plus, it might throw them off if they’re expecting the Manager or me to try and stop them.
Although, there is another wrinkle in this, which is that Redman and Robbie aren’t looking for a Flipside toymaker. According to the Head of Bob (we decided to name it “Bob” by the way, to differentiate it from the full Robert) this toymaker is some sort of Demon. Amaymonian, too. I guess that’s better than Hauntaurskaldian… marginally. Personally, I would’ve guessed a Morningstarian Demon would be ideal for making a body capable of holding the concept of Pride itself. Mm… then again, I doubt they could find a Morningstarian Demon willing to work with them. Well—we don’t even need to really follow them all the way into the Necropolis, we just need to figure out which nightclub they're using to get there.
