XOM:
Nothing beats coming back home. Back home, nothing beats nothing. Nothing comes from nothing. Home, aah~ home! [XOM chortles avuncularly.]
"What the fuck," Jack mutters.
XOM:
[Wagging his finger.] Language, my malnourished nephew!
Can you not see that our most esteemed PLAYER is in our presence? [He clicks his tongue once.]
It would not be acceptable for his puppets to be fighting like dogs or Mongolians before this Act has truly begun.
[Clapping with each word.] "Order! Order! ORDER!"
Jack and Patty stare at fox-headed man in increasing befuddlement and mild terror.
XOM [aside]
[A GODCHAT menu opens up.]
<With that said, how about a refreshing change of pace?>
XOM'S THEME? (7th Stand User OST - The Player)

"Wait, MORDRED, you've been here?" Jack looks at the TERMINAL interface.
[He turns directly to your screen.]
XOM: [Beckoning the PLAYER, ignoring everyone else.]
I'm not flipping you off.
C'mere kiddo...
Together we will do things that will stagger (You).
Now, before we return to our honest and- [Needless pause.]
- rewarding labours, back in the real world, the game world of DISFORTUNA...
I'd like to know if you might have a few choice words for your little dolls before you depart.
Go on. Talk to the mortal, my children!
The PSYCHOPOMP puts his hand to his head, feeling quite overwhelmed. He has never seen this man in his entire life. <Such a shame, really. I'm sure we'd get along like peas and carrots.>
Jack lets out a long synthesized sigh. He can do nothing else. After another moment, he regains composure and starts smiling again. "Hey Pal, long time no see. It's been a <span class="mu-b">quiet year</span> since I last saw you at the end of the first game. I gotta say, things have progressed somewhat, but not much has changed."
"Speech! Speech! Speech!" Patty claps her hands together. She looks around for a moment, then stares at the same spot where Jack and XOM are talking to.
[Man, this game is REALLY fucking weird.]
