"His name's Cecil." Jackson responded.

"Cecil Johannison." he told her.

"How to convince them? Well, if he won't do it on his own, tell them that ol' Jacky Boy sent you, and that this can solve the big big trubbs." he told her further.

"And I mean that. Use that EXACT terminology." he clarified.

"As for where he is.... I dunno." he admitted with a shrug.

"Could be anywhere. You got someone that might had a wide net, as far as social connections go? Preferably underground?" he asked her.

Ana quirked an eyebrow when Jackson stressed to use the same terminology.

"I..." She shrugged.

"Ok then." She said, deciding to not question it.

"As for a net, maybe? I'm not entirely sure. I can ask around though. I have a few people I trust, yeah."

"Then I suggest you ask them." Jackson responded.

He then giggled again, before shaking his head slightly.

"I also suggest you go." he told her.

"I can feel myself slipping, still." he said.

"If you come back here, then cool. I wouldn't mind the company." he continued.

"But give me some time to tidy up the place, it's an absolute mess!" he then exclaimed, before laughing out loud once more.

Ana sighed lightly.

"Jackson, I will see you again." She said before meeting his gaze once more.

"And you will be free of this hell. I promise." She added. After that, she knew she had to leave, so she did.

She didn't want to, but she knew, she could tell, that she had to.

And she had to ask her friend something anyway.

"Bye-bye!" Jackson replied.

"Don't let the door hit you on the way out!" he added with another laugh.

With that, she exited his mind, and travelled back to her friend at the Morgue. There she found her newest host, which was that of a 17-year old girl with long black hair and a d-sized chest.

When she entered, and adjusted, she found that things looked blurrier than usual.

"Her glasses are beside you." she heard her friend say from where he was.

"I know it's not optimal, but I figured needing glasses wouldn't be TOO much of a hassle." he reasoned.

Ana was silent.

".... I really didn't expect the glasses." She commented as she slid them on his face.

"Anyway, I got some news." She then said.

"Not sure what it is that is going to come from it, or if I can actually adequately use it, but...." She paused a moment before filling him in on what it was that she'd been told by Jackson.

Her friend was silent for a moment, before his eyes suddenly widened.

"Cecil?" he asked.

"I know Cecil!" he told her.

"Yes... yes, his ability SHOULD work for you, in theory." he said further.

"....I think I know where he might be, too." he then mumbled.

"But someone's going to need to go and find him." he told her further.

"I can't do it, as it'll be weird for me to be out and about for an extended period." he then reasoned.

"Just tell me where to go and I'll do it." Ana stated simply.

"If I have any sort of idea for where I'm going, shouldn't be difficult, I don't think." She paused a moment.

"Whcih makes sense to me, anyway"

"...." her friend was silent, and then sighed.

"He should be in the next city." he told her.

"Last I heard, he had been running an internet cafe, though I don't know if he'll still be running it now." he said further.

"If you want to go, I won't stop you." he went on.

"This might be our best shot at fixing this broken future."

Ana was silent for a moment before nodding.

"Well, duly noted." She said.

"I know what I need to do then." That much was true. She had to go and speak with him. She had to see if he could help out, so as to maybe make it that this world wasn't such a disaster.

"I'll get some things together for you." her friend replied.

"Supplies and the like." he clarified.

"What's your immediate plan?" he then asked.

"I realize the larger goal is the meet Cecil, but what about right now?" he asked further.

"Are you going to see Jackson one more time?"

Ana paused a moment.

"I..." She started before falling silent.

"I don't know." She admitted.

"I mean... I want to, but at the same time... I really don't."

"Well, best make your decision." he responded.

"In the meantime, I'll get the stuff together." he went on.

"However, let me know sooner, rather than later." he continued.

"I need to know if I should prep another body to add to the new reserve." he reasoned.

"Anyway, I'll leave you to make your decision." he finished, before heading to the back of the building... his living quarters.

She didn't debate for long before sighing. She knew she couldn't go back to Jackson, she had to fix this.

Before there was potentially irreparable damage.

---

Some time later, she was standing outside of where she'd been told Cecil was. She didn't know what it was that she was supposed to expect here, but she knew that she had to go and find out what was awaiting her.

She'd called ahead and made an appointment, but she didn't know what kind of appointment this truly was.

All she could do, was step inside and get the show on the road.

So she did.

When she stepped inside, she saw computers lining the walls, all set up for gaming, or internet surfing. She also saw some old consoles set up for gaming purposes.

But nobody was there.

All she saw was a man in a tattered lab coat, sitting at the far back, at a desk, working on assembling a computer.

When she approached him, he didn't look at her, didn't even acknowledge her at first, but he spoke.

"Welcome." he said.

"Been a while since someone's actually made an appointment for here." he went on.

"I barely even get any business at all, what with the rumours of online activity being heavily monitored and tapped and all." he continued.

"Anyway, what do you want with us?" he asked, referring to his business as a whole.

Ana looked around before looking to him, her gaze soft, but determined. She looked him from head to toe before smiling softly.

"Actually, I'm here to speak with Cecil, or you if that is you." She then said.

"On behalf of a mutual friend."

"........." the man was silent for a moment, briefly stopping his work.

"Cecil?" he asked.

"I'M Cecil." he said, restarting his work on the computer.

"And a mutual friend?" he asked.

"I don't HAVE any friends any longer." he muttered.

"But I'll humour you. Continue." he then said further.

Ana nodded.

"Jacky Boy sent me, and that you can solve the big big trubbs" She said, editing what he'd said slightly to make it make sense.

"I need your help." She then added.

"And Jackson says you can, and that you'd basically be the one that would fix this massive problem."

Cecil froze when he heard that.

"......" he was silent, before standing up.

He walked past her, to the front of the store, before locking the door and putting up a 'back at' sign.

With that, he walked back to her.

"Come." he told her.

"We need to speak in the office." he said, before making his way off to the side, and going through an office door.

Ana watched him walk to the door before approaching again. When he said what he did, she nodded before folowing. Once they were in the room in question, she sighed.

"Sorry to just drop in like this." She said after a few seconds, not sure if there was more to this than she was aware of - for all she knew this was an elaborate set up for a hidden room or something.
