???: Dada, what are you saying? *The girl looks kind of confused*
-
"What the hell... Just a little confused, honey. That's all."
-
???: How come? It's me, Katelyn. Do you need to lay down? *As you look down your clothes and appearance begins to change*
-
[i]Ornstein slightly panics.[/i] "I just need a minute, ok? Where's your mother?"
-
???: Downstairs... I'll... leave you alone a moment
-
"Thanks." [i]Orn sits down on the bed, looking at himself.[/i] [b]Mortar...what have you done? What...[/b]

*No response is given*

"Damnit..." [i]He finally goes down to check on his "family".[/i]

???1: Dada! Mini Mortar: Are you okay Dada?
-
"Yes...I'm ok, son. I'm gonna head out for a little bit, alright? Just gonna get some things first..." [spoiler]Does Orn still have access to his armor and weapons?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Not at the moment, no.[/spoiler] Mini Mortar: Doing what Dada?
-
[spoiler]Damn.[/spoiler] "Look, why don't you...wait a sec, why do you look like Mortar?! So... Hold on. Where ARE we?!"
-
Mini Mortar: Mo-Mortar? Dada, are you feeling okay? ???: Honey, did you drink too much yesterday?
-
"Look, I just need the location...that's all. I forgot some things..." [spoiler]I suppose this was Mortar's past when he was out of the Underworld?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Yeah...[/spoiler] ???: Honey... we're in New Jersey, we just got back from White House Subs.
-
[spoiler]Oh...great. I've gone from a god-serving knight to the father of a kid who got corrupted by a previous killing machine. Yahoo![/spoiler] [i]It all starts to kick in. Ornstein is staring at nothing now, confused at the thought. He was in the past, but...Mortar's father?[/i]
-
???: Honey? Mini Mortar: Mama, what is Dada doing?
-
"I'm...I'm not your dad. I promise. I'm Ornstein, sacred defender of Anor Londo, the home of the gods. I need to get Mortar. Now. Except...your Mortar. Your Mortar, I promise. You'll grow up, join a place called the Dojo...help me out...help so many others... You'll be a good kid. A good man. I know."
-
Mini Mortar: Dada, you're going mad! *As his mother begins to usher you away, your vision fades a little. When it comes back, you are sitting at the table with his mother, she looks at you in a strange way* Honey, are you okay?
-
[i]Ornstein shakes his head.[/i] "I'm not your husband, I swear! I gotta go, NOW!" [i]Orn gets up, leaving.[/i]

Mama: Richard, you're scaring me! *Mortar's mother follows you, grabbing your arm*
-
"I'm not Richard...please, let go. I don't know you. I don't know any of you...other than Mortar. I swear."
-
Mama: Mortar? Who is Mor... You said that name to Daniel. Who is Mortar Richard?
-
"He's my friend. One of my best friends... I'm not from here. I'm not Daniel."
-
Mama: I know you're not Daniel, your son is Daniel. Remember, Richard, please. *She looks desperate*
