[The last thing he had remembered was pain - pain and the voices of the members of SEES around him. Death was close, and Nyx was coming. She would bring her salvation to everyone.]

[And yet… he feels somewhat damp. That is strange - strange enough that he opens his eyes and looks around. He seems to be in a plaza - but that cannot be. He was dead, even if they had managed to stop her - which was impossible no matter what they believed. No matter how much he wished to make sure her arrival was prepared… he was unable to stop them.]

[At least he would have some peace… though it appears now that he is denied it for the moment. He feels in his pocket, clasping his hand around the pills. There aren't many left. Why would he have need of them where he was going? But in this situation… this could be a problem.]

[He snatches up his gun and shrugs his shoulders, attempting to gain feeling back in them where they are starting to go a little numb and cold. He will explore this place… and find the answers that he seeks.]

Comments

[soulsrest]

[You mean sanity? Or concern? He parted ways with both of those a long time ago.]

And what is this... realm, exactly?

[handshakegreeting]

[Sanity is for the weak and one of her Chosen.]

It is called Vatheon. I am afraid time does not work here the way you are used to.

[soulsrest]

And how does it work, then?

[handshakegreeting]

[Now how does she put this in a way that doesn't reveal too much. After all, certain... elements may be familiar.]

You could say that this world is trapped in a pocket of time between one second and the next, yet there is something off about it. [Smile smile.] I have seen people from the same reality be brought here from different points in time.

[soulsrest]

[... Like the Dark Hour.]

Different points in time? Interesting.

[Hopefully SEES is from a point in time where they are less powerful... Yeah no luck there.]

And what of this device?

[He holds up the SFC.]

[handshakegreeting]

[Enjoy the one similarity to their world that this one holds...]

that would be the StarFish Communicator. Or, S.F.C. for short.

[soulsrest]

And what is the purpose of such a device? Aside from simply 'communicating', considering that is obvious from the name.

[It's free. He doesn't trust free. There's always a catch with free.]
