Britney sighed, it seemed that Cyrus was new to all of this insanity. She hoped that nobody else would get involved, but if her [i]very fleeting suspicions[/i] were correct a lot of people are dead. Probably including people that Britney knows, so she could only sigh in response. Though she was getting off track a little here and she needed to answer Cyrus' questions. He was confused as she was when she was first initiated into all of this. She put her hands out, as the trees on the palms of her hands began to glow a bright color. A thick wooden vine came out of the palm of her hand and wrapped around her torso. "You're one of us, first and foremost, an awakened," Britney gestured towards the sigil on the back of his hand which she eyed the second he spoke up. "Which means two things; first that you had some strong emotions resting inside of you and that gave you the potential to Awaken. And second; you have gone through some kind of traumatic incident that tapped into that potential." That should make it easier to explain the next part. Which was the harder part... as Britney needed to explain the Glutton to everyone. "You were probably injured by, what I believe, to be the roves of furious people corrupted by that... thing." There was something inherently wrong to Britney about saying the Glutton's name... that thing would be the end of them. "... The Glutton, I don't know what in the world it is, but it's the being that is responsible for the town going to hell. It's an ancient abomination that feeds on emotion, our emotion. And you want to know what's the most [i]delicious[/i] to it?" "Stop playing this game, Brit," Jordan groaned at Britney. "Just say it." "Fear, hatred, and [i]love[/i] of it," Britney said and the room went silent. "It's the reason why, despite the fact that it's probably the most powerful [i]thing[/i] in the universe, it hasn't just wiped out the town. Because it has the power to do so." She shook her head, "Ages before anything we know and love was even a thought, this thing went on a rampage, eating thousands of different universes- and yes, there are alternate universes - before it was stopped by the inhabitants of Gli- I mean, the inhabitants of another universe and it was sealed in the mountain. Where it should have stayed." Britney shrugged her shoulders, "Something not too long ago woke it up, and now it's trying to escape and kill everyone." She realized that this was a lot for Cyrus and everyone else. "We... Awakened, are the only thing in between it and the destruction of what's left of reality." Britney said. "... And we will stop it," Justin optimistically said. "Screw that end of the world bullshit, I promise that [i]everyone[/i] here will live a happy life!"
