There were so many things about their timelines that were different, especially since the majority of the Paradoxes had come from a nightmarish world that sounded so much like it came out of a comic book about the zombie apocalypse. Andromeda couldn't relate to zombies - but her world had had stories about the yellow brick road too, so there was a comforting commonality there. Her eyes continued to scan the horizon, feeling a slight wind brushing up against her face. Hopefully this place wasn't in the midst of nuclear winter or anything like that. If there was anything hiding amongst the leaves of the trees, they were expertly concealed. Something did catch her attention though - a sign of life! She squinted her eyes, putting her hand perpendicular to her forehead in an attempt to see better. [color=99ccff]"Birds - that's a good sign,"[/color] she said, partially to reassure herself but also to alert the others to what she could see. For once, Gilbert actually had some decent advice - they shouldn't just pause in the middle of the road here. His thought that they could be in an extremely small piece of reality reminded her a lot of the show [i]Doctor Who[/i], but she couldn't discredit his notion. There were far more amazing and seemingly improbable things in the universe than she had ever dreamt of - it was discovering them that got her blood pumping. What was to say they hadn't ended up on some narrow strip of existence? Maybe this was all that remained after the timelines all collided and collapse - just a road in the middle of nowhere in particular. Her eyes darted towards the side of the road as a shimmering haze appeared there - had the haze reestablished itself in a new form this time? Was this piece of reality about to collapse? Something was coming towards them and deep down, she privately hoped that it was James. Instead, a figure emerged, slowly coming into focus and detail, and instantly she was reminded of Lady Justice. The individual was blind folded, holding scales and a scythe. Her words only helped to cement the impression. Her heart was beating quickly and her mind had already come up with an answer for what her choice would be. If she had more time to analyze her thought processes, she probably would have been a little bit horrified at her own answer. And sure, she could have waited for the others to give their own thoughts first but her intuition was telling her not to hesitate here. [color=99ccff]"Are you Justice?"[/color] Andromeda asked quickly, not able to hold back her curiosity, before her eyes flickered to the left. [color=99ccff]"... I think punishment,"[/color] she said. [color=99ccff]"If we're going to figure out what's going on and save the multiverse... I don't think peace is an option for us."[/color] [hider=Roll Request - Andromeda]Location: PE Fade Between Attempted Actions: Trying to remember what she can about the goddess Lady Justice is based on, maybe something helpful will come to mind Skills: History (Occult) Reasons for Skills: History (Occult) - Greco-Roman paganism, baby.

The young (appearing) Emendator had lived through too much to really be horrified with the creepy and bizarre, even finding a certain element of delight in those woeful tales and sights. Of course, the skeleton also proved to be the key in her recollection as to just where they were. It was one of her regrets in life that she hadn't lived in Greece when it was truly at its peak - she had been living in the once Greek colony of Callatis at the time, seeing its transformation into a portion of the Roman Empire when Lucullus conquered it. One of her fellow Emendators, Evelina, had lived in Greece proper for ages. She would have known all about this place, but fortunately Nancy had read about it even though she had not experienced that culture in its fullest. [color=#9370DB]"Welcome, ladies and gentlemen, to the Greek Underworld,"[/color] Nancy announced. [color=#9370DB]"Or as it would be called by those who believed in it - Erebus, a welcoming ground of sorts for the souls of the recently deceased."[/color] There were more than two other Emendators somewhere here - she had to imagine that meant Evelina, Giouse, and Gilbert. Oh, she would have loved to see Drem here but she did not believe it would be so. His fate had been sealed a long time ago. [color=#9370DB]"It bears a striking resemblance to the Garden State,"[/color] she grinned a bit, glancing at Richard. He and Faye were both on her list of people she did not have an urge to strangle. Josephine was on that list as well. Her gut was telling her that the only way to deal with this situation was to just go on through. They would need to make some sort of trade with this man to be able to continue onwards. She wasn't going to trade away her Cards, but there was something else on her that she kept that was of value. Taking off her pendant, she held it out to the man - it had an Eihwaz Rune. It seemed fitting here anyways, as the rune symbolized life and death, Yggdrasil, and the yew tree. [color=#9370DB]"How's this for a trade?"[/color] Nancy asked. [color=#9370DB]"It's genuine - Loki's own pendant."[/color] [hider=Roll Request - Nancy]Location: DTTS Fade Between Attempted Actions: Nancy is going to try to get a read on this figure (in order to hopefully better barter/deal with him) Skills: History (General Human History) Reasons for Skills: History - what can she remember about a gatekeeper in Erebus?
