'Course it wasn't long until somebody joined Jaden at the "fun crater".

It didn't seem all that fun.

Jaden raised an eyebrow and turned his head towards the newcomer and saw that it was one of the weirdos who he met in that weirdo dimension. It was that really tall chick - and Jaden meant really tall. Probably so tall her weirdo ass busts her head on the doorframe when she walks through. Probably gotta buy man clothes, too! Though, Jaden knew she was one of those magical whatever the fucks that are in Araminta. It was obvious that they were sent to the Outside because they weren't normal. Way too obvious. Just what kind of weird was Agatha? Awakened? Jaden also heard of other types, but he didn't know what they were or what to even call them! 

Though, she didn't make too great of a first (... and a half) impression on Jaden.

"Hey!" She said, "You came here looking for the cause of us getting abducted last night? Me too... Looks like we just found it"

Jaden craned his head as he looked at Sherlock Holmes here.

"If by "Found the cause," you mean we found a random ass hole in the ground," Jaden started, flatly, "then yeah, [i]we found it.[/i]"

Jaden gave her his usual, award-winning™ shit-eating grin.

"Okay, I'm not gonna say nothin'," Jaden said as he put his hands up, still grinning. "But, we found where whatever gay ass magic was casted or whatever. What we don't know is who did it, or why. So, I gotta ask ya'; do you know anything about what happened? Or where that Brianna chick went?"

Jaden put his hands on his hips.

"Or better yet; any way to get back into the Outside?"

Eventually, the Shuck lead Elias (and any others) to the body of the man that was just skewered by the Moose. It was a brutal sight... and the trail of blood led off into the distance. However, the Shuck walked to the side of the man's body and lied down. Staring directly at Elias unflinchingly as it spoke in a menacingly deep voice.

"Elias Levi... I have two warnings for you, and it's up to you whether or not you share it with your fellow Extra-Normal beings, as I am only making this warning once," The Shuck started, "I am [b]the Hound[/b], the guardian of the balance between all life and death. If any of you attempt to cheat death or aid somebody else in cheating death; I will come for you. And if I do..." 

The Shuck - or rather, the Hound - let those words hang into the air.

"... there is not a damned thing any of you can do to stop me."

The Hound stood up on its feet as it walked to the side of Elias as it said, "I also have to warn you about the Outside and the dangers of it. Now that you've escaped the Outside once; its attendant will want you back to play its sick games. And she will hunt you until the end of time itself."

The Hound chuckled.

"I may assist you, but my price may be more than what you can pay... I'll at least tell you to trust the girl with the cellphone."

While Tristan was venting about their situation, there was a black oily substance growing on the wall that he chucked his weapon at. It started as one spot as if someone spilled their drink on it. However more and more liquidy spots began appearing - until the substance was an enormous black mass on the wall.

Whenever she moved, there was an unnatural twitching to her movement. Suddenly she'd be standing still, then another she would have a dozen arms. Then another second her arm would be up.

The thing spoke... except there was something wrong with its voice. It sounded like a few hundred voices were speaking at the same time. All demonically deep, and very hard to understand. When it saw Tristan, it [i]smiled.[/i]

The thing kept talking, moving unnaturally. In the blink of an eye, it had its hands over its face as if it was covering its eyes.
