<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Puts a hand on your shoulder from behind*
Let’s talk.

@Heroic

*Instinctively launches a left hook into your throat*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Heroic>

I spent long enough waiting, while you paid no price for what you did.
*Leaps forward, rocketing toward you and tackling you into the mist*

@Valiance

*Follows into the mist, trying to catch a glimpse*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

*It immediately falls straight down, disappearing into the ground as though intense gravity had caught a baseball*

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

A lot of time has passed. There’s a lot of info to share, and a lot to catch up on. Please.

@Heroic

*Keeps my range and retains a defensive stance*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Emerges from the mist, my eyes watery and my mouth agape*
You were still alive…

@Heroic

*Cuts my eyes toward Roland*
Here's your chance.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*A humanoid figure walks toward you from the mist*
I had no idea…

@Heroic

*Holds my hands up in a defensive position*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Valiance>

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

…
*The air remains silent as the civilized environment continues to evaporate, the mist reducing visibility as the planet shows its true self as a barren gray rock*

@Heroic

I’m suddenly glad I didn’t drink that tea...

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*You feel the floor beneath you give way as the house itself starts to become mist as well, dropping you to the ground below*
Now I have to reset, just to put things right… Thankfully, these folks have me here to ensure their safety.

@Heroic

Harboring a demon.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*My voice echoes in the room as the bodies slowly dissolve into mist*
You beat me to it. Why would you go and disturb a peaceful neighborhood like that?

@Heroic

Not exactly what I meant.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

I take it we have his attention now.

@Valiance

What do you think was the point of that?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Artifact>

*Our movements slow to a sudden stop, as if time around you freezes entirely*

@Heroic

What’s going on with this?
