[and Axel finally comes to, but it's not a gradual awakening. One gloved hand clutches together suddenly, as if seeking to grip a weapon, and he immediately attempts to sit up. He makes it, though it looks like the movement's taking a fair bit of his current strength, fingers digging into the wood of the pew.]

F-fuck. What hap -

[And there's an Edward watching from the top of a pew as he wakes up.]

Hi.

[a_ccidentalism]

[glances up with an almost-smile.]

Hey, Ed.

[timeforjam]

[Have an almost-smile back!]

Glad you're back.

[a_ccidentalism]

Yeah, so am I.

[tries to take a proper breath - oh nope, that still hurts.]

Back from where?

[timeforjam]

Dunno. Last week twenty people disappeared. And you all came back today.

We thought it might have something to do with the building that opened up but there was nothing there but a maze where you saw dead people and there was a white altar at the end and it made people feel really bad so not everyone could get to the end.

[what. A week? The last thing he can remember was a swirl of flames, the flash of chakrams and then -]

[a_ccidentalism]

Somehow that really doesn't surprise me.

[timeforjam]

[Nods.]

Don't... know what happened. But.

...Now you're back.

[a_ccidentalism]

Something wrong?

[timeforjam]

[Shrugs.]

In the building, there was a maze. In the maze we saw everyone dead. It wasn't real, but it was still creepy. We thought that people would be in there, but they weren't. So.

[a_ccidentalism]

...

Let me guess, you saw me in there?

[timeforjam]

[Rocks back and forth a little.]

Saw everyone.

[a_ccidentalism]

And everyone's back now.

[timeforjam]

[Nods. Smiles a little.]

[a_ccidentalism]

[testing his ability to stand up...]

So. What did I miss while I was on that little vacation?

[timeforjam]

[Pauses for a moment, then grins.]

Alien attack.
