[The feed comes on, and stays on, as always happens when the System are contacting their Honoured Guests. The image isn't the same as anything it has been before. It isn't the inside of Praenuntius' cabin, nor is it the foggy Other Plain, instead all that can be seen is a white wall, with far too much light shining into the image, daylight it would

You what? Speak in ruddy English...

[foretelltheend]

Ah, the ageing policeman.

I spoke English, unless the vision came out in Old Mandalian, which I doubt you'd comprehend.

[unbreakablelion]

Oi you cheeky git! I'm in the prime of me life!

And I meant stop talking in bleedin' riddles and start making some sense, you twonk.

[foretelltheend]

Prime of your life, hm? Of course.

It was not a riddle. I can give you a riddle. What has four legs in the morning, two legs in the afternoon, and three legs in the evening?

[unbreakablelion]

Everyone knows that one - man in the three stages of life. [ It was in his Christmas cracker one year. ]

So what's all this bollocks about reality changing then?

[foretelltheend]

What a clever little cookie you are.

[He shrugs a bit.] Something that our beloved Serpent is doing, I would presume. It has more control these days than it had before.

[unbreakablelion]

That Serpent is starting to piss me off. Someone ought to cut it's 'ead off.

[foretelltheend]

Hence your presence here, all of you that is.

[unbreakablelion]

Doing your dirty work for you...

[foretelltheend]

Hardly. It is my sibling and I that fight the beast head on more often than any of you have fought a single thing in this world.

[unbreakablelion]

Well then, you obviously don't need our 'elp as much as you reckon you do then.

[foretelltheend]

Tell Entity that. I think we should just let every world crash and burn.

[unbreakablelion]

Nice to know how you really feel about us folk.

[foretelltheend]

I never did care much for anyone. It was not my job to.

[unbreakablelion]

That doesn't give you the right to treat folk like they're sommat you scraped off the bottom of your boot.

[foretelltheend]

I haven't been that impolite. Stop fussing. Thou wilt grow grey hair.
