[Phone - Shortly after Grady's call]

Well, that was an amusing call.  "Stop the other residents and I'll grant you power and a way home"?

[A laugh]

What a line of crap!  I'd suggest all you idiots out there who think that this is your ticket home, stop and check your brains.  There's no fucking way they'll actual let you home after you stop everyone

"So have you led people on the same dance of deception, or merely been forced to waltz to its tune? It is curious to see how the human world works."

[thunderousnei]

[There will be a small silence before Nei responds. Her voice sounds a little agitated.]

I'm afraid it's both of those.

[elevatoravatar]

"I see, this time though, perhaps they are hoping to drown out the song of sanity with a mad waltz that leads to Erebus. Ah, were that I still had the master's blessing... Then perhaps something could be done."

[thunderousnei]

I don't understand half of what you're saying. [Nei sighs softly] Anyway, this seems to me a ploy to keep people from finding out whatever it is they don't want to be found out.

'We didn't bring you here to poke into things', he said, or something like that. In other words, 'That place goes against our will'. And that's just fine by me.

[elevatoravatar]

"Well.... If a powerless avatar of power could be of assistance... My curiosity has been peeked."

[thunderousnei]

Powerless?

[elevatoravatar]

"I awoke here to a human form. Alas, I have lost the gods and heroes that were at my fingertips and my master's connection. However, I have gotten to spend more than an hour or two in the sun, which, is almost a worthy trade."

[thunderousnei]

Hm. I don't fully understand, but you are apparently not human. I suppose that all we can do at present is not give in, if we can't help out.

[elevatoravatar]

"No. I am a servant of he who binds spirits. A lowly errand girl really."

[thunderousnei]

You're on your own here, so don't think of yourself as such. Everyone has some worth.

"Oddly enough, I left to set out to find if humanity would ever evolve to the point that Erebus would be no more. It has been.... Interesting."

[thunderousnei]

May I ask what Erebus is?

[elevatoravatar]

"Erebus is a dark god that draws power from each and every thought of self destruction humanity has. A thing that seeks to awaken Nyx, the harbinger of death."

[thunderousnei]

Hmn... We have Anthrax who wishes to destroy humanity where I exist. Could it be like that, then?

[elevatoravatar]

"In my world, a man, will sacrifice his life so that a wall will be formed around Nyx, preventing Erebus from awakening her. He... Was the one who taught me to find my own path as opposed to simply following the master's bidding. So... In my world... I was to wait at the Abyss of Time for humanity to evolve past the need of Erebus."

[thunderousnei]

I see. But instead you were brought here?
