This is...No. No it can't be. But Raven's power has returned.

The Abyss. Why here. Why of all places...

Just what I needed to deal with today. Tyki Mikk was it? It seems you'll get first hand knowledge of Chains.

...You know about this place?

Good. What the hell is it and why does it stink.

[brbbeingtopped]

Its a place that connects to home.

Its the Abyss and the stink is the dead. ...The dead from ages ago.

[scratchedcue]

Abyss. Good name for it since it feels like there's no escape from here.

No zombies though. Right? There were a few of those apparently last week and I don't have a shotgun or a baseball bat.

[brbbeingtopped]

There is no escape, unless you have enough power to break free.

Zombies are the least of your worries.

[pleasurestease]

Is that some kind of thinly veiled threat?

Because right now the furthest thing from my mind is allowing you this altercation. I have no desire to die again.

[brbbeingtopped]

Its a warning. Don't trust anything here, everything will try to kill you or drive you insane. Don't accept any contracts for power, there's no way to do it legally in this place.

You're not my enemy. I thought I'd return the favor you did for me last time is all.

[pleasurestease]

You have to forgive my instant animosity, I'm not very well liked by others in my world.

But thanks for the advice and warning. We're now even.

[brbbeingtopped]

Its fine.

You're welcome, and so we are. Try not to let any Chain here drive you mad. [He says that too seriously to be a joke.]

[silverclown]

Ah?! Chains?

So.. do you know what's going on here now?

[brbbeingtopped]

Chains are weapons that come from the Abyss.

Yes, I do. I'd suggest you run and don't stop running.

[silverclown]

The...Abyss? Is that what this place now is called?

I... It's that bad..?

[brbbeingtopped]

Bad is the biggest understatement I've ever heard about it.

[moonsaulting]

This is obviously your world then.

What do we do.

[brbbeingtopped]

Run, keep moving and don't let any Chain catch you. Try not to draw attention and find the apartments again. Do it as quickly as you can.

[moonsaulting]

Okay. But. What's a Chain and how will we know one?

[brbbeingtopped]

Chains are weapons, but they're almost monsters. Its not hard to tell a Chain apart from a person - they'll try to kill you or force you to make a contract with them.
