[Hello Abax, have an Assassin on your phones. He's a bit preoccupied with the white, obviously advanced... thing he'd found. The technology was unlike any he'd seen before and so far he hadn't been able to figure out what it did or was.]I must admit, I'm curious about what this is. Mordin, contact me when you see this and we'll discuss meeting so I

[Waaaait a minute.]

Altair?

[livethecreed]

Harry? You're here as well? [Holy hell it really is the entirety of the Underworld plus new people.]

[Video]

[hellsbellsharry]

Hells bells it is you.
[Harry is very very VERY glad to see you.]
How you doing, man?

[Video]

[livethecreed]

Fully clothed and not freezing thank Allah. That was definitely up there on the worst ways to wake up; in fact it may even be the worst. [He's glad as hell to see you too. He's been worrying about all those he'd meet in the Underworld and you're another he can strike of the list.]

Have you found anything out about this place?

[isanovice]

[ Oh for the love of- you're here too?

At least, he thinks it must be the other self he'd known in the Underworld. He had seen other posts over this device from others who had come from the same place. ]

Where are you? [ ALL OF THE JUDGING IN HIS TONE, AND HE LOOKS VERY SUSPICIOUS/CONFUSED/WHAT, OTHER SELF. JUST WHAT. ]

[livethecreed]

[The double take at his phone leaves Altaïr with a bit of a dumbfounded expression.

Was this? It couldn't be... but there were others here. Yet the other man had disappeared days ago from the Underworld. Could he really have been brought here too?]

Altaïr? But you disappeared days ago. [Have a hard look oh younger self.]

Prove it is you first. Tell me something that only you would know from the Underworld. [So not taking chances here.]

[isanovice]

[ Consider the hard look returned. Especially at having to prove himself, no less! It is insulting, and he huffs. ]

When I returned to the Underworld we spoke of a message from Hecate that I had miss.

It was a fruitless discussion. I hung up on you.

[ And he's considering doing it again. ]

[livethecreed]

[Sorry, but one can never be too careful. Plus! Now he knows that he isn't speaking to a different version of him.]

Something you did quite often. [It's not a criticism, mostly because he hung up on you too, but he changes the subject pretty quickly.]

Have you managed to find anything useful about this place? So far all I know is there don't appear to be any houses and our possessions are turning up in random locations for us all to find. [There's a brief pause as he works through what everyone else has told him] And Harry says there's something dangerous living on the trains that go by.

[His phone is propped up so he can see what's going on without actually holding it, mostly because he's busy taking apart a laptop, but he glances up when he hears his name. Mordin double takes when he sees what the man on the other end is holding.]

Not supposed to be. Was not aware personal items traveled here. Request meeting immediately. Will answer questions then.

[livethecreed]

[Please excuse him for a moment. He's never seen an alien before and looks like a moron might have a gobsmacked expression on his face. But he pulls it together after a minute; this isn't any worse than the giant blue furry he'd been rescued by when he'd arrived.]

Neither was I, and now I'm curious about what of mine is floating around the city. I am available to meet up now; do you have a spot you would prefer? Or would the clock tower suffice?

[Video-->Action]

[salarian_savant]

[You aren't the first, nor he imagines, the last that will stare at him like that. He's not entirely used to it, being from a time where salarians are rather well known but it's also not a problem.

You get abrupt, because he has stuff on there and while you may not be able to get on there thanks to his encryptions, someone else might come for it.]

Clock tower sufficient. Will arrive shortly.

[And with that, he's off! After, of course, tucking an amputation knife in his pocket.]

[Video --> Action]

[livethecreed]

I will see you there.

[Altaïr had noticed him grabbing the knife and feels a pang of unease. He doesn't have any weapons on him and the disadvantage isn't one he's used to. That said, the alien does look as if he'd be easy enough to disarm if it came to it and the unease is brushed aside for the moment.

Altaïr is already moving towards the tower. He's using the streets for once instead of the rooftops and so it takes slightly longer than it should for him to reach his destination. Turning the corner he shifts his view, taking comfort in the ability even as he searches for that tell-tale gold.]

Were you meant to be in a Make Up Boutique?

[livethecreed]

[You are officially not his favorite person. You just had to ask didn't you?]

Not exactly. I was searching the shops and buildings nearby, seeing if there was anything useful or any information laying around. I just didn't notice what the shop was until I was in. [He tries to pull off a careless shrug but a bit of embarrassment is obvious. He really should have just left.]

But I found personal belongings so it might be worth the teasing my family will torment me with.

[Story of her life 8c Give it time!

She's smiling openly, but doesn't seem too intent on teasing at this point] Strange, how these things just keep popping up. I've neither found anything nor had anything found for me yet, though, so I've had to find other means of entertainment. Such as making fun of strange men for their potential shopping habits! It's an exciting life I lead.

[livethecreed]

A sentiment I would agree with if it wasn't me you were making fun of. Luckily I'm a pretty good sport. But I probably should have just left out where I found the... thing. [This is him, using his brain late.]

[failssassin]

You know you could have just try and call for me instead of asking Ezio, right?

[Your not!son is offended you didn't search for him yourself.]

[livethecreed]

[Desmond! The relief that rushes through him is transmitted into a grin even as he speaks.]

This worked just as well. And in less time than I imagined. [Get over it Des. He figured you'd appreciate him waiting to find you till after he was clothed and no longer smelling like a morgue.]

[failssassin]

[Desmond rolls his eyes slightly at his 'father'. It figures that he'd be happy to see him here. And the novice has to admit that he's relieved to see the Syrian as well.]

It's kind of a given when you name someone over a network, no?

[In all honesty, it's nothing he hasn't already seen, thanks to the enchanted door of his bar back in the Underworld. But he's still grateful the Master Assassin is dressed up.]

I think there's more than just the people from the Underworld here. [A pause while he considers if he should tell Altaïr about this. And he probably should...] Lucy's here too.

[livethecreed]

[Yeah well, better here than the Underworld. Really Des, use the brain you have between your ears.]

One would think. But better to have someone looking as well.

[Oh that door. It caused such awkward moments.]

I had noticed that. The device I found belonged to an alien. And I've spoken to a few who weren't there already.

[But it's Desmond's next words that really caught his interest.] Lucy? From my world or from yours? Not that it really matters in the long run I suppose. [She's getting lectured either way. You may want to warn her Des.]
