[Charis is sitting on a stool inside her apartment, stirring a drink absentmindedly while looking at the tablet.]

Guess that's the third party I've heard about, huh? Evidently they only pop up to give us foreboding messages that make almost no sense. [ She clicks her fingers on the table and sighs. ] Speaking of that, anybody have any idea what

[He's not even sure how long he's been wandering around this strange place. And this device had done little to assist.

Well, until now.]

Charis! ...is this the place you ran off to?

Action;

[mistercape]

[In the spirit of her not running away again, he decides to cooperate.] I'll have something, sure.

Action;

[wasinnocent]

[She heads towards the living room cabinets where she keeps way too much alcohol, granted it's not fully stocked as some of the bottles are empty and just sitting in there.] Anything in particular you'd want?

Action;

[mistercape]

Nothing immediately comes to mind. [He crosses his arms.] May I have an answer to my question?

Action;

[wasinnocent]

[She grabs a bottle of wine for herself and heaves a sigh.] How about my explanation first.

Action;

[mistercape]

It's a very long story, but I suppose I could summarize thusly: an external force controlled my actions, prompting you to...attempt to stop me using very drastic means that ended with your death. You...were returned to life by an as yet unidentified third party I believe may be related to the same which manipulated me. You were not yourself, even as you...attempted several times to conceive a child. It would seem you were successful, and then you left. I've been looking for you ever since. [A short pause.] And now I've found you. [And then he smiles slightly.]

Re: Action;

[wasinnocent]

Y-you can't be--[She's just going to sit down. Sit down and take a really, really, long drink from this bottle of wine.] There's not enough alcohol here for this.

Action;

[mistercape]

[He frowns, moving over to her and placing a gentle hand on her shoulder.] May I have an answer now?

Action;

[wasinnocent]

[She flinches and jerks away.] No. I'm not. You're in the Underworld, Majestros. Greek mythological place that goes along with the stories humans made up. The last thing I remember from home involving you was me jumping off a roof ater you asked me to stay with the WildCats. [And you but that's not important.] I've been trapped here for more than three months, but supposedly it's like a limbo where time back home doesn't move.

Action;

[mistercape]

That...is the last thing you remember? [Great Khera.] MOre than three months? Here?

Action;

[wasinnocent]

Yeah...to both. [And she finishes that bottle. Which means she's getting up for another. Or something else. Maybe the vodka this time, it's stronger, right? Stronger's a good thing.]

Action;

[mistercape]

I...forgive me for my explanation. It...could have been more gentle.

Action;

[wasinnocent]

You think?

Action;

[mistercape]

[He smiles gently again.] But, we can still start anew. There's nothing stopping that.

Action;

[wasinnocent]

[She takes a really long drink, right out of the bottle, of the vodka she'd grabbed. A bitter laugh escaped her lips.] What's with the change of heart, Majestros? Suddenly I'm a not a horrible traitor and we're not on Khera so hey, we could have a chance!

Action;

[mistercape]

[His brow furrows at her attitude. That was new, and...strangely familiar, but he couldn't put his finger on it.] Because you've taught me what matters, Charis. You taught me that.
