Redi Domum

[stringmods]

Who: The missing visitors and you. Open to everyone.
Where: MAGI Labs
Summary: After being violently removed from the Tower of Animus, everyone is returned 'home'.
Warnings: None

There was a tight clench behind your navel, the sensation of something dragging you through the fabric of time and space itself... it was an unpleasant sensation, almost sickening. Those of Hinoto-Ri had vanished from the tower completely when the clock struck midnight from what had just happened, removed from that reality. It had happened with such abruptness that it was downright disorienting to observe. There was no chance for a hurried goodbye, no chance of even letting out a surprised scream...

Those of Hinoto-Ri were dragged back to their own world with very little grace, and for a dizzying and wild thirty seconds, they suffered from the sensation of thick tentacles grasping and yanking their bodies this way and that through a swirling blur of matter. Where were they going? What had caused this?

After those sickening moments that seemed to last far longer, they were unceremoniously shoved out of the Shining Trapezohedron in a stream of bright lights, and into what looked like a giant room filled with computer screens. At least it didn't appear to be the Mictlan, like when the other group had returned.

Pray that you weren't on the bottom of the pile...

Now there was a quiet hum, as an alarm went off. Lights shone brightly upon you as scientists outside were running scans to determine you weren't harmful from your trip. That left you time to think.

You had finally met him...

Nyarlathotep, the Crawling Chaos. He'd taunted some of you, shown you another world you had been sent to save...but in the end, nothing much had changed. Perhaps there was small solace that it was still standing and not completely obliterated as had been his plan. The questioned remained, however...

Where was He now? ...you could figure that out later. There were reunions to be had first.

[Since they had been little, and she remembers that well... Back when they found out why she'd been so terrified of her water-based shotlock before the Master suggested a way of modifying it. Back when nightmares of that night still haunted her dreams like one of fire haunted his. She had long-since overcome the fear, sure... but back then...

She doesn't mind however long it takes him to get over the shock that is her breaking down in a strange mix of relief, survivor's remorse, and guilt for not being able to keep yet another promise. What they'd seen... hadn't nearly been as painful as that.

It's barely audible when she admits it, but:] It isn't me I'm worried about.

[Nothing about her own fate could make her break down like this. It was her duty as a Keyblade Master to protect the worlds, even if it painted a big red X on her back in doing so. That was her charge, and she...

She keeps her voice low as she speaks, in case there were others too traumatized to speak--like Kairi.]

...We were taken to another place called the Tower of Animus in pursuit of Nyarlathotep, the crawling chaos, and... [She pauses, letting go enough to look him in the face.] There were... so many others there. People we know, some that we miss... some who do and don't remember those in our care. Even ourselves from different situations.

They're being tortured by their captors, Terra. I can't even begin to describe it... but it was like listening to a child with free reign in a toy store the way He went on about it when he showed himself. Kairi... got the worst of it of the three of us.

[...Uh oh. There was her far-too-justified anger and concern.]
