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.

"Pi-- Dark Pit!"

The time he takes to correct himself is the time it takes for him to realize he can't run up and hug Dark Pit within an inch of his life. Well, he could, but Dark Pit wouldn't be happy about it. So he breathes out a sigh of relief and walks a bit closer.

"I'm glad you're okay!" Pause. "...you're okay, right?"

[stolemylook]

"Mostly."

Because he'd be lying if he said he was fine. Some of the things he saw in that Tower... His wings ruffled, a few black feathers flying off from the stress.

"I'm in one piece and I didn't die. That's about it."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Oh."

He was hoping Dark Pit had been sent someplace nice. That's what he would do, if he were a god with the power to rip people out from different worlds; after all, it was bad enough they were all here, away from home. And maybe that was just an elaborate way of saying Pit was just biased, concerned about Dark Pit, and didn't like the idea of him being sent to someplace bad for a month.

Pit's own wings ruffle a little as he contemplates what to say. Were it anyone else, he likely would have said the first thing that popped into his head without thinking about how sensitive it was. But he knew Dark Pit had a short fuse, and he didn't want to be pushed away when it seemed like he had just gone through something bad...

"Um...do you have to stay here?"

[stolemylook]

Dark Pit paused, glancing around at their surroundings.

"...I think they're making us stay here until they're sure we're all right," he explained, before making a face. "Or make sure we didn't bring anything with us."

Because... bringing something from that place over with them? Would have sucked, big time. He had no idea what happened that they were suddenly punted back to Hinoto-Ri, and something told him it was beyond even gods and goddesses.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"What was that place like?" His curiosity's gotten the better of him. "You don't have to answer if you don't want. If it was that bad... Is there anything I can do?"

[stolemylook]

Dark Pit was silent for a long moment, mulling it over in his head. After a moment, he made a face, unconsciously folding his arms over his chest.

"...it made the inside of Hades look like a vacation home."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"...that bad, huh?" He frowns, his wings drooping. "I'm happy you're back."

[stolemylook]

"Yeah," Dark Pit replied softly. "...that bad."

He was glad to be back too; if he ever ended up in a place like that again... No. Nope. He wasn't thinking about it.

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"What's the point of taking someone out of this world just to send them someplace bad? Unless they needed your help..."

But even then, since when did they become the savoir of every world ever? Not that he'd object, he'd just like some forewarning.

[stolemylook]

"I don't know," Dark Pit mumbled, putting a hand to his head. He had a headache, and he wanted to go to bed so much right now.

"Nothing there made any sense, though. It was like Pandora's Labyrinth in terms of weird."

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Great." His wings ruffle a little, and he averts his gaze--Dark Pit doesn't look too good. "Hopefully you can get out soon. It's cramped in here."

[stolemylook]

"Tell me about it," Dark Pit grumbled, trying to stretch his wings, only to bump into someone else.

"I wish I had something funny to tell you about my life, but I've been busy. I think my boss was with you guys, but...he hasn't come back yet."

[stolemylook]

Dark Pit raised an eyebrow at that. "Who's your boss?"

[gforceinmyfaaaace]

"Another angel named Gabriel. He doesn't have his wings out, so he looks like a normal human."

[stolemylook]

"I saw him the first day, but I don't remember seeing him after that," Dark Pit replied, remembering that annoying conversation.
