@ZAVAZggg Jesse smirked “Well I appreciate your cooperation. But where will I find this cult and what do they have to do with us finding Morty?”

"I don't know, that's why I've been asking. Do try to pay more attention will you?"

Zyx sighed.

"As for Morty, nothing. Not specifically anyway. They're trying to bring back their highly murderouderous, literally unkillable, time controlling god, so it really has to do with everyone. Unless you like the idea of being either killed or enslaved that is."

@ZAVAZggg@dark cloud “Well we’re going to need some details.” Jesse said “Can you show us or describe any symbols this cult uses? Do they have a uniform? What weapons do they use? Also, if they’re bullet dodging assholes like you we need to know some trick to beating them.” Jesse had never seen anyone move as fast as Zyx.

"Fine," he sighs "*belches* Let's get this shit over with." Rick says standing up from his chair.

"They prefer to blend in," he said. "Annoyingly so. They do have one symbol though. Angular looking thing, almost like a Nordic rune."

"It-it could be anyth*belches*-thing who fucking cares, let's go." Rick crossed his arms and tapped his foot impatiently.

"Agreed. Better we find them sooner rather than later."

Zyx motioned to Duma, which caused her to morph back into a ring that he promptly slipped onto the ring finger of his left hand. Standing, he strode towards the door, adjusting his sheath as he went.

@ZAVAZggg@Dark Cloud Jesse recalled every Nordic rune he remembered from the books he had read. There were few still intact where he was from, but he read parts about medieval Europe and the Norse in particular voraciously.

He was mildly annoyed by Rick’s impatience when they had so few leads, but he had met much more difficult characters in Culrud. When he saw a woman turn into a ring, he paused in astonishment, but remembered Zyx didn’t like answering questions. He turned to Rick.

“Are they gods?”

"If by that you mean omnipotent beings then s-*belches*-sure, but if you mean gods as in the ones you pray to for shit then no. But y-you can say they're gods, yeah." Rick shrugged turning back to Zyx "Kinky y-your uh girlfriend is a ring? H-*belches*-ot, you get to finger her in public!" he nudged Jesse with his elbow "Fingers get it? uhahahaha!" Rick laughed.

@Dark Cloud@ZAVAZggg Despite how disconnected Jesse seemed, he totally understood the joke and let out an equally amused laugh, not even thinking about Zyx being a god. He believed in gods, but didn’t like them. Zyx’ behavior didn’t help either.

“Alright man we have some cultists to catch.” He said, still smirking “He says they can be anywhere. I bet there’s at least one in this shop.”

"Perhaps," Zyx said, pausing to scan the room. "Though if there is, they're playing things very cool."

"Uhuhu! Yes, yes, yes!”

Rising to his full, not-so-glorious height, the gentleman scientist wiped some sweat from his forehead and beamed at his finished creations! The corners of his lips threw fits before spreading into a freakishly large grin! Ear-to-ear and all teeth!

Right in front of him sat a huge doorway made of wood, metal scraps, and chunks of marble! And hooked up to it was a good ol’ bolt-shaped lightning rod in all of its golden glory! After months of bleeding, sweating, and crying -- all those days of listening to the other survivors’ lacking beliefs and jeers -- He, Wilson P. Higgsbury, had finally made the gateway! Their gateway to freedom! Oh, if only the others could see it! Right here and now! He… He probably should’ve built these closer to camp instead of tucking it a tad far away, deep within a dark forest…

“I could’ve taken a bit more of their ridiculing,” The scientist sighed to himself while slipping his bag back on. “Would’ve saved me from the blasted trip back to fetch them.” Wilson then gave the door’s frame a light pat-pat-pat as his grin softened. “Can’t fix that now, can we, Mr. Wayout~?” Tittering to himself, he’d swivel on his heels and began to stroll towards his camp. “I’ll be right back! We need Ms. Wickerbottom’s help to power you up and--”

Before he could even finish, there came a flash of light, accompanied by crackles and rumbles… Both of which were quickly followed by some soft buzzing. Wilson froze mid-step, his hidden eyes opening wide behind their goggles. He’d turn ever-so-slowly, with his look of shock eventually morphing into that of delight! “S-stars and atoms,” He whispered while clasping his hands together and trembling with glee.

It was a miracle! Lightning had struck out of the blue, without a single hint of foul weather, snatched by the rod and… That’s when the door slowly opened, revealing a glorious swirling portal within. I-it’s working! It’s working!

The forest’s peace was no more, immediately disturbed by the scientist’s sharp cackles and excited cries!

He’d jump! He’d twirl! He’d circle his special door like a bubbly dog bouncing around its favorite toy! This would’ve carried on for a while longer if the clumsy oaf hadn’t tripped… And toppled right into the damn portal.

---

Murmurs, honking, things rushing by… Wilson twitched where he laid, his gloved fingers gently scraping at the ground. W-wait! What happened to the grass!? With that thought, he’d slowly reopen his eyes, shifting just enough to see whatever’s above him and…

Oh, he definitely wasn’t in The Constant anymore… Or maybe he was? In a much more populated space? Damn it, he couldn’t see anything passed the giants folks gawking down at him!

“Wh-where am I?” His voice was raspy and soft, barely audible over the concern of a gathering crowd. How could they not be worried or curious after witnessing a little elf-sized man falling from the sky, surviving with only a few scrapes and lopsided goggles? Thank the stars above that he hadn’t fallen on anyone too!

@ZAVAZggg@Dark Cloud Jesse noticed the sudden storm. It had been a clear day up to the point Merlin cast his spell. He looked at Rick.

“There’s a lead.” He said, heading outside and noticing how the storm swirled around the top of the tallest skyscraper. It was a beautiful building to him. He had never seen such a structure that wasn’t in ruins. This was no time to gawk, however.

“Come on.” He said to Rick as he started running to the building.

Zyx laid a hand on the pommel of his sword before running after him.

@Kenshi When the elevator doors opened, there was a crew of corporate suits gawking at Elvis. The suits looked around at each other as if to ask one another what was going on, but nobody had an answer.

"Yeah. You ain't nothing but a hound dog." Said one guy happily "I guess the new management has a sense of humor anyway."

The scientist slowly rose to his feet, his gaze darting between the few people voicing their worries with ‘are you okay?’ and ‘what the hell happened?’ Tall! So tall! They were making Higgsbury nervous! Not only with their heights, but Wilson was just not a fellow who enjoyed being surrounded by so many strangers.

“P-pardon me!” Nudging his way between some citizens’ legs, Higgsbury would glance up again to be struck with another round of shock. The folks around here were huge, but their structures -- they were absolute skyscrapers! Especially compared to what he’d been used to (Well, honestly, some didn’t seem all too different).

But one in particular eventually caught his eyes, for it was most-definitely a tower that pierced the heavens! And said heavens didn’t seem too happy about it, brewing what appeared to be a storm.

Wilson could only stare a moment longer, feeling something not quite right about it. A tad strange, sorta like the random bolt that struck his lightning rod back in the forest. Were they connected, by some chance? Maybe somewhere within those rumbling clouds was his way back? He fell from the sky, right? So even if the chance was low, it wouldn’t hurt to have a closer look-see. He just needed to catch a glimpse of his portal and find a way to hop right back in. If he was truly free from that blasted realm, he didn’t want to leave his ragtag family behind!

And so, Wilson made a mad dash towards the cloud-attracting building, leaving the clueless crowd behind.

@ZAVAZggg@Dark Cloud "Oh. You comin too?" Jesse asked Zyx rhetorically, but continued to the building "This is the place."

He went up to the entrance but was stopped at the door.

"No. No no no. This ain't the homeless shelter." Said one of the guards. Jesse responded by breaking the guard's arm and kicking his teeth in.

"Hey daddy." Elvis says,pointing gun fingers at the guy who said it.
"You fellas tell me where I am at?"
"Help the King out, and I'll buy the first round daddy."
