[quote=@rush99999] "When it comes to who we are, you may think of us as the Reader, the Writer, and the Reveler." Luka spoke, gesturing to the respective owners of the pseudonyms as he introduced each of them. "As for why we have Eidolons, like the Writer said before, we died in an alternate timeline as a result of an explosion you caused. On our way to the afterlife though, a Shade intercepted us and offered a mulligan with the added bonus of also having Eidolons this time around." [/quote] Simonsen's gaze locks on to Luka. He narrows his eyes; that might be out of suspicion, but he could also just be shielding them against the dazzling light that hides the Reveler's face. "An alternate timeline? And you got your powers from a Shade? Who brought you back to life? I've never heard of a Shade having that kind of ability. Hell, I've never heard of anyone having that much power." He chews on his lip, and you can hear the gears turning in his head (with flakes of rust coming off, and squealing with protest, but they're turning nonetheless). Until that train of thought is violently derailed by the spectacular arrival of the Crow. Simonsen takes an instinctive step back as [i]something[/i] flies through the diner window; as it crossed the threshold, its colors change in the same radical way as everything else inside the diner before it lands behind the counter. He stares at the preening bird with a slack expression as it speaks. [quote=@XxFellsingxX] "And I am the Crow!" he said, adding onto Luka's introduction. "Pleased to make your acquaintance, man who works on behalf of fields..." He paused, tilting his head to the side as he considered something. "Or... maybe [i]not[/i] pleased to make your acquaintance? I'm actually not sure what's going on right now." [/quote] A pause. "Ok, I think you're all fucking with me," he says. "I've never seen this many all in one place, but it makes a lot more sense that you're Shades trying to fool me than it does for you to be people I killed in... another timeline? Thought that doesn't explain the rainbow shit..." His tone is mild; his eyes, however, are no longer on the four of you. Instead, he seems to be looking around the diner for something. Is it an explanation for what he's seeing? A way out? Or is he looking for something to even the odds?
