*He floats in the air, and looks down*

Is that an entrance, or a failed threat?

@Shadow Dragon

It's...My gods...

*Quickly as it appeared a brief image in my hand flashed, in my haste ending the spell of scrying.*

Good gods, know I understand the standing military! Vinashay we haven't sprung a trap! We've potentially doomed this planet!

@Dark Cloud

And......that's bad?

[Dark Cloud]

<Snipped quote by Dark Cloud>

And......that's bad?

@Shadow Dragon

For me yes, quite bad indeed. But whatever we've done we should be prepared for a fight!

*I flick my wrist, hands glowing orange and suddenly my skeleton is surrounded by an aura of energy.*

If I were you, I'd be readying that scythe.

[Nimda]

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

I wouldn't say that's ever the case. More like you're living in a sci-fi movie of sorts.

@Audacious

I guess so. At least for right now, I’ve had my fill of sci-fi living. Maybe that’ll change someday.

@Dark Cloud

*Power gathers along the blade, the giant ruby in the head flaring red*

@Nimda

Maybe the IA isn’t perfect for you then. But the IA denizens of this universe I think don’t adopt the full-on sci-fi living anyway, I think. Not all do.

@Shadow Dragon

*Horrific creatures claw their way out of the magma pool, marred with misshapen flesh as if they were a cross between a kangaroo and a praying mantis—horribly sharp blades line their arms and modified bones align their vitals like exoskeletons*

[Galvanize]

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

*Raises an eyebrow*
They do. It's helped by the surrounding scenery.

@Audacious

It’s really pretty for sure.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

Do you think it’ll still be a good place to live after that?

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Just on a whim?

@Nimda

kinda, like it was time. Y’know?

@Audacious

I mean, this place seems normal enough. It’s a beach.

<Snipped quote by Audacious>

<Snipped quote by Nimda>

@Galvanize

I guess I get that. Time for something new.

@Galvanize

Do you have a similar preference for the type of home you prefer?

*With a grasping motion, magic pulls the creature to the ground as it's gravity is increased. It smashes into the ground. As if it's body cannot support it's mass from the weight of the gravitational pull.*

Stay back, beast! Can you speak, are you sapient?!

*Briefly a blue aura manifests below my jaw.*

That should do it, hold on a moment creature we should speak.

*My voice becomes understandable to it, and it's own alien speech understandable to us.*

@Nimda

Normal can be different depending on what you’re used to. But it’s good you think so, I suppose.
*Points*
There’s some full on houses further down. Unfortunately, I can’t show you inside anything. Unless you were into breaking and entering. Because I’m not.

@Dark Cloud

*As you speak, millions of its brethren climb their way out of the pit, razing the land with their sharpened, bony feet*

@Audacious

Are you saying you would make an exception if we were?

@Source

*He spins his scythe in a protective barrier, making a wall of deadly crimson energy. Anything that touches the ruby glow is turned to mincemeat in an instant*

@Source

Hm I see, vermin...Well I know what to do with pests.

*Suddenly as the creatures clawed their way to the surface so too do billions upon billions of skeletal remains be it men or beast the dead rise and claw their way to the surface. An army of the undead rush towards the creatures.*

You exterminate them in whichever way possible.

*Electricity blasts from my hands as I send bolts ricocheting through several of the creatures.*

@Nimda

Yeah, something new and on my own.

<Snipped quote by Galvanize>

Do you have a similar preference for the type of home you prefer?

@Audacious

I really don’t have much of a preference to be honest. Though, I will say this place is growing on me.
*looks at the sea*
I wonder how deep it goes.

@Galvanize

You’re not actually thinking of jumping in, right?

Call of the void, I guess.

@Dark Cloud

*Elephantine, serrated appendages burst from the earth and smash the army of undead into fragments of powder and bones—ballooned like a swollen, sharp hand in appearance, the beasts retract into their homes underground after each attack, leaving nothing but a pile of dirt indicating they were ever there*
