∅ 001 [ video ]

[adnihilum]

[ The video feed flickers on to show a young man dressed in white and blue. The background seems to be a town - probably New Bark Town, judging from the buildings. (He's sitting a little too far away from the screen, with his hands on his lap in a rather formal posture.)

The youth squints slightly for a moment, though a good fifteen seconds pass before he says anything. ]

... Hello. I hope this is transmitting properly? [ His voice is surprisingly quiet, just loud enough for the viewer to hear.

There is another pause before he continues. ] I wish to ask if anyone here knows of the Eastern Kingdom of Mikado, or Tokyo. 'Tis my homeland, and there may be others who ended up here...

[ He looks away from the screen briefly before returning his attention to the screen. ]

... I suppose it is customary to give my name alongside such a request. I am Flynn. I believe this device is able to receive incoming calls...? [ Pause. ] Yes. It does.

Please contact me here if you have any news. Thank you.

[ Flynn bows slightly to the viewer before the feed cuts to black. ]

Something like that.

[ The smirk, if it was even there, vanishes. ]

Angels follow God. Demons follow their lord, Lucifer. They had a war over and using humans.

It didn't end.

[foolishwren]

Hm. Well, that's one difference, I suppose. _{[Heather doesn't know just how many gods are out here in her world. Surely more than just the one she killed. But she knows that it and the devil are more or less synonymous.]}

Sounds like a real drag.

_{[Understatement of the millennium.]}

[adnihilum]

Mm.

[ His expression doesn't betray the slightest hint of emotion towards what he has just said. ]

And what of your world?

[foolishwren]

Eh.

It's still kickin'.

_{[And most of it would never know how close it kept coming to ending.]}

No thanks to the demons and angels, though.

[adnihilum]

[ Not bad, then. ]

Are they fighting?

[foolishwren]

Two names for the same thing. So no, I guess they're not fighting.

<sub>[Fighting her, and people like her, she supposed. But not each other.]

[God is the Devil, and Her angels are mutilated, twitching things that spin gears and crawl across ceilings. And Heather hates all of it.]</sub>

[adnihilum]

Then?

[ He expects her to elaborate. He's already given his own ]

[foolishwren]

_{[There's a long pause. It's... a weird thing to explain to a stranger.]}

... They just want God to be reborn.

When-- if that were to happen...

Well.

G'bye, world. Nice knowin' ya.

[adnihilum]

[ Most curious. Even though that was not the angels' ultimate goal, their vision for the future would effectively mean the end of the world for humans. Living like puppets... that was a fate worse than death, for sure. ]

And you're fighting to stop that, yes?

Very valiant of you.

[foolishwren]

Well, I didn't have much of a choice.

text;

[adnihilum]

You're still fighting.

That's commendable.

[ He's done with that, though. Both God and Lucifer are dead. ]

Whoops, did they switch to text at some point? I thought this was a video convo.

[foolishwren]

I guess.

It was that or die horribly and bring on the apocalypse in the act of doing so.

But hey, just being a Good Samaritan.

nah Flynn just swapped to text, he can't hold a long video convo since it's kind of taxing

[adnihilum]

Good luck.

[ There isn't much he has to say at this point. ]
