Right. Well, this isn't normal. My name is Dan Foster, and I do not belong here. Now, it seems like I am not the only one that's been put in this situation. So, would anyone mind telling me how I wound up here? And how I can get back?

Oh and one more thing. Might be a bit risky asking this here, but it's not like I've got much left to lose, eh? How safe is this place from the cult of Leviathan?

the gods have brought you here and you will return when they see fit to return you, dan foster.

The Gods? You're going to have to be a bit more specific. Which ones?

the all-father and all-mother, of course, and their families. we live in the stars now because they have chosen us.

i am astrid magnusdóttir. and it is understandable that you do not know. you are young and new here.

All right, Astrid. Any other Gods here? Anything else I should probably know?

there is a god of the oceans but he keeps to himself. i have not spoken to him even though his wife and my mother are friends.

i am sure there are plenty of things you should probably know, yes. you should know that you are amongst the stars now, and remember your gratitude if the gods do speak to you. if you are unable to prepare food for yourself, there is a place where others will provide for you. there are many empty dwellings here and you may choose one to live in. your belongings will appear once you have slept in the bed. my mother provides mead and ale and other drinks. there is no trade here, everything is free, but you must help everyone when required to do so.

Right... Well, cheers for the information. I've been around a few Gods before. I think I know how to act around them.

What about the cult of Leviathan? Has it reached here?

i do not know what that is, so i think it has not. is it dangerous?

do you fight against it, dan foster?

Me and what's left of my universe, yes. Gods, humans and everyone else in between, fighting side by side. For the most part.

That's good. Didn't think that would be possible.

Now I just need to find my way out of wherever I am now. I think I'm in a park?

[info]_astrid_

there are animals in the parks, you would do well to keep an eye and an ear open for them.

there are little houses in the parks that contain small rooms that move up and down. i do not like them but they are clever and they take you to different floors. if you find one and use it, you should look for the following rune.

[astrid sends him a picture of the symbol for the floor that Bad Things is on]

this is where my mother's bar is. talking is easier than using these boxes.

I haven’t heard anything about the cult you mention. But then, maybe they’re unlikely to be open about it. I’d recommend asking John Constantine. He’s pretty clued up about that sort of thing, and keeps his ear to the ground more than I do.

Thanks. It's good to know that it doesn't seem to have made it here at least.

I doubt that's a serious question. Still... fuck me, It's like a grim look into the future.

You are very young.

Anyway. I'm Bill.

I'm 25. Suppose that's fairly young. I should be dead but that's a long story.

All right, Bill. I'd say it's nice to meet you but this is a bit... weird. Right?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]bill_denbrough
2019-10-16 12:55 pm UTC (link)
Are we allowed to ask about the long story?

All of this is weird, but if you're talking about having a face-twin, it happens more than you'd think in this place.

[info]shagontap

You can ask. And if you want to ask, you can find me at the bar.

It does? Anything else I should be aware of?

(Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)


[info]bill_denbrough
2019-10-16 07:31 pm UTC (link)
The bar is a good place to be found.

Time travel, magic, spaceships, doors to other worlds, multiple versions of the same person, people who aren't strictly human, face-twins. And other things I'm forgetting right now.

Right. Sounds fairly normal... If you'd told me all of that a few years ago you might have gotten a very different reaction.

Have you been to a place like this before? Or is your life just completely fucking crazy anyway?

Not quite like this, no, but my world and I suppose universe was on the brink of falling.

Hello, Dan. It's a fairly common name, isn't it? Well maybe not out this far. Am I getting a nickname then?

I guess, although I think it's just the two of us out here. And you can if you want?

Where/when are you from?

Let's hold off on the nicknames for now then.

2017. I was in Edinburgh last but I'm from London. What about you?

I know there's a bit of this going around but you look like someone I knew as well. Maybe a bit older but... very similar.

Loon. He was the reincarnation of the Merlin, believe it or not.

King Arthur's Merlin?

Yeah. Same goes for Arthur. He had been reincarnated in the body of an American hacker.
