Who: Stephen & Zane What: Exploration When: After the demon portal Where: Outside the Reesyn Apartment, near the granite fields. Rating: TBD Status: Closed / Incomplete
Stephen was the first one out the door. He didn’t wait to hear any complaints from Marcus that they were leaving or to really tell any one that they were going in the first place. He could go if he damn well pleased and somebody needed to figure out where the hell they were. A location portal was not only dangerous but it was extremely difficult, which was why it had probably gone wrong in the first place. Stephen couldn’t really blame the guy for botching it by sending the entire apartment, especially when they’d barged in and distracted him and he’d been rather under-practiced to begin with. He didn’t think he would have been able to attempt such a thing, even with help. But the bastard could have at least talked it over with them first!
Anyway, location portals were difficult, especially in this instance because there was no telling the outcome of where the destination exactly ended up being. Liz could have been dead for all they knew- or some other plain of existence entirely... magic was a strange thing and it worked in mysterious ways. There was no telling what was outside. Somehow the mystery excited him. It was as if a touch of other-wordliness had entered his life again and he was anxious to feel it again. So, he took Zane along for the ride and she seemed ready and willing to explore it with him. Either that, or she was just as enamored with the “love birds” as he was. Some times Kali and Marcus with their cutsey little dog and their perfect little dream house was incredibly annoying. ...no he wasn’t jealous...
“Woah...” Steph spoke as soon as he walked out of the apartment he caught sight of the entire hallway of the fourth floor. There stood the other three apartments. “You gotta be shitting me...” he looked left and then right. “He didn’t just take our apartment...” he said walking to the end of the hallway and looking out a window the would have normally peered out onto the street below. It was now patches of grass before a vast landscape in the distance a forest of trees and snow capped mountains. “He took the whole damn building.” Opening the window, Stephen hung out his head and watched creatures gather, trolls, snails, things made of rock and other apartment dwellers gasping and hanging out their windows as well.
Pulling his head back in, Stephen turned to Zane with wide eyes. “Toto, I don’t think we’re in Kansas anymore.”
