To make a very, very long story short, some people screwed up, the Devil - yes, THE FREAKIN' DEVIL - crawled out of his box in Hell, and now the world is kind of in Time to End mode. A rather unfortunate side effect to the whole angry archangel taking out his daddy issues on humanity dealio? Is that there's a magical thingy that broke that sucks people in and out from different points in time and place. And by place, I mean different universes. Think Baba Yaga, but on SUCH a bigger scale.
Ha. And they say you can't teach an old dog new tricks.
No. Me and Vex are good. Where...are you from, exactly?
