Narrative/Video

[higitus_figitus]

It had been far too long now. Over five days since he had last heard anything from The Dreamfinder. His own magics had shown that the man was not even in Main Street! An enormous danger to all of them but more so to Blair himself. As it was, even the Mirror Portal had begun to malfunction without it's builder to maintain it.

A quiet inquiry had been sent out through the Land, to be on the look out for The Dreamfinder. Any news was to be sent straight to Merlin or Hades...none had come. Which was why he now sat at his table, staring at his own small communication mirror.

There was evidence of the old walkway to Tiki Oasis having been used. No one had used it since the Oasis had become the Dark Jungles. Whatever survivors having been the last ones through ages ago. It was a rather long shot but, Merlin had nothing else to go on.

[The video turns on to show a very grumpy looking Merlin.]

I am calling all Sorcerer's Apprentices that are currently with in the Magic Kingdoms. I am afraid I have rather worrisome news.

[He rubs the bridge of his nose.]

It seems that The Dreamfinder, has gone missing. I am assuming it has been of his own power but, as he is still a new Kingdom Spirit, and the last Kingdom Spirit, I am afraid he will find himself in great danger.

So I am asking for volunteers. I need to send you out into the Dark Jungles to find the Dreamfinder or else the last beat of imagination this place has will be snuffed out and everything we have been working towards will be destroyed.

[His voice grew far more grim.]

That includes your own worlds. If The Corrosion destroys Main Street, then there is nothing left between it and your worlds. And...once it leaves the Kingdoms- it can not be stopped. If you wish to volunteer please, let me know.

The fate of Imagination is in your hands, Apprentices. Do with that, what you will.

Yeeeaaah that's not the same thing. I think he said something about a burning ladle and every atom being put on a different sun...

[serpentinthegarden]

His retirement package. Yea, he mentioned that to me too. Sounds pretty final...

[az_shrimp_horny]

Yeah, right? He had a giant existential crisis the first time he realized that. It was not pretty.

[serpentinthegarden]

Who wouldn't have? Doesn't sound the least bit pleasant.

[az_shrimp_horny]

Yeah... It's just a pain in the ass when we're trying to fly under the radar and keep all of us from going through that.

[serpentinthegarden]

It's not real subtle, no.

[az_shrimp_horny]

So, tell me demon boy what's your take on this place?

[serpentinthegarden]

It's a very boring small town, no night life,at all... And I haven't seen a hint of this corrosion we're meant to be fighting. I wonder if anything they are telling us is the truth.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She groans] Ugh that sucks! And thank you! It's good to know at least one other person here isn't just blindly following this shit. It sounds crazy, right?

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Have one deep demonic eyeroll at the thank you. ]

Ughhh... Don't thank me! The last thing I need is to be thanked by a human!

[ But even with that said... It did sound crazy. ]

Right now it is only a story. They haven't proved any of this will help our world back home.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[Oh thank you so much for telling her precisely what it was that bothered you so, Crowley. She makes a mental note for future antagonistic purposes.]

See, that's what I mean! It's just a story. How the fuck do we know any of this shit is even real?!

[serpentinthegarden]

[ Blissfully unaware is speaking to a troll. ]

We don't. We're just supposed to trust our kidnappers. Have to be pretty naive to take them at their word.

[ Aziraphale had bought into it hook, line, and sinker. Angels... ]

[az_shrimp_horny]

[One of the best trolls to come out of Arizona.]

Kidnappers is right. "Recruited." Yeah sure, and I'm really a C cup. I'm not believing jack shit until I see it myself. I've been lied to and fucked with enough since I died.

[serpentinthegarden]

Ah, that was it!

[ Like a light bulb he suddenly remembers where he heard the name before. ]

Micheal kept mentioning you. He said a few other names too... can't remember what they were, but you. He has mentioned you more than once.

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She groans.]

What, did he tell everyone about me?! What did he say this time?

[serpentinthegarden]

I don't remember... I wasn't really paying attention.

I think it was something like you were loud and bossy.

[ Not an entirely accurate translation of events. It had been more along the lines of Micheal being impressed by her human never-give-up attitude, almost starstruck by her really.]

[az_shrimp_horny]

[She shrugs]

Well he's not wrong.

[Hey, she's not going to deny it! She'd actually be more surprised if he told her what he really said.]

Still... it's so fucking weird to come to this new place and have almost everyone be like "Oh, Eleanor! you're the one Michael's been talking about!" Usually when people hear about me they take it as a warning and run the other way...

[serpentinthegarden]

Might have been because you were dead?
