I - this is - [ Very clean. Very strange. Very frightening. But that he knows how to use this contraption must mean he is meant to be here.

He stops in front of the large windows. ]

Is this the realm of the Gods?

Where are my daughters?

[ She assumes that whether or not this is a place of the gods (to which she would answer "no," but only because her gods wouldn't be caught dead in a large metal contraption like this) comes second to his other concern. ]

They likely aren't here. I'm sorry.

[treasureling]

[ His eyes snap to the video screen. ]

But where.

[ They don't have to be with him, they just have to be not kidnapped. They just have to be home, with their mothers. ]

video

[amarant]

Wherever they were last, I'd think.

video

[treasureling]

Really?

But they were with me.

video

[amarant]

Well...where were you?

video

[devilsinthedetails]

[Yeah sorry man, you're getting demon form instead of human form.]

This isn't the realm of any gods. It's space.

And your daughters are where you left them, unless you see them nearby.

[treasureling]

[ Sorry, no flinch. He's assuming you painted yourself for some reason???

Malak gives a sharp nod. ]

Good.

...a space of what?

video

[devilsinthedetails]

[He will soon learn otherwise. Until then, Cole's going to be his level of helpful (read: barely)]

Outer space. The final frontier. That place where all the stars are.

video

[treasureling]

The. Sky?

video

[devilsinthedetails]

Above the sky. So far away from the ground there isn't even air.

[well, some text appears on the screen of his device, in a little message window.]

your daughters are safe, but you have been taken far from home.

[treasureling]

Are you the one who brought me here?

text

[theboogieman]

[finally, someone talking about gods. it's reassuring, in a way.

so, some nearby video monitor has the face of an absurdly pretty man with absurdly lavender eyes smiling out.]

If the gods can reach this place, they are making themselves very scarce.

video

[treasureling]

I don't know if that's reassuring or not.

video

[heresyandlace]

It's not. [he's sure of that much.] It's just a fact.

You are now somewhere entirely outside of your world-- gods included.

At least as much as I've been able to gather so far.

video

[treasureling]

[ For some reason, other worlds are easier for him to take than even news of other nations, at home. It feels like it fits, slots into some information that he didn't really know that he had. ]

How long have you been here?

video

[heresyandlace]

Since the beginning of this little trip. Four months, give or take.

If you have any questions, I can share what little information I've gathered thus far.

[because Tek is the best welcoming committee.]

Video

[alwayscomeback]

No, just really tacky hosts.

Pretty sure your daughters aren't here, but what are their names? If they've passed though, I might have come across them.

Video

[treasureling]

Brinna, and Viere. Brinna is nine years old, and Viere is four.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

Oh. Sorry, I haven't heard of anyone that young brought onto the Fleet, yet.

Video

[treasureling]

Good.

Video

[alwayscomeback]

...Yeah, no one wants to be stuck here.

But I hear that time stops, back home. So they won't even know you're gone.
