World Enough and Time
*A figure stands alone on a hill, overlooking the city. There's a lingering hint of magic in the air as she plays with some fine dust in her hands....*
This is where she disappeared... but I can't figure out when she disappeared to. Or why it affected Michiko the way it did... It seems I might need to take drastic measures to stabalize this world...
Ina
*a smol fox girl is walking near the hill* Wow..... I never realized how pretty the night was.... *notices the figure* Hm? Who's that?
Ah, hello there miss. Tell me, have you noticed anything... strange here today? Like mass arson, fighting superheroes, a man fighting little girls, or a time-traveling robot?
*Gamma stands at the foot of the hill, looking into the city. He's tossing and catching a chunk of ice, seemingly paying no attention to the others*
Ina
Umm, now that I think k about it, I have seen a few people shooting soda at others. Also a weird demonic child with a stick scythe hybrid. But that's about it.
I see.... well believe it or not, it was on this very hill that a woman named Shaigis vanished. Based on the runes that were left here, I believe she vanished.... into the past.
Ina
Shaigis.... I heard about her. But into the past? Let's see.... *she sits down, and it seems like she's staring off into space....*
The past, yes. I don't know when but... without her around I fear the Nexus is beginning to.... destabalize. It isn't merely drawing in more, but drawing in stranger things. And even causing damage to itself. I fear I may need to intervene.... just to keep this place alive.
Ina
*suddenly, a strange screen with a barrier made of small foxes appears* There! This should let us see into the past to find where shaigis went!
*Even though you try to peer into the past, you find a dark haze blocking your view, and what sounds like the laughter of a little girl echoes throughout it* "Now now, no peeking. This is between me and her."
Ina
What the...... We gotta find where she is.
*The tall woman smiles a bit at that* Even knowing where she is, unless she returns things will not get better. Hmm... had I not been introduced to so many of you through my daughter, I might have just left this world to its ultimate fate. But perhaps there is something I can do... *She closes her hands as the dust she was playing with begins to compress. Then she brings her hands together. When she opens them again, a small golden orb is in her hands.*
Ina
*looks at the orb* Oooh, shiny.
*Gamma notices the two on top by the orb's gleam, and chuckles* Well, looks like something's happening alright. *shrug* Likely doesn't concern me anyways. Let the kid have their fun
This is a world in its most infantile state. Nothing more than a core. It's small, and likely wouldn't be able to sustain a world like this forever, but it should work fine until Shaigis returns from the past. Or catches up to the present. And, should she decide to make this arrangement permanent.... well I do happen to know of another world with a failing core that could use a replacement. A strong and spirited replacement. *she grins and drops the orb, it falls to the ground with almost a water droplet sound. Though it never impacts the ground, and instead keeps going down through it. Leaving no hole, only a slight golden shine where it entered.* There, that should keep things sane here. And, honestly, if I were Shaigis I'd let that be this world's core for good. Watching this place is enough to make me question if intelligent life really is a good idea.
