It seems the flow of ideas has buried this one. No matter. It can wait.

Ansem appears at the drink machine through DARKNESS Ah what a nice hole in the sidewalk, just the right amount of DARKNESS! Ansem looks at the drink machine and the faded letters Huh...theres no letters DARKNESS except for an S...wait, I got an idea! Ansem inputs a word? B...T...L...Z..L...T...S...S...DARKNESS!

The machine clicks, and dispenses a slimy black liquid into a cup. The hole's edges begin to crack.

Ansem grabs the cup and inspects it Ah, perfect. My kind of drink! It has all the greatness of DARKNESS! He downs the drink while inspecting the cracks from the hole Well thats interesting. Hmm.... Ansem stomps on the cracks a bit Be free DARKNESS!

A motorcycle races across the street as the man on the bike notices the drink machine, drifting the bike onto a nearby spot he steps off it and takes off his helmet, looking at the machine for a second before going up to the keypad and typing in something Vroom Vroom The man would then stand back and wait for something to happen, flicking a lighter from his jacker

The drink would normally drive a person to insanity, but because this is Ansem, Seeker of DARKNESS, he feels refreshed by the DARKNESS in his body. The cracks widen, and parts of the sidewalk spiral down into the abyss. A large, yellow eye opens, staring up at Ansem. A metallic liquid is poured into a cup at the young man's command, widening the hole.

Ansem stares into the yellow eyes that lurk in the DARKNESS below Oh shit! Xehanort is that you? Or is it Xemnas? I can't really tell with the amount of DARKNESS down there! He squints looking into the eyes Well if it is one of you, get out of there! Seeking DARKNESS is my thing!

A man walks onto the scene, and tries something he'd been curious about for a long time. "Liquid Death."

"Rka?" The eye comes closer, and two other eyes open right next to it. A serpentine snout sticks out through the hole as it tries in vain to fit its massive head through. "Mrgrph!" Phillip gets a pure black cup, blacker than night itself. The motorcycle roars to life with a massive VROOM VROOM.

Phillip ponders over the stench of the cup. "Almost as appealing as Shotaro's coffee, not for me though!" Phillip dumps the cup onto the snake. He wanders off humming a tune. "Hmm hmm hmm Nobody's perfect..."

Ansem stares at the serpent Oh what the heck you are not Xehanort or Xemnas! Well hang on I'll get you out! Ansem does a stomp of DARKNESS hoping to open the hole

Danksuya is in complete shock of what has happened, literally confuddled by such a loud Vrooom Vroom, could it even be better than his own vroom? No! That's impossible! He then stares at the machine and speaks the only words he knows "..." Danksuya would then snap out of his daze and do a lighter flick to calm himself down, throwing on his helmet and hopping onto the bike and getting an idea, he then revs the engine and plunges into the hole

The sidewalk gives way, letting the head rise up... And get splashed by the liquid death. A very angry and pained three-eyed black snake screeches. It thrashes around, shattering the concrete and possibly making anyone stand too close fall into the icy darkness. Of course, there's Danksuya, who plunged into the hole itself. The icy air chills him to the bone, and only faint pinpricks of light can be seen at the bottom.

Ansem falls through the DARKNESS! Huh, well this is just an average friday night for me. He puts his arms behind his head and and relaxes as he falls

Now that the narrator has eaten... Ansem lands softly on something warm and scaly. Danksuya's lighter reveals that he's standing on a black, scaly surface. It shifts a little, bringing him closer to the red lights. They float around like embers.

Yep. Definitely scales. Three yellow eyes join the lights as the snake bends its head down. The lights spark a little on contact with the beast. "Shi... Fa... For... Forgive me. I am not used to your tongues." The snake speaks slowly, mulling over every word.

Danksuya seems confused at the snake, tiling his head to express this "..."

*Hibki walks up with his phone out* This is where the report mentioned isn’t it? Oh, well that’s a hole with a snake in it. *He opens up the demon summoning app and speaks through the translator* Hello, what are you doing here?

"You have a way with words, nix agn. Anyway, I am H'Drys." The snake's eyes blink, one by one. "I am just an observer at the moment, seeing life through the embers that come from the cracks of reality." A black tail taps a red light, and it bursts into an image of a city before fading. Even without the app, Hibki can understand the smooth voice echoing from the hole.

Nice to meet you H’Drys. Tell me, what do you think of this world, and have you done anything to interact with it other than this event today.

Ansems wakes up from a snooze he had while falling down Hmm, it seems I have fallen to the bottom of the DARKNESS and have landed on something, but what is it? Ansem looks what he is on top of

Ansem gets to witness the chat between some kid in a bunny hood and the big snake he landed on. How nice. H'Drys closes its three eyes. "I find its inhabitants... Interesting. I've just observed, maybe thrown in a few experiments such as Typhoeus. They're obsolete now, save for that machine up there."

Ansem stares at the snake You were the one lurking in DARKNESS, correct? Ansem then takes this chance to pet the snake on its head These scales are quite nice! Perfect to help you slither around through DARKNESS! You are quite a fascinating creature!

Sorry about all these questions, it’s just I have to determine the threat level of new entities. You seem good for now. Why don’t you tell me about your world?

"That is right, so agu. This body is meant for this void. As for you..." H'Drys's eyes snap open as it raises its head towards Hibki. "So few questions do not determine such a factor. And I am from no world."

Ansem continues to pet H'Drys Oh I like you. You are a perfect creature. And me and you share something. I come from no world either...only DARKNESS! Ansem's eyes glow with this mentioning of DARKNESS Oh and I guess we also share yellow eyes or something, anyway, you are neat!

Of course, it’s far too early to determine anything. So were you in direct control of Typheous or did he act on his own? And if you had any feelings for him I’m sorry about helping destroy him.

H'Drys purrs a little at the Seeker of DARKNESS's pets. It closes one of its eyes. "I have no sorrow for that project. Only disappointment, for I let him have free reign yet he failed horribly. However, my vending machine experiment has yielded better results, and opened this tear. Perhaps I'll have more test subjects in the future..."

What are the purpose of these tests, are we proving our worth to you or something?

The snake creature takes on an excited tone upon seeing its guest's interest. "I just threw Typhoeus into a crack in reality out of curiosity. From what I saw, he did rather well, even holding his own against a Persona-user that looked a lot like you... but he was dragged away to the Nexus. Yet as a being with some of my power, he was able to create beings of his own, although I gave a little nudge to the formation of certain ones. Back on topic, I'm just a curious being... although I may shift my tests to analyzing humans."

Ansem listens to the conversation going on as he pets H'Drys. He just thinks to himself, thinking about how cool of a pet H'Drys would make. I mean they both are one with DARKNESS so it fits. Ansem then focuses on the conversation again

Do you see yourself making a human form at some point so I can show you what there is to enjoy in our world.

"A human form... such an inferior creation couldn't house me." H'Drys huffs. "Even this being of shadow that strokes my scales is confined to such a weak form, although his body is still superior to yours. It's like putting a human being inside the body of an ant."

ooc: I must vanish for now

Hmm, that’s too bad. You seem like an interesting individual. For right now I’ll report that you aren’t causing any danger as of his moment but I’ll come back to talk some other day. *He closes the app and walks off thinking to himself*

Ansem nods Yes, this form is weak, but its all I have to seek DARKNESS with...plus I just look good. I have a being purely of DARKNESS as my body gaurd pretty much...but we are currently on no speaking terms. Of course this shape of being I'm in is pure DARKNESS as well so I do not mind. You just can't see it from the outside.
