Very well... OOC: Woo! Managed to get this done tonight... mostly.... now time to sleep and maybe explain this better once I'm not 3/4 tired.

Some. Not all. But yes, worlds falling into darkness. There are many such causes, but most ultimately involve the complete corruption or destruction of a world's core. A topic I'm sure you're all familiar with. As for a savior, that isn't the right term for it. Maintainer, assistant, attendant, those are far better terms. In the end, the people who are saving worlds from darkness are people like you. To be quite honest, I thought Michiko had been lost forever. You see, your Nexus is.... a strange place. Its core is different, unnatural, as evidenced by its repeated attempts to collapse on itself.... not to mention that usurper God, Succoth-Benoth.

The Nexus is the world you came form. In a way, I suppose you could call it a scar on the multiverse. An unsustainable accident, expanding by consuming other worlds, before contracting when its core becomes unstable. Then.... it creates, or absorbs, a new core and the cycle begins again. And I want nothing from this.... well, perhaps I do want something. But that something is to continue to stave off the darkening of the multiverse. If, in a single day for the Nexus, one thousand worlds should fall, then ten thousand more shall be born.

The quickest exit would be back the way you came. *she indicates the doorway, which apparently would send you back to the Nexus..?* As for your other questions. I am Hoshiko, if you need a name for me. And you are in a place called the Stella Room. *she laughs softly* If I may borrow the mannerism of a certain long-nosed man for a moment, this room exists between reality and reality.

Velvet Room? I'm afraid not. That room exists between dream and reality, and I do mean what I say by this room existing between reality and reality. You are current within the ocean between worlds. Every star you see around you is another world *she looks out to her side, as a star blinks out, her expression becoming downcast* And every darkness, a world consumed in shadow and void... *she then looks at Brave* I'm not expecting you to understand. Normally, it is the policy of those who travel between worlds to not mention these facts. But given where you all came from, I imagine you're able to understand the multiverse somewhat.

I know a great deal. Considering my role here. I suppose to explain my relation to the one you call "Migrant," I should start with my own role. As I said, these stars are other worlds throughout the multiverse. Each star is a core, or a heart, however you would like to imagine it. I am one of many beings who creates these cores. I had actually just finished one when you arrived. The multiverse is continually expanding, so it must continue to be filled with new worlds. I create a core here, and cast it out into the ocean to take its place where it may. An to become whatever it may. Other beings might try to take a more active role in the worlds they create, but I'd rather keep my involvement at a minimum. However, as you saw, there is also Darkness in the multiverse. Swallowing any world in its path. To combat that, I created "attendants" if you will, using discarded pieces of worlds. Three of them, in fact. One of whom, Michiko, eventually became the person you call Migrant. OOC: Whee it's 3AM sorry if that came out weird.

Hmm.... a strange man, that one.... well, I suppose if that is it for the questions... I will keep Michiko here for now, until she wakes up at least.

*Inside is.... something of a room. Not well furnished, in fact it doesn't even have walls. The only thing of note is a single desk in the center, where a blonde-haired woman seems to be focusing on something. Upon noticing the intrusion, she stops working on that something, throwing a star-like object in a seemingly random direction, as it shoots off into the stary skies.... and becomes a star of its own....* Hm? Who are--- *She surveys the group, before her gaze stops on Migrant....*

*The mysterious woman just smiles when Migrant passes out* Oh dear, it seems you're not in the best of shape, are you dear.... *She sighs* I suppose it's that Succoth character's fault..... now, I believe someone was asking me a question?

Don't you worry about her, she'll be fine in a little bit. Now, I imagine you have questions, friends of Michiko. "What is this place?" "Who are you?" Well, if you have a moment I can answer those...
