[There is a confused redhead staring at the hologram trying to figure out exactly what had happened to him after the tower of Rem. He was currently leaning towards he must have died and this was apparently heaven or hell.]

Damnit...I guess I didn't survive that one....

[He rummages through his pocket to find the communication device that he woke up with and flips it around before figuring out how to turn it on]

Anyone out there?

[Nothing was more difficult than trying than trying to rouse from the sleep. A sleep brought on from intense emotional turmoil. A sleep as if her very life had escaped. A sleep filled with dreams of her surrounded by cat-like cubs pouncing on her, overlooked by a ferocious parent. A happy dream.

Arietta's grip weakly tightens, feeling the plush, comforting fabric of her fonic doll. Was she alive? Was she dead? She couldn't tell. She managed to weakly sit up. Something is on her lap? She managed to open her eyes to find the box.

One small question on her mind, "Who is it from?" She found necklace inside. How pretty. And a odd device. Some red papers? They look like money. It's not gald, for certain. Claiming the items, brochures included, she eases her way off the bed, or whatever this was, and out of the cave. Waking up in the cave wasn't the weirdest thing. It felt like home, but less foliage and monsters.

She was now awake enough to be aware of her surroundings. There was no such advanced city near the Cheagle Woods. The haze on her memory lifts... What is going on? Where are her friends? Largo? What about the duel with Anise? Clutching her doll tightly while holding on the items she found, she roams the city searching for her comrades, a forest with monsters, or any sort of clue. But to start, she tries to call for her monster friends...

...But nothing came... Arietta was all alone. Once more, everything was taken away from her.

She can't help but suspect that Anise is behind this. Anise is the origin of all her problems.]

"Largo? Where are you?"

Fayren Area

Jade arrived via the bay a few days ago. He taken up temporary residence at a local inn in Fayren. While his dislocation from his world is disorienting, he researched the library, scrolled through the network on his phone, asked important questions here and there for the answers.

Pretty much the colonel had done his homework as he researched the necessary information to his satisfaction. For now, he dines at a café for lunch, and it is time to introduce himself to the video feed:



"Good afternoon, citizens of Genessia. My, my what a very quaint world this! I am charmed by each and every one of you. The residents here have been very kind to me, as they explained everything to me. So if you like to introduce yourself, there's no need to orient me as I gotten much of everything down on my own. I'm quite a scientist myself, you see! *a laugh here*

Allow me to introduce myself: I am Colonel Jade Curtiss in the Third Division of the Malkuth Military at your service. I served the Emperor in the kingdom of Malkuth, and he happens to be good friend of mine. I wondered if anyone has seen Emperor Peony? If not, that's all right. I supposed he's back home, well protected. A little vacation away from the kingdom wouldn't hurt.

Pardon my semantics, as the definition of magic here differs from my world. I'm a spearman of the spear and a magic-user, though in my world, we call our magic techniques fonic artes. Fon being the basic element particle of my world, my planet of Auldrant.

That being said, I can cast my artes, my spells, with the following elements: Fire, Water, Wind, Earth, Dark, and Light. That's six elements we have. The 7th being Sound, but that element in my world is unstable and cannot be used by me.

The archways is the most fascinating fon...oh excuse me, that's magi-technology. I wonder what fuels them? Well, better to see that such technology aid the people!

Until then, you have a good day everyone, and if you're a magic-user yourself, why not come by and see me and you show me your techniques and I'll show you mine?"

What: Darkness Event
Who: Lucifer and Everyone (with your choice of NPC involvement)
Where: Genessia City (Four other cities and dimensions gates are excluded)
When: July 17, 2014
Warnings: Possible deaths. Horror. Flames. Darkness. Lightning. Falling Debris. People falling off buildings.

I

From the highest building of Genessia city emerged a dark and unwavering light. It lifted up into the heavens. It brought with it obsidian smoke swirling around the light as if a shroud of darkness. In an instant the bright skies lost its light. Thick black clouds descended from the heavens. They tossed, tumbled and seemingly kissed the city's skyline. It was noon and yet the sun was no where in sight. With all light, it stole all happiness from people who saw the dreaded skies.

Loud booms, sizzles and crackles were heard beyond the clouds - as if a prelude to the coming event. This lasted a while before everything became hauntingly silent. Nothing could be heard. Everything, from the ground to the skies were silenced.

Waiting.

Aching.

And finally welcoming.

The skies glowed eerily. Dark hues of crimson, azure and silver lined certain portions of the skies. Then a white light glowed. A light which ripped through the space between ground and skies, leaving a crisp sound in its wake. The lightning bolt was strong enough to make the very ground quake at its presence. After a moment of silence, similar bolts of lightning hit different areas of the city. Continuously. Relentlessly.

Following the thunderstorms, came a foul stench raining from the skies. It smelt like rotten eggs. Suffocating. It was Burning Sulfur. With the stench came black flaming orbs which plummeted wantonly on the buildings of Genessia City. It burned anything it could get its hands on.

The terrible weather continued for at least five minutes after it had started. Never softening. Just ending abruptly after it had left most of the city in flames.

II

Not too long after the skies started to brighten, after people assumed a crude state of sanity, an ominous circle of light emerged on top of Genessia Hospital. For a few seconds, there was nothing but silence. But slowly, the circle of light expanded its terrain. Soon, it was large enough to cover the entire medical building. But still it remained silent. For people who have affinity for arcane magic, they can sense the power flowing through the circle - an energy devoid of any positive light.

A minute after the circle first appeared, the land beneath it started to quake. Every pillar and every wall shivering and threatening to fall. Then, the same fire storm that was released around the city was concentrated to fall upon the hospital building. A barrage of obsidian flames fell to the building one after another. Never stopping until the building itself hasn't fallen. After the building has crumbled the flames slowly dwindled into the bright glow of scarlet flames.

((OOC: Each part here comes after each part from Lucifer's Video Feed. So Part I from the feed comes before Part I of the Log. Each section here will be divided to sections deemed appropriate for the event. Any further questions can be addressed from the ooc-community post or from this journal. Fights Lucifer will get into are limited due to ic (after his little show, it'll be too much if he can still fight a horde of people) and ooc reasons (basically too many fights will drive me bananas).))

Upon waking up, Raven was cursed with unexpected events. Well, maybe not that unexpected, but as the story went, this seemed less likely to happen. Wasn't he just being subdued by a monster? The elderly man didn't think he was dead, or if he was, it happened in the blink of an eye.

The feed would start as such:

"Oh how tragic! Ta be taken so suddenly ta a foreign land by my lonesome. Such cruel fate bestowed upon Ol' Raven."

Over the top melodrama. Check!

"Left with a simple allowance and encouraged ta take up a day job."

Raven was actually displeased with his situation. He was in the middle of some rather important affairs, and this detour proved troublesome. Were any of his friends here? It was hard to tell since he's only been conscious for about an hour.

"Say it ain't so!"

[Jade was rather calm for someone who’d just woken up from a cocoon in an entirely new world. He wasn’t confused, nor jumpy, nor any of the normal things one would expect. Instead he walked about with a smirk, adjusting his glasses periodically when he stumbles across something of interest. Before he’d even left the cocoon, he’d already scrolled through the feed on the video phone, read the pamphlet that was so kindly provided, and (somewhat grudgingly) even placed the necklace around his neck. He’d already taken a stroll around the city, studying the people, the landmarks, mostly keeping to himself unless he was called out.

To any passers by, it may look as if he’d been around for ages, simply by how at ease he appeared. However, this was simply a facade, in case anything in the city was hostile in nature. He had many questions, most earnestly about the necklaces. They were to prove he wasn’t a fake, hmm? Yet, he didn’t want to broadcast such sensitive inquiries all throughout the city, even though it did seem the one sure-fire away of communicating to as many residents as possible, and quickly, which could be useful. In fact, this could be a golden opportunity to gather more information about this place, but he didn’t like that fact that he wasn’t aware of who would be listening. After a silent moment, Jade ‘accidentally’ switched on the video recorder.]

Ahhh… I do wish they would include a map upon arrival. I’m so horribly lost. If only my sight was what it used to be… [Jade trailed off forlornly, but to anyone listening intently he didn’t sound concerned at all, and through the video feed he clearly didn’t look lost, lounging about on a bench in the park. He even had a bowl of steaming hot soup. And a drink. To go. Fancy that.]
