[A (surprisingly cheerful) man shows up on the video screen, and although it's safe to assume he's somewhere around the current area, it's impossible to where.]

Well, well. It's been a while, hasn't it? Welcome to Niflheim, I was sure I'd saw the last of you all with the city collapse. [He laughs.] My mistake, though

The dead make a poor audience.

voice.

[absolute_npc]

Do you think so?

I was rather afraid of that.

[tridented]

There are ways around it, of course.

voice.

[absolute_npc]

Oh? [He sounds interested. Probably because he is.]

[pyrrhous]

Chances are, you're not going to hear from all of us. Why don't you get to the point.

[absolute_npc]

[Why are these people such bitches. They won't even introduce themselves GOD >:X]

And what point would that be? You haven't even explained yourselves, yet.

[pyrrhous]

You said you had your suspicions-meaning you know better than most of us what's going on. Stop beating around the bush.

[absolute_npc]

Now, now, you're taking it the wrong way. You all have suspicions, too, don't you? You seem suspicious that I already know, but why would I bother asking you all what happened if it wasn't new information?

All I know is that you are currently in the realm of the dead and that is certainly not normal.

[it_was_the_best]

I'm the Doctor.

I'm sorry, did you say Cthulhu?

[Wouldn't be a first god, would be god, thought they were a god - whatever- he's met.]

[absolute_npc]

[A huge sigh of relief comes from his end.] Finally, someone with manners. It's a pleasure to meet you!

That I did. I don't believe we've met before, however. ...Or have we?

[it_was_the_best]

It's. Always possible? Time travel, can't keep it straight. And apparently I was here before. Subjectively from my perspective before, I mean. But I don't remember.

[absolute_npc]

Ah, your name is unfamiliar, so perhaps not. Alas, I have been rather busy lately, no time for friendly chat with all you newcomers.

Care to tell me your experience that landed you here?

[purpletaint]

[ ...Cthulhu. Honestly. Was that to be believed or did this one simply lack originality? ]

...The "green, sticky spawn of the stars," the thing that cannot be described except as the face of horror exists as...? A blue-eyed bright man?

[ Dryly: ] Forgive me my doubt.

[absolute_npc]

[Originality only can take you so far X(]

[He laughs.]

Perhaps in my true form that description may be a little more accurate.

[purpletaint]

[ The laughter is a bit welcome--if this one had taken himself so seriously as to take offense, Albedo would have invalidated him as a liar and left the scenario. However, now... ]

Hmm?~ Is that something you show to others, or only in private, personal endeavors?

[absolute_npc]

Oh, I've shown myself a few times in the city of Nuadoria. You must be quite new.

It's a terribly difficult form to have when trying to be diplomatic to individuals, such as yourselves, however.

Don't you think?

[He's beginning to (although probably has, for a while now) really loathe you cheerful ones, in this place.]

Yeah. Who was she?

audio;

[absolute_npc]

I have no clue, I didn't see firsthand what some of you are describing.

Did you not recognize her? I do suppose trying to tell who it might be is a little difficult when she's charging you with an intent to kill.

From someone's previous description it seems you have experienced a memory from another as if it were your own.

[a pause.]

audio;

[instrumented]

I didn't. [He's correct, in that regard. However, Zero was also already beyond weak and injured when seeing that woman.

A beat-] You didn't witness firsthand, but you could tell her intentions. Why did she have that approach?

And apparently we all have, although it's nothing surprising. That isn't anything new in this damn place.

audio;

[absolute_npc]

Ah, now that would be a question to ask her brother.
