So here's the thing… We have a lot of work left to do. Those of you who ventured down below got a taste of what we're looking at and hopefully that means we can make better preparations. I'm working on opening a new portal based on your energy readings and getting it to stabilize itself so you aren't stuck down there longer than you have to be. May take a few days, but I'm hoping to get a map drawn up, too. How many of you have been out to Magatus? You might wanna compare notes…the influence started spreading even further. It's better to bring everything and everyone out there back to the city where we can put up forcefields and I can monitor from here. So what am I saying? I need two teams, a rescue team and an exploration team. Take some time to decide, figure out your skills, organize and arm yourselves. Assignments will go out when you're ready, and when I'm ready. Oh yeah…and if you're interested in working for me directly? Send me your résumé.

Any is fine for me, as long as I know you’re coming.

Okay then, day after tommorow?

[brushy]

The day after tomorrow 👋

Two days later

[Since then, there may have been some whispers on the street that Al might have been knife version of a fight club. Or joined some shady fire cult worshiping an eye, hell, even going down in a blaze of glory against police to protect someone he loved.

The stories usually end with Al dying in some manner or another.

Al is in his normal human form, unlike the last time he visited and knocked on the front door. One of his hands has a glove on it, that is clearly a bit big for him. He also has his backpack on him, with some gifts he intends to give her]

[ come in come in, she says softly, but loud enough to hear her door being knocked as she waters her flowers.

what strange stories she hears on the street. ]

[flametheif40]

[Al goes through the door, and although he takes one of his gloves off, the one that is too big for him, he keeps on. He smiles when he sees her, as a human, watering her flowers. His hand itches but, he rather not freak her out in the first few seconds of visiting her.]

Heelllooo, how have you been?

[AL say warmly, even if his gloved hands feels itching]

[brushy]

Heavenly!

[ it’s almost an inside joke to herself, but she grins at it anyway. she would ask the same thing, and then looks at him. considers, tilts her head. hmm. ]

Are your gloves mismatched?

[flametheif40]

That obvious?

[With a sigh carefully takes the glove out...and there is an eye at the back of his hand blinking with irritation and looking around.]

I was trying to hide this guy here.

[brushy]

[ she doesn’t quite see it at first and thinks of a rash. that is, until she squints and approaches and

gasps ]

What on earth— is that, boy?

[ the floating eyeballs from last month makes her worry. HAS HE BEEN CURSED ]

[flametheif40]

I wish I knew, I woke up yesterday, hand itched, then I found this little bastard and freaked out. I had to pretend I had a nightmare.
