The look he gave her was a very apologetic one. "It comes with both the powers and where I got them unfortunately... However, like I said before, you don't NEED to know the exact details. I'm gonna be doing my best to make sure it never comes to pass again. I have family here after all, and I've been making a lot of new friends." He gets up from his chair and starts pacing around the room. "But let's get back on topic, since I want to be sure on a few things... Does anyone know where the Black Fog comes from? What it is exactly?"
If what he was thinking was true, he knew the exact cause. However if other people had their theories then it would be good to hear the other opinions and get as much data as possible. He knew one of the possible sources of this great power, but approaching her would've been difficult. That magic user was usually not fond of any sort of company at all. Even worse, she knew magic spells that could incapacitate even gods themselves.
Hopefully that woman would be a last resort.
..............
HOPEFULLY.

Todd nodded. "I think it rolls in from the north. But Yang has seen the fog come from the south as well," Todd offered. "I recently recovered from a rather odd case of possession.... My counter part snapped shortly after it happened..."

So no-one knew where this fog was coming from... It looked like a visit to the Witch Princess was unavoidable after all... Still, the consequences of this idea seemed to have carried over and created something truly horrible. How it resulted in this, how this island became real, and now, how past ideas have come into play... He had to find a way to reverse this. Even if it meant going to...
"I see... I guess when my schedule opens up some, I'm gonna need to look into this. I can't stay on this island if it means the fog is going to be an issue." he notes the looks. A schedule? "Apparently a new Beth recently arrived on the island. She apparently has some kind of job she wants me and a few others to do."

Todd raised an eyebrow. "A new Beth?" he asked seeming interested at this new development.
Yang looked down. "Another takes the reigns... I think this new Beth might be why our neighbor disappeared," she offered. "What's your friend planning and can we help in anyway?"
Todd let his hand meet his forehead and let out a sigh.

Alex sighed as he rubbed his chin, doing his best to think better of everything he had heard from Beth previously.
............
"To be honest, I'm not really sure what I can tell you. Beth told me a bit about what the job entailed and mentioned that more details would follow.... But even then what she's told me doesn't make a lot of sense... She's told me that she... Fully intends on scouring a dead session in an attempt to salvage it. I assume it's somewhere within the general universal neighborhood. I think she said something about wanting to try and finish what we started... Even if it's with something that someone else failed to complete."
He looks to the two strangely. "I'll be honest, the entire venture sounds a little odd to me. I think the only reason I'm agreeing to help her is because I'm intrigued by the fact that there's a session near here. One that's still lingering in some way. Call it a morbid fascination I guess...."

"It's a great to stand by a friend. But you might want to talk to her. This just seems to be full of holes...." Yang offered before sighing. "She's blindly acting. I can admit that I've done this and I had to pull my partner, Blake, out of a rather strenuous bout of reading up on an enemy..."

..... Alex smiled a bit at the advice. "I suppose.... To be honest, if she intends to start something from scratch, I'd want no part of it..."
He rubs his arm, self-conscious, vulnerable, shivering.
"I've already ruined one session after all... I don't want the chance to go two for two..."
He turns back to Todd, shaking off his shivers a moment. "What do you think Todd? I mean, she IS a version of you. What do you make of all this?" He looks to Yang simply. "I do agree that someone needs to talk to her... Perhaps I will... But all the same, I'd like to hear it from Todd. Beth is a friend, and I'd like some advice from a proxy on how I should approach her, or this situation."

"I trust her. I'll admit with my last death that the counterpart before her had a hand in orchestrating it. But she means well, and that's what she's going off of," Todd offered. "But I would try to get her not to do that.... I doubt this island could take very many meteor hits."

.... THAT WENT WITHOUT SAYING.
"No kidding. Given it's size alone, one meteor would be enough to virtually obliterate this place..." He nods, rubbing his chin and going over everything he had learned thus far. There was still a lot of uncertainty, still a lot he didn't know. However, he was at least a LITTLE more confident now. He was approaching this situation with a clearer head. "You know, I'm glad I ran into you here Todd. At least I'll be going into this a bit better prepared." Mentally anyway. This wouldn't be another round of the game. This would just be an investigation. No-one had to suffer through SBURB ever again.
Alex was intimidated, scared. Unsure. He just wanted something quiet... Hopefully that would be the answer he'd find....
.... OH WAIT.
"Actually there's another interesting facet about this case... She claimed she found another version of Evan on the island as well. One that doesn't come from any SBURB related timeline."

"A non-SBURB related timeline? That's a new one.... Are you sure she didn't hit her head in landing?" he offered with a hint of disbelief.
"You fought him. Sure he was being hi-Jacked. But that was his body," she offered. "What? I followed. I don't always fight in Fog Form."

Jeeze... A LOT of shit went on during Fright Island didn't it? ..... Or... At least he ASSUMED this was a Fright Island thing... Maybe it wasn't. Who knows. Letting out a sigh, Alex shook his head and massaged his temple. This was the one point that he had the hardest time understanding after contacting Evan. "It gets even more convoluted. I contacted this Evan for myself... He sounds a bit like him... But it gets worse then that..."How much worse can it get?? "Apparently our new Beth is expecting this complete stranger, not OUR Evan but someone entirely different, to die during this event." ?? Alex looked just as perplexed. "I've already tried contacting her numerous times. She knows that if he dies that's it... I've reached the assumption that she's expecting him to die on a questbed, become a God-Tier. But we have no evidence whatsoever that that's going to happen. That kid could potentially die for nothing and the blame would fall entirely on us for it.
Trust me, I am going to grill Beth hardcore the instant I find her."..... Well that would at least explain why he was looked so distracted when Yang first met him. |

"Can we join you in this grilling? She's starting to sound worse than Torchwick," Yang asked as her eyes flashed red.
"Violence isn't the answer Yang. Also low blow with that pun," Todd commented.

"Can we CAN the puns? This is VERY serious. The Evan clone, I don't think he even understands remotely what he's getting himself into. I don't think ANY of them really do.... Granted I hadn't really talked to any of them besides Evan, but if he's a good example of what we're going to be in for first meeting these people. Then I think we're ALREADY off to a horrible start." He growls under his breath, frustration in clear showing for the whole world to see. Today was DEFINITELY not agreeing with him. "Even worse, she's clearly been avoiding me. I've sent her a multitude of messages, but none have come up with answers. I'm not sure what Beth is trying to accomplish, but I'll tell you this much, if someone has to die, you know something bad is going to go down."
He noted the fire in Yang's eyes as he spoke this, an odd feeling moving about in him about the fiery energy he felt. The energy he was picking up from this woman was... Unreal. Still, thank god for Todd poking in when he did. "Yeah. Mad as I am at Beth. I'm not about to beat her. At worst, I may give her a VERY stern talking to and call off this expedition."

Yang grumbled something under her breath about 'just trying to lighten the mood'. The blonde flopped back onto the couch.
"Wanna bet she doesn't have a full plan yet?" Todd offered.
A few seconds passed before a ping was heard. This sent Yang and Todd to look at their devices. After they checked they looked to Alex.

GG: YOU AND I HAVE A LOT OF THINGS TO DISCUSS
GG: RIGHT NOW.
GG: BETH!!!
DM: ......What did I do this time?

"Let's not bet. It certainly didn't sound like she did to me..."
A little after, Alex decided to sit back on the easy chair and relax a little bit. As much as he wanted to look for Beth, he had no idea where she was at this point. All he knew was she and Pieter had went off on their own somewhere on the island. All he could do was wait for her to call ba-
PING~!
WELL SPEAK OF THE DEVIL!
He noted Yang and Todd checking their devices as he went to check his own. It was indeed Beth calling him back. It was about damn time too. "Yeah, it's me. Hold on." It was SO tempting to start ranting and raving right then and there, but crappy reception meant she wouldn't get the message. They needed another plan.
