What could he be mad enough at you for to threaten to steal you via void? That was the question racing in Forsaken's mind as she sat on her faithful cube companion.
"He said to meet him in the park.... Wonder why he's mad at me?" she vocalized as she watched a handful of people come and go through the portals.

"Hey Beth..."
He had appeared as if out of nowhere, out of the void and out of nothing. His voice sounded tense... It sounded... Angry. And when she turned to see him, he was EXACTLY that, his mouth obscured behind the frill surrounding the lower portions of his head, his arms to his side, but hands gripping into fists as he shook in rage.
"........... EXPLAIN SOMETHING TO ME...." he started again, tensely. "If we're just going into this nearby ruined session to explore it, maybe bring back a few artifacts... Then why are we facing the possibility of Death?" WARNING BELL NUMBER 1. "I just contacted your Evan, and he told me a little bit about some of the ideas you had about the whole thing..." WARNING BELL 2. "About restarting a session as opposed to exploring it's ruins... Now tell me, why would he think that? Why would he ever have to think, for an INSTANT that he would have to either face death? WHY WOULD HE THINK WE WOULD ACTUATE SOMETHING THAT DANGEROUS?"

"Well hello to you to. And as for those questions.... I don't know how sessions react to being reconned, poked, proded, or even messed with after being dormant. I was hoping to have you meet him in person.... I explained to him what happened to me. I told him and his team to expect the worse. And technically.... Him rising is more like Plan Z-Delta aka the final and last resort," Forsaken answered flatly. "At the time I met him, which was before finding you, Lizzie, Pieter, and learning about Arti and Jordan, I was on the train of thought that I wasn't getting help from anyone but him so I pretty much just went with what I was thinking. And at that point- restarting the session was the only idea I had!"
Hedrons floated around the witch as she watched the thief. Unlike the void bound ninja, she had changed into the clothes from the beginning of the game. Anger seemed to creep into her voice as she spoke to her ecto-brother.

Alex was put on edge by Beth's voice, crossing his arms sternly as he looked to her. "Why are we even interferring with something that's been long dead ANYWAY?"
?
"Look... Beth. I get it. It was all horrible. We lost everything... But..." He looks down, shaking as he holds his arm. "But we STILL LOST. Regardless of who's at fault regardless of what happened." He thinks back a bit.... "In FACT... Why is your first impulse upon learning there's a dead session nearby that we should go and explore it?" His voice was calmer now, but he was prodding, trying to learn more, and still somewhat angry. "Haven't we 'tempted fate' enough already? There's no TELLING what might happen if we accidentally activate the game. The very ISLAND could be in jeopardy."

"I'm the one that screwed up my session! Not you or anyone else.... I wanted to make it up to my team.... Where ever they landed or have gone... I wanted to fix it and set things right.... I can call the whole off if you want. Hell you and everyone else don't have to tag along!" Forsaken answered. She seemed to shake as she continued to speak. "You don't hear them yelling at you. Calling you every name in the book. I might as well have died on the way here!"
"I hadn't thought that far a head....

Obviously she hadn't.... Still, watching her shake as she spoke, watching her divulge her fears, her insecurities?
.... The man felt himself shake. A similar guilt washing over him... He could still see 'HER' Face as she screeched at him. The only thing that had saved him from a death dealing punch was a shockwave caused by the scratch. He had at least managed to get out after that... However... that hadn't been enough for the guilt... He knew exactly who brought that monster to their game. Who pushed that monster to such an extent that she went completely insane.
He knew EXACTLY who was at fault for that.
"And what we all went through means nothing after that?"
?
He sits back on a bench.
"Do you have even the slightest idea of how many nightmares I've had of that fateful day? The day SHE came and sent the whole session to hell? I'm only so well adjusted because I've had TIME to get used to the fact that it happened... However, even still, the thought haunts me..." He looks down. "You were right about one thing Beth... I... Me and Arti both... WE brought Orcana to our session. We brought that upon ourselves and on everyone else."
............
"And now you want to restart another session? Do you realize how... How TERRIFYING that sounds to me? How terrifying it would sound to anyone else in the know? We have NO IDEA WHAT'S going to happen if a new game is started... And even then... We've seen how effective MY decisions have been in the other sessions." Yes...
Handing the ring to the Vagabond, transforming him into the Raven.
Choosing to LISTEN to Orcana and look into the void for answers...
SUBSEQUENTLY WANTING TO PAY HER BACK FOR THE HORRIBLE AND COSTLY TRICK.
Those were some pretty costly screwups.....

"I'm going to guess a few billion," she offered looking down. "Yes. You don't think it terrifies me when you put it that way.... It was more of pick it up were the session was left off.... You've heard my theory about this place and God Tiers."

............ He did indeed remember Beth's theories...
He remembered that she theorized that this island was a beacon to all available god-Tiers in the area. That they were being called to this place for a reason... That all of this was part of a plan... As tempting as that made it to answer the call and play another round of the game, Alex only wanted to live in peace. Probably spend the rest of his eternity living in peace with Lizzie... Maybe spend what time he can making a life for himself, seeing the island grow around him and yet he'd potentially never age a year.
The Pieter from the good future was taller, at least implying that he would get older to a point... Maybe his aging would be slow? He had no-way of really knowing.
"I honestly hope you're theories are wrong... That we don't have to start a game back up again, if indeed we can... Is it really so much to ask that I can just ENJOY that I'm here? That I can just live how I want to? Anything the island can throw at me would be a cake-walk compared to the game... I think I would have been okay."

"I never said you couldn't enjoy yourself," Forsaken offered. "I was in the library.... Wi-fi isn't that great but I went to look through the records. For clues or leads to try to avoid unneeded loss of life."

"We should face the facts now, while we still can Beth." He interjected... If he had to make one point today, Just one.... IT would be this one.
"If we do restart the game, there will be no turning back... If we do restart the game... EVERYTHING will change... Maybe in ways we'll never see coming........ We should be prepared for THAT fact above all else."

Forsaken nodded. "I was going to head out to the mines or Industrial Park... For clues... There is more to this island than we think..." she offered weakly. "We could always talk to some of the people here.... See what they may know."
Her mind was trying to formulate other plans and other ways to go about this.

Beth was doing her best to come up with ideas, with plans.... But really, nothing she could do would prepare ANYONE for what was going to occur... At this point, he was at least thankful that he was a god-tier. Meteors would've been easily handled thanks to his abilities to steal as well as his void modus... However, Meteors were the least of his worries.
If this paused session had archagents, would they be easy to handle? What if they had a Black King that had yet to be defeated? Alex's powers at least allowed him to defeat his Denizen. Who really knew how much more powerful the Black King would be.... And even worse yet... Would there be something akin to their own 'Mortalitis' in this game?
A lot of things could potentially go very wrong...
"If you haven't made it clear how risky this venture is with Evan and his friends... You'd better do so now. Because really, we have no idea what we're coming up against at this point. It could literally be anything."
He got up from his bench, looking at Beth with some degree of pity.
.........
His ecto-sister was going through so much....
.....
He pulled the girl, his ecto-sister, into a tight comforting hug.
".... Heh... You know... There are less nutty ways to go about redeeming yourself yes?" ..... "Just.... Make sure you take care of yourself, okay?"

"I already warned them.... It was one of the few things I did somewhat right...." Forsaken offered before hugging back. "Us playing was the nutty idea that got us here in the first place. And I will. I'm not going to pull a Blake and wear myself down to nothing."

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
OH HEY!
"Hey speaking of which, you might want to keep references like that to a minimum around me." ? Huh? Why? "Before we met up here, I actually met up with Yang herself. Yes, THAT Yang. Apparently she lives here on the island with a male version of you. They act like bickering brother and sister sometime. Kinda cute actually."
..... WAIT. WHAT.
"Regardless, I should be getting back to looking around the island. If I'm going to be staying here a while, I should find a place to live for me and Lizzie. Just make sure you let me know when we get started on this adventure thing right?" He points to her simply. "I'm putting my trust in you alright? So be careful... Anyway, later."
And with that he flew off...
......................
.... A MALE VERSION OF HER
WHAT.
WHAT...

Forsaken blinked before pulling out the headset again after Alex had flown off.
