(@Cath) Hastur: ... Oh. ~looks a bit down~ That's also a possibility. Deep Ones have... strange customs.
(@Asagi) Hastur: Why did you have to throw a phone at a crowd of orcs?
(@Auron) Hastur: One shouldn't call me a fiend since there are no other gods in the dimension I come from. Only that boring Nodens and his ilk. But nevermind. Don't think the name "King In Yellow" rings a bell for you, m?

Cath: @Roy: Oh? Sweet! @Asagi: Heh, thanks, I don't think I'll need change, though, because-
(She realizes, once again...)
Cath: Iiiiiiiiiiii left my wallet with Harrison. Jeez, I really am spoiled...
(She sighs.)
Cath: You, uh, don't need to give me any change. @Hastur: ...Um, alright.

New York
Lisa had just through with her last assignment the other day. It involved stealing the prototype for a new computer chip with well over a dozen times more power than any other currently on the market. Naturally, this attracted the attention of several rival companies who were willing to pay top dollar to ensure that they got their hands on this technological marvel, and Lisa was more than willing to meet this demand. Naturally, her... unusual stature made potential employers skeptical of her ability to snatch the chip undetected, but her previous track record ended up earning her the job regardless. The operation went off without a hitch, and Lisa found herself much richer. But after many, many, MANY celebratory drinks of wine, the giant found herself losing track of time... and space, for that matter. She began walking until she found a strange rippling portal. With a hiccup she stumbled into it, and it closed.
Middle of Nowhere
Lisa stumbled into the quiet town, still rather tipsy. She saw a group of people across the way, and decided to approach them. The giantess let out a loud hiccup.
“Oh, excuse me... where am I?”
Auron: -to Cindy- "Hrm...sometimes that's all it takes. My condolences."
-As the drinks are prepared and arrive in front of him, he takes them and pours them all into the jug hanging from his waist. As...explanation, he turns to Cindy and says:- "For the road."
-A moment later, he finishes.- "And you came to a town in the middle of nowhere to escape. Sound enough plan, until it isn't."
-to Hastur- "No, it doesn't. Don't look very regal to me, besides."
-he looks over at the giant lady, and...actually looks surprised for a split-second-
"...Interesting."

Be kind.(@Asagi) Hastur: I guess it was more than milk. ~looks at Lisa in amazement~
(@Lisa) Hastur: I saw the likes of you in the Dreamlands only, and on Lemuria when the world only started to prosper... ~gets almost slack-jawed~ And this lady's words are untrue. The Middle of Nowhere would be its right name.
(@Auron) Hastur: I'm not a true "king" anymore. I've left Carcosa after a thing I'd better not talk about. ~embarrassment flushes over his face like a tidal wave would~ But I still can back the title up.
(@Liberty) Hastur: Oh? Tales? ~interest sparked~ Hm, Earthling, where are you from? Arkham, Kingsport, Dunwich ring any bell?
Liberty: "New Helios, independent colony nation. Though I wouldn't call myself Earthling, first time I heard that in fact."
-*Then does a Double Take at Lisa.*
"What do they fed kids these days?" ._o
Lisa: ...That's quite a name for a city.
@Asagi: I'll have you know I'm a vegan.
-she says this with seemingly complete sincerity, then chuckles-
I'm kidding, of course. Like hell I could ever give up meat.
@Cindy: Huh, Hell isn't as bad as I thought it'd be.
-she nods to the others who are now looking at her in shock-
It's free to stare, but any more than that and we're gonna have some trouble.
-she laughs again, looking pretty good natured about the whole situation-
Cath: . . .Now that I think about it, the name of the town reminds me of a really weird show I vaguely recall watching.
Ruined Ringworld, city district
Nova was out doing what she did most days, eploring the ruins of "those who came before", the large buildings of glass and steel that lined the many abandoned city districts of her ruined world in stark contrast to the prestine white brick, and red roofs of the modern cities of her people.
Heading deeper and deeper into what appeared to be an old lab, and farther and farther away from the sun and the band in the sky she called out. "Minerva! Come here girl, I think I found something! Looks to be a rather interesting thing as well, although I dont know how we will get it back".
While the kitsune was full of happy and tail waggles, her wyvren companion could not seem to care less, just sniffing and then biting the large ring like device with its slobbery dragon mouth, and while it did not in any way fit.... it appears that its circutry did not agree with wyvren slober as the device began to spark and spool up.
"Whoa Whoa, don't do that girl! Bad girl!" The kitsune yelled out, despratly tugging on the wyvren in an attempt to get her to stop, before a crack like thunder rang out with a bright blinding flash, and both were gone.
Middle of Nowhere
Serenity's robot platform
◊ was one of the many entities disembarking the train, serenity herself was a bit of a mercinary, heading out to nowhere to look for some work, maybe hunting outlaws? Any way, what mattered to her was this was the frontier, and normaly in the fontier something was going wrong.
For right now, she mostly wandered off, blending in with the other robots in the crowds
Skies above Middle of
There was a bright flash in the sky, before two entities began falling to the ground from high above, one was a woman with a fox tail and ears, and the other was a wyvren.
"Shit! Oh shit! Oh shit! Minerva quick!" The fox woman yelled out as she flailed about in the air falling twords the ground, her calls apperntly provoking the Wyvren to action as the beast rolled over so that it was upright, spread its wings, and began an intercpet course to her.
Catching the woman on her sadle the Wyvren quickly began to try and level out, but they were already too close to the ground, causing the landing to be more of a "controled crash" as she smashed into the roof of the saloon, and then into the ground below.
"Owwwwwww" the kitsune called out, while the wyvren made a sound that was a akin to a draconic groan.
-shakes her head at Auron-
Lisa: Don't worry about it, it's cool. I'm just messin' with you, don't be so sherious... shurious... the heck? It's only been my fifth bottle of wine today...
@Asagi: I was walking out of the bar and I saw a shiny thing, and I sorta stepped into it by mistake. That's all I really remember.
(@Auron) Hastur: A king that never sees his folk is no typical king, yes. As well as a king who never unveils his face. To be honest, y'all are the only people who chat with me face-to-mask aside from a single one earlier.
(@Liberty) Hastur: Huuuh, weird. You do look like a perfectly ordinary post-Hyperborean Earth denizen. ~stares as if seen an alien~
(@Cindy) Hastur: And if you won't leave this place, probably even earlier. From boredom or dehydration. ~he says that with a cheerful voice as if stating a fact, not snarking~ Or maybe something wors- what the?!
Hastur jumps up, surprised and taken aback. He rushes out to take a look at the roof, then notices the wyvern.
(@Nova) Hastur: A shantak?! Here?! Are you alright there?!

Cindy: No, but he said I did. That was enough.
