Spiral: Thinking of Heavy Metal Queen, could be fun. Scanning and skedaddling out seems like an easy enough job but the danger level is higher…
Steady: Danger levels are scaled toward one person unless something else is said so… you’re all good my dude. Plus that sounds hype honest.
Steady: I mean not a fan of kings and queens but if she's metal she can't be that bad right?
Steady: Anyway no idea if Fiddle is willing to work a second job with us but even then you and me is plenty.
Steady: You ready to go then? Do your first mission together?
Spiral: Think I am.
Steady: Nice. Let’s get going then.
The two of you wave your goodbyes to the seemingly nameless for now keeper of arms and get going.
She leads you down a hallway until you reach the elevator at the end.
You’re not sure what to say but she gives you a genuine smile
After a brief ride down, you’re in a more rough and concrete basement, one with a wall of doors.
Spiral: What’s this?
Steady: The gateway, it’s how we sort of drop in and out of reality. Because that never came up once.
Spiral: Are we not in reality?
Steady: I mean we are sort of? But like…. You know.
She sticks her hands in her pockets.
You shake your head.
Steady: It’s like, small and isolated. Folks here made contracts with supernatural entities. We’re the souls of people from across time and space and just orbiting the world we’ll be stepping into like a moon. Pockets...
Steady: None of my memories match anything in the world out there though, I’m probably from pretty far out.
Spiral: You mentioned being a witch so you got lucky and were probably local.
Steady: I guess I should’ve clarified that earlier. Once Fiddle gets here we’re gonna jump. Any last minute questions though? It’s your first job and all. Otherwise brace yourself.
