A Sweet Escape

[Essent Rose Allison]

Out of the Nexus, Essent stumbled through the gate. What was beyond the gate was what she was looking for. Civilization. And a place to hide. Essent kept calm, though. As long as she doesn't reveal her location online, she should be safe. Unless some things happen. But she kept calm either way. She can't get worked up now. Only at the last minute she will... Or if she's told ahead of time by someone she trusts. Essent took the calm time to look around the city. It sure was bustling. Kinda like a vacation town if the palm-tree-gate is anything to go by. It was really sunny and the streets were full of sand. Up above her was a sign.

"Costa del Sol...? Sounds like a nice place."

Essent's hands were in her hand pockets as she walked down the street. She's gonna need a change of outfit. Something different than her normal clothes. As she walked, she began to focus, maybe something more... Secretive. After a couple minutes of walking, Essent's clothes changed to a nice green sleeveless hoodie (with hood up), a thin long sleeved olive-colored shirt underneath, black shorts (that reach her knees), tan sandals, and sunglasses that fit her prescriptions so she can still see. Her hair was in a low ponytail so it could be wrapped around her neck. This is the perfect outfit. Hopefully if she's found he won't recognize her facial structure. And she can't use her powers. She cannot switch back to her normal outfit until she knows she's safe.

Essent sat down on a bench, twiddling her fingers and head down. Man this really felt like she was in Assassin's Creed. Hoodie, hiding from greatest enemy, blending in... Interesting. Maybe a hint of Prototype because of her powers. Who knows? In the end, Essent was left to think for herself. Her greatest enemy is in the Omniverse. He summoned a kid. Her head is wanted on his platter. Essent has gone through several steps to hide: do not reveal location, change appearance, say nothing, remain anonymous. Change name if needed, dye hair if needed, different color eyes if needed... She's gonna have to change her physical self in order to get by without being found.

Then she began to remember the good times before the incident. Ethan... The lab... The many fist powers she was able to study... It was all a normal life. Well, somewhat normal due to her powers. Her crush on Ethan... The way he looked, sounded, his personality... He was one kind man to her. And then... He died. His charred bones left after Sun Wu Kong's explosion. She was the only survivor from her lab. All she could do... Was fight back. And move on. She finished the job, and now the past has come back to haunt her... She began to... Cry? Well, not really sobbing, just tears flowing down her face. She was silent for five whole minutes before a large orb of omnilium came out of her.

It began to take a human shape... Familiar features. Short light brown hair, tan skin, green eyes... Lab coat, brown work shirt underneath, brown badge, dark brown work pants, black boots... Essent looked up to find a long lost face...

"Ethan...?"

The young man looked at Essent with surprise and then at himself, confused. What the heck happened to him? Essent raised her sunglasses, allowing the other to recognize her face. And when he did...

"Oh goodness... Essent... You're alright- oof!"

Essent already went up to hug him, tears flowing down her face and onto his lab coat. Her sunglasses were askew on her head but after a while she let go and fixed everything on her. This... This was one happy reunion. Something to get her mind off of her problem. A smile was on her face... This... This is the greatest time to start over. In a new world. In a great place.

"I missed you..."

"What happened?"

"I'll... Give you the whole story. Just... Follow me. And remain anonymous."

"How... Come...?"

"Part of the story. C'mon..."

The two began to walk through the streets, as far from the gate as they possibly can. Essent talked about what happened after the lab was destroyed as they walked. How Ethan died, the True War Tournament, her True Fist, and the fact that his murderer is in the world... And she wasn't talking in her normal extravagant manner. She was more... Soft and right to the point. This reunion is one heck of one on her part. It was with the very person she saw die right in front of her eyes... Seeing as she brought him back... It was a miracle to her that she could. Sure, she moved on, but grief is a lingering feeling.

Eventually the two found a place to relax a bit, far away from the gate. Ethan recapped the story in questions with Essent putting out various "mmhm"s as he went along. Essent kept her head down, as if glum. Ethan put on his concerned face and patted Essent's shoulder.

"Listen... I know it may be hard for you... But at least we made it through, right? You brought me back... You survived to tell the tale... And we only come out stronger, right?"

"Yeah, but the thing is, coming here weakened my powers... I haven't done much since I've got here. I'm not sure what he's doing though or how much of his power he got back. I'm not sure if I can face him again. That's why I said to remain anonymous. So... Call me... Rose? Perhaps?"

"Alright... I understand."

Essent let out a sigh.

"C'mon... Where's the Es- Rose that cracks a joke?"

"I don't think I can after this heavy revelation..."

"Listen. Maybe after a while, we can rebuild the lab. Maybe studying this world can help cheer you up. You're always up for science, right?"

"Yeah..." Essent smiled. "Yeah! I... I guess we can do that."

Ethan pat her on the back. "Atta, girl!" Essent let out a little laugh. It was good to have Ethan back... Perhaps this isn't so bad after all...

[Essent Rose Allison]

Essent's phone vibrated, sending her a notification. Something about a Dante's Abyss thing. She took a look out of curiosity and... She broke into victorious laughter.

"What's up?"

"Sunny got his butt whooped! Happy days!"

Essent and Ethan looked at the recording of the fight, watching as the three beat each other up. Turns out Sunny's new name is Chakravartin. She's gonna call him Chunky. Looks like he went up against some Dawn fella and... Gamzee? Turns out the beloved clown troll from Homestuck was here as well, just like Jade. She isn't sure how to react... Though there's the saying in the comic; You can't keep down the clown. He'll get back up eventually. Essent was grinning madly, watching Chunky get his butt kicked. Such victory for Essent. She won't be the only one to punch God in the face now! She laughed as she closed the notification and returned her focus to making a new lab. She motioned Ethan to follow her.

Walking along the street, Essent felt that rush of victory despite not being there to fight. Seeing Chunky get dunked on was an amazing sight to see. Whoever this dawn person was, she would applaud them. But, well, for now, she still has to remain anonymous. Better safe than sorry.

"Hey Ethan?"

"Yeah?"

"Is there anything specific you want in the building? A living space somewhere? A hobby room? Something of the sort?"

"Well... We can do with both. If you don't mind, that is."

"I don't. Both actually come in handy whenever one of us is bored." Essent is gonna have a gaming room. She's gonna be a lets player once this anonymous phase is out of the way. The best equipment there is along with lots of game consoles. She smiled at that thought. The perfect hobby for when she is not doing science.

The two eventually reach an open plot in the city's business district. It was a reasonable size for a laboratory, probably three floors would be enough. She'll have to call whoever is needed to purchase the plot. There was a sign and a number for the realtor assigned to that plot, which is good for Essent to have a reference. It's time to do the very long process. Assuming it would be easy, that is. After a few hours of waiting, talking with the realtor, and asking about what restrictions there are, Essent got the green light. The two shook hands and the realtor went on his way.

Now was the fun part; summoning the building. Essent began to focus on the plot, placing a few fingers on her temples and squinting her eyes to mimic a psychic power. Typical laboratory exterior... Three floors... First two floors were the typical science stuff and rooms... The third floor would be living space and hobby stuff. Essent's gaming room and Ethan's little library. Plant decorations all over, two separate bedrooms, a nice modern living room, couple bathrooms on each floor, a nice large kitchen filled with various appliances... The lab floors will include a variety of fields from Genetics, to Microbiology, to Anatomy, all fields of science that involve the human form and organic life.

After ten minutes of focusing, a humongous omnilium orb came out of her body and began to form the building, putting detail into each room and floor. Her eyes sparkled as the process of forming went on. Once it was done, a brand new laboratory was created! Ethan was in awe.

"E- Rose, how did you do that?!"

"Pretty much once you enter the Omniverse, your entire being is made up of this omnilium substance. The more you do here, from what I gathered, the more omnilium you get to do more things with. I'm planning to research the properties of omnilium to see what makes it tic."

"I see. Shall we get started then?"

"Yeah. Aaaaaafter a nice get-to-know-your-new-home session. Can't get started without knowing where you live." Essent seemed to return to her comical self. She must have been washed away by a sense of relief after seeing Chunky get his arse impacted by a foot. Ethan laughed at Essent's wording but followed her inside. Inside was scientist glory. A receptionist desk for visitors, a nice lobby, and two entrances for their respective hallways. Each floor's hallway network was a large H that way the two hallways connect. At the end of each hallway was a stairwell and in the middle of the H was an elevator. The duo to the stairs each time as they explored each floor and their respective rooms. Both of then were in awe of what Essent created.

Once on the third floor, Essent went to go plop herself on the sofa.

"Maaaaannnnn, I needed a break. I fought this strange giant monster thing earlier and been walking around ever since my arrival. Dropped off a guy at a gate as well and then the anonymous phase happened. So, if I fall alseep, don't worry about that."

"Alright. I'm going to see what this floor offers."

"Gotcha there, Ethey-boy!"

As Ethan left to explore the floor, Essent gazed at the TV on the wall and turned on the TV to watch this Dante's Abyss thing. Turns out there's another battle to begin! Essent got up from her lying down position to sit up and watch. Another 1 v 1 v 1. Oh boy, this will be interesting. Her bet's on the alien looking guy. Well, not really betting, she's just making a guess. Essent's eyes were fixated on the TV, twiddling her fingers.

Ethan was in the library room, looking at all the books on the shelves. There was a little easel in the corner in case he gets any ideas.

All in all, it was a new home sweet home.

[Essent Rose Allison]

Essent yawned, stretching her arms out and lying down on the couch. It has been a long day for her. So much going on, so many things seen... She brought her good friend/partner back to life. She managed to created a home for herself and him to live together. The view is amazing since it's along the beach. There is a bunch of science to do on the floors below. Man, who knew the Omniverse would give her quite the second chance? It was awesome. Less awesome since Chunky is here. Well, she can only hope that someone that she fought him with, like Mirion, Fate, or Hitsome could be here as well. If one of them is here, then she has a chance. Not that she likes fighting. Sure, she understands the thrill of it but, well, fighting isn't her forte.

Essent thought about the day she had, her eyes slowly closing. Another yawn was let out before Essent eventually succumbed to her fatigue. Her breathing was steady and she was nice and curled up. Ethan came in and noticed her sleeping. He figured she would eventually. He went into one of the two bedrooms to grab a blanket. He exited the room with it and went over to place it over Essent. She moved a bit, her hands unconsciously grabbing the blanket to hold it closer. Ethan smiled, holding his hands behind his back. Though he did pat Essent's head gently to not wake her up. Then again, she sleeps through anything.

The TV was still showing off the adventures in Dante's Abyss. Ethan grew curious and began to watch it, his arms resting on the back of the couch. These guys fight for fun, huh? For competition? Sounds like the Fist Users back home. Not Essent, though... She did fight for her life, yeah. But he knows that she doesn't favor it. The young man went ahead to sit on the floor in front of the couch. This was somewhat interesting, though, seeing all these people fight each other... To the death it seems. Why is it broadcast then, if they are dueling to their demises? Seeing as Essent explained the Omniverse stuff she knew to him earlier, they probably get brought back to life. Make sense.

Ethan watched until he decided to turn it off so Essent can have a quiet sleep. He went to his hobby room to gain some inspiration for painting. Surely there can be something he can paint to practice various techniques... Maybe he can just do something random. With that in mind, he grabbed a paintbrush and a pallet and began to make some neat strokes. It won't be a masterpiece, he knows this, but it will be something to keep his mind going. A stroke of blue paint across the bottom, adding black to make it darker as he adds more strokes. A sea, perhaps? That's a good idea... So he continued.

Previously for Cirrus: Cirrus Day at the Beach

After his day recovering at the beach, Cirrus Neon decided to explore what the world had to offer. Heading out towards the water, he waved goodbye to his new friends, and began to dash forwards. He built up speed along the sand, each step kicking out and sending sand flying. When he hit the water, he was at full super-speed. 

As he ran across it's surface, feeling the wind on his face, he made a wide arc, turning to run parallel to the shore rather than away from it. He kept an eye on the shoreline, the houses, the forests, the buildings. Costa Del Sol was reminscent of a lot of tourism-focused towns. Huge hotels, wide beaches of fine sand, tropical plants and beautiful roads. 

And, of course, people. Lots of people. 

He made another wide arc, and aimed back for the beaches. He would hit up the fancy 'big city' part next, he supposed. 

Cirrus Neon hit sand once more, slowing down as he went, until he was merely at a comfortable thirty mph jog. He sped down the sidewalks, in between the occasional roaming car, as he took in the sight of each building he passed. Malls, hotels, office buildings, cafes, lounges, apartments. 

And then...

The building style was familiar at least. Every culture on earth has their own distinctive style. If you go to another country, the houses won't feel 'right', no matter what. But this building, even though it was small, only a few stories, something about it reminded him of... home. 

He walked towards the doorway, and saw a sign stating "Not yet open to the public". But Cirrus needed to know. If Sun Wu Kong was brought to this place by Omni, maybe... others would to. His family, maybe. Or maybe just your sisters, Vampire told him.  Or Hitsome. Or Monstre, or the other Saru Kids, they were alright. Someone he could fight with on friendlier terms, at the very least. 

He knocked on the glass door. 

There was no response. 

He knocked on it harder. 

Still no response. Cirrus frowned, glanced around- no Stormtrooper within sight. He punched the doorway, and he felt the glass clatter around his feet. 

He stepped through, and dipped his Vampire Fist into the broken glass- he watched, with amusement, as his claw transformed into glass, and the mess on the floor was drawn into him. Soon enough, it was clean. He dismissed the Vampire Fist, and turned to the door, placing his hand on it and concentrating. He didn't want to be rude- well, maybe rude. But not inconsiderate. 

Rainbow light spilled forward in an orb after a few minutes of concentration, and the door was back in the same condition it had been before, the only difference being the sign lying on the ground outside. Ah well. If anyone tried the doors and found them locked, they'd either leave, or punch out the glass like he had. 

He walked through the reception area, noting the computers seem to have not yet been touched, before he moved on to the next room. It was definitely a laboratory, but based on the equipment and icons everywhere, it was omnidisciplinary. Heh. Fitting, he supposed. 

Now- who did he know who was... a... scientist.

He turned his head, and Essent Rose Allison stared back, eyes wide. 

"I... uh... your door." Cirrus said dumbly. He wasn't really expecting her of all people, but now that he thought about it, she had been a terrifyingly effective fighter in the last battle, and Vampire warned him more than once about Genetics.

Previously for Chakravartin: Reincarnation I

Chakravartin flew through the gate, and headed straight up. His Halo, which in the Nexus had simply been edging him towards the Gate, was now finally giving a much clearer sense of where his target was. 

He rose higher and higher into the air, until the island below him in its entirety was visible. 

He felt a rush of calmness and peace, seeing the land from below. He raised his hand, and smiled as the island was blotted from view entirely. He felt, finally, like he was back where he should be. All of existence below him. 

He closed his hand into a fist, and the edges of the island peeked into his view. Frowning, he dropped his arm with a sigh. It was still just an illusion, after all. He wasn't really powerful any more. 

His Vita Halo directed him downwards, toward the island's center. 

Now... the question was, how much did he care for consequences in this world? He was immortal, yes. But so were a great many others. Banishment existed, and while the experience sounded like it would be quite pleasurable, and, apparently, it was possible to escape the Underverse for a very select few, it would put a damper in any other plans he would have at the moment. 

But he didn't really have any other plans, did he? 

So the question was one of image. Thus far, he had no criminal record that he was aware of. Even the ordeal in Camelot, with the ghosts and the wolf-fighting ring, had been considered more of a public service. A purification of spirits, an attempt to expose a heinous act, and an accident that spiraled out of control rolled up into one. He had some good will in Minas Tirith, should he ever need it. In DA, he had not done too well, in his opinion, and it was truly only a game to pass the time, but it was televised... he hadn't done anything improper, had he? Besides bringing a cave down on himself in a misguided attempt at a kamikaze. 

He was... not a bad guy, as of yet. 

But if he began open-firing on a busy city, he likely would become known as a villain fairly quickly...

Cirrus, he could perhaps persuade to fight somewhere more secluded, but Essention was a different matter entirely. He would have to either ditch the good-guy act, or he would have to be sneaky... What would Aang think?

...

He would think revenge was stupid, probably. Ah well. 

Which to choose?

[Essent Rose Allison]

"Cirrus...! What a... Nice... Surprise..."  She said that with a nervous laugh. Essent, to be honest, expected Hitsome, or maybe Mirion... Possibly Fate. But Cirrus? Oh boy, that was something. Ethan came running down the stairs, hearing of the cracked glass.

"What's going on?!"

"Oh, nothing! Just Cirrus! Breaking the door. Nothing unexpected of him. Heh..." Essent rubbed the back of her head. This was... Interesting. Her unlikely ally was here with her. But, then again, that's two out of five heroes from their world. Who knows what would happen if everyone was here? Actually... Two out of five, that's not bad. Considering Cirrus' strength, she actually might have a chance should Chunky find her. That was good news. Very, VERY good news.

"Who?" Ethan busted her out of her thoughts.

"Oh. Cirrus Neon. Fist of the Vampire, fellow Earth savior, fought with me against the Fist of God. Door breaker, too, it seems."

"Aaahhhhh. Wait, what?"

"He's infamous for his power, I know."

Essent crossed her arms and faced Cirrus, a bit dumbstruck but calmer than how she was when she first saw him here. It's good to have a fellow ally here. Even if he is... Violent. Oh well, she can't help that. He is who he is. Can't change that. Even if she expected someone else, at least it was good to know someone was with her that was from her world... And from her side of the story when it comes to the Stone King incident.

"Now that I had a sigh of relief... Somewhat... What's up?" Her posture tilted and her sunglasses slightly on the tip of her nose. She fixed that, pushing her sunglasses back up her nose.

Is now a good time to remind everyone that Essent wears a different outfit than the one she arrived here in?

[Larfleeze]

Cirrus sighed, taking in the laboratory. "Well, I definitely don't want to spook you, but... Kong is almost certainly on his way here. It would be too much to hope you've kept your old level of power?"

"He's... on his way here? How did he find us?"

"Well, he's probably following me."

"Then why did you lead him to us!" the scientist cried, "All that hiding- for nothing?"

"I didn't know you would be here." Cirrus defended, "I just came to recover from my injuries on the beach, and caught sight of this place on happenstance."

"He injured you?"

"No, in fact, I think I'm stronger than him. At the very least, I won't be easy to put down when it does come to a fight. I was fighting a different guy who wants Kong dead."

"Then... why did he try to kill you?"

"I don't know." Cirrus said with a shrug, "But considering our luck, he probably just left Kong without a scratch, muttering about honor or whatever. Either way, he's probably in this verse."

---

Chakravartin lowered through the air, focusing on his Vita Compass. 

Vampire and her host were down there. He was close.

Now... what to do? What to say?

He wouldn't start an all-out fight here right next to a Gate. That would only be asking for trouble, and he wasn't 100% sure he wanted trouble, quite yet. He found himself closer to the edge of the island's city, looking over a building on the smaller side, compared to its neighbors. 

He lowered to the door, floating just in front of it, and tried the handle. Locked. 

He floated back a bit, and took in the sign. "Ah." Well, regardless, Cirrus was inside there. 

He began knocking on the door. He could afford to wait.

[Essent Rose Allison]

After that nice chat with Cirrus and a long discussion more, Essent waved him goodbye as he went to do his own thing, not even noticing the other who was at the door knocking. Said other went after Cirrus once he left and, well, yeah. It's out of Essent's hands now. She returned her focus to Ethan, who was right beside her. He had this bewildered look on his face.

She had no idea as to what to do now. She watched as events outside unfolded and just turned around.

"As long as they don't wreck the lab, I'll be okay."

"You sure?"

"Yeah. It's more likely Chunky's after him now rather than me."

"... Chunky?"

"Sunny."

"Ah."

Essent shrugged went went back to the living floor. She's had enough for today. Cirrus showed up, had a nice chat, then he's gone. Good news now? It's all back to normal for her. In the end, she's glad to have this happy life again, even if she is paranoid that Chunky's on her tail. Well, the focus might have shifted so... She focused and returned her clothing to her normal lab clothing. Ethan followed behind her as she went upstairs and into the kitchen.

"You want anything?"

"Well, the sun's setting... Maybe some sort of steak dinner?"

"Mashed potatoes included?"

"And asparagus?"

"I was going for carrots but okay."

Essent nodded and went ahead to start cooking. Thank goodness she summoned the base pre-stocked. Something to start off with before she officially starts her job again as a scientist. Some steak, plenty of asparagus, and some un-peeled potatoes. Man, it's been a while since she last ate. It's a nice time to eat some nice food. With a nice man. In a nice building. Built by a nice girl. It's nice. Very nice.

After that nice cooking session that took about a half an hour, Essent and Ethan went ahead to eat their dinners.

"Gosh, this feels like a date, doesn't it?"

"I guess. But we're still friends at the moment."

"At the moment, yeah...."

Essent kinda blushed as she ate. The sun went down, the lights were slightly dim, it- It really did feel like a date.

"You're blushing."

"Oh- What- Really- I, uh, okay."

"You're fine, you're fine. You've done it before. I don't mind."

"I just hope this doesn't force a relationship..."

"Don't worry about it. It comes naturally, right?"

"R-Right."

She really doesn't hope this little situation here doesn't force a relationship as she said. I mean, asking for a steak dinner, night time comes in, the lights are (slightly) dim... She's probably gonna break the 4th and yell at me later. Off screen, of course. Anyway, the two had their dinner. It was a nice night.

[Essent Rose Allison]

THE NEXT DAY

"Pfft. Luigi board."

Essent was up late last night recording her darn reaction to the Weggy Board video. She was laughing herself to sleep on this one. Ethan walked in on her repeating lines from the video as she brushed her teeth.

"Still can't get that video out of your head, huh?"

She shook her head and tried to make a nuh-uh noise with her mouth. Essent proceeded to finish up with her teeth brushing, rising her mouth out with water. After that was done, she proceeded to get into her casual wear (which was just her purple work shirt and work pants. Basically her work outfit without the lab coat and badge. She plopped onto the couch in the living room and let out a sigh.

"I am... Content."

"This is the happiest I've seen you."

"Well, I deserve it. The lab's back, I got you back, I don't have a whole crowd of fans wanting my autograph..."

"What about this Kong Guy you mentioned?"

"I'm sure Cirrus can keep him occupied."

The young fist user stretched herself out. This was the life.

[Essent Rose Allison]

A few days later...

"EEEETHHHAAANNNNNNN...."

"Yeah?" Ethan's voice exclaimed from the kitchen on the other side of the third floor.

"I DUNNO WHAT TO DOOOOOOOOOOO." Essent flopped her body onto the couch in the living room. She was freaking BORED.

"We can try opening the lab and find people willing to work with our science methods."

"Nooottttt yeeeeeetttttt...." The young scientist hero groaned. "We don't know anybody! I barely met any other primes besides two, which were Tearen and Issac Clarke! I don't know what happened to Tearen and I dropped Issac off at one of the other gates in the Nexus! And I'm sure Issac has a bad relationship with science. Along with that, I seem to like adrenaline surges now! Roller coasters, sparring, the like! I guess that stupid True War tournament got to me. I can see why other Fist Users like to fight! It gets their adrenaline going!"

Essent sighed and plopped her face into a pillow. Her voice became muffled.

"Why is my content life so boring?!"

Ethan came from the kitchen with cereal (with milk) in a bowl in one hand and a metal spoon in the other. He placed his breakfast on the coffee table and patted Essent's back.

She turned her body upright to face the ceiling.

"I used to be so excited about science! My whole family ran on it! But now it's all just... Meh. Why did that Sunny do this to me?! Now I'm craving action! I don't want that! I like the thrills but I hate having the violence I do in video games appear in my real world! What do I do?!"

"Well, the best you can do is to, you know, meet others. Getting to know them will spice up your day, right?"

"Yeah...?"

"And maybe, now that your here in this new world, you can go on adventures with them."

"True..."

"You don't always have to stick with me. I know you've had feelings for me for a while now but I can't always be your main focus."

"I know..."

"You managed to get through that whole tournament without having to think about me, right?"

"Only once. And that was before I sacrificed myself."

"None the less, you still made it through. And were you happy that you survived? That you won?"

"Yeah... Yeah. I was."

"So with this newfound courage, you can do more than what you used to do. Science my be your job but all work-"

"-and no play makes Essent a dull girl. You're right."

Essent got up in a confident stance.

"I'm gonna go explore."

She began to run down, grabbed her signature lab coat and badge, put it on, and made her way to the exit of the building. Ethan followed behind her.

"I'll keep an eye on the place while you're gone!"

"Wish me luck- Oh! Before I go!"

She began to focus... She envisioned a device that could serve as a return beacon. A place for her to teleport to once she's done exploring that way she can come back without having to walk... It took her time but she managed to create it. Success!

[RECALL STATION CREATED]

Essent went to the device and put in her ID and signature to let it know who she is. Once she was ready she went to Ethan and gave him a hug.

"I'll see you soon."

Letting go from the embrace, she left the building to explore the Omniverse.

[Essent Rose Allison]

Essent began to make her way towards the Nexus gate, passing by various locals and tourists. With her newfound confidence, she now has an idea as to what to do now. To go on new adventures, that is! Essent hummed a tune, swinging her arms as she went along the path. Thank goodness she said something about her boredom. Now she has a plan! A plan to make new friends! Whether they be someone she recognizes or someone entirely new. It's gonna be great!

She adjusted her badge before reaching the Nexus gate. It was a couple miles walk but, she made it. With that, she walked through. It's time to get a move on outside the Vasty Deep! "Look out world..."

She smiled.

"...Because here comes ESSENT!"
