There comes a faint whirring noise from Essent's left. The girl turns to see what appears to be some sort of malevolent spectre floating towards her at breakneck speed. Startled, but undaunted, the Fist user feels her palms itch as the reflex to call upon the Dual Scratch wells up.
As the phantom draws closer, however, she can see that the figure is not floating, but riding a...segway. The scientist blinks.
Yes. That is a segway scooter. It is being ridden by a tall humanoid wrapped in brown, ragged garb, and a low hood hangs over acid green eyes. The face is apparently obscured in shadow.
...
Tearen slowed to a stop, a few feet away from the female. Judging her vector of travel, relative physique and glassy-eyed appearance, it was safe to assert that she was new. That, and the swirl of terror and confision that was leaking from her mind into the psychic wavelength. The eldritch Prime blinked once.
"Hey, uh...you lost?" he shouted, his rasping voice barely audible, despite the yawning silence of the Nexus. Before Essent could respond, the mysterious figure held up a solitary finger, bidding her patience for a moment.
Suddenly, Tearen was feeling rather ill. Any number of things could be causing this, but it was hard to think through this fog of nausea. The legendary Prime dismounted his segway and immediately doubled over, vomiting what appeared to be a thick, black, rolling mist onto the pristine floor of the Nexus. Essent's sensibilities advised her to flee, but the scientific curiosity was too strong to peel her eyes away from the wretched spectacle.
Meanwhile, Tearen was experiencing a nearly existentisl amount of pain. With every heave, another cloud of darkness boiled out onto the porcelain plain, disippating however instantly. Small fragments cracked away from his glass-like face before nearly his entire obsidian carapace had fallen away, revealing swarthy, dark brown skin.
By the time the episode had passed, Tearen could confirm that he was once again wearing a human body, running a hand through his long, silvery-white hair. After taking a few haggard breaths, the Shadow staggered to his feet and blinked at Essent's mortified face.
"Sorry about that. You new here?"

And, we dream of home I dream of life out of here Their dreams are small My dreams don't know fear I got my heart full of hope I will change everything No matter what I'm told How impossible it seems We did it before And we'll do it again We're indestructible Even when we're tired And we've been here before Just you and I
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
Don't try to rescue me I don't need to be rescued
