Second Chance.

Carn here! If you are wondering what just happened, it's actually quite simple...I'm going with walking tanks into the so called Dante's Abyss. I'm not sure what awaits us there but, whatever I win will be enough for me to progress in gathering all the stray Anomalies that may have been created or scattered throughout the Omniverse and, make a home for them, giving them a single spot to interact with each other freely like they should in the Event Horizon. I have been doing well in trying to recruit some extra hands but I might need more in the future since this is no small task for a single Anomaly. Okay! Back to the 'normal' narrative talk now, got to sound professional here.

As I showed the three towers this fancy DA ad, they looked interested way beyond my expectation, safe to say I was surprised. Listening to each of their answers gave me a bigger smile on my face for every confirmation from the trio. Once that was settled, we had to figure out where we should sign-up, I had no clue but since one of them asked me, I had to keep the act and sound like I'm the better one of the group. I'm technically 3 days their senior on this null playground. Looking around and observing the flow of other guests, I spot a certain group of people heading towards the other side of the central spout. This particular group wore a white cotton t-shirt with an "I <3 Guu" print on it, fans perhaps? Keeping an eye at the fans crowding towards the other side of the fountain, I found myself pointing at their expected destination. "There," I answered the stinky one.

Scanning one more time, I make eye contact with the paramedic, he stands up and approaches me. "Oh guys, one sec. Okay?" I walk to meet the paramedic. "Thanks for the help back there. I'm sorry mister medic but I didn't get your name." The man reaches a white rubber-gloved at me and grabs my free arm, gripping it firmly followed by some wiggling motion from no land I have ever seen. "I'm Jed," he says. "Just Jed since I didn't get a last name," he explained. Eh? Probably writer dude doesn't feel creative enough to give him one. I'll talk to him about it, maybe 'motivate' him a little next time. I mean come on, stop slacking! Sheesh. Anyways, I can still feel Jed wiggling is arm, it's starting to annoy me. "Woah, woah. Stop that already, I don't like it."

"It's called a handshake, it's a sign of greeting."

"Ofcourse it is since you keep shaking my hand. You think I didn't know?"

"Oh sorry, that's not what I meant"

"And isn't saying 'Hello' good enough? Keep it to yourself man, you might catch something."

"I'm wearing rubber gloves"

"Cool! Wanna try it on the big guy on the middle?" I point at the plagued one with a comforting smile to hide the conversation.

"No thanks. Oh yeah I have to get back now. Don't worry, he'll be up in no time," Jed starts walking back to the battered man in wraps when I stop him by grabbing on his soft head.

"Here. Take this. One for you and one for him. I might need your help again next time so use that once you're done," I hand him two pieces of my makeshift calling card. The card has a simple black face with the white logo similar to my hat, the back includes all the necessary information to contact me through their phones and whatever communicator they choose to have. I let go of Jed as he continues to walk back quitely. He kneels to finish patching up the guy and I turn back to the tank trio once Jed gave one of my calling cards to Victor. Nice.

Approaching the giants I met earlier, I point again at the destination I think the booth for signing up will be found. "Thanks for waiting guys. So, all of you going with me? Great! Let's join the fun then, shall we?" I give them a little pep talk as I start walking. I feel better now since I can hear the rattling of weighted armor marching behind me with rumbling like no other.

A few minutes in, I turn back and try to feed my curiousity. I look at them one by one while walking backwards and decide to ask them the most obvious questions. "Why do you guys dress similarly. You from the same world or something? Each of your armor looks different too, perhaps from different groups as well?"

waiting for an answer, I slow down my pace to match theirs. Sooner than I thought, we have arrived. People have already flocked into a tiny booth under an open tent with a larger tent behind it. Everyone seems to line up and thinking that we have enough time to chat, I look back at the giants behind me. "As I was saying..." I release my Anomaly skills, barraging them with basic questions to know more about them.

Quote:I had to keep it brief since I have to do some stuff. Feel free to fill in the conversation then we can post at the sign-up thread.
