Kite: So, have we finished the magical cult of doom?

TechSupport: According to the magical bigwigs, yes. For now. But there’s always some other group that’ll get it in their head that they need to make other people bow to them. Maybe it is magic, maybe it is mutants, maybe it is racists, or those without powers who want to control those who have them, but there’s always someone who thinks that hate is a good way to solve their problems. Why do you think there’s so many plots like that in the comics?

MarkoPolo: Well, at least this threat is settled. Not sure what y’all did, but I hear that there was a pretty epic light show down in Savannah?

Kite: Fortunately, Reliquary Haunt had her drones up, and they captured the whole thing.

TechSupport: Ooh, really? … Just found them! Yeah, she did a good job editing the footage together. Really showed how we were getting ourselves handled until Vampy went and got stupid.

MarkoPolo: Shit, watching it now. That’s some epic footage you got there. What happened after Vampyra went through the portal with ultimate doomy mcmagicpants?

BloodRaven: Things got very, very weird.

Yandere: Come ON! You can’t just leave us hanging with that!

BloodRaven: It is kindof hard to explain everything that happened.

Bull: What do you mean?

BloodRaven: Think really hard about trying to solve pi*sqrt( -1/0)34/0 to the last digit.

Bull: My computer just went insane and summoned Cthulu. Well, not really, but DAMN.

BloodRaven: Yeah, that was basically what was going on while I was in the portal.

Anonymous4: But where did it take you.

BloodRaven: That’s where things get really weird. Apparently, the servers for CoCO hit a sympathetic quantum state or something like that with some other servers, and I wound up in a different game until I got yanked back by the most powerful NPC in the game (that I know of).

Anonymous4: Wait. You got sent to another GAME???

MarkoPolo: How do you know it wasn’t just another world in CoCO?

BloodRaven: Because the system wasn’t using M&M, and I met someone I didn’t expect.

TechSupport: I’ve examined her game logs, by the way. Seriously don’t know how that happened.

BloodRaven: Yeah. Neither did the admins when they came and asked me about it. Apparently the odds were less than winning every lottery in the world on the same week with the same numbers.

Brackhaven: So who did you meet?

Anonymous4: And where did you go?

BloodRaven: I ended up in Age of Anarchy Online. I met the God of Chains when he was just mortal!

Anonymous4: Bullshit!

TechSupport: We checked the logs, both me, and the admins. She’s telling the truth.

Kakarot: Where did this happen?

BloodRaven: The Xanl City Slave Market.

Bull: But that was destroyed years ago, during one of the wars.

BloodRaven: Apparently, the quantum state for my jumping through the portal matched the quantum state of some severe chaotic energies in AAO’s past. You remember the Unknowable Incident?

Bull: Yeah, something happened that caused a couple people to be thrown into AAO, and this uber-wizard stepped in, ripped one guy a new one, and then took the other one back through a rift. It was pretty famous, even years later, since the God of Chains was there and witnessed everything, back when he was mortal… Wait, are you saying?

BloodRaven: Yeah. The ‘Lord of Darkness’ and I were the two slaves that ‘the Unknowable’ came to collect. Turns out that Acheron just didn’t care for people trying to look at his information, so he had a defense in place that tried to kill people who peeked.

Anonymous4: I’m too sober for this.

BloodRaven: Trust me, I’ve had many, many drinks, and am still too sober for this.

MarkoPolo: So what happens now?

Burninatrix: We try to go back to normal, until the next major crisis happens. Isn’t that how comics go?

ThunderCaller: Damn, that’s a depressing thought. But yeah, probably what will happen. We’ll get a period of cats in trees and street-level villains, and then some big plot.

Gedea: Any guesses on what it’ll be?

Succulent: Aliens!

TechGirl: Zombies!

Thadulator: Horny catgirls!

Succulent: …

TechGirl: …

ThunderCaller: …

Thadulator: What? Don’t you all wish for a plot with dozens and dozens of horny catgirls trying to take Earth’s men for their breeding programs?

Brackhaven: Well…

ATLATL: When you put it like that…

Bull: I volunteer as tribute!

BloodRaven: Men never change, it seems.

Succulent: We could get some horny catboys for you, Vampy.

BloodRaven: Don’t make me turn the hose on you again.

Succulent: Oh vampy, you don’t have to do all that to get me wet.

TechGirl: *SNORT* Oh god, I was drinking!

MarkoPolo: *dead*

Fabulous: Oh, MY!

BloodRaven: *groans* I have to put up with this shit all the fucking time.

Succulent: No, I’m very good when it comes to fucking time.

BloodRaven: I need a drink.

Bull: I volunteer as tribute!

BloodRaven: Really?

Bull: Sure, the regulars down at the club say it is a pretty hot experience.

BloodRaven: Which regulars? The pretty emo ones, the monsters, or the high society types?

Bull: Uh, I guess they were the pretty emo ones?

BloodRaven: I’m not one of those. It will hurt, and then you’ll be sleeping off your blood loss, if you live. And just draining someone dry doesn’t automatically raise them. That’s something I have to consciously do.

Cambrian: Oh wow, have you actually turned people in game?

Succulent: Two sisters! And they’re her loyal little minions now. And she doesn’t even ‘play’ with them. Very sad. Such a waste.

BloodRaven: Anyways, they’ve been my eyes in New Orleans. Since I’m part of the Vampire ‘scene’ now, with the Vampire King taking notice and all, I’ve had to play politics with some of the other groups. Annoying as hell dealing with the whining little immortal brats. Makes me wish for a nice, simple enemy I can stomp into oblivion.
