11: Lucid Dreams (Neal II)
One tingle and a sudden light later Neal found himself in front of a dude with big-ass horns.
He also found himself wondering if they were actual horns or someone just had used the super glue – whichever it was, he thought they were absolutely cool. I also want horns, Neal thought as he run his fingers over his forehead and pink hair, hoping he would magically find a pair of extremely intimidating and bad-ass looking horns there.
He didn't. What a shame.
The dude with horns, however, had a confused expression as he looked at Neal who was checking himself for horns – not that he actually knew what Neal was doing. Or maybe the Dude was confused by the fact that Neal didn't have horns.
It all came down to the horns, Neal supposed.
- Greetings, Otherwordler, - the horny dude (And, Gods, didn’t that sound wrong!) said after the confused expression disappeared from his face. This, however, was the exact moment when confusion appeared on Neal’s own face. Otherwordler - the word echoed again and again in his mind, while finally trying to understand how exactly did he even get here.
Think, Neal.
So, he was waiting for the exam when a bloody pentacle appeared out of nowhere. (Did any of the other students noticed it?) Then there was a light, and then he was here. So, if one looked strictly at the course of events, it would appear that pentacle somehow maneged to over-rule the laws of physics and transported him here. A teleportation? A travel trough the worm-hole? (Fallowing a white rabbit would have been a lot better.)
Was it really the bloody pentacle’s fault? Was it not some kind of feverish dream before an exam? Then again – he was called “Otherwordler”, a word that obviously suggests his coming from an entirely different world (where there were no dudes with actual badass horns).

A pentacle. Otherwordler.
Neal was a man of science, so to speak, he certainly didn’t believe in things like sorcery and magic, but, no matter how he looked at it, this reeked of some kind of summoning ritual.
Well.
Shit.
- Wotcher, Summoner, - Neal called with a lot more cheer than he actually felt. Well, there went his degree in mathematics, his girlfriend, and the half-eaten pizza back in his dorm room.

The Designated: Out of Control
It happened quicker than anyone would have imagined. Multiple hurricanes were one thing. People had dealt with that in the past. But, like kids playing dominoes, one thing crashed into another. Areas affected by hurricanes needed resources all along the Gulf and East Coasts drew rescuers and resources away from other parts of the country. When wildfires lit up the Pacific coast and mid-west, those areas were already understaffed. Driven by hurricanes in the Pacific basin, uncontrolled wildfires burned through towns, destroying everything in their paths. Across the Pacific, Asia didn't escape. From the Philippines, across China, into Indochina, and Bangladesh and India. Typhoons and cyclones pounded the coasts and far inland. Widespread flooding forced millions from their homes and across international borders. Mexico was hit hard and thousands died in mudslides as Katia slammed into their East Coast. The refugees fled north and west. Rumours started that hundreds of thousands were headed for the US border. Instead of running out of steam in the southern US, several hurricanes tore up the eastern seaboard, devastating cities and renewing their strength before veering east across the Atlantic. Maria and Ophelia veered east and slammed into Europe, reaching as far as the Netherlands and Russia before finally dissipating. After that, too many weather stations were offline to provide any form of co-ordinated information or warnings. Wildfires in Portugal burned ahead of the storms, fanned by hurricane winds. They sparked wildfires leapfrogging across Europe, beyond any one country's ability to cope. Already uneasy from multiple terrorist attacks over the summer, anti-refugee groups seized the opportunity to stage protests across Europe. Some turned violent as they clashed with police forces. Several governments declared martial law to quell the rioting and enforce evacuations along the path of the storms. Rumour and speculation overwhelmed facts. Unrest spilled over into widespread violence. Then sickness broke out in the displaced populations. Within a matter of a dozen weeks, tens of millions died. In the coming winter months hundreds more would follow. The Designated Project was activated.
