Juno would awake somewhere- somewhere that felt cold, but not bitingly so. The wall he was sitting against was much colder though, and made of rough stone. Heavy metal chains were latched around his ankles and attached closely to the wall, so he couldn't move too far away. The room was dim, but not pitch black. A migraine was fading from his mind as he woke, and the tingling was gone. He had full control over himself again. His cane could be felt, resting on his lap. Footsteps approached him, casually and slowly. "Hoyseksagu." He said. His voice sounded like the final voice that was chanting in his head before he vanished. @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

Even as the droning faded, Juno could still hear his heart pounding in his ears. He wrapped his hand around his cane, reassured in its presence- but nothing else was familiar, was it? Had he passed out, and... for some reason, woken up in jail? He tensed at the approaching footsteps, and made an effort to straighten up his sitting posture, as much as he could. "Wh- what's going on?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

The other person in the room didn't speak again, only placing their palm on Yeonaixho's forehead. Electricity danced across his mind and gave him another small headache, but it didn't feel physically painful. "Can you understand me now?" It was the same voice as before. The hand stayed on his head. @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

Yeonaixho yelped as the person put their hand on his head, but slowly nodded. "I- I can understand now." He immediately followed this up with, again, "What's going on here? Where am I?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Believe me when I say it, you are in space. The vast expanses of the universe reaches out above you. You cannot see it, but I could impart to you the feelings I get when I gaze in to it, if you wish." @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

"Space?" Juno exclaimed. This was only making his panic worse. He put his hands and his folded cane close to his chest. "No- no. You can't- you're lying to me. I'm not in space- I can't be-" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"You are very much in space, and if you don't want me to touch you again, there's nothing I can really do to prove it. You'll eventually meet others that can confirm this for you." He said. "Anyway. Regardless of if you believe me, I am Nok Rakin, but you may call me Your gracious co-host, his excellency Rakin, Caller of the Abyss.. Or simply Rakin is fine. You accepted my invitation to this by being alive and also being interesting." @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

Yeonaixho didn't seem that convinced, but shut up about the space matter. If Rakin was to be believed, he would meet others. And they'd tell them. If that actually ever happened. "Wh- okay." He kept shaking his head in disbelief. "This- hey, that's not fair! That's not how invitations work! I'm- I have to go to work!" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

Yeonaixho ran his hands through his hair. "No, no no no." He kept repeating. "Jymaiyri, Minerva- you have to send me back. I'm gonna have to miss- whatever you wanted me here for. I have to go. Please. Please." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Oh. You misunderstand. Jymairyi was invited as well, and, well, I couldn't possibly leave that baby behind. So they'll both be here soon enough." He chuckled. "Not that you'll get to see them. But you can go on with the knowledge that they're also here, just out of reach." @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

"I just want your company here! Not with me- no- but for this event. It's a very special event, you see, it's not so often that the greatest species in the universe is about to reborn. And this event is the perfect exciting prelude for it. Two sides- fighting to the death every day! Numbers dwindling by the hour- oh, we find it so exciting. A lot of others do as well." @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

"Well I don't want to be part of this!" Yeonaixho protested. "I don't- fighting to the death? I can't fight! I'm- and you said my baby is here?" @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"The baby will not be fighting to the death. We did not exactly intend on it being here at all.." He said. "Sadly, you don't have a choice. Even without you fighting, you will be useful. Having a second healer will be quite ideal, things might get a little rough. I assure you, your participation will help keep Jymairyi alive longer, so you'd be best to play along." @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

"We are much more powerful than anything your justice system can stop. We are not even in your solar system anymore. Good luck calling for help." He laughed.

Yeonaixho wrung his hands together- at least, he could still feel his wedding band around his finger. What could he ask for? Would he need his money or his keys or his government ID anytime again, when he was going to die here? Instead of answering, he just let out a pathetic whining sound. @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽

"Use your words, dear." He said. His hand rested on top of Yeonaixho's head again. "Tick tock. Not that you had much on you, but I figured you'd want something to remind you of home." @innsjo | juno🌻/jymaiyri🌿/minnie🌺

"Can I have-" His mind blanked. "My- my keys? To my house? And my wallet? It has my- my ID, and my credit card, and- and some change, is all. And my health insurance." @Mads|Madison📱+Aldreda🔥+NPCS👽
