Message: <blockquote data-quote="Hammerhead" data-source="post: 3090922" data-attributes="member: 73">Blah blah blah...why does everything with her have to turn into a damn speech? She could sound morally outraged over a candy bar. Ryan/Anika pauses for a moment, picturing the scene, and smiles. "Thanks for the healing. I'm sure you wouldn't find it so serene if you had to watch everyone you know toss themselves headlong into mortal danger just because they think there won't be any consequences. Anyway, Anika and I will be having a private conversation."He heads over to Anika/Mark, speaking in a low tone. "Okay, so I'm here waiting for the rest of you slackers, bored out of my skull, and I decide that with the chaos caused by Kelly's little press conference, I should check in with my family. Of course, I couldn't ever do so as myself, because if it seems like I care about them, they become big targets for all of my enemies. But disguised as you, I could check in. So I say the prayer, wave the hands, and create the portal.""But," Ryan explains, pausing for dramatic effect, "This portal was pitch black. It could have just been night there, but I was cautious, so I touched the black portal with finger. Whoosh. I get sucked into some kind of blackness. It felt like I was floating in some black void, but I knew that I wasn't alone. They hurt me, then started speaking in some weird language, something like Swedish, and finally asked me in English where 'the conduit' was. They confirmed it was you, and stated that they desired you to return your role.""By the way, when I say 'they,' I never actually saw anything. But I heard different voices. They were loud and angry, but their sentence structure was pretty primitive. Still, they freaked the hell out of me...I've added them to the list."</blockquote>
