If you'd rather these two join another thread just let me know!

A pair of wireframes are wandering about, too, she'll find. Enoch and Lucifel, from their clothes. Their hands are clasped, and Enoch's body language is tense enough that he might as well be clinging to his arm instead, if it wouldn't hamper their movement. They seem to see her in the distance, though, and approach slowly, and eventually, Enoch breaks from Lucifel to run, forcing his companion to run to keep up with him.

"Saber...?"

((ooc: Don't worry about waiting up for Lucifel unless he's directly addressed or until his player's available, she's given me permission to handwave him being with Enoch here.))

It's fine! The first one is more or less done. I didn't expect this many people responding here. XD

"Enoch?" she calls. She had been watching them for a few moments in shock. It'd been so long since anything but the wind blowing had caused movement she had been certain she'd been hallucinating. But then one of the men broke off from the other and called her by her title and she knew--just knew--she had not finally lost what was left of her sanity and ran up to him.

"Enoch!" she calls again, skidding to a stop as she's about to collide into him. Even if she is nothing more but a ghost here, passing through things is unpleasant for her, suffocating almost, and she does not want to test how it feels to pass through something truly living.

Enoch comes to a halt as well, a bit in shock at meeting someone on their dead world. He doesn't even notice the feeling of being too large for his body has diminished.

"I...we...a portal suddenly opened, but it wasn't only us two who went through..."

For the moment, his eloquence has failed him.

"I know. I have seen others," she says, letting him and his companion catch their breaths, "I told them to look around for a few moments more in case anyone else wandered here. It appears I was right."

"So many of us must have been sent to other worlds. I doubt Ruana would do this; it must be Zo's work." He glances around at the wasteland, uneasy.

"But I wonder why? Are we meant to do something here?"

[no_longer_a_king]

"I do not know. If this is Zo's doing, perhaps he did it so that we might be able to find each other or to reinforce our numbers should we have to face Ruana?" That was the first thing she could think of.

"He could have also done this to allow us to escape in some way?"

[warriorscribe]

"Escape..." In these bodies? He was feeling the pressure of his body being too...large? Too small? Hard to say, when the body is his own.

"Reinforcement, likely...she's taken our powers, and those with real bodies..." Well, they can't have them taken so easily, now can they?
