Welcome to Gaia! ::

Zira grinned. Nothing like sewing the seeds of a little chaos, even if they would take a while to bear fruit. With that thought, she devoted her full attention to having an absolutely splendid time.

((Faaaade to black. God, we've got dirty characters))

// Alright, I'm not giving him a profile, because I don't intend for him to be a lasting character. If people like him and want him to stay, I'll make up his profile. I'm just giving him a cameo of shorts since someone *cough-cough* insists on seeing other characters in here. //


ENTER from UNKNOWN


A while after both Zera and X had left the realm, someone else decided to pop in for a visit. A small black and blue vortex opened inside the large realm, and a rather interesting figure slid out of it. A rounded and almost cartoon-like skull with a large blue jewel in the center of it's forehead. Potruding from it, were two black feathers, and one large fluffy blue feather. His outfit was black and blue...and oddly shaped. A large black and blue cape clung from his thin neck. The shoulders were two large blue balls, the chest was rounded, and the elbows and gloves were round. His waist and arms, however, were black, quite thin, and tube shaped. Under the waste was a large jeweled belt, with feathers hanging off of it like his forehead. Attatched to the belt was a full black and blue...well, he hated to call it a skirt...which nearly hid what seemed to be a single wheel.

The man...or, being...stood there a minute and looked around the almost half destroyed realm, then gave an amused whistle. "Well DANG! No wonder I had a headache! Look at those columns...man X had some party. And he didn't even think to invite me? I mean, considering who I AM and all..." he said, then crossed his arms and looked around.
A second later, the black abyss and blue flowing energy gently faded and began to reveal the large room it was hiding. The man's boney face scrunched a bit when he could REALLY see the damage done to the place. "Jeeze...no wonder I had a headache...Seriously, does he have any idea how hard those columns are to come by? I mean really, they just don't make Hellenistic Period columns anymore! Especially not ones with reinforced energy field cores."

With a small tisk, he set off to find X.


EXIT to NEW YORK CITY

// Whoop, forgot to put that the two had left. I'll leave a duplicate or something. xp //

There was no sign of X anywhere in the large palace. There was a bit of his magical signature within, but not enough to be the real deal.

It didn't matter to Spectre whether or not he was there at the moment; he knew that X could hear him, could sense him, and would be able to sense what he was going to do. A great outpouring of power surged from the Spirit of Vengeance, all but completely destroying X personal realm. The Ghostly Guardian knew that he had others, and he was going to do the same to all of them.

The woman sighed deeply and floated over to a large pile of rubble to sit down for a while to think. This was really the first time she'd done this. The whole contemplating, strategy....stuff. So she figured she'd better not try to multi-task zero gravity while doing it. She'd never multi-tasked before either. So she found herself a decent place to stop and think, and carefully sat down. Tossing her green cloak out from under her, then pulling her long dark hair away from her hood to make herself more comfortable.

She really did need to get herself a new outfit. But she'd worry about her own personal style later. Right now....she needed to figure out what she was doing. She could only think about one of two things, and she decided that the whole X thing took the most priority. So....what was she going to do about it. He was far too strong for her to do anything about it herself. So...she'd need to find some help, right? Strong help. But from who?

She could find Cantata since X had an affair with her. But...she doubted that X would really listen to the girl. He'd gotten rid of her so that he wouldn't feel any real attachment or any of that kind of stuff to anyone. So....it was safe to say he wasn't going to listen to anything a potential romance had to say to him.

Zira? Zira was a better choice. But there was that whole random power thing she had. Even if she could get Zira to help, there was no telling what would actually happen. She could probably end up making things worse for everyone. Plus she couldn't feel her around anywhere anymore. So....who knows where Zira had run off to now.

Spectre? No. No, no no nonono....It was a good idea, and he would be a great help. But....she could very well not EXIST anymore if she tried to give him tips on how to get rid of X.

Edel? She was housing both Alcina and Xiao. But....she also had a number of other people she was entertaining. No....she had her hands far too busy. She could likely exhaust herself....then X would probably kill her or try to absorb her. Like he'd been doing randomly lately. He could already fight off the Spectre and he was gaining more power? Really?

That new Mars...alien girl....thing? No...now she was just pulling for strings. X would probably end up absorbing her. She would certainly look appetizing to him at this point if he bothered to pay attention to her. So turning his attention to her would not be good.

That one guy that the alien Mars lady had sent to that one.....zone...thingy. No....still pulling at strings. He'd absorb that guy too.

The Sorcerer? Find the newer one and try to help him? Try to find the one that's stuck fighting off that big angry....thing? Ugh. Did she even know where they were really at? Could she get back out if she just crashed that little party? Probably not.

So.....what was she going to do? She felt like she was leaving potential people out, but it would still probably be her pulling at strings. She needed something though. She needed some one or powerful thing to help her.

…..she also needed to get a new word. “Thing”.......yeah. That wasn't going to work for very long. Thing......what a weird little word.

[Enter from SHIELD]

A bright flash of silver light occurred near the female-X and Cantata, and a beautiful, voluptuous woman appeared near them. She had long red hair, and was more or less a dead ringer for Scarlet Johansson, but perhaps surprisingly she was dressed rather humbly: A white office shirt, a black skirt that went to her knees, and black high heels. However, she was also radiating with a truly powerful mystical aura, roughly the same level as Doctor Strange-- the original, not the new one-- so she was certainly a potential ally.

She looked around at the destroyed realm, a frown on her face.

"Oh dear," she said, and it was hard to tell if she was being sarcastic or not. "It appears I've arrived late to whatever party occurred here. College frat party gone wrong or something?"

"X, X..." Sandra muttered. So far as her writer knew, she had not actually been told of who X was. But she had a hunch, as not many people had the power to make their own realms of existence...

"I assume that this 'X' is the one that caused the Merge in the first place." Sandra said; it was a statement, not a question. "Yes... I felt the shift when it first occurred. So much energy... But I never had time to investigate it, really. But I digress... I am Sandra Roberts, though my alias is 'Sylveria'. May I inquire as to who you are?"

She snapped her fingers, and her office clothes were replaced by a beautiful, sparkling silver dress with matching heels (though there was a very short, blink-and-you'd-miss-it moment where she was wearing nothing at all; I'm just, y'know, throwing a bone for Fem!X with that...). This outfit seriously showed off her physique (yet another bone. I'm shameless), and was her "work outfit" when dealing with magical matters.
