Welcome to Gaia! ::

Slash would be lying if he said he was looking forwards to this visit. He had met Tyche, the God of Extraterrestrials once before... And it obviously left an impression on the demi-god. One that left him not wanting to return. The whole ship was just eerie. Not in the spooky sense. In the 'I'm going to die in the name of science if I spend another second on this ship' sense. Still he was ordered to go and go he shall.

Slash waited on the outskirts for the one Pockettu who offered to join him. He wasn't going to complain. Maybe Tyche wouldn't experiment on them this way. ...Maybe.

Slash gave a nod to Veilendal when he approached. "Yes, everything. The God is extremely wise and what I believe to be very devious. The whole ship is a walking death trap if you ask me." He sighed and fixed his bangs a bit. "Let us go quickly." And with that he took off into the air, leading the other towards the crash site.

It wasn't long before Slash's warning would come into effect. As they got closer to the Crash Site the ship seemed rather... desolate. That was until things began to spring into action. The ship's auto-targeting sensors already pegged the two airborne intruders. Two shots were fired. Not of bullets though. Large nets aimed directly towards the trespassers!

[Tyche does not take well to trespassers anymore xDD Hoshi broke his last nerve of patience I think lmao xDD]

Slash turned to look back towards Viel as he spoke, which turned out to be a grave mistake. As Slash saw Viel get tangled up in a net, out of the corner of his eye he found himself in the same predicament. Bad feelings usually meant bad omens. Why couldn't he have listened to what his gut was telling him the whole time? Things would have never have turned out like this. He needed to listen to his own omens. He wasn't immune to them after all. The net began to go over him and he quickly shot his hands up, grabbing onto what he could of the rope. The demi-god's wings flapped furiously to keep him in the air as his tail attempted to light the net on fire... Which proved pointless. Soon enough the demi-god was spiraling down in the same rapid descent of the other follower. "...Try to keep calm! We have to untangle ourselves!" Easier said than done...



An alarm went off inside the ship along with a message to go see what had stupidly wandered into the restricted area. Carina perked up and hopped to her feet. She was all too eager to see if it was one of these Earth creatures called 'birds'. A snap of her beak and she was off, scurrying outside to go see what waited them.

[Haha true, true~ xDD Tyche simply doesn't like visitors o3o; I've grown to this conclusion xDD]

Slash continued to try and burn the rope, hoping to find a weak point in the material. It was proving useless as their descent continued. Just when he thought the flame was finally starting to melt through the material there came the hard reality of... well ground. Slash landed in an ungraceful thump, groaning a bit as the world spun. "...This... could have went so.. much better.."

--

Carina scurried over, showing no signs of fear of what she might find. Her eyes were wide as she sniffed at the air. She smelled fire. Smoke. Ash. Tilting her head she snapped her beak a bit and got closer. Two figured laid in heaps of pain from their landing. She couldn't help but laugh a bit at their situation. "Off limits." She cried out, knowing far too well the warning was extremely late.

Slash shook his head in a 'no' fashion but groaned a bit. It really hurt to move. "No, we're alive." When his ears picked up the sound of movement, he frowned a bit. "...For now." He commented, mostly to himself.

Carina snapped her beak again and leaned down closer to see the two caught in the nets better. "No need signs. It is common knowledge. Unauthorized visitors are not welcome~!" She chirped from the mouth on her arms. "Hmm.... why are you here?"

Slash pushed passed the pain and began to untangle himself. At first he tried to do so without bringing too much attention to the action but when he met no resistance he quickly untangled himself and moved to get Viel free as well. "...Goddess Hexyina has sent us to speak with Tyche."

Carina tilted her head. She looked completely lost for a moment but didn't make any move to show hostility. "Uhhmm. Lord Tyche isn't accepting visitors at the moment."

Slash growled a bit. "I understand and normally would respect his want for privacy but another God has been assaulted making this the second God in such a short time span. With all the little goodies your Lord has within that ship there, its only a matter of time before the Cursed set their sights on you guys. So please... I am requesting an audience with your Lord."

Carina was going to respond but soon held her head. She almost struggled with something internally before awkwardly and almost robotic in nature, standing back up straight. Her head tilted in a stiff and awkward motion as if her body were moving against her will. "We can hear your bickering from here. Speak." The voice was both Carina and Tyche's speaking at the same time.

Slash felt chills down his spine. It was not normal for a God to 'possess' their follower in such a manner. Was it even possession? He didn't really want to find out. He took a moment to calm his nerves before speaking again. "...Lord Tyche... I am Slash, a demi-god of Goddess Hexyina. I have met with you once before. My Goddess has sent me here to warn you of the Cursed. They have attacked the God known as Venezia, and prior to that the God Antarmurr'ss. It is only a matter of time before they attack you as well."

Carina remained in the awkward pose, her head tilted still. Her eyes could move freely but the rest of her was unable - unwilling - to move. There was brief panic in her eyes that flickered away as Tyche spoke through her once more. "We are aware. There is something more."

Slash grimaced a bit. This God was annoyingly arrogant at times. Like he was better than the universe itself. "...Yes, you would be correct... If you could give us some aid---"

"Negative." Tyche's voice chimed along side Carina's. "We have noticed a pattern. Those involved with Cursed get attacked. Those who stay clear, do not."

Slash growled a bit. "None of that is true! They'll go after whomever they so desire! Ever think they're knocking off the stronger Gods first? This way the weaker ones have no one to run to?"

"Plausible. We still see no need for concern. They are like you. You are like them. The process is natural selection. Only the one able to adapt shall survive." Carina twitched a bit but remained under her Lord's control.

Slash usually had nerves of steel. It took him long to anger compared to other hellhounds but this... this was even starting to make his blood boil. "And what happens when they come after you...?!"

Tyche grinned darkly from where he was stationed inside the ship. "We welcome them." And with that Carina fell to her knees. She blinked a few times and looked around, testing out her limbs to see if they were once again under her own will.
