Apr 30 19:57:49 <Sandwitches>	-----------------------------------------------------------------------
Apr 30 19:57:51 <Sandwitches>	Some time later, Kamina finds himself in a white medical room, standing before a large circular tank, containing a massive amount of green gel...  as well as a certain battered looking Blonde Beastman.
Apr 30 20:38:30 <EtchESketch>	Kamina crossed his arms. "Certainly looks like you." He walks up towards the tank, looking up at Viral. "Not quite sure how well the bruises suit you, but you're as ugly as ever." His lips pull into a mild smirk.
Apr 30 20:39:52 <Sandwitches>	His eyes snap open and a familiar scowl crosses his lips under the mask on his face.
Apr 30 20:42:35 <EtchESketch>	"So how the hell did you end up in this mess? Protecting a bunch of humans seems... counterproductive for you." Kamina steps over to one of the walls, leaning against it
Apr 30 20:44:58 <Sandwitches>	His Eyes narrow a bit...  but the scowl softens ever so slightly as he nods.
Apr 30 20:51:11 <EtchESketch>	"Change of heart, I guess?" Kamina steps up to the tank once more, arms still crossed.
Apr 30 20:53:05 <Sandwitches>	The scowl shifts into a smirk...
Apr 30 20:58:38 <EtchESketch>	"Nothing to say, huh? Fair enough." Kamina unfolds his arms. "I don't like you, and you don't like me. But neither of us have any idea where or when the hell we are. Sound about right?"
Apr 30 20:59:47 <Gulping>	An orderly comes into the room to check on the patient's status, and raises an eyebrow. "Wow, he's conscious already? Even with the regen tank, he should have been out for longer than this... Astonishing..."
Apr 30 21:00:59 <Sandwitches>	The beast man looks to the orderly, and raps his knuckles against the tube.
Apr 30 21:04:57 <Gulping>	"Oh? Ah... Right, sorry." He checks over the vitals, and nods. "Well, you're stable, but don't strain yourself. Seriously, even with how fast you've healed, don't. You were literally on the brink of death when you went in." The gel drains out pretty quick, and the vat opens up, releasing Viral. The orderly hands him a hospital gown and removes the oxygen mask.
Apr 30 21:08:23 <Sandwitches>	Viral slips into the gown and looks back to Kamina.  "You're wrong.  I know exactly where we are.  I don't know how it happened, but I know where..."
Apr 30 21:14:26 <EtchESketch>	"You do?" His first instinct is to grab Viral by the shoulders. "So where are we?"
Apr 30 21:15:45 <Sandwitches>	"Earth."  He smirks.  "I suppose you don't understand the relevance of that though, do you?"
Apr 30 21:20:00 <EtchESketch>	"Earth..." Kamina frowns a little. "It's a bit too... green to be the Earth I remember..."
Apr 30 21:21:26 <Sandwitches>	Viral *LAUGHS* "Where you were from wasn't Earth, you idiot!  Your homeworld was a Barren Wasteland!  Earth is supposed to be *SO* much worse than that."
Apr 30 21:24:52 <EtchESketch>	"Worse than Beastmen riding giant robots constantly trying to murder you and your friends?" Kamina's head tilts slightly
Apr 30 21:26:01 <Sandwitches>	He smirks.  "So much worse.  If you were on our earth, you'd be dead in minutes."
Apr 30 21:31:45 <EtchESketch>	Kamina scratches his head. "That what folks said about the 'Barren Wasteland'..."
Apr 30 21:35:01 <Sandwitches>	"The Planet is unable to sustain life.  The atmosphere is nothing but poisonous fumes and acid rain."
Apr 30 21:41:36 <EtchESketch>	"Sounds like you got the wrong Earth..." Kamina straightens up. "In any case, you and I are stuck here until we can figure out how to get back."
<Sandwitches> "You still want to go back?"
<EtchESketch> Kamina darkens slightly. "If I can find out if everyone's ok, then that will be good enough."
<Sandwitches> "..."  Viral notes the darkened Expression... and sighs.  "You find whats more or less a Paradise for yourself, and even now you keep worrying about all of them, instead of relaxing here, in the afterlife you earned."  He laughs.
<EtchESketch> Kamina smiles again, looking up. "You have a point. They're in capable hands..."
<Sandwitches> Viral raises an eyebrow, but doesn't say anything.  "You humans..."
<EtchESketch> "That said, this is one hell of a paradise we're in. Explosions, invisible machines the pilot can't find, giant crabs exploding into coins, all we're missing is the moon turning into a giant Gunman or something like that."
<Gulping> "That's wildly unlikely. Too many people live there these days." The orderly is still there, checking over the charts. "That said, the universe has a tendency to be insane."
<Sandwitches> "Yeah... seems like the perfect place for you."  Viral smirks.
<EtchESketch> "So? What're ya going to do now? Last I saw, your gunman was pretty much trashed."
<Sandwitches> "Enkidu is gone.  But I'm not."  Virals grin mellows.  "And I have a bone to pick with that bastard in the Black Arm Slave."
<Gulping> The old man just sighs softly, and packs up. "When I was a child, I was told that the dinosaurs had died out. When I was an adolescent, they revealed that not only did that not happen, but they were different than anything we had previously thought and they also wanted to kill us. When I was in college, men younger than me were fighting alien invaders in titanic machines with powers out of a comic book. When I was a grown man, the
<Gulping>  world ended, and half the population died for the ambition of selfish men who couldn't stand the idea of humanity outliving them. Seven years ago, I saw the moon turn from a barren void to a garden in the sky. Two months ago, my granddaughter and her best friend, who has scales for skin and feather-like hair, told me, at great length and with very little breathing in between, all about their field trip to a lunar wildlife preserve."
