"They're interesting. They respond. They know our thoughts…" Aibhe muttered.

Joe smiles. "I understand if y'all want to make "Joe Mama" jokes, I promise I'm used to it. Can you tell me about yourselves?"

Joe smiles. "I understand if y'all want to make "Joe Mama" jokes, I promise I'm used to it. Can you tell me about yourselves?"

"Well, I fell from the stars a bit ago down to earth, lived in a library about a month, then Orion tried to kill me for a while, then I fell down somehow to here."

Joe smiles. "I understand if y'all want to make "Joe Mama" jokes, I promise I'm used to it. Can you tell me about yourselves?"

"I exist, im currently in college.. I think… And my name is Aibhe (sounds like abby). A-I-B-H-E."

The thing shrugs.

"I'm what I am. There's no arguing with that, at least." it grins.

Joe smiles. "I understand if y'all want to make "Joe Mama" jokes, I promise I'm used to it. Can you tell me about yourselves?"

"Well, I fell from the stars a bit ago down to earth, lived in a library about a month, then Orion tried to kill me for a while, then I fell down somehow to here."

Joe's bright eyes widen. "Holy gauchos. How was that?"

Joe's bright eyes widen. "Holy gauchos. How was that?"

Andreas rubs his back. "Well, for one, its hurts. Also, it seems I always land on my back when that happens, which isn't fun. Tip: Aim away from brick houses, grassy ground is a far less painful spot to land on. I'd do it again though, far better place than where I came from."

"Hm. Noted!" Joe says with a nod.

"Alright! No need to snap. Just trying to help." Aibhe glanced at the readers again.

Caladium growled at Aibhe. “Who are you looking a—“ they glanced at the readers as well. “Oh.”

Joe smiles. "I understand if y'all want to make "Joe Mama" jokes, I promise I'm used to it. Can you tell me about yourselves?"

"I'm Maria, a Chilean forest elf hybrid. I just started my, hmmm third year at college?" she glances towards the readers, "Is that correct?"

Andreas sighs and looks up at the sky, wondering why everyone here was either insane, or probably just a little more insightful than himself. He stares harder, trying to see through the veil, or whatever these guys were seeing that he wasn't. He glanced over at Joe, thankful that they (at least so far) seemed to be relatively in the dark as much as he was.

Aibhe turned away from the audience, back to the group. "So does anyone (she glanced at the audience again) know why we're here?"

Maria smiled, "I would very much like to know that."

The thing looks at Andreas, Aibhe and Maria and grins.

"Generally, from what I know, these things usually go down the route of slaughtering masses of demons and bad guys."

"So…" Maria said, "we slaughter you?"

"Hey I'm not a bad guy. Besides, you can try, but I'm not sure you can succeed." the thing laughs.

"Fair enough, I suppose," Maria said, "So, we've gotten to know each other, what do we do know? Can I kill you guys?" Maria pulls out a 7 inch knife, crusty with blood.

The thing laughs. "Doubtful. Poke me with it and you'll have your answer."

"Fair enough, I suppose," Maria said, "So, we've gotten to know each other, what do we do know? Can I kill you guys?" Maria pulls out a 7 inch knife, crusty with blood.

Andreas sighs. "One: Please leave me out of any immoral bloodthirsty killing sprees. 2: No thank you. I think I'll take my leave now, if you guys are just gonna go around killing some innocent people. Besides, I've got far better things to do then senseless killing. Though…. We should probably figure out where this is, cuz its different from where I came from."

"I'd be up for killing bad guys. And causing havoc. but no slaughtering of the innocents." Aibhe said, sitting down.

“Oh fine,” Maria said, “the killing will be for bad guys only, can we get on with this now?”

"Where are we headed?"

The thing shrugs.

"No clue!" it says cheerfully.

"Alright….. North?" Aibhe pulled out a compass

Andreas sighs deeply. These people were totally crazy. Even if they had higher powers of perception, they were also crazy. Like…. at least Orion had a reason for the murder…. Actually that made it worse. Because those weren't good reasons… At least these guys seem aware that they're bonkers insane. Maybe. Andreas stands up and walks away, through the forest, somewhere that was not this crazy pit of madness.

"You'll get loooostt!" Aibhe called after Andreas.
