After helping DG up he smiled "I'm thoth... but people seeom to be more at ease in my Zeru form" he looked around happy to be in the normal world again.

Shocked, and reminded of the many times his mistress had snatched him out of the air, reprimanded him, then set him on her shoulder, the Daemon hesitated a moment and then pointed off into the trees. "She's over there."

"Indeed." It didn't take long for Adam to sprint across and locate her by scent. The air smelled of cooked flesh.
Adam looked down at the other Demons and at the seared body.
"You have quite a hive here little one." Adam clicked while lifting the body over one shoulder and walking back to the house. "Were we so lucky as to get stranded somewhere with our own kind..." Adam began murmuring and hissing something about Tyranids again but made a large smile passing Crix and the strangely dressed man.
"Now if we could only find where that Doctor went off to..."

BlackMetalCrix "Alright...well...that happened." Crix started walking back in to tell somebody to deal with the nude colossus and ended up bumping into the newcomer.
"Sorry I...wait who the hell are you?!""Dark abyss below, you just keep running into new people eh Crix? I dunno if I like this one as much as the last...not big and smashey." He looked up at him with a grin that wore easy, and a look in the eyes like he could see right through you. "Aaahh, my good man, If you could be so kind as to tell me....." he stopped and blinked, but only once. "Oh. You both are...familiar....never mind" And he walked right past.

"Both?" They said in unison, before Crix shook his head violently as if to shake off Nexus.
"Wait I've never even seen you before...the hell are you talking about? And why are you dressed like that..."
"He does seem vaguely familiar...huh"
"Wait WHAT?! You think you know him? HOW?"
"Oh nothing I'm just babbling, I always do that. Nothing important at all. Wanna go mug somebody!?"
"For once NO, I don't! Hold up!" Crix grabbed the mans shoulder. "Have we ever met?"

"Ahh...." He stiffened when touched
"Please, unhand my shoulder, Crix. And well, as to why Im dressed this way, well, I should really modernize again...."

Crix let go quickly remembering not to offend someone who could potentially have information.
"Sorry...I'm just confused. If you could tell me how you might know me though Id be grateful."
He gave the mans outfit a looking over.
"Yeah...might want to change into something else if your gonna go into town or anything."
"I don't like him" Nexus hissed in Crix's head.
"Get back inside, go into town, go dig a ditch and fall in it do something else besides talk to him." The normally playful or annoying tone to Nexu's voice was gone...he seemed serious.
Crix felt his eye throb under the eyepatch, but kept his face from twitching.

The smile never left his face
"Ah. How times change, and yet remain the same no? Perhaps I just know of you by reputation..."
He bowed to him
"Mortalis, at your service..."

"I wouldn't really know...nice to meet you though."
"Mortalis...well I'll be damned."
"Whats that?" Crix asked angrily of himself. "You keep mentioning things and then droppin it, its pissin me off."
"Shut up, he said he probably only knows you by reputation, maybe he works in the criminal underworld like you."
'DOES HE LOOK DRESSED FOR THE CRIMINAL UNDERWORLD NEXUS!?" Crix caught himself about to yell again and stopped.
"I'm sorry but this damn thing in my head wont ever shut the hell up."

"Oh yes. That must be annoying. Certain...steps...can be taken in some circles to silence such things. Ah, if you dont mind me asking, where am I, and about what century is it?"

"Was that some kind of threat?"
Crix held his hand over his right eye until the pain subsided.
"What the hell was that?!"
"He dare suggest there are ways to silence me. Get those thoughts out of your head right now Crix."
"Whatever...oh and its the 21st century. This is Deathgod's house." Crix spat in the direction of town. "And that is Barton."

He seems to be doing some mental math
"Ah. Thank you, my good man. Try some sacred lotus seeds for that pain by the way. Now that weve been introduced, what, pray tell, was the name of that "thing" in your "head" as it were"

"Lotus seeds...Ill try that thanks!" Crix made a mental note to buy some next time he had the chance, which thoroughly pissed off Nexus.
"WHY AREN'T YOU LISTENING!? Hes probably just some snake oil salesman, all lies! Hes got a brother in the lotus business Ill bet you! And dont even think of selling me ou-"
"And my friend here," Crix said pointing to his own head, "Is Nexus."
"SONUVABITCH!"

"Ahh yes!. Good, I'll make a note of that. Hello Nexus, I'm sure you are, at this moment, either cursing, or advocating my dismemberment, because names have power. But not to worry." He remained smiling. "Well, I should probably look for who either successfully called me, or who im suppose to talk to or what not. Unless of course, it was you."

Crix had to laugh because Mortalis had hit the nail on the head. Nexus was fuming incoherently.
"Wasn't me, I'm just a mercenary. DG is in charge of everything, hes in the house." Crix said pointing. "I think hes tired from moving it through the shadow plane...and I should get going because I got stuff to buy in town. Ill see you around" With that Crix walked off, still wondering how the hell Mort knew him and enjoying Nexus' frustration.
