[Bloody and harried, Reiko makes an appearance looking like she's shaking violently.]

Earthquakes are common, but not this common. Perhaps I should document signs of the end, in case someone else finds their particular reality may be ending.

It hasn't gotten any better?

Far from it. I have a feeling that things are only going to get worse.

Maybe you should stay here.

[a pause]

Forever.

Stay... here?

Here. On the Plane. Where everyone else can reach you. Until someone can find some way of fixing it, that's your best bet, don't you think?

I've asked a few times if there are people who know much about this sort of science, but have gotten very little by way of a positive response. At this point, I'm not sure if there's anything that can be done.

With that tesseract I encountered, it seems time doesn't stop anymore. Even if I was here all the time, it wouldn't put a halt to the downward spiral.

Maybe your world can't be saved right now, but that doesn't mean you have to go down with it.

I'm not sure how I won't...

Talk to the Twins. Dealing with 'em sucks, but maybe you can get a free pass to somewhere else. Another world.

I need to be present in order to sustain the migration portal.

... That doesn't sound like something you can blow off. [He sighs.] I think your best bet is to find a new way to keep it from spreading. Pretty sure you already tried, but if anywhere has a solution, it's the Plane.

I'll track Roxas down and see what he thinks. If he's okay with it, then maybe-- just maybe-- we can find a way to help. I mean, Roxas and I deal with this sort of thing on a daily basis. I don't see why the principles would be any different, y'know?

... I wish that you had been here when I first arrived. Perhaps this could have been staved off much earlier. Now there is little hope.

Just because I'm fashionably late doesn't mean the party's over.

[He gives her a careless wink and a grin.]

We'll figure it out.

Very well. I'll wait to hear from you, then.

[He salutes her and drops from the Plane.]

[Of course she's hurt but only thinking about doing her job. Kuhn is not surprised. But he is insanely, insanely worried.]

Reiko...

[He doesn't even know what to say. He just stands there, wishing he could make it all better somehow. ...Good job, Kuhn.]

... yes?

What... happened? Is happening? Whichever it is!

There have been some rather substantial earthquakes. It's dangerous to travel in certain areas.

That much closer to the end, huh? [He closes his eyes for a moment, and sighs.]

Where are you hurt? I can get some bandages or anything you need from my world, it won't take long at all.

I'm not sure you'd be able to attend this. I'm trapped under rockfall.

Dammit... Why can't I go to your world? What the hell use is this place? [So now he's blaming the plane, apparently.]

Are you alone? Does someone at least know you're in trouble?

... it's odd that you can't. I remember speaking with someone from here while I was at work, once.

I have advised the others of my situation. When things are more stable, I will be assisted.

Yeah, but even when that happens, they can't see your world like you can't see theirs. Right? [He shakes his head. What a complicated mess.]

But you need assistance now, dammit...! [He clenches a fist, frustrated.]

Interacting doesn't necessarily require seeing. There's a translation between worlds to ease perception, right? It'll just look like something else.

There may be other people in danger at this moment. If my condition worsens, I'll advise them of it. Until then, I will survive.

I... don't know. It's never happened to me. You're probably right, though.

[He starts to protest that she's more important, but... really, in the end, he'd do the same thing. So he backs off.] Alright. ... Be careful though, Reiko. Please.

If I remember correctly, I was apparently sitting in a monastery for the person I was speaking with...

I always am.

Bloody hell.

{From the many experiences of getting cut, chomped or otherwise maimed by his job, Fix has gotten pretty good at basic first aid. So he drops off the Plane, returning with (Pen's) first aid kit}

Shit, I hope reality isn't ending. It'd kind of ruin your day, wouldn't it?

{He was about a step away from trying to help her himself, but remembers that he doesn't actually know her, so he offers the first aid kit} Wish we could meet under better circumstances, but hello, name's Felix Castor.

It's been ruining the past few months, in all honesty.

Reiko. Are you new? Perhaps I've just been busy.

Relatively. I've been here for a bit...Can't be more than a month, I would guess.

{He scratches his head lightly} Though, your reality, um, ending, does that have anything to do with the Plane or is that...normal where you come from?
