de_bel_survivor | Day 26 - Accidental [Voice]

[When he returned, a certain young demon overlord would seem almost unrecognisable at first. One such indicator was the lack of his trademark headphones. They’re still back in his apartment, previously dropped during that kidnapping last year. He’s also seemingly unaware of his now blue wings, like he used to have when he first arrived in Luceti a few years ago.

However, his behaviour was...odd, almost like a New Feathers, and his journal picked up on it without his notice.]

Brother? Where are you, my brother?

[His accent sounded old and unfamiliar. It’s unsurprising, since it’s from the time before the shattering of languages.

But he’s still lost and worried. It’s not like him to get lost so easily, when he was following his brother very closely.]

...Is this a test from the Lord? Or did a demon lead me astray?

[It’s a few of the assumptions Abel the Shepherd have in mind. They’re the most logical reasons he can think of at the moment. One of his wings twitches, and he glance at it with a curious yet baffled look.]

If so...why do I have wings? I am not an angel.

[He was surprised when he first saw them. How? Why? He can ask all the questions on his mind, but Abel wouldn’t know how to approach this. That may be why he's speaking his thoughts out loud.]

...My Lord?

[Can God hear his words? Of course He can, but will He send him a message?]

(OOC: So Kouki now thinks he's Abel. As in the Bible Abel. Memories wise, the murder haven't "happen" to him yet. Will last for about a week.)

[Another voice from this strange thing.] If I am not in Heaven, then where am I?

A whole nother world, friend. Probably unlike anywhere you've ever been. Everyone gets pulled here from different worlds, and everyone here's alive.

[The concept of other worlds is a little hard for him to understand. There are worlds beside the land he lives on and Heaven?]

I do not understand. This is not Heaven...and not the land I was born on?

Yeah... real confusing, huh? Consider a third option. ...Or should I say fourth? Almost forgot to count for that place down under!

[Because no one likes thinking about that place.]

So that would mean the Lord also create this land.

[No, not really. But it's easier for him to accept if God have a hand in this.]

I don't want to rule the Big Guy out, but honestly? It's hard to say. A place like this seems like something no creator would intend. [Only fans - HYUK HYUK HYUK]

Ah... [Outside of God's scope? It's so strange to think of.] So it came into being one day?

[~~because a bunch of people have a bright idea one day~~]

It's hard to tell. As far as I know, very little's known about the history of this world. People just... show up here, and we're stuck here. Until one day we're suddenly back home. Consider it a really long dream that feels just a bit too real.

[It's a little hard to swallow, but Abel understood the basic idea. People arrive here without discernible reasons and are stuck. Stuck.]

But can we awaken from this dream? I cannot leave my sheep alone for too long.

[And his brother want to talk to him about something.]

Yeah, but in my understanding? Pinching won't work in this case. You'll have to wait it out. But when you wake up? It'll be like no time's passed at all. No need to worry about - about your sheep.

Then they and my brother would not notice.

[...Didn't his brother want to talk to him about something? It seemed rather important from what Abel observed of Cain's body language.]

Thank you for telling me.

[Yeahhh might be a good tip to just stay far, far away from that brother of yours.]

No problem. My name's Kurt by the way. I guess I could answer any more questions you may have.

[What kind of tip is that...]

I am Abel. [Does he have any questions? Hm.] Where do people stay? And what can they do here?

[He'd feel better if he have some idea of a routine.]

Abel, huh? [Must definitely be a religious family.] Nice to meet you. People here can stay wherever - there's plenty of vacant houses and apartments. And we can really do pretty much whatever.

[Religious family. Yeah, you could say that.]

We can do anything? [That's a startling amount of freedom.] ...I will see what I can do after I find a place for myself.

Pretty much. There aren't really any laws in place... but of course there are plenty of powerful people around to keep others from being harmed.

Good luck, Abel.
