picking up the tiny form he begins to leave the bloodsoaked battlefield behind.
Though he has no idea where he is or where he is going, he walks, just walks, until he is stopped by either foe or exhaustion. |
As you pause at the sensation of the cold card, your mind begins to drift, and you begin to feel the world dissolve around you into a field of endless white. |

There is silence, a void, and then, after a few minutes, a soft feminine voice that sounds a little like she's talking to you while taking a drink calls out "Who in the seven hells is it?" |

A face begins to form in front of you. It is the face of the woman from the card you were handed by Jade. Her skin is pale, very pale, as if she'd hardly ever seen a day of sunlight. Her hair is blue, no green, yes...green? "Who are you, and how did you get this card?" Your head begins to pound, as her question drives into your brain. |

"What in blazes?" he has a sensation of holding his head from the pain, but there is a disturbing sensation that he doesn't have any hands.
"Ugh...J-Jade...Jade gave me a card...your card." _________________ So's Your Face! |

"Jade? Why did she do that?" The voice sounds almost concerned now. Almost. |

There's a hesitancy in the woman, then she fires into action. "Are you holding on to her body, are you in danger?" |

finally the pounding had stopped "Yes...I've got her body, but I'm in no immediate danger as far as I can tell, but frankly...I'm a little amazed that I can tell up from down right now." _________________ So's Your Face! |

"You really can't, neither exist for you right now," As she speaks, a slim hand appears directly in front of you, "now take my hand, there isn't much time. And don't let go of Jade!" |

"Hold on." he almost whispers, though whether to himself, Jade or the woman in front of him is uncertain.
he places his hand in hers, and is summarily surprised by the strength of the woman's grip. "Am I going to be man-handled by every woman I meet?" is the last thought to pass through his mind before his world once again becomes formless light. _________________ So's Your Face!

The white shatters and dissolves around you, and you find yourself...underwater?!?!
But...you find that you can breath. You're not getting wet, either. The water is near you, but not touching you. An underwater city?
"Welcome to Rebma, youth." the woman says, formally, as a pair of guards rush to take Jade from you. |

Though at first hesitant to release Jade, eventually he puts her into their arms, though he is sure to watch were they go for as longt as he can.

though his gut rumbles in anticipation, Caleb thinks back to the last meal he had...that eggroll may haunt him.

"Fair enough, Davor will take you to a room where you can rest. I'll send a medic to tend to your wounds." The lady is being hospitable, but she's obviously far more interested in getting rid of you and dealing with Jade. |

The woman turns, offers you a pained half smile and a slight shrug of her shoulders, "A noble sentiment, and I'm sure you'll have your time with her later, but that time is not now." She turns to a remaining guard, "Davor, take good care of him." and then she's gone, moving out of the room and turning left, the same way Jade was taken.
"This way," Davor says, and as he heads out of the room he takes a right. |

watching her as she leaves the room, eventually Caleb turns to this Davor, indicating for him to lead on.

The architecture is strange. The walls look more grown than constructed, and they feel warm to the touch. Everything is in pastels, and there is minimal artistic flair to decorate anything. "This is Lady Llewella's summer retreat. You are in the kingdom of Rebma, or at least you're in territory claimed by it. Few civilized folk ever go out this far, which is half the reason the Lady claimed this land." |

"So I take it I'm not in the U.S. of A. anymore then?" he says with a wry smile.
"Well Davor, where's the yellow-brick road?" _________________ So's Your Face! |

"I don't know what any of that means, sir." Davor says, sounding puzzled as he leads you further down the hallway. |

After a few more minutes of silence, Davor finally leads you into a simple room. It's not quite a prison cell, but it certainly won't be mistaken for the penthouse of a Hilton anytime soon. A slim and pretty girl with blue skin is waiting for you, she's got a small table of surgical blades and a variety of chemicals and cloths on a pair of trays built into a cart with her. You notice the bed has what appears to be a plastic sheet over it. "Davor, I'll take him from here. Please take off your garments, sir." |
