[k] @Oberon Vortigern Huh, so I'm a Ghost Liner[line 2]a Servant now.

I was already planning on lying through my teeth all the time anyway. [k] @Oberon Vortigern ...That aside, this is all because Britain gets flotsam floating in from the outside. [k] @Oberon Vortigern For someone who's supposed to hate Proper Human History so much, Morgan really seems to have a paradoxical and unhealthy love for it. [k] @ [lr]And so, the Faerie King was born. [k] @ As luck would have it, this was right when the Child of Prophecy's poem was becoming the hottest topic in faerie society. [k] @ The king already knew a good deal about Proper Human History, but this time, he made sure to do his homework extra thoroughly. [k] @ He knew the story of King Arthur, whom Morgan was wary of. [k] @ So he decided he would make use of the faerie of paradise[line 2]the Avalon le Fae who had appeared somewhere in Britain.

[k] @Oberon Vortigern You guys are falling inside an endless hollow right now. The Abyssal Worm's thorax is infinite. [k] @Oberon Vortigern You see, there's no destination here. No endpoint. Everything it swallows just keeps falling. Forever. [k] @Oberon Vortigern And since it goes on infinitely, there's no entrance or exit. Once you're swallowed, it's over. [k] @Oberon Vortigern It doesn't matter how strong or accomplished you might be. Nothing can escape this hollow. [k] [charaFace A 3] @Oberon Vortigern Not unless you kill me. [k] @Oberon Vortigern But nobody's going to wake up in here.[sr]They're all dreaming of falling.

[k] [charaFace A 4] @Oberon Vortigern Frankly, I think you would've been happier that way, too. Staying conscious in here will just make the rest of your short life hell. [k] @Oberon Vortigern Think about it. Even after you die, you're going to keep falling forever in this endless darkness. Isn't that horrifying? [k] ?1:...So what, nobody's going to save us? [charaFace A 3] @Oberon Vortigern Of course not. Care to see for yourself? [k] ?2:That would mean you're stuck in this hell, too. [charaFace A 7] @Oberon Vortigern True, it does. But now that the Abyssal Worm has manifested, there's no avoiding the world being destroyed. [k] @Oberon Vortigern So, in here? Out there? Doesn't matter to me. My life was already hell. [k] ?! [charaFace A 1] @Oberon Vortigern Anywho, there's nothing you can do now. You can't even perform simple summons in here. [k] @Oberon Vortigern There's been nothing like this place in human history, so you won't find a single Heroic Spirit record here. [k] @Oberon Vortigern So how can you summon something that doesn't exist? [k] [charaFace A 3] @Oberon Vortigern You'll either go mad from the endless falling... [k] @Oberon Vortigern Or eventually you'll close your eyes and slip back into dreaming about falling. [k] @Oberon Vortigern So, which'll it be? If you decide you'd rather sleep, just let me know. [k] [charaFace A 12] @Oberon Vortigern Of course, if you still want to save the world, you don't have any time left to think about it. [k] @Oberon Vortigern Now that the British Lostworld is gone, we're back in the standard timestream. [k] @Oberon Vortigern You said Chaldea observed the planet disappearing in twenty-four hours, right? [k] @Oberon Vortigern They were right. You haven't even got a minute to spare at this point. [k] @Oberon Vortigern If you want to save the world, you'll have to fight me. If you fight me, I'll kill you. I don't know about you, but that doesn't sound like a great way to die to me.
