Tensions are boiling over. Accusations are sent flying from one guilty party to the next. After a long discussion our group of Grifters, while not unanimous, has come to a consensus. Vivy is chosen as Seteth's murderer. The group, unsure of what to do next, looks to High Luminite Sandt for advice. Right as Sandt is about to open his mouth, a strange portal opens up, and the group (Sandt included) are enveloped in a strange blue light.
When the group are able to see again, they find themselves floating in a dark void. The air is still, and the inky blackness is illuminated only by a single streetlamp, lighting up the dusty cobblestone floor.
A man leans against the pole, his face under shadow by a wide brimmed hat.
I apologize for the manner upon which I've called you all here. Time is shall we say...of the essence of a sort. Welcome to the End of Time.
Just to get to the point. What the Hooded Figure, correctly surmised as Seteth summoned was a creature of particular...power. Lavos, a parasite who has slumbered beneath the earth for millennium. Seteth sought to awaken Lavos to well...I suppose you ought to see the ramifications of his actions.
The man waves his hand and a smaller portal opens, showing the moment right before Seteth was vaporized.
{The Scene}
Seteth holds the dagger aloft, his chanting growing louder and louder. A dark purple energy radiant from his body, the ground itself seeming to decay to ash as the energy gets more intense. A monstrously large...something rises from the ocean behind him. Sauce, GOL-M, and Medusa scream in horror. With one quick stab, Seteth plunges the dagger into the whimpering Spree leader, Nadan's heart. As the life fades from Nadan's eyes, the aura around Seteth grows pitch black.
The creature behind Seteth lets out an ear-bleeding screech, and a large tentacle flies out from the mass and crushes him. It pulls away with a flash, leaving no trace of the man's body. You can almost feel a certain...sadness in his absence. The oceans churn as the creature starts to rise up, revealing a gaping maw full of jagged sharp teeth. The creature opens wide, and a seemingly endless wave of dark blue goo pours forth from the creature, melting all it lays in contact with to a thick primordial ooze.
The scene fast forwards several days, showing the ooze coating not just Murder Bay, but encroaching on the entire planet. All life has been eradicated, nothing remains of this planet aside from Lavos, who begins to feast upon the ooze it has created.
He waves his hand again, showing a familiar scene.
A figure, ever in tune with the flow of time, heads out of the Inn. They go to the Admirality's HQ and set up a meeting with an officer. As they wait, they journey to the Scrap Forge and "borrows" an Edelrite axe head, afterwhich they return to meet with the officer.
The scene fast forwards several hours, upon said figure hiding from an alien in a flying saucer. They approach the Murder Torch after the alien leaves and grabs a magazine from a fallen assassin's gun, then rushes to the campsite, just 10 minutes ahead of Seteth. They then make haste to the Dockyard and set up an alibi for themselves, their knowledge of Time letting them be certain of what is going to happen.
As the explosion rings out across the Bay, the figure is illuminated by a brief flash of light, showing all that the culprit was...
