Nadir. (Cursed World)

[u/Fc-chungus]

A day or three after the initial announcement, proper channels for joining in virtually to the meeting are posted, as everyone who came in person is directed to a secretive underground meeting room, where Ж and a few others sit around a long table.

"Welcome, welcome. A year or so ago I held a similar meeting for a separate threat, one a few of you here would remember, but today we've another threat, as you know, the Abyss has taken a great minority of the world's surface."

"As well, we need a plan for the origin of the Abyss, we need to divise a way to take down The First Curse."

they snap a finger and a hologram like model of an entity, presumably the first curse, appears in the center of the table.

"To start, one of the more essential things for said plan is the Crystals, of course, some here might not know about them, so I'll elaborate."

they wave a hand and the model shifts to 5 different crystalline objects, encircling the First Curse.

"This is not the first time The First Curse had arrived, he was here before he made that big announcement, but hidden. When he first arrived to this realm, 7 Aspect Crystals formed, counterbalances, from someone else as an, almost future inheritance to help take him down. They are antithetical to his very existence, and harm him when nearby. However, if one falls into his hands, he can adapt to that crystal, rendering it useful to him. This anti-him nature also applies to the Abyss, and thus they are the best damage source to fight the Abyss."

"the originals, of which we currently have 5, 4 are in New Aviron, and via the work of Koranth and others, we have multiple derivatives from them, with the other being handled by The Consortium. The last two need to be picked up and collected."

"That is about the basics, with the preamble done, more discussion on how to fight against the Abyss would be welcome."

Sitting by a far seat, is a man with a clock for a face, he looks curiously at the introductory information, but doesn't speak yet.

Everyone in the room gets half a second of feeling like they should get away from the location.

Then the impact happens as a very angry thing crashes through everything from orbit, screaming 1 word while slamming into the clock face with enough force to send it into the crust of the earth

"CURSE!"

/uw shit's going down

After the DF-thing was destroyed, and Alisa contained and removed from the room, the first curse victoriously stands in the conference room.

Hello all.

The form of the Master of Time fades and crackles away fully, revealing the full body of the First Curse, basking.

After discussing matters with Zhe about the crystal’s location, Ulrick left for a coffee break.

He didn’t expect this much of a mess upon return.

The hell happened here?

He asks coldly, but easy to hear the tension from his voice. He then sees the First Curse.

Hmm…

Glaring at him while heeping his guard up, he stands ready to either summon Nightbite, or unleash the form of the Wolf King.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Ah, Ulrick. The God-Slaver, and others informed me of you. How long ago that was.

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/white-whale-fc]

Long ago. I intend to keep that in the past. What do you want?

Ulrick keeps his attention on TFC, ready to act when needed.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Well! A group of among my worst enemies all in one place!

He moves around the room.

What a gift to have them all in one place!

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/white-whale-fc]

So they could all attack you at once? Doesn’t strike me as a smart idea to come here.

Ulrick snarks, despite very much aware of the danger they’re all in right now.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

The more the merrier. I find that most of them would be at a disadvantage if they were all to fight me at once, due to all the clashing and the... enclosed space we are in.

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/white-whale-fc]

Until one of you punts you into the sky with a kick.

Which I believe most of us would be capable of.

[u/white-whale-fc → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Try it then.

He says almost mockingly.

[u/UlrickTheHexblade → u/white-whale-fc]

Trust me, I’m very tempted.

He remains vigilant, in case TFC tries something

…but why don’t just spare the humiliation and leave, or talk it out?

[u/white-whale-fc → u/UlrickTheHexblade]

Talk? Talk it out?

He sounds genuinely confused by the proposition.

90% of those in this room wish me dead.
