It was relatively late when Kaleb came across a boy who looked to be in his teens, attempting to detach the face of a deactivated ruin guard. The boy hadn’t noticed him just yet, as he seemed very focused on the task he was working on. Whatever that was.

The god watched silently, having taken on a different form. Watching Asa was a man in purple robes, holding a staff made from ebony wood with an orb of static on top. Metal accents of platinum made up the topper (a hand holding the orb) and base of the staff, with two extra grips near the middle for close-quarters combat.

@thetruescholar once again left her necklace at home, and then left home. There’s stains of more blood splatters on the boxes of her garden plants. It doesn’t look like Loki came in, and her motorcycle is still where she parks it, so who took her and where?

She’s not anywhere in Sheznayah either...

Kaleb sighed. Nat? Gone? Again? What were the odds. He didn't do as much, just stole her bike. One of his incarnations knew how to ride, so, he took their word. Get the bike out, get it started, and get driving.

Kaleb did add SOME flair, though. He rode down a hill and immediately sent himself flying the way up the next one, switching out his style, and the bike, for something a lot more... "angel of death in leather", per se.

The god leaped from the bike in the air, his coat turning to leather, his boots growing spurs, and a hat appearing in his hands. As he fell, he was caught by Natalia's transformed bike, now turned into a horse made of steel, fire coming from its nostrils as a trail burned behind him. Had he any apparitions of bulls to chase, he could certainly scare someone straight.

But for now, he would be the only ghost rider in the sky... but he made his presence known to Teyvat, and would be the flame to Natalia's moth no doubt.

At a sharp corner in the wall, smoke slowly starts to pour out from it before the head and body of a hound of Tindalos emerges. Immediately Kaleb can spot a glaring oddity on the hound, that being a young teenaged girl riding on its back. The girl was wearing a dress that was mix of Slavic sarafan and the habit of a nun. The girl also wore a long black lace veil that was draped in a way that covered her eyes. She looks around and frowns slightly. “Ah, Tartarus, I believe that thou hast brought us to the wrong point in time.” She says softly

@crossroadsglade

Kaleb looked at the newcomer, multiple blades appearing in flashes of static.

"Who goes there, Tindalosi Rider? Who do I have the privilege of threatening? You have strayed from your time. You're not to be here."

*It took some time to figure out how to make contact with Kaleb, but once Aether and Clover did they did not look happy to see him.

-@honoraryknightfromthestars, tagging @belladonna-ismyfavoritecriminal (just in case)

Kaleb wasn't exactly excited to go out and see folks. He had regrets to deal with right now... but they were knocking on his door, so, he might as well. Kaleb made himself known, appearing... without the flicker of static.

"...well, I'm here. What seems to be the problem."

[kaleb-doran-pariah-god]

As the sun rose over Snezhnaya, a winter gale blew over the town, rattling signs, waving flags... and making a hanging corpse blow in the wind. Near the center of town, a structure of steel had been erected overnight, a metal pylon with an outcrop pointed towards the Tsaritsa's palace... and hanging from the steel outcrop was a corpse. The corpse of the missing Il Dottore, his mask nailed to the structure, along with a note engraved into a steel plate on the tower.

FROM THIS STRUCTURE HANGS THE CORPSE OF IL DOTTORE SECOND OF ELEVEN FATUI HARBINGERS, THEIR MEDICAL RESEARCHER DOTTORE WAS A CRUEL BEAST, CREATING LIFE WITHOUT LOVE, AND TREATING THEM AS MERE OBJECTS WARNINGS WERE GIVEN AND DISREGARDED, SO JUDGEMENT WAS WROUGHT LET HIM BE AN EXAMPLE TO YOU, BE YE ABYSSAL, FATUI, OR ANY OTHER FORM OF PLAYER IN THIS GAME STEPS TOWARDS DAMNATION COME WITH WARNINGS, LISTEN CLOSE TO THE AIR JUDGEMENT IS NOT SOMETHING I DOLE OUT LIGHTLY, FOR I LOVE MY CHILDREN. BUT TRANSGRESSIONS SUCH AS HIS CANNOT GO UNPUNISHED.

and anyone else

*Something was off in Liyue. Xiao hadn’t felt a disturbance like this since the end of the Archon War. And he wasn’t about to wave it off. His mask adorned and spear in hand, he decided to check the source of this disturbance.*

-@unfallenyaksha

Well, most obvious was the missing Irminsul. Second-most obvious was the fact the sky seemed... bigger, as if opened up. Third was the strange, dark metal ring in the sky that seemed to warp around the center. Fourth was the fact that looking at the ring... it seemed to be... an eye? An eye... staring back.

[kaleb-doran-pariah-god]

I.... I am not The Heavenly Principle 's child, nor am i from this world... I am just a normal angel...

The seraphim silently kept their distance from Kaleb, as they were still afraid of him.... They also hid their wings away. As a sign that they wouldn't run away or try to escape.

The seraphim doesn't want to anger The Elder god/Kaleb, as that would not be a good idea...

- fractured seraphim.

"So, child of YHWH... why are you here? Lose your way, little lamb? I would assume it easy to follow him to his new domain. Why do you stay? He didn't tell me he'd give me an angel, I had to make my own."

Kaleb looked the angel over, expression going to a neutral. He didn't seem afraid of attack, obviously since the angel was easy enough to squash in case of assault. But there was also the fact the angel wasn't looking to run just yet.

[kaleb-doran-pariah-god]

I really don't remember anything... i don't have any other names, not that i can't think of.

The little fairy was telling the truth about not remembering their name. Or maybe they never had a name to begin with.

The little fairy was getting nervous... They were hiding something from Kaleb/The Elder God.

The little fairy 's form began to glitch suddenly, and it actually revealed the little fairy 's true form... The little fairy was actually a descender/seraphim from another world.

The fairy looked taller than before now and their wings looked like a seraphim 's wings.

- a little moon fairy?

The god's face shifted slightly, expression now a slight frown.

"...you need to keep better focus. Your illusions slipped, Child of YHWH."

Kaleb groaned as he got up from the ground, cigarette flipping to the right side of his mouth.

"...or Celestia, or Aria, or Sonnet, or Canon, or whatever other gods roamed or do roam the mortal coil. If you are of Big G, he left. Ashamed by his children twisting his son's words for hate. I was The Lamb, and the slaughter of my only family opened the seals. We sit in a world after judgement now. But I assume you are not of the big man himself, no, you're clearly of this world with your disguise. So let me be plain. Cut the shit, WHAT are you."
