The man landed on his feet, back in The City. Growling to himself as he looked up to see the portal that knocked him here closing. "Goddamned bastard! Just- gggrrrrrr! DAMNIT!" He'd throw the bladed end of his polearm into the street and then pinch the bridge of his nose. "I wasn't gonna let him die, goddamnit, I had the means to treat him, he was gonna be fucking FINE! If my otherself was that weak then death was gonna claim him anyway! If I get my hands on whoever interfered..." The man paused and let out a sigh before pinching the bridge of his nose and pulling his weapon out the ground.

"No point... no guarntee I'll ever return to that timeline or that world... whatever. I'll go take on some requests and get my mind off this whole thing... it's pointless to dwell on a missed opportunity. Maybe I'll go see if Shima has jobs. Been a while since White Knight and Orange Mercy did a public team-up, could be good for both of us." Rain would walk down the backstreets, hands in his pockets and still muttering angrily to himself as he did. Whatever the case, he would think about his alternate self for a while.

Magic huh? That world could be just as dangerous for The City...

The knight would stare down this doppleganger and swallow hard while he could feel a bead of cold sweat going down his forehead. Still, something needed to be done or the two of them would just remain in this strange lock... at least until the other tried something. "Hey... Who are you and what are you doing here?" Rain would call out while shifting a bit back. Retreat was an option, not a good one, but it was there. The other Rain would become expressionless as he understood what was being said. That was odd since he had no device to understand languages, there was no point in talking to The Sweepers or understanding them, nor was their a point when everyone spoke the same language no matter where he went... in the City. This... this was something that could be very useful to him. "I am Rainald Highwater also known as the Orange Mercy, a Color Fixer. Though I suppose that means nothing to you. I came here by accident through a warp phenomenon using... well, another term that meanings nothing to you. However, before I return to my home, there are a list of things that need to be done. You're either going to help me with them, or you're going to lose an arm," He'd threaten in a cold tone.

Rain felt a chill come over him. Same name, same appearance, and judging by what he said... a form of strength similar to his own. Retreating was no longer an option... but surely, if this is a version of himself... they could be reasoned with, right? They even said they needed help before returning home, so... everything should be okay... right? "What do you need help with?" He wasn't going to try and entertain the threat or counter it, what the other lacked in magic, the knight knew he would make-up for in terms of combat.

It was while walking that 'Rain' stopped dead in his tracks and spotted... himself? Across from him, simply sitting in an open field was the knight, staring up at the sky and breathing deep. "It's nice to be back home for a bit... but I should be returning to those I care for soon. I bet-" He'd pause when he felt another presence and looked over.

Instantly, the mage would nearly jump to his feet and wield his staff defensively while the man with a similar appearance drew his polearm and took a battle-ready stance. Rainald and Rain? gauged each other... and unfortunately for the knight, he could sense a large gap in their abilities. 'This isn't a creature like the reports... it... it doesn't have the ability to shift it's appearance... and that weapon... why does he not wield that over a plain one? What's going on?'

The man would glare at Rain. "Oh... I get it... I'd seen the reports from Limbus. A different version of myself, my other timeline huh? I didn't think it'd be such a drastic difference or that a version of myself would be lacking. Shame. Still... I could use this." The two would remain at a standstill. Neither wanted to strike first and both were trying to figure out what should be done.

A rift, one that looks like it was a rip or tear in the world opened up and out stepped... Rain? It was odd since the normal portals that opened looked less... Dangerous? Aggressive? Perhaps it was just a misfire of the spell... Though the outfit he was wearing... And that ominous weapon on his back... It looked like the limb of a creature and when comparing it to his normal weapon, it just looked wrong. The man would step away from the portal before dismissing it and pulling hands out of his pockets. "So... this is what life's like outside the city? Better scout out the area for possible threats and get to work on the report."
