(!) Julian Julian: Hey Julian: I know its early and idk if youre up yet but i cant sleep Julian: That thing in the other world really messed with me Julian: I wanna go back Julian: I want to help save Ezra Julian: But I know I cant go in alone and I bet Solomon wont let me in anyways Julian: so Julian: Can we please go back today? Or tomorrow? Julian: I think i can do it this time Julian: Confront myself and all that, yknow Julian: just let me know (!) Robin Robin: Good morning! I hope I didn't wake you up? Robin: I was wondering if you'd have time today to go into the portal with me? Robin: I have some ideas of how I can help, even without powers Robin: And if we can confront my Other Self, or whatever she is, maybe it'll help with waking up Ezra Robin: Even though I know Solomon said he's possessed by a whole bunch of spirits. But it'll be a start Robin: Please message me back when you read this! (note: You can choose whether to go with Julian first or Robin first. I'll write them both out here starting with Robin.) You tell Robin you'll meet her at the ruins in an hour. You tell Julian you've got other plans for the day. He seems a little disappointed, but he accepts it.

Grey Springs - Abandoned Factory

When you arrive at the Ruins, Robin is already there, accompanied by Solomon. He's in bird form, and she looks quite uncomfortable, even though he's keeping his distance. Solomon If I bother you so much when I'm like this, I can be human, you know. Robin "I know, but I should get used to you like that. This is a good opportunity to get over my fear." She's clenching her fist tightly to her chest. When she sees you, she relaxes a little. "Yon, you're here! I brought some things." She rummages around in a small bag she has slung around her shoulder. She pulls out a small book. Robin "I brought a pocket bible. I know Solomon said these things are technically not demons, but still. Just to be safe! And in case that doesn't work..." She puts the book back, and pulls out something far larger. "I also brought a kitchen knife." Solomon He lets out one loud caw. "I suppose that's better than a pool cue!"

Other World - Entrance

You make your way inside. You follow Solomon to the mismatched door, though you think you would be able to find it on your own now even without his guidance. Robin follows close behind. She has put the knife back into her bag, but keeps one hand inside of the bag to ensure she can pull it out just in case. When you get to the door, Solomon stops and turns around to face you. He looks serious. Solomon "Okay, before we head inside, I have to warn you. I don't know what it's going to look like inside. It won't be like it was last time you were here. This is your Other Self, and the moment we pass the threshold it will target you." Robin "Okay." She takes a deep breath. "I remember the things she said last time. I think I can handle it." Solomon "I can't convey how intense this is going to be. Your Other Self will confront you with a side of yourself you don't like. Don't get angry, don't attack it, and most importantly, don't deny it." Robin "I know who I am. I'm ready." Solomon's face relaxes a little and he quickly glances over to you, as if to ask if you're ready for a fight in case one does happen. You give him a small nod. He turns around, and opens the door.
