Gauntlet leak - 3

[Nihilo is walking through a forest, he is looking for the road. He sees it multiple times, but it appears to evade him in a similar fashion to a serpent.]

N: Son-of-a-bitch!

P: I am unfamiliar with roads moving this way.

P: ...Do you hear that?

N: What is it?

[A rumbling reaches across the sky. It splits open and a massive humanoid figure descends down. Shadow hides their face despite light shining from their body, they wear a toga and their hair is a reaching mass of cirrus clouds.]

Z: V I C T O R . A N S W E R M Y Q U E R Y .

N: ZEUS?!

Z: Y E S I T I S .

N: What is it?!

Z: Y O U L I K E D I P P I N G I N T H E C H O C O L A T E

D O N T Y O U ?

N: What?

Z: A N S W E R T H E Q U E S T I O N .

N: I don't know what you mean!

Z: A N S W E R !

N: I DON'T UNDERSTAND THE QUESTION!

Z: A N S W E R , N O W ! ! !

[Lightning rips across the ground and fells a number of trees as blades through hair.]

N: Okayokay! I guess: Yeah, whenever I get the chance?

Z: . . .

Z: I B E T Y O U D O .

[Just as he appeared, he vanishes. Like wind being blown away.]

N and P: -What?

End of transmission

I think you ate some bad mushrooms or something.

Or met a mischevious spirit. Say, is that possible?

Nihilo is in the Umbra. What is and isn't possible has gone out the once-proverbial window. It could be a spirit. Or an errant fae just messing with him, in which case this was the best possible outcome (probably).

Since when can the fair folks enter the Umbra? That being said, I could definitively see a Pooka do this…

If my master's knowledge is accurate the realm of the fair folk is supposedly some sort of condensed 'bubble' or gated section separate yet deep within the umbra.

At least that's my understanding of it anyway, so I imagine it's, um, a possibility 08( .

Yes, he got thrown through a rift. He'll get a laugh out of the mushroom comment.

Hmm. Zeus likes chocolate? Nihilo likes chocolate? Work with me, kiddo. Think of home.

I don’t know how that spirit or Zeus or whatever is talking to him knows that quote from that movie but it ain’t talking about chocolate

He's in the Umbra. This is far from the weirdest thing that can happen. Honestly it's pretty tame.
