[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana lowered her guns a bit, then holstered them. If this guy was gonna try and hurt her, he would have by now.
It seemed like he didn't speak English very well, but he had communicated that his stick had opened up some sort of gateway from wherever he came from to the mansion. Viviana sighed. This wasn't gonna be easy.
"Do you know Visignis?" Viviana asked, trying to slow down her speech. Maybe the guy meant to come here, and Visignis had lived for a few thousand years. He probably knew every language Etrah had to offer.[/glow]

*Tatsuyo had never heard of Visignis, what or whoever it was. He let his hand and the stick move to his side. *
"No, I dont know. I am not here... on...... purpose."
*He struggled for the words. He knew english well, you had to to be a good buisnessman, but this was a whole new level of stress.*

[glow=purple,1,800]"Oh, shit, that's all I need," Viviana said, quickly allowing herself to be pulled into a rant.
"Last thing I do on Etrah is get killed, then I spend 50 years ruminating about what could have been with the one guy who will never die and be with me in the afterlife."
"Now I get to come back from Heaven, and meet Visignis again, right before he and his angel dad disappear and a dude with a stick literally falls from out of nowhere!"
She then caught herself. This was probably freaking out the guy with the stick, and if that thing could send him hurtling through dimensions by accident it could probably be dangerous if he was scared.
She flashed her most winning smile at him in an effort to calm him down. "Visignis is my..." she said, then hesitated. She considered him more than just a friend, but she didn't know how much more. "Visignis lives here," she decided on. "I think he speaks your language. He can help."[/glow]

[glow=red,2,500]In a burst of flame, Pyrodeus and Visignis reappeared outside the front door-shaped hole in the mansion.
"Hey, Viviana," Pyrodeus said, carrying the doors toward the hole. "Anything interesting happen while we were gone?"[/glow]

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana heard fire, and then Pyrodeus' greeting. She walked toward the door, smiling. "Funny you should ask that, Pyrodeus."
She then stood in front of the doorway, her face more somber. "Someone - who is totally harmless, I checked - kinda appeared in your place, Visignis," she said. "His English isn't very good, and I was hoping you might be familiar with whatever his native tongue is. I didn't even recognize it, let alone understand it."[/glow]

[glow=white,1,500]Taelyrn teleported into the mansion in a bright flash of light. Looking around, he noticed Pyrodeus, Visignis, and Viviana talking. Apparently, someone had arrived at the mansion while the 3 of them had been at the Forge. However, Viviana didn't seem too alarmed, so he assumed it wasn't whoever they were preparing for.[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis shrugged. "What the hell, worth a shot," he said, walking toward the doorway. He slid past Viviana, his hand gliding along hers as he passed through. He smiled as it did, and he stood before the man. Visignis had to admit, whatever the guy's other flaws or virtues were, he sure did dress to the nines.
"I am Visignis," he said, nodding at the man. "Please, use your language. I might speak it."[/glow]

*Tatsuyo looked a little relieved. this was still a very strange situation, but if he could at least speak clearly it could be resolved much more smoothly. Tatsuyo spoke in Japanese.*
"Hello, my name is Tatsuyo. I apologize if I have invaded your home. The circumstances are quite strange. I have recently acquired an antique store and in it I found this stick, which seems to have some very interesting qualities."
*He held up to stick to help clarify*

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis' jaw dropped when he heard Tatsuyo speak. He turned to look at the others. "His name is Tatsuyo," Visignis said, stunned. "He's from the plane of Earth."
He then cleared his throat. "I learned this language, but that was about a thousand years ago. I know he came from Earth because this language is from that plane. I learned it from a government official I knew back then, who had me helping build pieces for a crude planar portal. The written language is very pretty, by the way," he said before turning back to Tatsuyo.
Visignis then began speaking in Japanese, slowly at first but speaking more naturally as he familiarized himself with the language again.
"Hello, Tatsuyo. Welcome to my home. I think I can try to explain what happened to you. That stick somehow moved you from the dimension you know into this one. I don't know how, and perhaps neither do you. For now, we should simply calm ourselves. Tell me, do you speak English well? I have not used your language for a long time, but if you would prefer I can translate. In this plane no one speaks Japanese except for you and me. I believe English might be the only language used by humans in our world now."[/glow]

*Tatsuyo let the stick fall back to his side and smiled. He responded to Visignis' question in English.*
"yes, I do speak English. You have to to survive in the business world. I haven't use it .... in a while and this has been a shock. it will... come back to me."

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis nodded. "Very well," he said, speaking English again. "Take your time." He then smiled
Visignis then turned to Viviana. "Viv, this may be a bit of a shock, but here goes."
"I spent fifty years in a coma after the battle with Alginax. I had a lot of time to think about this, so even though it might seem a bit out of the blue, know that this is anything but impulsive."
"I know we only had a short time together before everything happened, and I've learned that moments of peace tend to be few and far between," Visignis said, pulling the ring from his pocket, energy literally radiating from it. "So we may only have a short time more now," he said, getting down on one knee and holding the ring up to her.
"Viviana Templeton, will you marry me?"[/glow]

SCRAP approached the mansion, crossing the grounds quickly, leading the human behind itself. It slowed as it reached the mansion itself, staying away from the doorway it had used earlier. The door was still missing, but as they approached, the machine had glimpsed a fiery glow from within the doorway, indicating Visignis' presence nearby.
Stopping at a window that looked into the foyer, the machine stepped aside, leaving space for the human to look. Dropping the volume of its voice far below normal levels, the machine spoke.
"PROCEED WITH CAUTION, ROLAND. THERE ARE SEVERAL ORGANISMS WITHIN THE AREA WHO ARE UNKOWN TO ME. MY PRIMARY TARGET IS CURRENTLY KNEELING, IN WHAT MY DATABANKS SUGGEST TO BE A PART OF HUMAN COURTING RITUALS."

Roland stepped up to the window, glancing inside, and smiling widely as he glimsped the assembled group. Pressing a button on his glasses, a quick scan revealed that, with the exception of the man with the stick, every being inside was a Courier. His smile grew.
This is fantastic...if I pull this off, I can take out a roomful! Guess it's time to go to work!
Laughing quietly, Roland reached down to his belt, grabbing one of his batons and leveling it at the girl. The one on the ground was proposing, alright. But Roland didn't plan on giving him a chance to hear the answer.
Squeezing the trigger, a small harpoon shot out, easily shattering the glass, and firing towards the female Courier. He kept his thumb on the trigger, ready to release it and start the shocks as soon as it hit its mark.

[glow=purple,1,800]Viviana's jaw dropped as she looked at the ring. She was totally stunned.
She then felt a slight pinprick in the side of her neck, followed by a jolt of electricity. She spasmed, her fist clenching around the ring as she fell, and she lay on the floor, twitching, unable to control her muscle spasms.[/glow]

[glow=orange,1,600]Visignis' face fell as he heard breaking glass immediately before he saw Viviana fall to the floor, inadvertently snatching his ring on the way down.
He saw a wire leading from a dart in her neck out the broken window. He roared in anger as his right hand snaked toward the man holding whatever kind of gun that was, reaching for his throat.[/glow]
