"Barely, but yes." Mackenzie answered.

"As in they would have been showing up within 12 hours." She added.

"Which is... most definitely fun. Thankfully it was stopped, though. I like this planet."

Forgive, O Lord,
my little jokes on thee...

"...I like it, too." he admitted.

"The greenery and animals here are really nice." he went on, showing his softer side.

Mackenzie might have hated him, and he hated her in response, but they understood each other. And they were able to tolerate each other when they were worried about the planet they called home.

He then sighed, shook his head, and slowly got to his feet.

"I suppose we should be going." he said.

"Though I suppose someone's going to be coming to check on me?" he asked.

great big one on me.

"Oh probably. After everyone is done reeling from that wave from you." Mackenzie commented honestly.

"Were you actually the one at fault for that crash, by the way?" She asked, her voice curious.

"Honestly. Because... I think the cops might be amazed you're alive." She added

He shook his head.

"No! I wasn't." he insisted.

"I was rammed into by... uh..." he stammered. "Well, that went by so fast..." he admitted.

"But I remember sirens... and I remember police shouting at someone... saying they were getting away." he continued.

"I think a criminal was escaping and blindsided us at top speed."

"Fair. All I know is that your car rammed the bus I was in." She told him honestly.

"Fw dead. I was one of the lucky ones." She added before they heard a knock on the door.

"Enter" Mackenzie then said, to which the one knocking did. It was Alicja.

"Mackenzie, might I have a few words with ... uhh..." She paused, looking toward the male.

"Got a name?' She asked him as Mackenzie just laughed, figuring she'd leave that to him - if he could remember it - and left.

"...." he was silent for a moment, before watching her go, and looking at Alicja.

"Yeah." he said.

"This time around, it's Salem." he told her.

"Yeah, name's Salem." he repeated, thinking about it and nodding.

"Looks like you and the people here saved the world."

"Salem? That's not a common name." Alicja commented.

"And we do what we can." She added.

"Anyhow, is there anything to note regarding your revivial?" She asked. "Like, do you feel all right? Anything out of sorts? etc."

"I feel fine." Salem responded.

"A little out of sorts, and I think I have the details surrounding my death mixed up." he went on.

"I don't remember the bus..." he admitted.

"But I know that I was blindsided. Pretty sure I was, anyway." he said further.

"Also, have a massive headache."

"Yeah, as far as I'm aware, you were hit by someone at about the front wheel, drivers side." Alicja told him honestly.

"Which sent you careening into an oncoming bus as they just blazed past, not even slowed down much." She added.

"Can't say I'm surprised you don't have much in terms of recollections of that. I know your memory is damn good, but you're still, mostly, human." she finished with as she pulled a small packet out of a pocket, and a water bottle from the other, before setting them down on the end table next to him.

"That should help with the headache."

Salem looked at the water and the packet, before shrugging.

He grabbed both and consumed the contents, before setting the empty containers off to the side.

"Well, then." he said.

"I just need to calibrate my presence factor..." he mumbled, closing his eyes for a moment. That was when Alicja noticed that his 'aura' was MUCH more faint now. It had been strong when he was dead, unbearable when he woke up, much better when he was conscious, and now it was on the same level at Mackenzie's. Which was still strong, but now much more bearable.

"Looks like you made it in the nick of time too." he said.

"Good. I like this place."

"... You and Mackenzie are alike in one way, both of you have one hell of a powerful presence." Alicja commented.

"And yeah, she kept stressing how the clock was ticking and such. I'm quite relieved that we were able to do it in time." She added.

"Considering the fact that I like this place too." She finished with, with a chuckle as she started to check him over, make sure things were good as far as she could tell.

Salem was still and silent as Alicja checked him over, and as far as she could tell, he was fine. Mackenzie had told her what to expect, and, with that in mind, she found no abnormalities. Nothing beyond what was expected from him, anyway.

He then sighed, and shook his head.

"...really glad I was brought back." he said.

"Tensions are rising between the two factions." he told her.

"As it stands, Mackenzie and I are the dam holding back the flood."

...and I'll forgive thy

Alicja sighed lightly as she stepped back from him, having checked everything.

"She'd said the same thing over the past week or however long she's been here." she commented.

"Makes me thrilled that you're alive." she added with a light chuckle.

"you're good to go. I think the bossman wants to alk to you though." she continued.

"Cool." Salem replied.

"Thanks." he said, getting up from where he was, and making his way to the door,. He paused at it, though, and thought for a moment.

"...right, I don't know where I'm going." he mumbled, opening the door.

"I'll need someone to take me to the boss here." he continued.

"This place may as well be a maze to me."

"That's why I'm here." Mackenzie stated.

"Let's go." She added before just turning to head off, especting him to follow her. She knew where she was going, after all.

"This place IS a maze until you learn the layout. So yeah, I figured you'd need a guide."

"..." Salem was just silent as she said that.

"Right." he muttered.

He then started to follow her, looking around as he did so.

"...so..." he mumbled.

"You brought me back." he said.

"...didn't think Ember Mice still existed, to be honest." he then admitted.

"Small numbers." Mackenzie commented.

"Mostly underground, and also near volcanos." She added.

"And yes, I brought you back." She said with a sigh.

"Had to." She added. "Since I really don't want this world to die."

"I know." Salem replied.

"And I'm grateful you did." he said.

He then paused and shook his head.

"I need to move away from here." he growled.

"Maybe move to a safer area somewhere." he continued.

"Our lives are WAY too fragile for what hangs in the balance of them."

Mackenzie was silent for a few seconds after Salem said his piece.

"And where would you go? Where do you honestly believe is the safest place to live?" She asked him.

"Especially since we both know that we're eant to die at a specific point in each life in order to protect this place. So you ain't go Too terribly far, otherwise that could be thrown outta sync."

"Damn it all." Salem cursed after a moment.

"HOW has this realm not been ravaged by our respective sides yet?" he asked her.

"This has happened before. One of us has died before we were supposed to." he said.

"This entire realm hangs in the balance of 2 VERY fragile lives." he went on, before pausing.

"Though, come to think of it, the writings of that Lovecraft fellow pretty much paint that picture, anyway." he realised, thinking about it.
