2nd elevator (Voice)
[ Gary has spent the past few days in the clinic, recovering from the wound he arrived with.
He's already pieced together parts of the puzzle...magical castle, abducts people from different worlds, magical journals that people. That part he can totally dig, magic has been one of the cornerstones of his job for the past thirty years.
There's just one part that's bugging him....what's it all for? He's a man who finds randomness uncomfortable. True back home any action could usually be put down to "because it's the gods will" but he likes to know there's a reason behind an action and that everything can be boiled down to a system.]
Ok uh...is this thing on?
[He gives the journal a tap...he's used to talking into some of the most top of the range, high powered communication devices. You'll have to give him a moment to mentally readjust to something so...basic.]
These things aren't exactly the latest phone system or Ipad but I guess it'll do.
Alright...so this magical castle we're in.
Does it have any...you know owners or anything?
[ He asks because part of him needs to know if he's escaped The Ancient One's potential wrath.]

No ancient ones here, but have an Old One

There's nothing written that says a castle can't be a setient being.

There are texts...manuscripts which haven't seen the light of day in some worlds. Maybe they haven't been discovered yet? Maybe they have and some people feel they should be kept away from public view for the greater good?
Who knows?
no subject
[Will knew of such books of course. Once there had been many, in days long past when men lived among magic as fish swam in water. But that time was long past, and nearly all had been destroyed by the time he awoke. The Book of Gramarye alone had carried true knowledge. And once that knowledge had been within in his mind? That too had been destroyed.]

An idea has to come from somewhere right? Even ones originating from madmen have to come from something that’s been seen or experienced, even if their insanity distorts the facts a little.
[In the old texts The Ancient ones originally had seven heads, lived in a volcano and were thought to be omnipresent but as time went by and more level headed philosophers went over them the facts became clearer.
But that still didn't make the findings any less pleasant.]

Thanks for your help though buddy.

To answer your question though, no one's really stepped forward to claim ownership or responsibility for all of this, as far as anyone knows. There're rumors and stuff, but nothing concrete.
no subject
[It was like being drunk...except with lots of bleeding.]
But getting back on topic...can you indulge me with some of these rumours?
no subject
Well, there're folks called the First Gens, who've been here for a long time. From what I heard, they used to live here in the castle, but they all took off to live somewhere outside of the Dead Zone. Otherwise, the castle itself's said to be sentient. Like...it's got it's own intelligence and will and stuff. That's why we can wish for stuff, and why losses happen; it's the castle using it's magic to provide for us, and mess with us at the same time.
no subject
But I wouldn't put any money on it being purgatory. Besides I always pictured mine to be more fiery...and with more demons.
Unless you're one?
Not that I'm judging of course.
no subject
Oh no, I'm not a demon. I'm a mutant. Human born with a special "X" gene that makes me look the way I do, makes me stronger than the average person.
no subject
Don't think I caught your name kid?
no subject
Oh, I'm Evan. Evan Sabahnur.
[If Gary's up on his ancient Egyptian, he'll notice that "Sabah Nur" translates into "Seven Lights", in a tongue that hasn't been spoken in several thousand years.]
no subject
...Any Egyptian blood in your family?
[He is...despite all the technology and secret government funding he's still essentially part of a cult.
A cult dedicated to the ancient ways from all corners of the globe.]
no subject
[Meanwhile he's mentally keysmashing. How does he explain his origins to a stranger?]
I'm...umm...sort of a clone of an ancient warlord, who lived during the time of the Pharaohs. En Sabah Nur.
[i.e. he would have probably been locked in a cell under the Cabin, or he would have been in the pit with the Old Ones. En Sabah Nur loosely translates into "The First One".]
no subject
[He likes Evan…he does.
It's just quite odd knowing that back home Evan would have just been one of the facilities pets. The only interaction would have been Gary watching him on a monitor and controlling his environment as he savaged five unaware helpless teenagers.]
no subject
[Fantomex's intent, as explained to him by Deadpool was the one thing that Evan really clung to. Even though he shared genes with one of the most evil and powerful beings in existence, Evan was given a choice after finding out the truth, and he chose to live as a hero.]
no subject
Why do you call it a work in progress? I mean you seem nice enough. Does your body ever kick your ass for going against your genetic makeup?
no subject
Well, it's mostly because I'm so young. The guy who created me didn't intend for me to get woken up so young, so I'm still learning about my powers and stuff.
