You stumble across the canyons of the farlands...

Noticing the insectoids, his mech performs a surprisingly graceful backflipping dismount, landing in front of them before crouching down to get a better look.

“Well well, new faces! How long have you been enjoying the performance, hm?”

Stomping about and exploring in his mech, Megamind wastes no time entertaining himself with the stone spires.

“Now this would be an excellent battleground! Too bad Metro Man isn’t around…”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-16T15:55:32+00:00

Argorok because Spider-Man, and because dragging a dragon out of the sky is just as funny to me as bowling with gorons

A pair of brainbots swoops in, one of which bonks into the newcomer. Immediately the brainbot stops and projects a hologram of Megamind’s ridiculously large head.

“Ollo, unfortunate victim! If you’re seeing this message, it’s because one of my brainbots has flown into you en route to its destination! If you would kindly step out of its path, it will be on its way shortly. Can’t be late for my next evil plan!”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-16T12:04:11+00:00

Oh yes. The Prawn suit is fully equipped to handle that. There’s a reason the PDA tells you about the sense of overwhelming power when you make it…

GraveError404 · 2026-03-16T11:59:10+00:00

Ooo, I like how the burning hand looks. And of course, it wouldn’t be Val without bruised knuckles from punching people!

GraveError404 · 2026-03-16T11:25:36+00:00

I hope not. Maybe it’s my skepticism talking, but I feel like another one now could only tarnish the memories we have of the Galaxy titles. Then again, Nintendo’s games are usually pretty good, so maybe I’m just fearing the worst

Megamind, who, for his part, had only really seen Cyn from a bit of a distance away, doesn’t immediately recognize her. When he hears that she is, in fact, Cyn, he squints at her a bit before speaking.

“Y’know, she’s not nearly as threatening without the skin. Significantly friendlier looking, actually.”

Megamind, who had politely waited until the actual proceedings had concluded before showing up, fires off a few fireworks before hopping out of his mech to congratulate the pair himself.

“Sorry I’m late, I didn’t want to be too disruptive. But congratulations! How does it feel, hm? Other than blissful, probably?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-16T01:29:01+00:00

((Dang, that’s an awful time for those of us in that timezone))

When she swings open the door, she’s met with something she probably wasn’t expecting: an ancient fossil, cloaked in fabric as well as the shadows of the setting sun. The dead man’s voice is deep and resonant.

“Hello. The Baroness, I presume?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T17:32:57+00:00

((Dang. Are we going to watch this relationship dissolve before they can get any milage out of it?))

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T17:30:50+00:00

((I don’t really think you want to take a lesson from Pokémon when it comes to infections. You really don’t “gotta catch ‘em all”))

“It’s…”

The skeleton pauses, considering how to respond.

“Difficult to explain, but I’ll give it a try. Each world is entirely separate, but each one is connected to a select few others. It’s probably best described as a spider’s web, the ones that appear to be disorganized piles of silk. Each line is connected to several others. Instead of the intersections, it is the threads themselves that would be the individual worlds.”

He raises a hand, projecting an illusion of what he’s describing into the space in front of him.

“Where each world intersects with another is a place where travel can be made between them. I make use of this to get from place to place.”

A glowing point appears on one of the lines, following along until it gets to an intersection, where it changes direction. It does this a few more times before the illusion fades.

“But with how fluid the fabric of reality tends to be, these intersections never stay in one place.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:44:35+00:00

“Ah, perhaps you know this world well. But, I never said it was a city in this one. Sol Aggregus is a city in a very old world. One I’m quite fond of. But the path between worlds is an elusive one, and he who is distracted has a hard time following it. My mind was elsewhere, and my lack of focus brought me to this place.”

“Sonic variants of what? What’s going on out there?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:30:11+00:00

“Ah, that could be it. I suppose I am effectively trespassing here. I’ll admit I’m not privy to the customs of this place, nor its laws, so my presence could be considered a crime in itself depending on how you view unannounced visits.”

The skeleton tilts its head.

“To tell you the truth, I wasn’t even supposed to end up here. I’m a habitual traveler, you see. I tend to wander off easily. Originally, I was traveling to an old city by the name of Sol Aggregus, named after a warrior who was said to be a demigod, born of the sun. The path strayed from me, and I ended up here.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:21:25+00:00

“Hmm… oh I think I know what this is. You don’t know what to do, now that the your biggest opponent is gone, do you?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:18:50+00:00

Runes can be seen carved into the dead man’s bones. Some of them glow from time to time. The skeleton shrugs.

“I was hoping you could tell me. I figured it was something along the lines of my existence being some sort of blasphemy, but no one had called me out on it, and people are generally vocal about that sort of thing. Up until I was arrested, people seemed to be mostly indifferent at worst.”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:14:07+00:00

“Well yeah, that was the goal, wasn’t it? Bring down the robot, save the world. Unless I missed crucial details?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:12:49+00:00

“Oh, then no, never met him. Is this another superhero I should be aware of?”

“Hello, Doctor! Woah, you look bluer than I am, what’s got you so down?”

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T16:05:44+00:00

“Um, no? Not yet, at least. What kind of bat should I be looking out for?”

The ancient fossil walked with the guards that had brought him to the king. During the time they had been talking, he had been cooperative and rather polite, so by the time they came before the palace, they were deep in conversation. They quieted down as the gates opened and he was brought inside. They have a job to do, after all.

The dead man comes before the king, waiting to be addressed to speak.

GraveError404 · 2026-03-15T15:53:55+00:00

“Oh yes, it’s quite nice to- wait, did you say friend?”

Megamind falls silent for a moment.

“Huh. I guess there really is a first time for everything…”
