[Area] The Lethean Dream

Nil is following where he assumes the source of the scream was by air. He scans the ground below. He has to be fast if he's going to be able to catch Omega before he can flee.

---

Meanwhile, Thoren and Schrodinger continue walking together. They don't really say much. Thoren seems to have received a great boost in energy since pursuing Raine.
Just a little ways away, the army is slowly shuffling their way forwards. Rudolph seems moderately concerned about Schrodinger, and has been since Omega showed up. He really hopes he doesn't wind up doing something rash.

Nil follows the yelling and homes in on it. He notices the falling trees and stays back a bit. He checks his sylladex. The things he found earlier are there, as well as a pistol from a previous adventure. He keeps it unloaded and puts it back away. Nil pulls out the spare set of clothes. He doesn't want to give himself away so easily. The spare set of clothes happens to be a pair of blue gym shorts and a gray Santa Cruz banana slugs t-shirt. He finds a place to hide and quickly change his outfit. He's not sure why, but the name Vincent comes to mind. He decides to use that as his alias for the time being.

Just as "Vincent" is walking out from behind a tree, he meets up with Thoren and Schrodinger. He remembers them. The angry lantern occupier and the heartless asshole. Those were some good times.

Schrodinger looks at "Vincent" a little strangely, as if he recognized him.
"Have you seen Raine? The ground's been shaking and I'm worried about her." Thoren asks with urgency.
"...who the fuck is Raine? I've been looking for whoever's been making all the noise around here."
Neither of them seem to recognize him specifically without his crystals. It's probably better that way.
"What do you mean 'who the fuck is Raine?'! Didn't you listen during the debriefing? She's the Kat we're trying to save from Zwei!" Schrodinger snaps at Vincent.
It seems increasingly apparent that something is going on that Nil doesn't know about.
"Let's just get going. We need to keep moving if we're ever gonna catch up to her." Thoren states firmly.
So they resume walking, together.

Meanwhile, the rest of the army is still a bit behind.

Nora tapped her foot impatiently... She was relatively quiet up until now, folling the group. She still didn't say anything. She was relatively miffed - to put it lightly - about the events that had recently occured. She tried to think, think about what to do now. She had an obligation to her allies here, even if she didn't know them well. This time she wasn't going to fail them. Nora takes a deep breath and strengthens her resolve, floating upwards to scan the forest.

The three seths in front can hear Raine's yelling and tree-crushing, and have come across the path of destruction left behind by her.
"Do you think Omega is behind this?" Vincent breaks the silence.
"Ultimabitch? it doesn't look like his style. He strikes me more as one of those fuckers who get really calm right before they're about to throw down."
"Yeah. I'm willing to bet this is Raine's work, not Omega. If you've ever seen her angry, you'd see shit like this." Schrodinger remembers the time before she went missing, when she was jealous of his attachment to Marin. She is not the kind of person you want to get mad, especially when she has a powerful mace on hand.
"But then what the fuck was that scream I heard all the way from the beach?" Vincent asks.

Thoren knows it was probably him, but he's not sure if he really wants to tell this new seth about it.
"It was Thoren." Schrodinger almost makes a lewd joke, but he decides he's embarrassed Thoren enough with just that. Thoren stays silent, glaring at Schrodinger.

"...so, Omega hasn't been involved around here at all?" Vincent asks.
"After his appearance over here he disappeared pretty fast."
"I swear, if I ever find that asshole, I'm going to make sure he dies painfully. Nobody tries to erase me and gets away with it." A slow boiling rage seems to be simmering within Thoren.

Vincent pulls out the captchalogue card with the bullet and looks at it for a moment. He puts it back away.
There's a lot of shit he doesn't seem to know about this situation...

The 3 seths finally meet up with Raine.
"Raine, what are you doing all alone out here?" Thoren asks, in a concerned tone.

Vincent listens to her mantra and asks the obvious question. "Kill who, Omega?"
Though perhaps he's a bit too focused on that one target to think about any other right now.
Schrodinger just stands nearby and sighs.

Meanwhile, the rest of the army is slowly gaining as they continue to follow the path past the toppled trees.
"hey, haven't we already gone this way?"
"if assmaster Raphael wants us to go in circles, he'll tell us to."
"Shut up back there. We're getting closer."
They seems to be getting slightly high-strung and uneasy.

"If that's the man you're aiming for, yes, we will." Vincent nods with certainty.

"But first, we need to get back with the group. We can't just rush that bitch, we'll get erased easily." Schrodinger, with crossed arms, looks over at Thoren, who then flips him off in reply.

"Also, we need to get your body back. At least if he attacks you then, you'll only die. But I don't plan on that happening any time soon if we put together an effective enough strategy."

The army can see the smaller group somewhat far ahead of them. They continue forwards at a steady pace. Mac's piano can be heard echoing through the toppled trees.

"Zwei is using it." Thoren answers.

"You mean you didn't even know all this time?" Vincent asks. "You'd think that would be obvious."
"Hey, I didn't know Chronos was using my body while I was still Alpha. Give her a break." Schrodinger looks over at Vincent.
"Whatever, shrodey." The staring intensifies.

"Anyways, we need to find her so we can get you back to your body. That's top priority before we do anything about Omega, as much as we all want to end his miserable life here." Thoren concludes.

The army is getting slightly closer, within yelling distance.
"Hey! Mr. 'don't leave me behind'! What the fuck are you doing?" Raphael confirms this.
