*somewhere in a dark alleyway behind one of the more popular planetside bars, the sounds of metal clanging around can be heard along with the sights and sounds of a compact welding torch can be seen dimly illuminating a figure in a tan leather cloak, almost all the body obscured*

After Gregor had filed his part of the incident report, he went outside the Guard station and sighed softly.

// Funny, I was waiting for you... Oh, well.
Umbra slowly sits up, rubbing his forehead. "Ugh... What just..."
He stops talking once he sees Empathy, who shyly waves hello.
"...Uh. Hi."
There's a bit of silence between them.
"...Aren't you-"
"Yes. It's complicated."
"...Okay. Can anyone
besides the other me from a dream explain what's going on?"

"It is... Complicated." His head snaps toward Scyn, and he clears his throat.
"I would appreciate it if you left, Scynmirkiraelo."
Scyn squints at Ezekiel and
also clears his throat.
"YES. WELL, I SUPPOSE NOW THAT WHATEVER IS HAPPENING IS HAPPENING, WE SHOULD LET THEM DO WHATEVER IT IS THEY'RE DOING," he says slightly louder than usual, picking RIOE up with ease and slinging her over his shoulder.
"HEY! What're you do-"
"RIOE. I'LL EXPLAIN LATER. EXCEPT I WON'T. JUST COME WITH ME."
"Not like I have a choice..." Scyn and RIOE leave the infirmiry, with the Guard Guy on his tail.
...Ezekiel waits until they're gone.
"The simplest way to explain would probably be... You were attacked by a being similar to yourself. This is Empathy, yet another of those beings... And it is very likely your dreams are actually memories. You see..." He stops for a moment.

((Copy & Paste.
The long answer would be I made a program which can convert letters into similar symbols thereby making it look like a different font.
I occasionally used the online ones
here before. Not all of them work on the forums though.))

// well, why didn't you speak up, then?
// the best way I could explain what happened right now minus the in-character exposition is that people got ejected out of their universe due to a paradox, then essentially got reborn, saved/picked up, or destroyed. After that, the survivors popped into their new universes, creating an alternate timeline they exist in.
