Umbra of Chaos:
Joseph

3:15

Wow... This place was pretty interesting too. The shadow girl was really amazing, but this district was so strange it almost felt imaginary! At random, he walked up one of the haphazard streets and stopped one of the people walking along it. "Hello. I'm new. Do you mind telling me about the buildings around here? There seem to be a lot of empty ones and unfinished construction besides that tower."

Xibalba's streets

3:15

The streets were orderly, precise in their geometry, but paradoxically they swerved and turned through the district in such a way it was honestly a miracle the boy found.... anything. And the same could be said about the people. The streets were far from overtly lively, but they weren't deserted. How someone wouldn't find themselves lost was beyond anyone.

Like him.

But despite the activity, or maybe because of it, the one Joseph addressed didn't so much as turn around. Instead, he kept going, to where, no one would know. He was a young man sporting a smart attire, albeit a bit casual, and upon a closer look he seemed to be wearing headphones, so he obviously couldn't hear Joseph.

Joseph

He blinked for a second before glancing at the headphones. One of the alchemist's hands reached out to grab the boy by the arm but it was kept in check by his other one. Well, he certainly didn't know where he was going in the first place. So Joseph shrugged his shoulders and with a lively bounce to his step just started to follow the kid around.

And so Alice followed the Rabbit round and round, through the game board of this wonderland. Was it a feeling of deja vu that'd strike Joseph first, or was it that he was a mere tourist so all streets looked the same? They walked a bit, until something most strange happened.

They reached yet the same intersection where they met. Or did they? It looked so familiar, but it certainly didn't feel like they had been taking a turn anywhere. nd just like that, the young boy turned around and faced Joseph. His expression was troubled, but in a cold way the boy kept to himself.

He took a step forward and walked past Joseph, and with that he came the other way around, the way he came to begin with. Or so it seemed anyways.

Umbra of Chaos:
Joseph

There were all kinds of sights around, even if it did all look the same. But it was starting to get confusing. It was time to leave some breadcrumbs! Getting lost was hardly the point of this whole thing. As long as he was seeing something new then it was fine, but Joseph was more than tired of endless circles. So his shadow spat out a vial of dark liquid and some discarded flesh, and as he followed the boy back around he poured the contents of the potion all over the flesh.

He let out a satisfied sound. It was almost like leaving a trail of breadcrumbs. Squirming out from between his fingers, fleshy creatures that looked as if someone had tried to mash centipedes and rats together spilled forth. Chains of twitchy legs, elongated bodies, and far too much teeth slipped out and around. They looked a bit out of place but at least he'd know where he'd been!
