Once the four were...somewhat assembled (after all, Muffet wasn't exactly around), the door suddenly changed before their eyes, accompanied by a loud burst of static. The door was now black and white, with writing on the door. "Investigations into Matters Both Public & Private." Decker, at least, knew what he was looking at. A private investigator's office. The door opened on its own. "Come on in." Said a female voice.<br/><br/>Stepping inside was like being transported back to the 1920s. Not that anyone but Decker might know that. The smell of cigarette smoke hung on the air as the ceiling fan struggled in vain to keep it cool. "Welcome. It is good to see that you all received my invitations." The woman said. The man stood up. "Hey." He said gruffly. "Name's Booker Dewitt, and she's Elizabeth Com-"<br/><br/>"No. I used my real name for the invitations. I am Anna Dewitt." Which matched the AD on the letter. "I am also Elizabeth Comstock, as my father here was about to say. If I had my choice, we'd be meeting in my penthouse in Paris, but that particular dimensional pocket has collapsed and I'll need to rebuild it when I get a chance."<br/><br/>"And that is why you are here." She said. "The invaders who came in, turning weapons from alternate worlds against you. Powerful guns, forbidden spells, great brutes, you've seen it all I'm sure. Each of you has a story that ends the same way-you found a portal that led here." She smirked. "I know. I made them. I saved as many as I could, but even my power has limits." She shook her head, and Booker stepped up to the plate for the next bit.<br/><br/>"I've done some looking around with Liz...Anna's help." He corrected himself. "The guys responsible call themselves the Titan Project. They hit our world first and swiped the designs for Zachary Comstock's machines that could open up windows to other worlds. Originally it was based on leeching her particular talents." He hooked a thumb at Anna. "They musta found another way to do it, cause now they've hit everyone."<br/><br/>"And I think I know from where." Anna spoke up, as she opened a Black and White portal to another world, far beyond this one. It seemed to open on a fair, a carnival, or something similar. Living constructs, beautiful pieces of art, and massive airships could all be seen. "Kaladesh, the land of invention. Magic and machines blended into one, and heavily controlled by the Consulate. The Inventor's Faire is in full swing, and every inventor has access to an unlimited amount of Aether-a magical energy they use for their inventions." She explained. "But the Consulate's authority is still offering a stranglehold, and a certain person has chosen this time to return home."<br/><br/>The scene shifted, to a rather lovely woman in what appeared to be a mix of leather armor and chainmail. The black and white image did nothing to do her justice, but as she walked forward, her hair lit itself on fire. Yes, she was a literal firehead. An army of fire creatures-elementals, likely-appeared behind her, as the flames traveled down her arms. "Chandra Nalaar. The Torch of Defiance. Has a problem with authority. I'm sure you'll get along fine." Anna said, looking straight at Jinx as she spoke.<br/><br/>"The Consulate is hiding something. Inventions that hardly break the rules are being confiscated. People are going missing. Including Chandra's father, Kiran. She's agreed to wait for backup instead of burning down the whole plane looking for him, which is where you four come in. You'll go to Kaladesh, meet her, find what the Consulate is hiding. Booker suspects they are hiding something to do with the TITAN Project. I agree with him."<br/><br/>"Of course..." The door behind them creaked open again. "I wouldn't force you to do anything. You can go back to what you were doing before. On the other hand, Kaladesh is an opportunity. Whatever motivates you, you can find it at the Inventor's Faire. Money, answers, weapons, destruction, you can find it all. Even if it's a dead end, trust me when I say Chandra is a woman we want on our side for this little campaign." Basically, she was offering a chance to back out, with the knowledge that no protagonist ever did. Muffet might, but that was why the money bit was thrown in-she knew how greedy the spider lady could be.
