All three looked up as the women entered, and all three slammed their heads against the table hard enough to crack it at the first question. Black grinned when they all finally paused to breath and get answers, before standing up. "Well, it was fun, Gray can explain, bye."<br/><br/>Gray turned and semi-lunged for Black, but the table hampered his movements enough to let Black dissolve before Gray could grab him. "Fucking son of a bastardized, unwanted, lobotomized, retarded chaos beast! He always fucking does that."<br/><br/>He missed White also vanishing, but that wouldn't have irritated him nearly as much. Turning back, he stopped, organized the questions, and then shrugged. "I was showing the best of the possible end scenarios that I know of for myself. It could be tomorrow, it could be in two seconds, it might be in seven hundred millennium. I don't know. The others I know of were worse. And that was the best because you were NOT in my immediate attack vicinity, you would have had time to prepare, and I was immediately attacked by appropriately powered forces.<br/><br/>I was TRYING to be honest, as someone was implying earlier that I wasn't being on the level with all of you, and that the rest of you felt the same, but were too scared to say so.<br/><br/>Of course I am not spending ALL my time concerned, I am also spending a decent portion moving ahead with my plans, and also makes contingencies in case I DO go bat shit crazy. IE, putting enchantments on those artifacts that only work against me.<br/><br/>The only reason Tiamat was ABLE to get that far through the portal was because of me. If I wasn't there, she would have been able to snake one head through long enough to eat the cleric. With me there... It was like trying to climb from one ledge to another. With my 'divine weight,' to use a really simple and basic analogy, it was a much shorter 'hop' than if I wasn't.<br/><br/>Actually, if any of the outsiders die, this plane is where you reform. I will let you decide the implications of that."<br/><br/>He paused, staring at the table. "I don't rest any more. I am sure some of you have noticed I rarely stay still for long now. It is because of the... 'visions,' for want of a better term, I get when my mind slows down. I don't dream, I never have. I endured nightmares. And since ascending, and normal nightmares no longer applying, well, now they have gotten creative. Dealing with beings in those dreams and just when it is time to get back to work, they look right at me and ask, voices slightly wavering, 'Please don't wake up. I don't want to die yet.' And that is one of the more relatable ones."
