Setting
There is a large, black, smear loosely shaped like a demon. Don't linger here-people are known to go missing.

The being rose to it's feet and stretched it's blackened body. "Your titles and names mean nothing, you are like to children in the face of a hurricane bearing down upon you. You may hide, but it will sweep you away. You may run, but it will catch you, and you resist, but it will crush you."
The being then raised a hand and the space within which they stood shifted and twitched as an irregularity began to spread throughout the realm. "So go then, depart this place and return to your existence, prepare your realms and ready yourselves. Oblivion comes, and He comes with it."
And then the irregularity would shift once more, casting the lord of pain and the goddess of the hunt back into reality.
They would be returned into an as of yet unchanged section of Dalgarei, though the fires and smoke of Ifrit's work was visible from their position. Of the twisted figure who released them, there was no sign.
His cinderhusk minions continued their work, reforging the planet into a tainted and blackened hellscape that matched their master's form.
This, however, was not one of those days. Without aim or focus, Koishi found herself on another planet entirely. One she hadn't visited before...it was strange, but that wouldn't deter the ever curious satori girl. What was more curious was the terrain. On the ground was something that added even more confusion to this pile of confusing matters. A large, black...humanoid shaped black smear against the ground? It wasn't really like anything she'd seen before. People normally left red smears after blunt force was applied, not black ones. But that's okay, they could be special instead. Or maybe it was a magic trick instead! Her mind racing, Koishi began examining the oddness with a curious gleam in her eyes. Like a child witnessing candy for the first time...after all, new things had the chance of being exciting maybe!
It skid to a stop on the other side of the object of curiosity as Koishi Komeiji. A lithe form gracefully dismounted and, from behind a robotic retro-graded helmet, began to analyze the thing on the ground. After a few moments, she looked across the smear towards the Koishi. She then said, in that monotone robotic helmet voice, "Dafuq izzit?"
Though normally Koishi was able to slip through the cracks of people's minds and be "unseen" as if she's invisible, rendering weak-willed individuals completely unaware of her presence as their minds went to work making up excuses for why things happened beyond the idea that Koishi may be the cause. However...with the assisted aid of technology, Niira would have no trouble seeing her - at least, so long as she kept the helmet on. With her hands behind her back, Koishi tilted her head and thought for a moment about what to do, and how to make this interesting turn of events even more interesting... "Hmmm...do you have a stick to poke it with?"
"Gargantua stalk!" She proudly brandished the piece of monster anatomy, "My bro, he choppit off himself a'Hunt!"
The stalk was originally going to be mounted on the wall of their home, but this seemed like a much more fruitful use. Besides, she had two.
"Iunno what a GHOST is," Robotic, monotone, she said through the helmet, and without another moment's notice slammed the tip of the Gargantua stalk into what would assumedly be the heart of the smear that was shaped-ish like a person.
Swelling and contorting, the 'smear' twisted to reveal its true form as a portal...of some sort. Like taking one more step than intended down the stairs, it may be jarring to expect solid ground where there isn't any. Koishi's eyes lit up almost instantly, grinning wide at the sight. "That's significantly less boring than what I thought it'd do~"
Surprisingly, it didn't budge, instead holding fast in the portal...of some sort. Slowly, very slowly, it began to sink.
"LESS BORING?" Niira pushed off from the stalk back into balance. No way in a gargantua's nest was she gonna touch that smear.
The possibilities were endless in Koishi's mind, and with that she got to her hands and knees like someone would when they're about to peer over a cliff. This time, however, she was looking up to Niira and sticking her tongue out. "I bet you're too scared to do THIIIIS~" With that, she turned her head back around and stuck it 'into' the black smear to see what was beyond...
She was wondering about the possibilities for exploration, having had been formally intrigued, when Koishi climbed down to the ground. Before she could even move, the crazy girl had stuck her head in the gargdamned portal!
"WHADARYA CRAZYANYOU WANNA DIE?!" Niira screeched in monotone, rushing around the smear, hopping over a leg, and frantically landing at the crazy stranger's side. She was admittedly afraid to make physical contact. What if something bad happened?!
"GET OUTCHEAH GARGDAMNIT!"
"No," she said simply, firmly. She was in no way messing with whatever this was. Some kind of dark evil, manifested. Maybe a type of magic? Absolutely not. Whispering? Niira wondered what it said.
Which is where her curiosity got the best of her.
"Couldn't get tha whisprin?" Niira shifted forward a hair.
Long, bright orange hair spilled from the top of her head as she shook it clear of the helmet, and then her face. The left side was intricately braided, crossing beneath her hairline and mingling with the rest of it all. She blinked, and then screamed. It would have been tolerable in monotone, but the sound that ripped from Niira was a pitch unlike any other.
"WHERENDAFUQ DID YOU GO ", and so began a deteriorating ramble almost faster than ears could hear, filled with everything from accusations of evil to the contemplation of this all just being a dream.
In that case...she could see her while wearing the helmet, soooo...if the lady didn't resist, Koishi tried nudging her a bit against the arms that held the helmet to lead it back towards Niira's head. Though...that was banking on the fact that she'd even listen to the 'instinct' that was trying to talk to her.
It rolled, unfortunately, into the smudge, and disappeared.
Oh no. Ohhh no this was bad. This was literally the worst.
She was shaking.
She couldn't ride without her helmet, her eyeballs would be sped right from their sockets! Shit!
She was stuck here with weird smudge and the maybe hallucination!
A better idea!(?) She'd take Niira with her! This was, in actuality, a lot worse, but this was Koishi's mind. To her this was an even better solution. Once more unless she resisted, Koishi tried to reach for her hand to lead her! After all, gotta get the helmet so her eyes won't melt! Not that Koishi would know that.
She was never one to flight, and she did need her helmet back, and what was that whispering?
Once inside, the whispering increased in intensity, yet everything said by the whispering voices was incomprehensible, no real language being used. The one whispering also couldn't be determined due to its presence surrounding the entirety of the space that was within the smudge...slowly color began to return to the world, and the whispering voices started to become drowned out as Koishi looked around at her surroundings. "Woooah! Didn't expect to end up here~ Wherever this is supposed to be!"
Trying to tap on Kuns shoulder a couple times for his attention and failing to gain it, he eventually began to bang on his helmet until he stopped. Midgra informed him of what he had seen and they soon got turned around. Pulling up to the blotch, Midgra dismounted a little more gracefully this time and gave a great stretch as he looked at the splotch. Lighting up a cigarette after the long ride, he pontificated upon it.
Of course, the first thing he noticed is the smell. Burning rubber bands, hot metal... Mixed with some sort faintly rotten meat. Black, like a silohuette smeared across the floor at high velocity. He turned his eyes up to the sun and back down.
"Someones face became aquainted with the ground here. But no common someone..." Midgra thought aloud. He leaned down to the edge, giving it a close inspection and pinching a little dirt between his thumb and forefinger, tasting it for any clue of freshness, as he was still assuming it was blood.
"Step back from that!" Kun Kuo could NOT believe he was eating the dirt. This dude was crazy!
