[He shakes his head.] Been sitting half the day. I'll be fine.
[He's more used to being on his feet than he is on his butt. If he doesn't move around much he feels like he's gonna be unable to rest tonight at all.]
I- we were all brought to another world before this. Summoned, really. Me, and the comrades and friends we made along the way. To fend off the end of the world as it began to fall into ruin. [Ira crosses his arms, glancing at the door briefly before falling back into reflecting.] Which, we did. By dismantling the entire summoning process and the guardian of the cycle of life and death it was in, but hey. What else do you do in the face of eldritch horrors, anyway?
[It's a sad attempt at lightening the mood, but he knows it likely doesn't make sense without context, so he'll bite.]
Crystallis was a world that subsided on the lives of countless others. Kept rejuvenating itself on the life force of what it could steal then destroyed the rest, creating a force that tried to destroy it in order to become whole again with the parts that had been taken from it. Including the "Heroes of Light" that had been taken from them.
Now before you panic, I highly doubt that same thing's happening here. Like I said earlier, we destroyed the tech designed to keep the summoning and death cycle going. Didn't exactly win us any favors with the natives at first, but... we succeeded where no previous generation did before.
[They won. They didn't sacrifice everyone in order to restart the cycle.]
I know it probably sounds crazy, but... [He rubs the back of his neck.]
