"I don't fucking care, get away from me." I growled out because yet another fucking idiot came up to me. I glared at both of the idiots. I wanted them to just leave me alone.
I took another step back, my temper flaring up as a part of me wanted to tear these idiots to pieces. Why the fucking hell do they think I have their fucking answers?
Rudolf's eyes narrowed. His jaw clenched in a flash of anger. She
didn't care?! Well, too bad, because he sure
did care about being stranded in some random city in another country! Whether she liked it or not, she was connected to him and all this ludicrous situation, so he would very much not leave alone the only other person who had something to do with all of this!
Suddenly, his face relaxed, a smile returning to it, but no longer timid or anxious, but rather intense. Anger was useful like that. It granted this
special kind of clarity to all things. Prevented one from getting distracted, hesitant or doubtful. As long as one balanced on the edge of fury, it was easy to maintain this lively mask of cheerfulness. And the
little case of getting
kidnapped with no recollection of the deed was
quite annoying… He almost wanted to chuckle.
Oh yes, if he wasn't careful he'd snap and that probably wouldn't be the best thing to do considering the circumstances, but he didn't feel like caring. If he didn't act he'd be in danger of losing the possibility of using whatever knowledge of the situation she had, so they could resolve it.
His lips parted, flashing his teeth in a grin as he made a deliberate step forward, planning to politely, yet firmly put this simple idea in her head that they perhaps should work together. Hopefully she'd be at least reasonable enough to notice the merit of this plan, as his mask
would very likely shatter if she somehow proved resilient.
A sudden pressure put on his shoulder prevented him from going forward with this plan. Surprised and still very much on edge, he turned his head around, eyes narrowed with apprehension.

Taranis Eite looked at Liliana and Rudolf, then sighed, putting his hands up, "Got it, you want to be left alone," he put his right hand inside of his pocket. All the while putting his left hand atop Rudolf's shoulder, "Let's leave the woman alone." He began to move away, before remembering something. He turned back, with a look of brief worry, before it returned to his typical stoic look, My name's Taranis Eite...if you need help, don't hesitate to ask." He began to walk away, regardless if Rudolf followed him, and at that moment made a decision, quickly coming to a weak but quick conclusion. 'Whatever happened, neither I, the other two, and presumably more know of it, in that case...' he looked at the app on his phone and chose to click it.

"Let's see what you are...DSP." he spoke out loud, after having thought about the situation, and ducking into yet another nearby alleyway here.
Rudolf stood there for a second, before shaking his head, once more regaining the relaxed fasade. Some anger of his dissolved now that the Miss I-Don't-Care was out of his focus. A new layer of suspicion appeared. Why would that stranger offer him helop? Did he know something? Was he a part of it? Maybe the kidnapper… no, if that was the case he probably wouldn't reveal himself to two of his victims in the centre of some city. Now that he thought about it, the place looked somewhat familiar… Maybe he saw it in TV? Some British city most likely, what were the chances that he was taken over the entire ocean to US or Australia?

My, my, that was quite the intro, wasn't it?
Mysterious voice with cryptic advice, dream sequence rife with obscure foreshadowing, waking up in a different location alongside others in a similar situation, and the smallest of leads in the form of the new date and little gift in his phone.
Not bad, not bad at all. Certainly not how he'd have gone about it himself, but he could appreciate the craftsmanship. He'd love to have a chat with whomever was responsible, perhaps trade notes. Doubly so if his guess was right.
Demon Summoning Program, magatamas, an itch at the back of his neck, being shunted further down the timeline or into another altogether.
Why, yes, Mr. Cipher, he'd love to throw a wrench in YHVH's little recycling system.
Mokou cosplay? Check
Nonexistent volume control? Check
Positively volcanic temper? Check
Well, YHVH should count himself lucky that he doesn't have any genitalia for Ms. Nutshot to mangle.
He strolled up to the little group, humming a cheerful tune all the while.
Now, the wise thing would be to douse that temper and get everyone up to speed, hopefully without any hysterics involved.
He had never been accused of being a wise man.
So instead he pointedly placed himself between his target and the rest of the little group, caring little about their personal space or snubbing them so blatantly.
He offered a brilliant smile and his smuggest tone, "My, my, Arkos, fancy meeting you here. A bit late for the con, aren't you~?"
"Doubt I'll need your help, I'm not some damel in distress I can take care of myself." I snapped out before taking a deep breath. 'Calm down Lily, calm down. Keep that temper nice and cool before you explode and do something that you would regret.'
I blinked. Wait. What. The only person I told I was going to a con was.. "Nihilo what the fuck are you doing here, how the fuck did you get here, and why the hell are you so fucking smug?" I stuffed my phone into a pocket, before crossing my arms under my chest. "...Do you know if anything happened to the rest of our discord group?" I said, slowly pushing my sadism and temper back to where they belong. Did he stumble across me after the five year gap I have apparently been missing in... Or did he get thrown ahead like me?
His musing was interrupted by a sudden exchange between some 'Nil' and the lady from before. At least he now knew her name as well. As he eavesdropped the conversation, he began to slowly stalk away in the direction of this guy, Taranis was his name?
Motioning him to follow me, I walk over to the group gathered by a nearby alley. "Our souls have been shot across reality to solve some kind of crisis, I can't tell you where we are yet or the issue, but something's bound to tell us eventually."
Meeting the man halfway, I held a fist out for a bump. "They got you to Ni?"
As yet another person, joined the conversation. Rudolf now could truly appreciate the way Taranis prevented him from potentially committing a grave mistake. If he had snapped back then… three on one weren't the prettiest odds.
Even more worrying were the topics they discussed. Lucifer? Dream sequence? Spatial displacement? Mrok had a feeling that there was something very fishy about those people, possibly members of some insane cult or something like. Worse yet, they clearly knew something about what was happening, but his determination to find out suddenly became rather dim, seeing how shady the source of it seemed to be. No, better go catch that one man who seemed the most normal here, in spite of his spiky hair.
@Hikari
Rudolf reached the man and with a steady, if no longer as intense, smile he extended his hand.
"Hello Taranis, I'm Rudolf Mrok. I've decided to take that offer of yours" He raised his eyebrows at the sight of the strange app on Eite's phone. "Ahh, I see you also have that app, you wouldn't happen to know what it does, would you? Then again, it seems that I know the least around here. I've never even been to this place in my entire life."
