A nihilist surfs lazily across an empty field. Are they even important at all? Who knows.

He's a fairly built man wearing a black sleeveless shirt, black pants held up by a belt full of weapons, and black combat boots. He's got black fingerless gloves on as well, with steel-tipped knuckles. He's 6'4, he's got fair skin, several scars, jet black messy hair, some missing teeth, and broken horns that glow a dark purple. His shirt has a symbol on it, next to "SN-002".

He basks in the sun. Reminds him of rumors about some project his friend's working on. Something about a sun god? Was that it? Even as they were thinking, the sun melted his worries away. How blissful. His name... Who cares? Even if he could recall in this warm sunlight, why bother right now? Because they’re heading straight to a rock wall? Rock wall? Out in these plains? That’s impossi-

SLAM.

-ble.

The Nihilist ponders how a stone wall somehow ended up in the middle of a plain. This was not here last time he came. That is, unless he went off course. He's got no idea whether he has or not, but this is a good time to stop and rest, he guesses. He sit down and contacts some fellow friends.

[Messaging @Eerine]

F: Ayyy. I may need assistance, y’know.

E: What’d you do this tiiiiiiime

F: Might’ve gotten lost, I’m not sure

E: Absolutely wonderful. How far’d you go from your station?

F: Probably somewhere to the far right. No, scratch that, if I did go right I wouldn’t have smacked into a boulder.

E: This isn’t helping much, man.

E: Should I just wander aimlessly until I find you? Is that a better plan?

F: I’d give you a landmarker if I wasn’t stranded on an empty plain right now, Dri

E: ...

E: Alright, stay put and don’t get abductedddddd

F: See you soon, Dri!

E: I told you to knock it off with the pet namessssss!!!!

F: And your anger only makes you look cuter.

E: I’ll happily change my mind about going to find you if this is what you’re going to do

F: Fine, I’ll stop,

F: …

F: …

F: ...Dri ;)

E: I saw that coming from a mile awayyyyyy!!!!!!!!!!!

F: Let’s hope I’m next for being seen then

NS: Already searching.

The Nihilist knows she loves him. He knows with all his damn heart she’s just hiding it. Maybe. Actually, he might not be sure. He thinks so. He then notices a shadow on the horizon, recognizing it immediately. Great, it didn’t listen again. He knows it’s searching for him, and has just exposed itself to vulnerability at all angles. Hopefully, it realizes how stupid it’s being, and lands back on the ground.

The Nihilist would weep if it was a problem. He can fix this when he gets back to your station. Depending on how long that takes, weeping may or may not be a good solution. Is anything on the horizon yet? No? How wonderful. No, wait, he might be seeing something- He scrambles over the only visionary block in sight, really hoping the things on the horizon aren’t coming his way. Might as well send out his will in case this goes wrong.

[Created the group chat “Might be dying in a bit who knows”]

@Eerine was added to the group.

@Memphi to the group.

F: YEAH I NEED HELP

E: What nowwwwww

M: How uncanny. I’m not adjusted to groups often. What’s the dilemma?

E: Oh you must be desperate to bring her here.

F: NO SHIT DRI

M: Understandable. It’d be appreciated if you could continue.

E: Pretty sure Fourn's lost right nowwww, what else could possibly go wrong?

F: Oh I know, it’s got two parts to it and the last one is “proxies”

E: Did you seriously run into those guys?

M: That is a common possibility for his location. How much distance do you have?

F: Not enough

M: That doesn’t resemble a satisfying answer.

E: Do you have any means of escape?

F: Not without being spotted and killed

E: Should I stop trying to search for you, then?

F: Yeah, now’d be a good time to turn back.

M: How long can you maintain composure when entombed?

E: What are you even trying to imply?

F: All I got from that was ‘tomb’ and if you’re asking me to lay down and die I guess I can do that if you want me to

F: Not a very advisable plan but I don’t have much else to do so

F: If one of you can forge a will for me real quick it’d help

F: Just telling you now I have terrible handwriting

E: Shut up. You’re not going to die out there

M: I meant to imply “How long can you hold your breath while buried”.

F: ...That’s actually decently clever, not gonna lie

F: So you’re suggesting that I bury myself when they pass by?

E: Oh shit that actually is smart

M: I’ll gladly accept that gratitude.

F: Guess I should’ve put more trust in your skills

F: Just proves how well we work together :)

E: That was disgustingly sappy even for me

Alright, time to start digging.

Oh, yeah, this guy. His name's Fournier Xococo. They’re basically a chill nihilist flamboyant semi-leader of a Catacombis sentry unitt. Plus hoversurfer. Because of his lack of will to live, his rely on others to assist he can often throw himself head-on into danger. Very few things scare him however, making it easy to go into intense situations with little care for self-harm.

He attempts to teach others as well, whether it be psionic pyrokenesis or average, everyday skills and whatever. Did we mention his psionic pyrokinesis? It virtually just means he can light objects on fire sometimes and control the flames with his psionic ability occasionally, not really a huge achievement there. Even if nobody else in Catacombis has been recorded to be able to do so, so what? He's already taught someone else to do it, no big deal.

Other than that, he's a bit half-blind, due to having one of his eyes scarred over. This at least does not affect his digging right now. He submerges himself in the soil. Done and planted. He hopes that this process will not last long enough to choke him as he covers the last of himself up. Hopefully, nothing will go wrong.

A daredevil of unfathomable lack of fear is falling down a cliffside as we speak and enjoying every second of it. Still falling.

Lounging in a freefallllllllllllllllllllllllll!!!!

Eventually going to hit the ground…

Or maybe not, as she's swooped up by a dragon. Due to being called out to the middle of nowhere, she’s got quite a lot of time to spare. So, might as well practice her skydiving with her ally’s dragon. It’s usually considered rude to just use another’s pet like this, but she doesn’t have her own to use.
