    You feel groggy, waking up slowly, your temples pulsing with a dull ache. It's perfectly in synch with your heartbeat, a slow drum of irritation against your skull.

    Slowly, you push yourself off of the cold, hard tile, looking blearily at your gloomy surroundings.

    It's only when you peer down at the glowing designs entwining through your fingers do you hear the voice.

    "YOU ARE WORTHY"

    For some reason, you remember references to a particular website, and a very odd visual novel, but the pressing matter with your hands right now seems to be more important at the moment.

    >>13926643
    You try and wrack your mind for whatever the voice is referring to, but everything is a strange, dreamlike blur, a wisp of a thing that escapes your cognitive grasp. It's not helped by the headache either, nor by the fact that you think you're starting to freak out.

    >>13926660

    Trying to calm down, you hurriedly scan the rest of your body, seeing that they're both all there, and mostly normal. Your joints crack slightly as you stretch yourself out, examining your flesh thoroughly, with glances down your jeans and jumper to ensure that there were no more hidden away beneath your clothes.

    "What the fuck you are you on about?" you announce to the darkness, your voice echoing hollowly through the corridors beyond.

    Silence.

    You wait minutes for a reply, but nothing answers.

    >CHECKING INVENTORY

    Aside from the clothes on your back, which consists of long woolen grey jumper, blue jeans, white undershirt, black converse and a crimson scarf, not much.

    There's a weird metal beaded necklace, some silver bracelets, a watch, a pair of glasses, hankies, a pink phone, lint, a mint from Captain America's restaurant and 55 pence in numerous change...

    >>13926849
    You appear to be a girl. The chest, and lack of a penis confirm it.

    As for the designs, the seem to shift silently over your hands, endlessly intricate. If they didn't freak you out so much, you'd probably be able to stare at them for hours...

    You seem to be in some sort of classroom or something. There's a good deal of tables and chairs, along with a white board, and some very old looking windows, whose blinds are drawn. Despite this fact, ethereal blue light is leaking in through the bottom, casting ghastly shadows about the room.

    There's an emergency exit on the far side of the room, and directly opposite of it is an open door, from which the sounds are coming. It's a slow sorta clopping sound, footsteps, only louder, and higher pitched.

    >>13927023

    Scrambling beneath the furthest tables and behind a mass of chairs, you flick open your phone, still crawling towards the exit.

    There's a plethora of names here... City Hosptial, Cregagh Cabs, Good Fortune Chinese, Hayleigh, Mum Mob, My Cousin mark, Sorcha, The Strand Cinema...

    You dial the first familiar one. Mum Mob. Unfortunately, you're greeted with the lack of anything besides a dial tone, and to make matters worse...

    A voice calls out from the door. It's quiet, mocking, punctuated by the slightest of near hysterical glee. It is not a pleasant voice.

    And as for laughing? Well, you could laugh in terror, though that might not be the same thing...

    >>13927222
    You settle for a tentative, almost unheard "...sorry, we're closed for the night..."

    There's a deep, unholy chuckle, and the clopping starts again in a rapid burst, making it's way towards you, and wrenching the table aside.

    A tall figure looms over you, grinning horribly with glistening, pointed fangs. It rests on cloven feet, pointed tail swinging to and fro, horns sweeping away from its temples. Its upper body is pale, bare torso, its legs that of a goats. A pair of black wings were slung about its hips, almost like a cloak.

    With slitted eyes, it regard you hungrily.

    "My my, aren't you tasty looking cute stuff~?"

    You do pretty much what most girls would do when presented with a malignant demon looming over them with unknown intentions, in a situation that could only be described as nightmarish.

    You punch that sucker in the balls.

    The smile freezes on his face, and he falls to his knees, eyes rolling up into his head. Spasming sightly, the beast clutches at his nether regions, keeling to one side. He murmurs something, but the most you can make out of it is "hmimimmie..."

    Reaching back, you grab a long pole with a hook on it, most likely used for opening and closing the windows, raising it over your head, and then...

    You try for a kick instead, reeling your leg back for a direct kick into the spine. Grunting in pain as the shock goes up your shin, you hobble backwards. It's like kicking something made of stone.

    The demon's breathing becomes deeper, and he begins to growl, slowly picking himself up, eyes near red with rage. He leers at you, and you opt for Plan B.

    Running.

    You shoot out of the corridor like the hounds of hell are on your trail. The scream of fury resounding behind you implies that this may have not been the best course of action.

    The corridor in front of you is long, punctuated with a series of doors to your left. The right is just windows... windows out onto a landscape you didn't think could exist...

    You run for moment, then break left, diving into one of the rooms at random.

    But the image of the landscape is seared into your mind. A sea of buildings, ashy grey, with an enormous blue sun glaring down. The clouds twist into unfamiliar forms, and there are strange, non-euclidean structures dotting the landscape.

    The sound gets closer until you're almost positive it's right outside. Then with all your strength, you shove the door in the beasts shin.

    There's a pathetic thwap sound as it meets with the stony resistance of the creatures flesh.

    It looks at you, completely unamused, and yanks you up a wrist, holding you painfully off the ground. Its free arm now rests protectively over its nether regions, in case of a repeat attack.

    With a deep breath, it hisses at you.

    I'd suppose that you'd need to state the specific postulate that the Strip violates.

    In order to be non-euclidean, it has to violate a postulate, like all the other elliptic and hyperbolic expressions.

    Note: while this geometry is demostrated in 2D for ease of drawing, it is equally valid for 3 and higher dimensions.

    The first 4 postulates are universal to all different types of geometry, and say that lines are lines, lines can be long, circles are circles, and a corner is a corner. Groundbreaking.

    The paralell postulate is dlightly different. Broadly it states that for a point (1) at a set distance from line A, there is exactly one line B that goes through point (1) and never meets line A (see pic). This defines Euclidean geometry.

    By redefining/removing it you get all other forms of geometry, for instance the geometry of Spheres, in which there are no lines which never meet, or that of Hyperbolic surfaces, in which there are an infinite number of lines B that never meet.

    Considerations of the *surface* of a sphere as the working plane is non-euclidean.
    A sphere itself however can be rendered with the third axiom quite easily, leaving the fifth postulate intact.

    What you really mean to say is that 'A Moebius Strip is non-euclidean is two dimensions.'
    With a third dimension it can be rendered quite easily, violating no postulates.
    Does it matter that it must be rendered in a pair like the poles of a magnet? No. It can still be mapped to euclidean space.

    "What started all of this?"

    Crow shakes his head. "Shi-..."He frowns for a moment. "Shi-... Shi-!... SHI-!!"

    There's a moment of silence before he gives you a withering glare. "*Crap* happens, you festering pain in my ass. Just so that the *crap* that happened here was the end of the world. End of bloody story."

    "Who are these friends in high places? What kind of knowledge is stored there? What physical form do they have, humans? Have the displayed unprovoked hostility to other humans?"

    Groaning as he carves with his finger, he takes a deep breath. "They're fu-... *freaking* angels or some shi-... something. I don't know, the goddamn hierarchy is fu-... stupid here. And yes, they hate everything that doesn't fit into their high and mighty beautiful bloody plan the bas-... ...jerks.

    "What kind of foods do you eat? Do you need to eat? How does the 'hope' aspect feature in to your nature? What makes *me* 'tasty' in particular?"

    "Always with the questions... I eat energy, yes I need to eat, I get energy from spiritual mediums and physical components, such as souls and meat, the Hope aspect of me is complicated, but it involves growing stronger, and you look tasty because you're a-"

    His mouth snaps shut again, and he tries to swear, only to half stutter it again. Becoming enraged, he continually tries to swear, until finally losing his temper and smashing the table.

    "...you know what, I'll just lead you there..."

    "Why are you so helpful? you ask hesitantly, as he leads you outside. The air is neither cold nor warm, and ash rains from the sky, like snow underfoot. Although the crunching beneath is slightly disconcerting...

    "No, I don't enjoy being a slave to dinn-... "

    Crow takes a deep, calming breath, and attempts to continue.

    "But I'm forced to. Even this question I'd rather not answer,"

    The blue sun glares across the way, slowly beginning to sink over the horizon, the bizarre figures of the surrounding architecture silhouetted against the eerie light.

    >>13929640

    "Is there a way out? What happens next? What was the last?"

    "I DON'T KNOW!" he yells, throwing his arms up. "Shut up! It's like having some sort of idiot retarded kid show up and asking you why the goddamn sun works, or why is water wet, or why are some people dicks!?"

    "Can I order you to like it?"

    He glares at you again. "No, you cannot freaking order me to like it. You can order me to do or to not do, and that is it."

    "You could always try to eat sunlight, too. It IS a renewable source of energy."

    "Not around here it isn't."

    Crow sighs once more.

    "Yeah, well whatever. Caring too much is tired me out, so can we just do this, get whatever the hell you want, then get the hell out of here before the other bas-... buttheads start showing up?"

    The blue sun finally fades beneath the horizon, and suddenly, at the other end, a red one flares suddenly, peaking over the edge.

    "We're almost there anyways," he finishes, gesturing to a tower built in some sort of park, looking like it was collapsing midway before being frozen in time. Birds or something are circling it...

    Crow gives you a sidelong glance that presumably indicates that he thinks you're retarded.

    "Why don't you stare a little closer at said sun, huh?"

    "That's pretty bad for my-..."

    That's when you see it. That's not a star. It's an eye.

    Try to look more closely at the birds. Are they regular birds, paranormal birds, or some shit? Also, keep a weather eye out for more monsters. Dude might be your 'servant' for now, but that doesn't mean he has to mention that creepy crawly thing sneaking up behind you.

    Yes, that is how eyes work. A receptor chemical is broken triggering the corresponding nerve. An enzyme the repairs the chemical; the rate at which this occurs is the frame-rate of your eye.

    "Right. It's an eye. That's not odd at all. It's still giving off light, though. And light is energy!"

    You smile at him cheerily.

    "Light from a god. Eating said light makes me someone *else's* bit-... dog."

    "So do you act without me needing to ask? I mean, will you come to my aid if I don't ask?"

    He nods,squatting down and staring at the tower.

    "Yup. Gotta. Bond demands it and all that shi-... jazz."

    He still looks fairly pissed off. Surely becoming your slave after uppercutting him to the genitals can't be that bad, can it?

    "Look, what do you want? Maybe things'll go better if we both get what we want out of this."

    He stops, looking at you warily.

    "I want to be part of something. Or sleep all day, I don't care. Sleeping all day is easier."

    As for the far off birds, the newly risen sun/eye/whatever the hell it is, is staining the tower a bloody crimson, and making it look ever more imposing than it already is.

    "What the hell do you want in there anyways?" Crow asks.

    Crow shrugs. "Whatever... anyways."

    The demon man hefts a fist sized rock, before chucking it at the tower. One of the birds goes down, the rest flocking to it.

    "Alright, now help me with that pillar..."
