[it is later in the day! and the home biome seems to be occupied.
the best way to describe this place is that it's - well, listen, it's on pluto. but it's grey, and it's cold, and the gravity is different, just a little. he'll find himself in a series of catacombs, with little niches that have a lot of skeletons in them, connected to generators. like a skyrim dungeon, but with sci-fi elements like LED lights. the catacombs lead all the way down to a series of cells, which are small and only contain a bed, bathroom, and a hook on the wall for robes.
past all of that is a horribly rattling and terrifying lift. this will take him to a church.
the church is a long narrow hall on the very bottom level. lit by gas-discharged lights and luminescent powders, it is a dark, dusty and silent place, with enough pews to seat a thousand. it's in bad shape, but less than the rest of the place.
inside is gideon, staring up the stained glass. it's shattered and barely hanging on. oh, also, she's wearing this.]
[Neat. Honestly, if Zel sees a creepy catacomb-church combo, he can't help but check it out. He walks on in, looking around as he comes up beside her. And he's just... looking at the contrast between Gideon and everything else here.]
[she startles slightly, and glances over her shoulder at him.
zel might notice there's a bone hand with a rocket ship outfit on the ground a bit away, too. it is wrestling with the rocket ship like it's trying to get it off.]
Nah, we've got nothing this slick on the Ninth. I just like it. [...] Uh, welcome to the Ninth, I guess.
What, churches and temples and the like? Tons. My journey's taken me to a lot of them.
Most are for worshipping the gods... the Flare Dragon, Ceiphied, most of all. Or they're places for priests and priestesses to train their white magic.

... That would explain all of the skeletons.
[That's like, the number one thing he would have expected from the Ninth.]
no subject
If there's one thing we're not short on, it's fucking bones. [she glances back up at the stained glass.]
no subject
anyway, he'll also look up at the stained glass. does it have any distinct design he can make out?]
no subject
it looks a little like it might have been some sort of figure. the skull makeup is there, and it has a sword, but the face is cracked and gone.]
I think that's supposed to be Nonius. The only figure that ever had any relevance from the Ninth. Ortus wouldn't shut the fuck up about the guy.

[squinting at this stained glass face.]
Who's that Ortus guy, anyway?
[aside from being our occasional mysterious guest star in trials.]

The guy that was supposed to be Harrow's cavalier.

Which is why I'm Harrow's cavalier.

[Wasn't there something about a bomb in a shuttle in that memory he saw before, too? Hm.]
And what's that -- a cavalier?

Bodyguard for a necromancer, in the easiest way to put it.
