Kristine looked over the newcomers as they gained their bearings. The White Room was not kind to newcomers. It stretched on into infinity, a glaringly white expanse. Chairs and tables had been set up, white of course, but they only added the surreal aspect, at certain angles they completely disappeared. None of them looked impressive. A few of them looked like they could have handled themselves in a fight on their home worlds, which was promising, but not nearly enough. A few of them reminded her of herself in the old days. As full of angst as a human can manage. They were men mostly. Maybe that was the problem. Kristine had never been overly fond of men. She looked down at her arms the chains wrapped there the only memory of a time where she had been just like them. She had long ago ditched the biker look. She wore a pure white dress now, the chains wrapped around her arms and torso, the latter running between her admittedly somewhat too revealed breasts, were golden now. Her hair was still a firey red but the heavy black makeup that she had so often worn was gone. There was an ethereal beauty about her now. Eternity changes you.
As she looked at her companion the thought seemed less carefree. Sebastian. Eternity had certainly changed him. She shook her head. The kids had had enough time to get used to their new environment.
“Hello.” She said. Trying not to seem imposing was something she would never get used to. “You must all be very confused. If my experience is anything to go by, you have all been ripped from your worlds rather suddenly. And while fear is quite an appropriate response I can promise you that this is not as bad as it seems.” She held a hand in front of her to assure silence until she was done speaking. “You have been chosen. The Good in this universe has decided that you are worthy, and you should count yourselves lucky. Down this path lies unimaginable power. And you are joining the ranks of the greatest men and women to have ever lived. Though I can’t quite see that potential here myself” She winked at Sebastian. “Power is awakening in each of you. I encourage you to try it out. You will find you have become remarkable creatures.” Kristine concentrated hard and summoned up a large thronelike chair. “Take a moment to process this and try out your new abilities. Then I will explain the price.” She sat finally, smirking a little. Hopefully that was a little more helpful than her own initiation.
