[Elias creeps, rather than bursts, onto the scene.
It starts as a distant crackle in the headphones, maybe the sign of a poor connection or bad wiring. In fact, it's just quiet enough for Beat to feel rather stupid about trying to get a boy-god's attention. But give it time; a minute passes, and the crackle blankets Beat in a shower of snowy static. The strangest thing about it is its warmth. It isn't just noise in his squirrely ears, it's the prickling in his fur. It's the way his hairs all stand on end and itch. Its the heat skittering over his extremities, its the dry flicker of lights overhead.
Beat isn't alone anymore, and he hears the quiet, calm -- too calm? -- voice of an adolescent boy part the veil of static, just a little.]
hello beat please call me elias
listen i know youre here to thank me but i got to thank you for the help you and joshua together we got those people out of the peninsula before the fog fanatics blew my door sky high
thats fine i made sure none of mine were hurt and none of the people you brought me either buildings can be restored they didn't win as much as they hope they did
im sorry i couldnt totally stop the changes did they really hurt a lot? i didnt mean it the fog doesnt make transformation easy or painless and to stop it probably doesnt feel better
