08. Nathaniel Fourscythe appears
Nate is enjoying a pleasant morning at home alone, playing video games with Jonah over the internet when suddenly the screen goes snowy, and a voice comes over, "Is this thing on? AHEM! Howdy! My name is Slideslicer, and I'm here to destroy your world. Don't bother trying to stop me, you're all already dead! YAHAAHAAHA!"
Nate hears a deep rumbling, the screen comes back on, every character on screen is suddenly hit with a wave of electrified golden liquid, and disappears. The rumbling intensifies, and a planet sized wave of electrified golden liquid floods the whole planet, including Nate.
Nate is dead.
Moments later Nate experiences things his mind simply can't process, and then he wakes up. There are horse and buggies, steam-powered mini-tanks, clockwork insectoids, elfs, trolls, a few goat-people and other sentient folk of every variety wandering around. Flying vehicles of assorted types are all around, and there is a tugging "that way" sensation that feels like intuition telling Nate to follow it.
