A man who looks similar to Beatle walks out of a portal. His eyes are purple. His overalls are gray. He has a blue hoodie. He has an ankh brimming on his chest rather than a star.
He began whistling, humming a song from a Japanese anime.
He humoriusly skipped and skedaddled while he walked around the beautiful icey lands.
"Nueva Yorca be bustin'. Wot da hell happened here? Willy mamili syang makapili tamgina nya kasi sya'y namimili ng Pilipini..." he sang.
"You there, Pro?"
"Yeah huh... I'm in the Apoc World. Place is seasonally colder. Hope the mission's successful, Reapz."

He yelled out into the cold desert wasteland as his voice echoed from within each snowflake of the massive valley. "Goddamn sundae-lookin' dogs be drinking piss in my-... Ugh... Snow Wolves, Bears, Face Men.... All the same in this mutated realm... I think I'll go by easily, however... I think I'll be the Messiah the Multiverse had already expected and wanted... Yes... YES!!! THAT'S IT!!! If I manage to destroy the Splooge, I will FINALLY get to be honored once and for all!!! YES!!! This world was way less icy 5 years ago with the Bear and Face Man ordeal... Must've seasonally changed in terms of climate because of... Well... THIS world's version of... Her..."T he man skips around like a child. "Well... I am currently cold, vexed, and interested in the Multiversal dynamics of this place. Been here to kill a Bear and I just LOVE eating the GI-Ants around this place! So, I say....
His name is...
"Hocus pocus, motherfuckers..." sigh Prometheus, from The Blood of the Aswangs novel.
Yep...
This is a sequel to the Blood of the Aswang...
UH... Yay!
Prometheus sneers. "Somethin' tells me I'm gonna get by just fine."
Prometheus walks around like a robot. "Meep morp wekapipo... Bleep bleep bloop bloop... ALL HAIL, MEEEEE!!! YA HEAR THAT, MASTER BEATLE!?!? I AM NOW BETTER THAN YOU EVER WILL BE!!!! KRRRYEEEEEAH!!! Call it a foolish venture... But I say, I'd be home by Christmas... WAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!!! HUMANITY IS MY BITCH, DAWG!!! KRRYEEEEAAAAHOOOOO!!!"
