Day 1
K’gan woke to a calming blue screen
Don’t Panic
To K’gan this seemed like the most obvious and true thing he had ever perceived and the thought of ignoring this sage advice seemed anathema to him. Why would anyone ever panic when this kind screen advised him not to.
Blinking the screen seemed to shrink much to Keegans dismay and his calm demeanor started to crack as he took in his surroundings.
A dark cave filled densely with plants and small glowing eyes in the darkness. As his heart rate began to rise the shrinking blue screen enlarged rapidly and once again he felt like his previous fear was misplaced as the screen could never lead him astray.
This time the screen shrank but not as much as before and moved to the side of his vision still providing a comforting message that seemed to sooth him without blocking his sight of his surroundings until a second far less glorious blue screen appeared.

A cascade of neverending prompts cept scrolling on and on until finally a new red screen which issued forth a vague feeling of despair, finality and acceptance appeared and all the other alerts save his all important panic free screen collapsed into.

And once again his surroundings fade to black.
Keegan stoops down with a grunt hefting the tiny weight then reaching up to his full height gently lodging the squirming ball of fur at the top of a low hanging branch where it silently pur in contentment. Patting his back to relieve the painful tension he gives a side eye to the very happy kitten now stuck up a tree.
“Now see here Mr. Wiggles we have discussed this multiple times. I understand that you enjoy the idea of being in the tree and that you happily agreed to be placed in it but cat decorum dictates that you act pitiful and beg for assistance to get down.
Yes I know you can get down. I understand you are an independent minded feline and do not need the assistance of a human to get down but this was all in the agreement. You need to pretend to need help or this won’t work
I don’t care what the dachshund down the street will say. He’s just a weiner dog and you can tell him, I said that and I’d say it again right to his snout!”
With a roll of it’s eyes the small ball of fur began to meow in a fashion that seemed both to lack any urgency and carried a sarcastic tone.ithe
With a small smirk Keegan starts to whistle a happy toon until he sees a distraught young girl
“Mr Keegan, have you seen Mr. Wiggles? I’ve been looking for him everywhere and I can’t seem to find him.”
“Ah, the lovely Princess Geniveve!” His old bones crackled as he did a small courtly bow to witch the girl perked up slightly and whale still somewhat upset, reciprocated with a small kirtsey.
“I believe I saw him in yonder tree and was just about to alert your majesty” Making a small gesture over to the tree in question.
Spotting her kitten, who continued to sarcastically meowing the most melodramatic fashion afforded to a cat, which to be fair is quite a lot as cats are naturally gifted in this department, she rushed over to try and retrieve it but failed miserably as it was much too high.
Undaunted from the small drama taking place behind him, Keegan walked over to a Well built man removing boxes from a moving truck.
“Young man, a say young man. I believe that child could use a little help and these old bones can’t really move like they used to.”
Slightly taken aback by this strange old man the young man stared. HIs appearance was definitely distinctive. The first blaring thing to note was the strange pinstriped suit the color of old spanish moss, grey but with just a hint of green to it,hanging off his gnarled bent frame. HIs beard also resembled Spanish moss as it draped voluminously down body. HIs ornate cane planted firmly holding him steadily in place while a deep set grey eye pierced him with an intense stare.
“Well young man, are you just going to stare at me at me like I’m your long lost sweetheart or will you go help that nice young girl over there.”
Jogged out of his daise and with a mild chuckle he replied,”Sure old timer”
Rhe young man walked over to the now visible upset little girl and started the process of coxing a non-cooperative kitten out of the tree while keegan continued to walk forward now with a much more sping in his step as he started to hum a fun little song that was a classic before he was born.
“~Where have all the good men gone
And where are all the gods”
“Keegan have you seen my daughter she just ran off again” A frantic woman with short blonde hair like fire questioned.
“Oh Bonnie, she’s right over there. That nice man who’s moving in next door to you is helping her get Mr. Wiggles out of a tree.”
“Tyla what have I told you about running off without talking to me. Thanks Keegan.” She gave a hastey farewell as she beat a path in persuit of her quarry.As background music began to resinate around the old man.
“~I’m holding out for a hero till the morning... Oh shit!”
Keegan’s singing was cut off hastily by the impact of a very large white truck. With the vanity plate of KUN Trucking in the front.
Agent French once again vomited into a small bag while Agent Guese drove on without stopping.
“Pftt, rookies.” Guese muttered quietly as she gave French a side eye.
“How can you be ok with this, I know the mission and I know it is important but jesus H Christ you just splatted that man across the windshield”
“Sack up Rookie, That was a potentially Keter class Reality binder. If you hadn’t noticed the surroundings were slowly turning into some kind of romantic comedy drama and the music is making me believe he was in the middle of setting off a musical in broad daylight. He already was manipulating causality and he was clearly also a dolittle with that whole talking to animals thing. Now call it into the foundation, thankfully we managed to isekai that fuck before the itnaritive took.”
French got up and headed to the back of the van as instructed.
“Base this is French calling in we are going to need a thalmatic cleansing and the use of Amnestics. Target neutralized.”
Glancing at the replay on the displays he voiced another concern,”Is it me or does he not seem to be in pain before he was finished in the Isekai process and look there I sware he is giving me the finger.”
“Good thing he’s gone or we could be in some real shit.”
“Where do they go when they are isekai’d.”
“Nobody knows Rookie and we aim to keep it that way. be happy that it is not here.”
