Suddenly something relatively soft hit him on the head and bounced off. He paused and looked up then down at the ground around him. There was a bagel sitting innocently on the ground. Zelos blinked then bent down and picked it up, leaning his sword against his shoulder, pointing skywards.
"What the... Animus playing around again?" He examined it, and noticed the tiny black seeds covered the darkly colored bagel. "Poppyseed..." He sniffed it and frowned. "Poppy seed pumpernickel bagel? ...Sounds interesting." It had hit the ground though, so Zelos wasn't about to try it. Icky icky dirt and the like. Zelos shifted his sword then stopped, noting an odd weight about it. He looked at the sword and found that two additional bagels had speared themselves on the sword.
"...Maybe I should get an umbrella or something to catch some bagels in...."

HELL YES.
Topher loved bagels!
Well ok, the man loved anything starchy but bagels with cream cheese, lox and big cup of coffee? Breakfast of champions, manfriend. Or..in his case usually lunch because he was never that 'with it' in the morning.
Needless details. What mattered was FREE BAGELS! He was so on this. In fact Topher was so focused on gathering bagels he didn't notice how far he'd wandered from the lab. That is, until he saw another guy with long red hair collecting food with his...sword.
Wow. Random.
He wasn't sure if he should wave at the guy or just keep collecting food with the salavaged backpack he had on his shoulder.
Cause really? Using your sword to pick up bagels? TOTALLY BAD ASS...until you piss the guy off and he comes after you with the bagel sword. Then it was just not cool.

Zelos wondered briefly why the animus seemed to prefer bakery products as opposed to fruit or even meat.
But ever one to be moderately friendly, he waved with the hand holding the poppy seed-pumpernickel bagel.
"Hello."

Great so the Bagel Swordsman had spotted him. Topher raised his hand to give him a wave--
--and then winced when a egg bagel landed smack on the top of his head.
"OW. I hate you, egg bagel!!" He gave it a vicious kick.
Great first impression, boyo.
Still rubbing his head, he nodded at the stranger.
"Hi. Ah..heads up?"
Reply
"Yeah, thanks." SPEAK OF THE BAGELS AND THEY WILL APPEAR. Two fell in rapid succession one onto Zelos head and one onto his sword. He blinked and then nudge the one that had bounced off his head his his boot. "Hmmm? Whole-wheat and raisin?"
He walked a short distance to a rock and bent down to grab something. He came back with a shield shaped like a star and tucked it under his arm, before walking towards the man.
"I don't think we've met." Zelos stopped a few feet from the man. "I'm Zelos, Zelos wilder."

Whatever he really needed to stop asking questions bout this place, it always led to nowhere. Topher watched the stranger pick up a shield--really? A shield? Was there a castle he was about to storm somewhere?--before walking back to introduce himself.
"Topher. Topher Brink." He held out a hand cautiously. "Is there a particular reason you're armed to the teeth there or is it just a fashion statement?"
Cause really all he had was a t-shirt, plaid long sleeve over that with jeans and sneakers. Oh and a backpack. If there were monsters nearby he was totally unprepared for it.

"Nice to meet you Topher." He shook Topher's hand then bent and grabbed his shield again.
"Huh? Armed to the... Oh. Stuff from home. Before I came here I was traveling, so it came with me. And i was just exercising before the bagel's came so, I had them with me." He looked up and then moved his shield so it was over Topher's head. A bagel bounced off it.
"Lacking umbrella's a shield will do in a pinch." He grinned.
Reply
He watched the bagel bounce off the shield with a lopsided grin. "Nice. I guess when there are no dragons to slay, you can swashbuckle with bagels!" He pantomimed stabbing something with his left hand and smirked. "I guess we're both lucky its not raining cream cheese."
He paused for a second, watching the bagel rain before continuing.
"So I'm guessing since you know your real name, that you're not one of the memory loss tree people that everyone's been talking about. Have you met one of them yet? I dunno how long they're staying but I keep half expecting to run into someone I know only not."
Reply
Zelos laughes. "Yes, those vicious vicious bread products. How will we survive." He smiles.
He blinks when Topher talks about memory loss tree people. Zelos hasn't run into anyone like that yet.
"Err...what? No, I haven't run into any memory loss tree people...?"
Reply
Oh so this guy hadn't heard about Edensphere. Topher tilted his head. "For realies, you haven't heard about the elevator to the sky? The crazy doubles of people here that have no memories and live in a giant tree? The ones who DIE if you tell them too much about themselves?! Where have you been, pal?"
Reply
...A what? What what WHAT?! Zelos stares at Topher. "Nnnnnnnno." He draws the word out slow before continuing. "No I haven't. And I've been, well, here mostly. I haven't got around to exploring a lot."
Reply
He paused and then laughed. "Ok so there's this elevator somewhere nearby. It looks like it goes to nowhere but it actually--I poo you not--sends you to another world. A giant Tree world. Inside there's a bunch of people, a lot of which look like people here in Ad! Only they don't have any of their memories. Don't ask me why, I have no idea. ...Ya might want to check it out or avoid it depending on how brave you are."
Reply
Zelos stared at him. "Ah." I poo you not? What? "I'd rather not actually. Don't really want to run into someone from my world who I won't be able to talk too. Or myself, which is a possibility." Zelos shrugs. "It's not a lack of bravery, but more like a lack of interest."
Reply
That logic made perfect sense to Topher, especially since he was almost a professional coward. "Smart man!"
Reply
"Thank you." He looked at his sword then pulled the bagels off it. "Want them? Swords clean."

The first ones to try and hit her had met an unfortunate end under the pressure of the hereditary Hyuuga taijutsu technique. Right now, taking cover looked more productive and she hurried along when she noticed someone ... strangely familiar.
She'd met him. But she'd been small then. She was sure they had exchanged names, though. She thought for a second and it came back to her.
"... Selos ?"
