[4:30-Edge of the Safezone] lethal_scribe November 9 2008, 22:08:54 UTC
Zexion wandered quietly along the edge of the Safezone. He was currently looking for more test subjects. In particular; a Sandworm. He scowled slightly at his lack of success, and continued forth.

After a few minutes of walking at his slow pace, he spotted a figure in the distance and paused for a moment. It wasn't anyone he could recognize, so he had to be cautious. Not that he wasn't cautious around others anyway. He slowly crept closer, until he stood a few yards away before speaking.

"Hello?"

Crow didn't look up. He heard better than he saw, anyway. He was writing in his journal--the plain one, not the magical one. He closed it gently and lifted his head, expression neutral and calm.

"Hello." He greeted, bowing his head politely. He didn't recognize the other's voice. But then, this version of the wilderness was unlike others. People. And some of them familiar, some of them not. He wondered if this were stranger than the dinosaurs or not. Less teeth, at any rate.

"May I help you?" Not impatient, merely polite.

Zexion tilted his head slightly at this man. A journal? Was this man another scribe? His curiosity was sparked.

"Not likely. Are you new here? I do not believe I have seen you around before."

He replied calmly, his Lexicon held somewhat loosely at his side. This place was dangerous, he knew this and was always prepared to defend himself.

"You may not want to let your guard down around here."

Crow pushed his glasses absently up his nose. New? How to answer that. He was one of the older people in the tree, but this place was the Wilderness. And it held some... Interesting surprises this time around.

"You might say that." He replied finally. "Thank you for the warning. I am never unguarded in the wilderness. I am aware of the dangers." He thought he was anyway.

"My name is Crow." He added, watching Zexion carefully for any recognition. "I apologize for the belated introduction. Who might you be?" Oh so polite, formal, proper. He was finding the wilderness this time to be... Fascinating. He wondered if the blue-haired man was from the Tree, someone he hadn't met, or one of the residents of this ruined place.

Ingrained caution kept him from asking outright. This could, after all, be one of the traps that would get him untimely killed. He had no wish for a memory wipe.

Zexion continued to analyze this man, Crow. He peered through his silver bangs inquisitively as he responded.

"My name is Zexion. I too, am always prepared for this dangerous place."

He shifted the large black book to his other hand, as his right hand was growing tired. This man seemed...different to him. What was he capable of?

Zexion. Not a name he'd ever read within the journals. So the man belonged to the wilderness, and not to the 'Sphere proper, most likely.

"I am glad to hear that, Zexion-san. It is a pleasure to meet you." he glanced at the book the other carried and tilted his head slightly, bland and nonthreatening. Except for his eerie eyes and the aura of complete, contained calm.

"Would you mind telling me about this place, Zexion-san?" He asked, a neutral enough question.

Zexion nodded slightly, before he began.

"I suppose. This world is known as Adstringendum. People, creatures, practically anythig can be drawn into this failed experiment of space and time compression."

He noticed Crow look at the Lexicon for a moment, and then continued with his explanation.

"I have only been here for a few weeks, so there are most likely others who could explain it better than I. However, I am currently researching this place amidst the chaos in order to get a better grasp of the data of this world."

Crow listened intently, eyes almost closing as he processed the information. Was it true? Was it just another dream thought up by the tree and its eccentric master?

Without explaining himself, Crow drew a second journal from his pack, flipping it open and studying the pages intently for a moment. Conversations flowed in ink across the pages of the magical journal, and he closed the book, pressed the edge against his chin as he thought.

"Thank you Zexion-san. This place sounds most unique. So it is a place of strange meetings... What sort of research do you conduct, if I may ask?"

lethal_scribe November 9 2008, 23:20:56 UTC
Zexion smiled ever so faintly.

"I research just about everything betwixt and between. The creatures, the spirits, the inhabitants. I study them all. This place is a melting pot of sorts, a seemingly limitless source of information."

He nodded to himself slightly, it sounded about right. He did study everything here, maybe a little more on varying subjects, but it didn't matter.

Crow tapped a finger thoughtfully on his journal and stowed it back in his pack. "It certainly sounds intriguing, Zexion-san. If time and space are compressed here, as you say, then I can only imagine the wealth of information you can acquire."

The dark haired man studied Zexion silently for a moment. "What sort of spirits and inhabitants are there, if you do not mind my prying?"

Zexion tilted his head before responding.

"The inhabitants here are people from a multitude of othe worlds. Newcomers are always arriving, and some disappear. The spirits, are known as the Animus, and seem to despise the residents of this world."

Something similar to the tree then. Minus mention of hatching out of cocoons. Plus strange spirits. Crow wondered if he'd wandered into an alternate version of the tree, it would be one explanation.

"Interesting. That sounds somewhat like where I am from." He examined Zexion thoughtfully. "You've only been here a few weeks, correct? But you seem quite efficient in collecting information."

Zexion smirked, opening his book to thumb through the pages for a moment.

"I'm a scientist of sorts. Gathering data is something I'm good at."

He closed the Lexicon and returned it to his side.

Crow watched Zexion curiously. "I see, Zexion-san. I think you for the information you've shared so far. This place is certainly... Unusual." He looked upwards at the ruined sky--not that he could see it, really.

"I've been told there's no way out of here. Is that something you find to be true?"

Reply

lethal_scribe November 10 2008, 11:08:34 UTC
Zexion nodded to his first remark, this world was indeed very strange.

"Indeed it is unusual. I do believe there are ways out of this place, but I am not currently interested in searching for them."
