[Matt finds himself in an awkward sprawl on the floor. He gets up and looks around, rubbing a hand over the back of his neck. His first thought's Kira, but if he were behind this, surely Matt would be dead by now. And a church? No, it doesn't feel like Kira's doing

[Finishing your sentence:] A city.

[final_letter]

It's this city, yeah?

[A short laugh, deliberately directed mostly at himself.]

[deviousintent]

It's on most of the signs.

[final_letter]

You from here too?

[Sizing him up discreetly.]

[deviousintent]

I'm from Japan.

[final_letter]

Hm. I've never been. I'm Matt, by the way.

[deviousintent]

[Shrug.] I'm Hikaru.

[final_letter]

Like Sulu?

[A big grin - uh oh, geek mode activated.]

[deviousintent]

Sulu?

[final_letter]

Hikaru Sulu? Helmsman on the Enterprise...? You have no idea what I'm talking about, do you?

[deviousintent]

Le sigh] I wonder what gave you that idea.

[final_letter]

It's OK. I'm used to it.

So, what brings you to Template?

[deviousintent]

It sounds like you think we came here by choice.

[final_letter]

Yeah, about that...

[He glances around, then tips his head in the direction he was walking to indicate he's continuing on.]

It happens a lot? People just kinda crash-landing?

[deviousintent]

[This is the first time he's heard of someone from Template. Maybe you're just one of those people-- but since you can see him, that doesn't make sense.]

You mean you live here?

[final_letter]

Not for a long time. Honestly, I didn't expect to ever come back.

[He's not sure why he felt that way; just that the longer he was gone, the more he forgot Template existed at all. That's not normal, is it?]
