[Video] Entry 001

[The feed hisses briefly as it comes to life and for a moment all that fills the screen is...well, the ocean above and a soft glow around the edges due to the thing not too far away from the owner of the device. Several seconds pass before these are replaced by the face and shoulders of a certain general. One rather confused and wet General at that ( Read more... )

...Do you need a towel first?

[video] glorious_mercy July 22 2011, 20:19:21 UTC

...a towel would be appreciated yes. Do you have answers as where I am? [Location and information is more important at the moment than the fact he's soaked...despite the fact he's in wet leather, yes.]

[video] prominence_glow July 22 2011, 20:23:59 UTC

[Not according to Lea. He just got done babying another stoic-face newcomer, and he is on a ROLL. His priorities, man.]

Then you gotta tell me where you are, buddy. And sure. You're in Vatheon, an upside down reverse fishbowl between worlds. Also, how come no one ever introduces themselves anymore?

[video] glorious_mercy July 22 2011, 20:33:10 UTC

[Have a slight eyebrow raise.]

Generally if you desire to know someone else's name, you introduce yourself as well. My name is Sephiroth, General, First Class SOLDIER.

As for my location, there appears to be a massive glowing coral behind me if that helps you any. Do you have any information as to how I ended up in Vatheon? Or even as to why I find myself here?

Generally when you're asking questions to a bunch of strangers, you intro yourself, right? Anyway, I'm Lea. Dunno what that means, but it sounds important, the whole SOLDIER thing.

Oh! [He perks up.] That's Lamufao! It's a god. Or something. I'll be there soon, and we can talk then.

[video] glorious_mercy July 22 2011, 21:55:22 UTC

At first, Lea, I thought I was still on my world. [He's used to everyone knowing him at first sight and his reputation preceding him to places unfortunately.] Thus the lack of actual introduction.

[He gives the coral a brief glance over one armored shoulder.] I see. I'll be waiting then.

[And not too long after, a small redhead with a bunch of Chocobos following after him appears! He has a towel and some new clothes in a bag, plus food.

...Food makes everything better, okay.]

Hey there! 'Roth!

[Action] glorious_mercy July 22 2011, 22:37:09 UTC

[An eyebrow rose at the sight of the flock of birds following the child and he also notes the bag he carries. You're getting a little too familiar and informal with that nickname though Lea.]

Hello, Lea. I would appreciate it if you would use my full name.

[Action] prominence_glow July 22 2011, 22:56:52 UTC

But it's such a long name...

[Just. Handing over the towel.]

Anyway, Welcome to Vatheon, enjoy your stay, and ignore the random occurences of people appearing and disappearing. That kind of happens, and I don't think anyone can really... predict it.

[Action] glorious_mercy July 22 2011, 23:16:34 UTC

If you want, you can just use my title of General to address me. [Be glad he didn't request you call him sir. He takes the offered towel and uses it to get his hair out of his face and off his neck before laying it to rest over his shoulders and the hair there.]

Quite a greeting. Just what else can I expect out of this place beyond people getting dragged here against their will and vanishing the same way I suspect?

[Action] prominence_glow July 22 2011, 23:22:45 UTC

...You're kind of stiff, aren't you...? [Lea, show respect and use proper titles? Never.]

Well, every once in a while, strange things called 'curses' happen. Sometimes they're not that big a deal, and sometimes they're... bad. [Yes, his tone darkens. No, he's not over the last curse.] For example, one curse way before I was here apparently had rubber duckies raining down on the city. During another curse, you might have had your thoughts following you around in a weird little bubble.

[Action] glorious_mercy July 22 2011, 23:45:56 UTC

[He doesn't answer that question, Lea merely gets a 'look' from those feline-like green eyes, the elliptical pupils narrowing slightly. What do expect from a man who was raised and lived and breathed being a soldier his entire life.]

How is it possible for things like that to occur? And how often is 'every once in a while'? [He really didn't care for the sound of the last, his thoughts are for him alone and not for public viewing.]

[Action] prominence_glow July 22 2011, 23:56:06 UTC

[Lea is used to all sorts of looks from soldier-y people in authority. Trust him on this. So he just brushes the look off, and shakes his head with a frown.]

No one really knows. Maybe it's something Lamufao does to test or mess with people- he's the local god guy. Maybe it might even be a side effect of us being here. While we're needed to keep the barrier up, we might also be doing lots of other weird stuff.

But no one really knows, and the locals aren't talking.

[Action] glorious_mercy July 23 2011, 00:30:27 UTC

[You've caught his attention with one thing out of that explanation attempt.]

We're needed to keep the barrier up?

[Action] prominence_glow July 23 2011, 00:37:58 UTC

That's right. It's the reason we were brought here.

If I had to guess, it's probably an imperfect system, or needs a constant change- like watermills- to properly work right, which would explain why people appear and disappear from here.

[Action] glorious_mercy July 23 2011, 00:56:42 UTC

[At least he'd managed to locate the reason behind his getting yanked here in a manner of speaking.]

Just how, if I might ask, are we responsible for keeping the barrier up? Do you know?
