[The feed cut on, though the female the dreamberry in question belonged to didn't seem to notice. She was talking to herself, a puzzled sound to her tone. As for what the dreamberry was looking towards, it certainly wasn't the girl's face. It was currently focused on the ground, seeing as that's where it currently laid.]What...what's going on? This

[With Isabelle dead, Atoli gone, things are just falling to hell. He can't find any leads, and the police and himself just bounce off each other as bad as he did with Pi and Yata. And Amaterasu is telling him it's okay, it's not his fault but how is it not his fault and great another broadcast with no leads--]

[ofredemption]

[And his eyes catch the screen---and he catches a glimpse of that familiar yellow hair.]

3.

[ofredemption]

[and he stares, almost gawking. It's--]

Atoli..? [why is she pointing with the hand? she never does that. quickly dismisses it. she's back, she's back and it's not safe. how long has she been out by herself? he reigns in the emotions flashing across his face.]

4. done, hurp.

[ofredemption]

[And what is she talking about? He can ask later, now she needs to get inside, at least where it's safe. He doesn't really take into account how different he might look, or if she'd even recognize him. ]

Atoli, where are you right now?

1/2?

[idkmybffsakaki]

[When Atoli hears that all too familiar voice, her gaze shot down to the device in her hand.]

...Haseo?

yeah, done.

[idkmybffsakaki]

[She couldn't help but be confused at what she saw.]

Haseo? You look -- [He certainly sounded like Haseo. He even knew her name. But he looked....well, very different.]

I'm....not really sure. This doesn't exactly look like anywhere I remember in The World... [And she's still trying to figure out when The World got cell phones.]

B)

[ofredemption]

[...so she's from before then. but--he couldn't remember what she said, he was so busy running through where she was]

..Yeah, it's me. I can explain why, later. [a sigh.]
Look we're..not in The World anymore. I know it's hard to believe, but you have to trust me on this one.

Start describing where you are, I'm coming to get you.

1/2. x3

[idkmybffsakaki]

Oh, okay? [She's just going to nod to that first comment, but then when he said they weren't in The World anymore-]

done~

[idkmybffsakaki]

W-What? We're not....? [She couldn't help but be a little hesitant about that at first. Even when they had been in the AIDA server, they were still technically in The World. And just like that time, trying to remove her M2D was a waste. There was nothing to remove.]

Is this....is this another AIDA server? [She's trying to hold down her panic, but it's clear she's shocked. The last time they were in an AIDA server wasn't exactly a pleasant memory.]

[ofredemption]

It's..not an AIDA server. It's a completely different thing. It's a place called Somarium.

[he doesn't want to lie and say it's safe but---]
Atoli, just start describing where you are, okay? [he's getting more and more anxious. he doesn't know if whatever killed Isabelle is gone for good. he's walking around near the Scarecrow patch, where people usually end up. where he ended up]

[idkmybffsakaki]

Something...different? B-But--! [How was that even possible? If she wasn't in The World, then how was she her character? And Haseo was his character too.

She's...really overwhelmed by this, but she nods, deciding to move the feed to where Haseo can see the area. Sure enough, there's the patch of Scarecrow in the distance, so he wasn't too terribly far away.]

[ofredemption]

...Well, we were both in The World before we got here. It's some weird place that takes you from wherever you are and brings you here. Whether it's our real bodies or not doesn't seem to make a big difference.

[he begins walking further down the path, blinking as he spots her. He begins walking towards her, tentatively, but there's this sad sort of relief in his voice at seeing her okay--]

Atoli!

[idkmybffsakaki]

H-How is that even possible? [It certainly didn't make sense to her. She was just...so confused. Her mind was trying to wrap around everything Haseo was telling her. As crazy as it sounded, she trusted him. Haseo wouldn't lie to her about something like this...

Knowing he was coming for her, she grew quiet. She waited patiently, though she was anxious to see Haseo. Maybe things would make more sense.

....Maybe.

Seeing Haseo coming, she tried to smile, but it wasn't working so well. And as usual, her right hand hung limply at her side, her left hand gripped her right elbow.]

Haseo...I...I-I'm scared.... What's going on?

[ofredemption]

[he noted that, and he inwardly frowned, before scratchng the back of his head. he couldnt sugarcoat it.]

I know it's hard to believe, but it's true. We're in a completely different place--the only good thing about is that we're just asleep in the real world. Time doesn't pass at all while we're here, so once we get back, everything's back to normal. At least--you did. You were only gone for a few weeks...-

C'mon. We can talk where I'm staying. It's not safe out here right now. [his tone was serious, brooking no argument.]

[idkmybffsakaki]

I-I...I believe you, Haseo... [But that didn't exactly make it any easier to understand.]

So...this...is a dream? [She's sort of following, but the her being here before confused her all over again.] You're saying...I've been here before? But I don't...[Gah, so confused.

And...wait. Not safe?] It's dangerous here, too?

1/2

[ofredemption]

Yeah, think of it as a really active dream.
...So you don't remember then. [voice quieter, contemplative, regretful?]

People can come back here and forget ever being here in the first place. It's just how this damn place works. Also..people come from different times, too, that explains why I probably look different to you. [he turns to gauge her reaction, only to stare mutely at her--her arm.]
