Conflict://001 - Night: [Video + Accidental Teneka --> Text]

[notglitching]

[The Portal display is dark. But there’s faint light, twisted in reflection, and after a moment, it pans out slightly to give a better view. A black mask. A helmet. It’s smooth, completely opaque, with a few dashes of color to the sides-glowing red-orange from within. It tilts slightly, as if observing

Are you....okay? You sound kind of out of it.

[notglitching]

Fully functional.

Designation?

J-Just pretend that said 'Teneka' fffff

[savior_n_black]

Kurosaki Ichigo.

Listen, do you know where you are? I mean, are you lost, or confused or something?

[ Because all that word babble sounds like you're riding that crazy train pretty hard mister 8|; ]

[text] Already did. :D And crazy train? What crazy train... >.>

Location unknown. Data requested.

Teneka; THE ONE RIDING OFF THE RAILS ALL OVER THE PORTAL RIGHT NOW FFFFF

[savior_n_black]

...Right

Well, you're in a place that calls itself 'Promenade'. It's a big city of dreams. Your dreams, my dreams, everybody's dreams all mixed up together somehow.

A lot of things are different here, which is why we're talking this way. At night, everyone in the city loses their voices. In the daylight -- actually, you know what? Did you get the files or anything yet?

[text] You see nothing. But text. Nice, sane text.

[notglitching]

[There's no answer a while.]

No.

Nonvocal communication?

Teneka; Sure, man. Whatever you say. /side eyes

[savior_n_black]

These right here. Hold on...

Okay. That should cover most things, but there's stuff you'll need to know that's not covered in these. We need to have a big update on information, I guess.

[text] You doubt him?! Just look at that face! ...helmet.

[There's a pause. Longer than it would take to receive the files and glance at them-but far shorter than it should take to read through all the data.]

This. is accurate?

Teneka

[savior_n_black]

It's as accurate as we've found. I've been here for over eight months, and I can vouch for this stuff. It's true.

Be careful of saying anything publicly personal on the PORTALS, though. Just because the people who run this place can see whatever you might have to say.

[No. No, no, no... this was a lie. Or a Game. Something.

...Available data confirmed...]

Acknowledged.

...Purpose?

teneka;

[savior_n_black]

...huh? What Purpose?

[text]

[notglitching]

Of this location. Situation. [Game.]

teneka;

[savior_n_black]

[ You're mostly just confusing him, now. ]

Um...well, we're not sure? The royals say we were always here, but I think that's a load of crap.

A lot of people have been trying to figure out what the point of bringing us all here, then keeping us all here would be. So far? Nothing solid, yet.

[He'd apologize, except, well, he wouldn't. Plus Rinzler's beginning to doubt the reality of any of this.

If it is real, though... an uncomfortable number of possibilities flicker through his processing. He doesn't like any of them.]

Acknowledged.

Request: more data if acquired.

teneka;

[savior_n_black]

Are you asking me to tell you more stuff if I find out?

[text]

[notglitching]

...

Yes.
