Where am I?!

[legendary_rogue]

The door to the bar was suddenly flung open, propelled as much by a gust of rain-laden wind as the figure who'd turned the handle. He dashed inside, seeking shelter from the storm, and slammed the door shut behind him

Delphinus has noticed that the bar's been quiet since he woke up in his booth. And Vyse looks new, never mind wet. Curious as usual, the not'human walks over, smiling friendlily. "Hi!"

[legendary_rogue]

"Hello! I'm Vyse, captain of the Wanderbird. ...Where is this?"

That had to sound pretty strange, but Vyse didn't care. It certainly wasn't the inn! Where he was, or how he'd come to be there, he had no idea - but he'd better find out! It almost reminded him of those strange doors on the Great Silver Shrine, seemingly simply a couple of pillars with some kind of field between them, yet one that somehow led to another place altogether...

[OOC: If his new ship has an official name, I don't know it. So I named it. Hee...]

"I'm Delphinus, and this is someplace really, really weird. But it's actually a pretty nice place to be at." Delphinus grins. "It has a lake out back, but it's kinda boring since there's no one there."

[legendary_rogue]

Delphinus? Vyse's surprise was evident. That was the name of the ship he'd sailed all around the world, the ship that had defeated even the Gigas, the ship so powerful in the hands of a skilled captain that Enrique, now Emperor of Valua, had decided never to use it again! It certainly wasn't a name he'd expected to hear on a person.

Vyse's surprise confuses Delphinus. He blinks once, then says "Uh... did I say something weird?"

[legendary_rogue]

Delphinus probably got that kind of reaction a lot these days. That ship was known all around Arcadia. Vyse smiled, a little embarrassedly.

"Not really. I just didn't expect to hear that name again!"

[ecco_dolphin]

"What, Delphinus?" He's still confused. "Where'd you hear it before - as the name of a constellation?" Maybe it was really weird to be named after constellations?

[legendary_rogue]

"...It was the name of a ship."

It was Vyse's turn to be confused now. Just about everywhere he went, people had heard of the Delphinus. Quite a lot of them had seen it, too - he had sailed it all the way around the world.

"My friends and I were the first people to sail around the world, and the Delphinus was the ship we did it in. We used her to defeat the Gigas and stop Galcian and Ramirez from taking over the world!"

Vyse smiled, remembering that long adventure. It had made him and his friends famous - but far more importantly than that, it had taught them all so many things, about hope, about courage, about friendship... and had saved the world.

And Delphinus stared at Vyse rather blankly.

"Wow. Sounds important. Well, uh, I've been a dolphin until recently, so maybe that's why I've never heard of it?"

He's got different timelines down oh so very well. Just not different realities.

[legendary_rogue]

"...Been a dolphin?"

And now it was his turn to look a little blank, too. It sounded similar to the Delphinus, but obviously wasn't a name, or rather, not an individual one. A name for members of some sort of society, maybe? A wild guess, and one nowhere near the truth, any more so than any of his others.

"Yeah. I got changed into a human by a magician-guy. It's awfully lonely and boring out in the lake out back, and since I can actually talk to the people around here as a human, I've been staying in this form."
