[Video] Rule 12

[oh_neku_dear]

My, my, what a curious stranger we had just received. A shame he couldn't stay for the holidays, hm?

[Joshua is seen casually sitting on his bed, seemingly unconcerned by the recent happenings. Unconcerned as in it was normal to see someone pass through a supposedly impenetrable barrier.]A special person who can come and go as he or she wishes

You saw him too?

I thought it rather strange that he was able to wander in here like that. I wonder if it means anything.

[oh_neku_dear]

Anyone near the plaza would've seen him, unless occupied with something else.

It must mean something to Mister Alpha, at least.

[shard_finder]

I...guess that's true. I wonder if his presence means bad times for us. If he angers Alpha, then won't we feel the effects of it?

[oh_neku_dear]

Perhaps, perhaps not. Dear Alpha seems to care for us in his own strange ways.

[empathic_kitty]

It could have been their gear. This place is deep enough that no normal dive gear wouldn't hold up.

[oh_neku_dear]

So, you believe that the gear is what allowed him to pass through the barrier?

[empathic_kitty]

It could be. It would make more sense than something about him specifically allowing it.

[oh_neku_dear]

True, the gear could have been specifically made to pass through the barrier. So, with this line of reasoning, what can you theorize concerning the fact that someone, regardless of how, managed to enter and leave our little bubble?

[ Have a nosy journalist. ]

My question would be "where would our diver friend come from". We've all been pulled here from different realities. Does he come from another one or from the reality Vatheon belongs to.

But how did he manage... to pass through the barrier?

video; forever~

[oh_neku_dear]

[He loves nosy journalists, Luka. Beware.]

I believe he's someone outside of our little bubble. There's reason to believe that this community is only a small piece of the puzzle this world brings us.

An excellent question, one I'd like to know myself. It seems this barrier has more properties to it than anyone originally thought it had.

same here~

[xlillackeykitty]

[ ...Oh hey, they finally met. This guy won't shut up. ]

It's a really big puzzle if you ask me. Do we even know where we are? What ocean we're in? I'm sure this is an ocean. It's way too vast, much too deep .
And the barrier...
One way properties, possibly? Or selective? It's meant to keep certain things out and certain things in? It's not the people. It's the bubble itself. That's what I'm guessing.

[oh_neku_dear]

[Great! Now we can have some NORMAL CR!]

To be fair, I think the answers to those questions would be best left for us to talk about in person.

[There's an unspoken question, here. It's seen in his eyes, and only hinted at in his tone of voice. "Can you guess why we would need to meet in person?"]

[first_scorned]

[ An absent shrug. Oh, he has his theories. ]

Perhaps if we're lucky, he was delivering an eviction notice.

[oh_neku_dear]

[Good, good. They can theorize when there aren't any prying ears.]

Hee hee, I doubt our luck is that good, Naoya.

[Sora's just all out of sorts now, kthx. Looks like you get to deal with him Josh. Have fun.]

What's going on?! How come he can get through the barrier just like that!? What's that even supposed to mean?

Alpha better hurry up and explain all this stuff, 'cause everybody wants answers!

[Video]

[oh_neku_dear]

[Oh, Sora. Well, at least there'll be some more CR between them, now!

He's also very amused at the kid's reaction.]

It means that there's more to this little bubble than we first thought. Not to mention this indicates something very interesting.

[Joshua giggles.]

Oh, I rather doubt Mister Alpha is going to tell us much.

[Video]

[lockandkeyblade]

[And somewhere in a small CR chart in the vast expanse of internet, a yellow table with Joshua's icon in it was born. Sora huffs.]

Well what are we supposed to do then? If they want us here for some reason, Alpha should just tell us already! Then we can hurry up and go home.

[A pause. Looks at the screen.]

... What's so interesting?

[Video]

[oh_neku_dear]

[Sora, you know way too many people, you whore. He lazily stretches his arms.]

Now, now, no need to get so impatient. Dear Alpha won't tell us much because it's not part of his agenda, though I'm certain he's well aware that we'll eventually figure out the truth, or something close to it.

[A calm smile-smirk is given to him.]

Simply stated, Vatheon isn't the only city any longer with this bit of evidence we've acquired.
