first departure [video]

[The face of a young woman with long blue hair appears in the mirror; she hasn't strayed far from the clearing she started in just yet, though she's obviously found and put on her regular uniform. She's frowning, but there's a hint of intrigue in her expression; it's not hard to tell that the vines are different from the sort of technology she's ( Read more... )

We seem to be of the same mind, then. I've begun investigating this strange place, but haven't been able to find out anything yet.

But what does fate have to do with anything? I don't intend to believe in any notion as flimsy as that.

Let me know if you do learn anything. I can pass on any information I can get as well, if you want.

When did I mention-- [It quickly occurs to her what Naoto's on about] Fayt's a person, actually. Fayt Leingod. He's... an ally of mine. I don't know if he ended up here as well, but if you see a guy around my age with blue hair and a sword, make sure I'm the first to know.

... I should introduce myself at this point, shouldn't I? [Her expression softens somewhat, though she still looks serious and professional] I'm Maria Traydor, leader of the anti-Federation group Quark.

I agree, it would be best for us to all pool information. I've met some other like-minded people as well. If we cooperate, we should be able to make headway faster.

...I'll do that. Although thus far, I haven't encountered any males. That could be a vital clue to this mystery.

Anti-Federation? ...my name is Naoto Shirogane. I am a detective.

Working together does seem like it would be the best approach to this.

No men at all? That is strange. If that's the case, I wonder what's the purpose of bringing only women here? I just hope it isn't some sick prank.

You haven't heard of the Federation? [There's a bit of a contemplative look on her face at this point, as if she's guessing that Naoto is from a different world from her] I don't know if it's worth explaining it in this situation, but... the Pangalactic Federation's the major government in the galaxy. It's frankly an oppressive system, and so Quark's role is to use mediation to aid those planets that seek independence from it. That's where I come from, at least.

Anyway, good to know you, Naoto.

I don't think she's listening anymore. I haven't seen or heard from her in a while.

But about those cats, I've been wondering about them... mostly about if we need to be able to speak cat.

I haven't heard anything else from her either. Frankly, I find her rather suspicious.

[The idea of possibly having to speak cat makes her cringe a bit] That would be a major pain if that's the case. Considering the scroll I got told me to talk to the cats, it had better not be true, otherwise someone out there's playing a bad joke on us.

What? You don't think it's completely suspicious?

Or is just assuming too much about us. "Oh, well I can speak to them, so everyone else should be able to as well!" Something like that.

It's hard to know what's going on with that woman, given how little most of us know at this point.

Wouldn't that be ridiculous.

The short answer is that you've been spirited away here, for who knows what reason. Would you like the long answer?

[video] quarkleader November 27 2010, 23:55:09 UTC
I'd certainly appreciate a longer answer, if there's any further information to be had.

[video] Stupid question: Did you post on the OOC comm? border_phantasm November 28 2010, 00:15:14 UTC
Well let's see.

This place is unlikely to be your universe of origin, the population seems to be entirely female, there seems to be a point where this land becomes bounded with mist, the people you are looking for are possibly still where you were before arriving, oh and there's clearly powerful magic at work here.

Anything I haven't covered?

[video] I've only just made my intro now. >> quarkleader November 28 2010, 12:43:41 UTC
I'd already figured out some of that thanks to Naoto, but thanks for the info all the same.

I don't suppose there's any way of getting back to our own worlds at this stage, is there?

You're not the only one pissed off that they dragged here during an important mission.

quarkleader November 28 2010, 22:27:10 UTC
In my case, the fate of the entire universe is at stake! If I get out of here to find that I won't even have a world to go back to, the Queen's gonna have a lot to answer for.

You're also military? We've been getting a lot of that lately.

Major Anna Lin, from some backwater world you've probably never heard of.

My group doesn't have formal military ranks, actually.

Maria Traydor, leader of Quark.

Interesting name for a country...

What do you know about the situation so far?

Reply

quarkleader November 29 2010, 14:33:01 UTC
Quark isn't a country. It's an anti-Federation group that started in the Klaus system, but it's expanded a lot since then, to the point where the Pangalactic Federation itself can't just ignore us anymore. I'm an Earthling myself, but... it's a long story, and I don't know how relevant any of this is to the situation at hand.

[She's now making a bit of a mental note to only refer to herself as leader of a rebel group from now on; she figures it'll save on any more explanations and/or misunderstandings]

From what I've gathered, there's no men here at all, we've been pulled in from God knows how many different worlds, looking for any companions we might've had before coming here is most likely futile, and there's no way we can get back home. In other words, someone's landed us in a very strange mess.
