DAY ONE [VOICE POST; ENGLISH]

[rookied]

...

Hello? Is anyone out there?

This is Aya Brea, 17th precinct.

Please respond.

[ a pause ]

.. I don't understand what happened... she was right there..

... I feel different... Colder.

... What's going on?

[ the sound of footsteps ]

... Well, whatever it is, I can't keep my guard down.

You're in a city called Discedo. This has a map and an explanation. You need to get off the streets and to safety.

[rookied]

...

... This is insane. It has to be another hallucination. I don't believe it.

[mostly_spice]

You don't have to believe it. But if you stay on the street, a monster's going to show up, and it's not going to care what you believe.

Safety's marked on the map. Do you need an escort?

[rookied]

Whatever the case, if this place has monsters, then it can't be that different from reality.

No. I'll be fine on my own.

..! There's a police station here. Good. Are there any officers stationed? I'd like to talk to them.

[mostly_spice]

You are talking to one. The name's Ashelin.

The police force is still being organized, but there's about a dozen of us for now.

[rookied]

...

Well. I guess it's my lucky day.

I want to know if any of you have heard of a woman named Melissa Pierce.

[mostly_spice]

I haven't heard of her, but that doesn't mean much. People come and go here constantly.

[rookied]

... I see.

What about "Eve?" Or "Mitochondrial Eve?" Does that sound familiar?

[mostly_spice]

...No. Sometimes people get pulled here without their friends. They might show up, but right now, I don't think they're here.

[rookied]

...

"Friends?" She--.. Hah. She's definitely not my friend. She's a murderer. I need to know if she's been here before because... I'm the only one that can stop her. I can't let any more people die because of her.

But.. if she's not here.. then...

...

[mostly_spice]

Noted.

Who'm I talking to?

[rookied]

Aya Brea. I'm a police officer with the NYPD.

[mostly_spice]

NYPD?

[rookied]

"New York Police Department."

[mostly_spice]

Another one from Earth, then.

If you want it, there's a spot on the force here. It's unorganized, there aren't any laws to enforce, and we're fighting an uphill battle the entire way, but...

No, there're really not an upside. Just needs to be done.

[rookied]

....?? This isn't Earth?

... No law system? What kind of....

...

I'm guessing.. I'm going to be stuck here for a while.. if you're making that kind of offer to me, right?
