begin the setup? [video]

[ the video turns on to reveal -- white. That's it: just a white background, without a hint of any kind of Siren's Port scenery. Weird. A few moments pass with nothing happening, but then, a form begins to phase into existence. It's staticky at first, almost like a broken TV, but soon the shape settles, and an adult, silver-haired man appears,

Greeters don't tell anyone much these days, huh.

[uraniumnumnum]

[ oh god where are all these humans coming from. what's going on even. For the moment, at least, he's realized that We're Not In Michelangelo City Anymore, Toto. ]

I haven't got a damned clue what you're talking about. Why don't you make yourself useful and give me an explanation for all of this yourself, boy?

[madeinoblivion]

Don't talk down like that to me again, or this is all the information you'll be getting.

You're in a city called Siren's Port.

It sort of sucks people in, from different worlds, different places...even different times. Because we've all got special powers, supposedly...sometimes powers we don't even know we've got yet.

There's a darkness here that happens at night, after the sirens- that's when the monsters come out, and it's more dangerous.

There's no way of leaving the island without the pull dragging you back.

I'll speak however the hell I want to. No one can control me.

[ but he does shut up to listen, because he needs info. He doesn't like what he hears. ]

...You're seriously suggesting that I'm in some type of alternate dimension?

[madeinoblivion]

Something like that.

[uraniumnumnum]

And you expect me to believe something that ridiculous? I'll give you credit for creativity. Do you honestly think me that foolish?

[madeinoblivion]

You can believe me or not, but anyone else you ask will tell you the same thing.

[uraniumnumnum]

Then you and your shortsighted friends should think of a more logical lie. It's practically an impossibility. Why don't you tell me who brought me back instead? Hm?

[madeinoblivion]

Back from what?

[uraniumnumnum]

Oblivion. Are you that ignorant?

[madeinoblivion]

You're from Oblivion too!?

... lol how did I not realize that when I typed it sdlfkjsdf

[uraniumnumnum]

What are you talking about?

[ unless this is the afterlife or something. ash doesn't believe in android hell ]

[madeinoblivion]

I'm...I came from Oblivion too.

[uraniumnumnum]

Oh? Now you're saying that you're dead? This is rich.

[madeinoblivion]

Riku says I died. He defeated me. But I'm alive here, so- Guess that's not all true, huh.

Who are you?

[uraniumnumnum]

I have a hard time believing that you wouldn't already know. But I will jolt your poor memory. I am Ash.
