… Hello?

[ A small blink, curious eyes glancing into the seal before a tiny gasp follows. He shrinks his head back- turning it from side to side before drawing a hand up to touch his face. This was unreal. It has to be. The miasma, Tear, and Anise- ]

Is it true? Am I really--

[ A pause. A very long pause. Before anything is spoken again, the

This isn't a dream, this is Splendor.

[daathicdocile]

[ The voice coming out of the seal made him jump with a little surprise, but he soon calmed himself. ]

Splendor? How interesting.

[ A pause, silence flooding the feed before-- ]

May I inquire as to how I appeared here?

[audio]

[nicepartner]

Did'ja see the music box?

[audio]

[daathicdocile]

I did. Though you mean to tell me it was the music box that brought me here? I only thought it was a dream...

voice;

[scalesandstuff]

I dunno. I don't think so!

voice;

[daathicdocile]

I see. But I was-- [ A pause. No, not going to get into that. ]

... Are you also a resident here?

[scalesandstuff]

Re-zee-dent. Yes.

Are you new and confused?

[daathicdocile]

I am new and... yes, very much confused. [ There's a sheepish laughter that follows. ]

[border_phantasm]

You are neither dreaming nor dead. Welcome to Splendor.

[daathicdocile]

But how could that be? The last thing I remember I was-- [ Well, dead.

He shakes his head, pushing a smile to his lips. ]

Thank you for the kind introduction. But... how interesting. This place is able to revive those whom were gone prior to arriving? [ He wasn't complaining, just... curious. ]

[border_phantasm]

Hard to say. It could be that. On the other hand, there have been reports that some have come here through dreams; so perhaps you merely had a dying dream.

[daathicdocile]

A dying dream? [ It takes a moment for him to register. He was certain he was dead before coming here. How weak his body was-- the sensation that wept over him in his last breaths. But then how-- ]

This is certainly useful information, I thank you again for answering my question. Though if I may ask... who are you?

Ion! \o/ [action]

[burnerv2]

[Every now and then Decus likes to stroll around the Gateway to help out anyone new in his free time. Meeting new people was something he began to enjoy ever since he came here.

He saw the young person and heard his quiet voice. But Decus wasn't as smart as people made him out to be ... or not, so he didn't know Ion was a boy.]

Well young lady, you are here at Splendor, a world away from your own in a completely different dimension.

BAHAHA. Oh Decus. <3 [action]

[daathicdocile]

[ Ion spots the passerby and blinks. A curious stare washing over his features. Could he be another resident? With a small smile Ion pushed a small smile to his features. Opening his mouth to greet Decus before--

.... Wait. Did he just call him-- ]

... A girl?

[ Flustered. So flustered. His eyes grow a little wide, the slightest hint of an embarrassed blush pinching his cheeks. ]

Ah, no sir-- I'm not-

[action]

[burnerv2]

[Ah, the flustering distracts him. It's adorable. Ion is adorable to Decus. He must reassure "her" that this situation is nothing to be flustered at.]

No need to be so formal. My name is Decus, and this world is nothing to fret over. It's a new experience for all those who happen to step foot in it.

Here we even have the ability to talk in each others heads. Pretty cool huh?

[action]

[daathicdocile]

[ Oh, he is adorable. In his own boyish type of way.

Did... he not hear him the first time? ]

Oh, my apologies. It's a pleasure to meet you, Decus. [ A sheepish smile. Considering wither the realization had really seeped in or not. ] I have grown a liking to it very quickly- everything seems to wonderful here!

Wha- how interesting! So you can read my thoughts?
