[The video feed starts with a bloodied up Sam laying on the ground in the fountain. At first, he is unmoving but then he suddenly sits up with a gasp just as the water starts up and rinses off the dried blood. He looks around wildly with heavy breaths, grabbing at the little holes in his shirt where the blood used to be. With a

Asking over the network works too-- this place is called The City, that's the name it goes by.

[srsbusinessk]

[The network, he gets. It's like the internet, and so far it seems a lot like a message board. Simple enough. The City though..]

Um, right, okay. My name's Sam. Can you tell me more about this place? I'm kind of..lost.

[guardianjoker]

Seeing as you just arrived, it's no wonder you're lost.

I'm Hinamori Amu, it's nice to meet you.

[ Voice ]

[guardianjoker]

Ah- right, as for this place...well it's essentially another world that pulls people in from all sorts of places.

The deities run this place and there are curses that happen every few days or so that last 24 hours usually.

...There's actually a lot of things-- I can send you a copy of the guide?

[ Voice ]

[srsbusinessk]

Nice to meet you too.

Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks!

[And now you have a guide sent to your device]

Alright-- there you go, it should be on your device.

[Pretend this is a few minutes later~]

Well, that's..thorough. And very informative. Yet somehow I still feel like I'm in some sort of messed up dream, or in one of Gabriel's tricks again. [Sigh]

[ Voice ]

[guardianjoker]

One of Gabriel's tricks again? You've had something like this happen before, is that what you mean?

...Well this place can be pretty hard to believe at first, but everything that's in there? It's all true.

[ Voice ]

[srsbusinessk]

Yeah. Getting pulled into alternate realities is almost an everyday occurrence for us by now.

[With a small laugh] Trust me, it's not that hard to believe. At least, not for us. You kind of get used to weird after hunting down the weird for a living.

[guardianjoker]

Really? Well that does make it easier then--

[ Voice ]

[guardianjoker]

...You hunt down weird things?

[She's so unsure of how to react to that if it's whatever she thinks it means]

[ Voice ]

[srsbusinessk]

My brother Dean and I, as well as a bunch of other hunters; we hunt down the supernatural. Demons, ghosts, vampires - whenever there's something evil running around hurting people, we stop them. So yeah, we've seen just about every weird thing known to man.

[She was a bit taken aback, because just the mention of those things, still kind of scares her, but she's slowly trying to become more acceptive of the fact that those things are actually real. Still, hearing that his job is to stop them from hurting people? She finds that really admirable]

[ Voice ]

[guardianjoker]

Really? I only thought that stuff was real in books or on tv, before coming here-- but yeah, if that's something you deal with a lot, I can see why you wouldn't find it as weird.

[ Voice ]

[srsbusinessk]

[He wasn't always so willing to help people. But it's become his life, and he wouldn't trade it for anything.]

Most people are oblivious to the truth, but that's okay. As long as we can protect them, they don't have to know what's really going on.

It's all part of the job description - be open to all kinds of madness.

[Not that she knows any of that, but she still thinks Sam is kind of cool]

I guess that makes sense-- so they don't have to worry about it, right?

...Either way, that sounds like some job.
