Unit 1 - Video

[The video clicks on, showing a black haired man with a very mild look of bewilderment on his face. Not as much as one might expect from a total newbie, but by this point he's a tad used to waking up in strange places. Thanks Dad. Though really, this doesn't look like what he expected the afterlife to be. He really doesn't feel dead though so he's ( Read more... )

You're in Prospero, an American city on Earth, and you're new.

[Video] namedforcat October 31 2011, 22:28:43 UTC

On Earth? No wonder I've never been here. [He was dead when that big reveal came about.] I've never heard of this place.

However you are right on that last count. I'm afraid I am new here.

[Video] heavenscorpse October 31 2011, 22:29:57 UTC

I've never been here either, before this. I was on Venus most of my life.

Welcome! It isn't as bad as it looks.

[Video] namedforcat October 31 2011, 22:35:29 UTC

Venus...? [He shakes his head, her second sentence was far more interesting.]

Not as bad as it looks? It looks fairly pleasant here actually.

[he doesn't know what to say!! he swears Gaignun died.]

[But this world is a nexus, isn't it? it's what he read in the library that matched the description of the place.

but.

GAIGNUN.]

[That voice... could it be? She looks to the video feed - it is! But how?

No. That didn't matter, not for the moment. She can't help positively beaming as she responds.]

Gaignun!

namedforcat November 1 2011, 15:25:07 UTC

Hello MOMO. [Finally, someone who will be able to tell him exactly what he needs to know. Besides, it's good to know she's ok, he was always fond of her.]

spacepeach November 2 2011, 02:21:43 UTC

You're okay!

[She stops herself from saying more than that - who knows what time he's from?]

Oh! Do you know where you are? I can find you and help show you around!

namedforcat November 2 2011, 02:24:11 UTC

Well, I've gotten a few answers on that. Prospero...so this is really Lost Jerusalem then? How fascinating. I'm right by the hotel but I think I may leave the sight seeing until a bit later, this has all been a lot to take in.

[He is not going to mention that he's just woken up from being dead unless she mentions it.] How have you been faring? Have you been here long?

Well, look who decided to show up. Disappointed at having your dramatic exit thoroughly ruined, Nigredo? Or have you yet to leave the stage when you're from?

*He's happy to see you, really. He's just really annoyed with you right now.*

Video namedforcat November 1 2011, 22:06:39 UTC

[Can you see that eye roll? Because he's a little too tired to actually conceal it.]

What, not happy to see me Albedo? I would have thought you would have been a little more grateful considering I managed what you wanted.

Video fractured_white November 1 2011, 22:09:36 UTC

After you stole my spotlight and ran off by yourself. I had the situation handled well enough.

namedforcat November 1 2011, 22:11:41 UTC

I did what I had to do to manage the best possible ending for everyone. Not everything is about you, you know.

Or would you have rather spent eternity with father. [There is so much hate put into that word.] Besides, did you really want to make Rubedo watch you die again? For what, the fourth time? You wouldn't have been able to come back from that.

*He's not even going to question Gaignun being alive at this point.*

You're in Prospero, and it's not emulating Lost Jerusalem. You might have a hard time believing it, but we're actually there, in the 21st Century AD, no less.

namedforcat November 1 2011, 22:13:06 UTC

Ah, hello. [Well if it isn't Shion's more pleasant shadow. Well, Allen usually knows what's going on so this will be nice.]

I see. How did you find yourself here?

want_a_vacation November 1 2011, 22:22:22 UTC

*He would be so crestfallen if he knew Gaignun just thought of him as Shion's shadow. He's a person too!*

I just showed up here, a few weeks ago. One minute I was on the Elsa, then I was here.

You should be able to get a free hotel room, though. Trust me, you do not want to be caught out after midnight, especially not unarmed.

namedforcat November 1 2011, 22:25:22 UTC

[Well he would if they had ever really had a chance to talk. Besides, he respects you for your intelligence and general good demeanor.]

On the Elsa? I see. Well, thankfully I'm right near the hotel so I may take you up on that suggestion.

Do you know if this place is connected at all to what we're used to?
