[The feed cuts on to show one confused looking lady with a lab coat. Judging by the light fog around her ankles, since it's midday, and the other surroundings, one could guess she's in the Northern District.

But she doesn't know that. Nope, she's pretty lost.]

Where... am I...?

[She blinks again, looking around and taking in the new atmosphere. This

[There's a teenage chef in your viewscreen, cradling a bowl of cake batter and retracting her hand from where she apparently pushed a button or did something in order to respond.]

You're in the city of Nautilus. And yep, it's recording, ha ha! The communicators just kind of do that sometimes around here.

Anyway, welcome! I'm Orihime Inoue, pleased to meet you!

[She inclines her head cheerfully.]

Re: [Video]

[doc_holi]

[And... now there's a happy girl with cake batter on the screen. She gives the girl a small smile, which is the best she can muster right now.]

Hi. I'm Doctor Holiday. Pleased to meet you as well.

Um...

[She takes another second to look around.]

Nautilus?

[Video]

[leekspin]

Yeah! It's kind of like...a hyper-reality city, where you wake up from your own reality. It's almost like existing in two places at once, but your consciousness pays attention here. ...It makes more sense after you get used to it, really.

[Orihime takes note of the labcoat, which would indicate some sort of medical or scientific profession. That could make a world of difference!]

--Hou, are you a scientist?!

[Video]

[doc_holi]

[Have a blank stare, Orihime. Hyper-reality? Two places at once? Holiday just assumes that maybe this is... a very, very vivid dream and takes the girl's word for it. It'll make more sense later.

For now, she looks down at herself, then back to the screen with a genuine smile.]

Uh, yeah. Yes, I am.

[She was starting to like this girl's attitude.]

[Raye responds, seated on the corner of her bed with one leg tucked beneath her. There's a panda plushie toppled over against one of the pillows.]

Seems so. You must be new; I don't remember seeing you pop up before.

[Video]

[doc_holi]

[Holiday takes the moment to scratch her neck.]

No, I'd say I'm pretty new around here.

[Her eyes look to the side of the screen.]

Cute panda.

[Video]

[flamescout]

Hm?

[Raye looks at the panda, then back at the screen. She's smiling a little now.]

Oh, thanks. My boyfriend got it for me on Christmas, he knows I like them.

Anyway, I'm sure you have a lot of questions, so feel free to fire away. I'm Raye.

[doc_holi]

[Aww, that's nice. This place doesn't seem so terrible... so far. For now, she's smiling.]

My name's Doctor Holiday, but most just call me Holiday. It's good to meet you.

So, I'm in... Nautilus?

[Video] I'd chain like a mofo, but that's hard to do with a cell phone...derp.

[naniteknight]

[See Rex cruising the network for new posts.]
[See Rex notice this post, stop...and spit the soda he was drinking all over the nearby wall.]
Doctor Holiday?!

[Video] XD chaining would've been so much more fun

[doc_holi]

Rex!

[Oh gosh, a familiar face!]

Are you alright? Are you nearby? People keep telling me I'm in the Northern District. You're not hurt, are you? I can't remember what happened.

[Ok, quiet time. Breathe.]

Sorry, it's just-... Where are you?

[Video] inorite? storms screwed me out of computer access today, though

[naniteknight]

[Give him a sec for the shock to wear off... wait for it...]
[*DING!* And cue a mile wide grin!]
You're Awake! You're actually Awake! Northern District? Same place I ended up at first. Hang on, I'll find you! I'm actually at Furmans right now. Same district, so you're probably close. Are there any major landmarks nearby? A giant tree or a tower shaped like a "T"?

[Video]

[doc_holi]

[RELIEF. It feels good! And he's nearby. Sure, she was confused and lost, but things could be so much worse right now. Holiday eyes the tower.]

Um... To be totally honest, I'm actually happy it really exists... But, yes, I'm near the tower.

[hisdreamsmyfate]

[Eugh. Lab coats.

He's a little wary at first of this new arrival, but since she doesn't initially seem outright crazy or malicious, he allows his guard to drop. He doesn't recognize this woman as any of Hojo's cronies though she does look a little similar to *someone*. The glowing-eyed First leans back in his seat, a bit of a smirk on his face.]

Hey! You need any help?

[Video]

[doc_holi]

[Was his eyes-... nah. Instead, she rubs the back of her neck.]

Oh, no, I-... Well... I don't really know actually...

[Video]

[hisdreamsmyfate]

I should probably ask if anyone's given you the rundown yet, actually.

[Video]

[doc_holi]

Uh, well.

[Ok, a list of things we know so far.]

All I know is that I'm in the Northern District of a place called 'Nautilus' and that it's... real and... something about making things from my willpower... and a heart shaped moon...

Yeah...

[keepastrnghrt]

[Have a friendly smile.]

Afraid it is.

Welcome to Nautilus, though I see you've been welcomed by others. I'm Mitham, and if you have any questions, I'll do my best to answer for you.

[doc_holi]

Hello, Mitham. I'm Doctor Holiday.

I honestly don't know what to ask right now. I think I'm understanding the gist of everything... so far. This bending thing is certaintly different...

[keepastrnghrt]

Nice to meet you.

Heh, this whole place, and many of the people are rather different. If you need anything, though, let me know. I've been here nearly a year myself, so I know my way around and how things work.

Do you know anyone here? [He...thought he saw Rex react to her, but didn't really look at the post, he'll not assume.]

[doc_holi]

Yes, thankfully. Rex is around here somewhere. He's from my... world.

[She's still trying to get used to all these new things...]

You've been here a whole year? That must come in handy around this place.

[Honestly, she won't say it, but as of right now, she can't imagine staying here for a year. Though... she will stick around for a little while. Just long enough to figure out what's going on here and how things are going on.]
