[ Rian awoke to silence.

The gunshots, the cries, the anger and the rage was gone; all she could hear was the slight whisper of the wind and a rustle of something unfamiliar. She paused, taking a breath, before lifting a hand and reaching. He

[Coming out of a nearby portal is (1) Nobody who pauses to stare at this funny-acting girl. A few moments of this and he reaches out to lightly tap her shoulder.]

Uh... Hello?

[withindark]

[ Said girl gasps and almost falls over, her arms flying out to find balance. That was terrifying. ]

Hello? I-Is someone there?

[ninthserenade]

[Calmly going to grab the back of her shirt so she doesn't tip over into that lamppost.]

Er yeah? It's not like I'm some disembodied voice or anything like that.

[withindark]

[ She turns, reaching out and -- there, an arm! She rests her hands on his arm lightly, trying to relax. ]

You are to me.

[ninthserenade]

Ho-- [Oh. He frowns slightly.] ...You can't see, can you.

[withindark]

[ Her head lifts towards his voice but her eyes remained closed rather tightly. ]

No.

[ninthserenade]

That sucks. Accident?

[He contemplates drying her off with his powers, but he doesn't want to spook her. So to the towel stand!]

[withindark]

[ She manages a smile- at least this guy wasn't going to attack her (or so she hoped). ]

I was born this way.

[ninthserenade]

[He's the least dangerous guy you'd find in the Organization--as long as you exclude that he could remove all the water from someone's body in seconds. But that's mean.]

Really? Jeez... [Plucking up a towel and dropping it on her head.] Okay uh... Has anyone explained to you where you are yet?

[withindark]

[ Yeah, don't do that :( ]

No! I just woke up, and... [ She grabs onto his arm, suddenly frantic. ] Zen? Is Zen here?!

[ninthserenade]

[Never ever.]

Well, you're und-- [Whoa, nelly!] Z-Zen?

[withindark]

Zen! He has to be here, h-he was here when I... [ She lets her fingers slide from his arm to press against her middle. ] Where is he?

[ninthserenade]

Listen, Miss... I don't think he's here. [Using the towel as a cover-up, he starts pulling the water from her clothes. She can't go looking for this Zen dude if she gets sick, after all.] I've never met a guy with that name.

[withindark]

But I was free, and he was there... [ Rian barely notices that she's drying off, she's too panicked. ] He can't have left!

[ninthserenade]

He didn't ditch you. This place is a little weird.

...Okay, 'a little' is an understatement. It brings people here from different worlds than the one you're used to, but sometimes it'll bring people you know.

[withindark]

[ Her face stayed facing the direction of his voice, but it was obvious that she was elsewhere. She had died; this just didn't make sense. She had died and found her freedom, and now she was here... Alone? No Zen, no Kyrie... It had to be a joke. ]

Kyrie? I-Is he here - or my father?
