oo1 - hello thar, discedo!

[ The communicator flickers on to show Gino with a slightly puzzled expression on his face, but nevertheless it’s obvious his fingers are working fast to scroll through the communicator’s menus and what not. Unfortunately for him though, it seems he doesn’t find whatever he is looking for so instead, he opts to hold up the communicator to face him

Sir Weinberg?

[Uh-oh. This could be problematic.]

Um, I'll explain everything, but please get inside first! There are monsters outside and it isn't safe...

[weinerberger]

Your Majesty! I didn't expect to get a connection to you too.

Is everything all right? [ Monsters? What...? ]

[crippledroyalty]

['Your Majesty?' Nunnally thinks that's a bit much, and you have to forgive her because everyone conveniently forgot to mention that little detail.]

Ah, I'm fine! This isn't like a normal kidnapping. We're in a city called Discedo, and it's on another planet. A group of scientists brought us here.

Ummm...I don't know the street names, but everyone from our world is staying in the Latimir apartments.

[weinerberger]

[ Whoa, Gino's going to have to adjust to name changes left and right. ]

Ah, so we are kidnapped! And on another... you are all taking this new planet business rather seriously. I never knew we were this far advanced in technology!

Everyone?

[crippledroyalty]

[Sigh. Proof, proof...preferably not proof with claws and fangs]

Please look up. I don't remember what the stars looked like at home very well, but I know we only have one moon.

Ummm...what was the last thing you remember?

[weinerberger]

I was never that good at Astrology either. So it really isn't a hologram of some sort?

Honestly, I believe I was at home readying for dinner.

[crippledroyalty]

I don't think so...and even if it was, there are still people from other worlds here.

[And that tells her...absolutely nothing. But she still has to explain Euphy somehow, so maybe everything will be okay if she gradually introduces the topic.] Ummmm...the scientists who brought us here can kidnap someone from any time they want to, and they can also bring dead people back to life. So if someone dies here, they'll be fine in a few days, but people can also be dead in the world they're from. So...please don't be alarmed...

[weinerberger]

[ That would sort of explain Lelouch's existence, in a sci-fi fantastical sort of why that's kind of hard to comprehend. He hasn't even thought of all the other people that have died yet. ]

...That's kind of like zombies.

[crippledroyalty]

[Blink blink.]

They don't eat brains...unless Milly was exaggerating about that.

Ummm...is someone coming to get you?

[weinerberger]

Do they suck blood instead? Absorb inner Chi or bits of your soul? Howl at the moon?

[ He kids a bit, but seriously wouldn't mind it being a joke though. ]

Kallen's apparently going to be my personal escort tonight.

[crippledroyalty]

[And that gets a laugh out of her, so have some slight joking back.] I don't think so...unless they're doing it when we aren't looking.

Ah, you should be fine, then! Just...please don't be surprised if you see something...strange. [That might be putting it lightly, but she doesn't want to just come out and say it in case she's wrong about when he's from.]

[weinerberger]

Oh my, maybe I'll need to find myself a neck brace! Just in case~

How would you define strange?

[crippledroyalty]

Ummmm......anything that shouldn't be possible and is stranger than anything you've seen so far. [Nooooo, she's not dodging the question, whatever are you talking about?]

[weinerberger]

Oh. Like your brother?

[crippledroyalty]

[...caught.]

Well, um...yes. [Pause.] He isn't our enemy now.

[weinerberger]

[ pause, pause, rewind. ]

And you're sure you're not under... his influence?
