[A strange face appears close to the screen, as Johnny inspects it. The face and hair are scraggly and snow white, and light blue eyes with no pupils blink as he puzzles over this device. He pulls back after a moment, muttering to himself at first.]

This is some real trippy Minority Report shit right here.Uh. So. I ain't totally convinced this

We have simply been told to "live and grow". As for an exit, no one has announced one as of yet though many are searching.

[And then a simple, elegant move to bow her head towards the devices.]

Though 'tis a pleasure to speak with you, Johnny. My name is Gwendolyn.

[charming_jerk]

Yeah, that much I got. Not a lot to go on, though. Why do they think they can just grab people and make 'em think they're just gonna put up with this?

[This girls sounds like she's from a fantasy novel.] Uh, right, same here.

[elegantwarrior]

We do not know what their motivations are, but we can be certain that we were selected because we possibly were seen as necessary for some part of their plan. Though cooperation with their plans is an entirely different subject.

[Hmm, she notes that he doesn't seem to have manners, however, she still intends to be polite.]

[charming_jerk]

So does anyone here have a real clue as to what's goin' on? Besides what I was handed over when I got here? If they want cooperation, they could, I dunno, maybe ask for help instead of just kidnapping me.

Tell me who you're looking for and I'll tell you if I've met them yet, D'Amico-san!

[charming_jerk]

Uh, real tall guy, red hair, big scar on his mouth. Hyperactive as hell. Hard to miss.

[holmes_fanatic]

Tall, red-hair, scar on his mouth ... ah, that's not ringing any bells, I'm afraid! Does he have a name, your friend?

[charming_jerk]

Lukas. I figure the chances are slim to none, but he gets into weird shit all the time. He'd love something like this.

[charming_jerk]

Some shitty movie. Never mind.

Then people need to look harder or something. People can't be trapped here forever. There's a way in, there's gotta be a way out.

[charming_jerk]

Those holo-screen things?

I guess this is all some kinda magical bullshit? Gettin' us here like this? Then I guess magical bullshit will get us out. How long you been here? Have you tried anythin' to get out?

[charming_jerk]

Is there a lot of people here? Then yeah, we need some kinda... kidnappee phone book.

[charming_jerk]

It looks like a pretty big place. Then again, if this thing broadcasts to everyone, there's gotta be someplace it lists everyone who's got one'a these things...

[Johnny starts fiddling with his bracelet, and puzzles over the screens that pop up.]

Have a teenager with a volume control problem.] A list would be really helpful, wouldn't it? Hm, maybe everyone could sign in somewhere!

Is this really what an action movie is like, though?

[charming_jerk]

Sure as hell has the makings of one. Like, this is the intro. The build-up. Soon we'll be fightin'... I dunno, monster wolves or some shit.

Maybe. Maybe this thing's got a list since it seems to be broadcasting to everyone in the damn city. [He fiddles a bit with the bracelet.]

[hitouch]

Monster wolves...!? Will it really come to that!? Oh no, I thought I might have heard a howl during the night...!

[charming_jerk]

[Troll mode is go.] Yeah, there's like woods 'n' shit, right? You have no idea what could be lurking beyond the town!
