never mind time, what about reality?

Jun 12, 2010 23:25

[Air City's plaza whirls into existence around him at a dizzying pace. Or at least that would be how Phantom would describe the sensation, the tangible world coming back to him in a rush ...

Little does he know he'd been wandering the edges of the plaza for some time already, unresponsive as his self settles back again.]

[one more round Harpuia thought to himself. One more circle around the city and then I will stop. Because the first twenty times got him nothing, and he had given up on trying to radio one of his comrades. Any of them would have replied by now...

Imagine his surprise when, on that final slow circle, he caught sight of a familiar black reploid.

But if Phantom was here then-]

[Harpuia steadies his flight path, hovering down to a reasonable level before dropping to the ground near Phantom. Far enough away to give the other enough warning, but close enough to call out to him]

Phantom! [Have we died? Is this Cyberspace? ... It's good to see you again]

What are you doing here?

heh. wraithonyx June 13 2010, 08:34:23 UTC

[There is no mistaking that call -- and it is a testament to Phantom's state of mind that despite that familiarity, it takes a long moment for him to draw his hand away from the hilt of his blade.]

[Very tense, is the shadow-lord.]

Harpuia.

[is that a faint smile, of all things? humourless, granted ...]

That is a very good question. Before I attempt to consider an answer, where and what is "here"?

[Harpuia waited until the threat of being stabbed by a displeased (and displaced) Phantom passed before he spoke again]

This is 'Giga City'. According to the clock here, we are about a century in the past. [a pause] Phantom, did you ever come across information about this place in our time? [full of questions, this one is. But a familiar face amid all this madness - be it from a retired comrade or not - was a source of relief. All the same, Harpuia kept a reasonable distance away from his compatriot.

Tension; this place was filled with it]

[a brief quirk of what might have been a wintry smile]

There were records of marine cities, if one were to dignify the scraps of data with the name "record". I have no recollection of Giga City specifically.

But then, there is reason to believe there may have been tampering beyond our concealing of the truth.

[still stinging over the issue of the copy of his lord, why yes he is. no malice, per se, against the clone himself ... and yet. and yet.]

Stalky newgen is background stalking~ ♥ Pay him no mind! irregularlight June 15 2010, 01:44:54 UTC

[A Reploid in white armor and shades of mauve drifts by in the background, feet a few inches from the ground. He doesn't disturb the three while they talk, but he taps his finger against his small mouth with amusement, examining all three before turning a corner.]

[after their discussed truce with Zero, the two Guardians had parted ways with the 'Legendary Reploid'. Though Harpuia had questions about Zero's present state of disrepair, that could be dealt with another day. What was more important...]

Phantom... You said earlier that we - all four of us - reunited before fighting Omega. [a pause] I don't remember meeting up with your or Master X at that time.

Mweheheheh. wraithonyx July 2 2010, 07:15:38 UTC

[Phantom pauses, gathering his thoughts before speaking slowly]

It is ... possible, that neither our Lord nor myself were readily noticable in the heat of combat.

Nonetheless, we were both present -- had spoken to Fafnir and Leviathan -- and urged them to join the battle and aid Zero in Omega's defeat. Fafnir spoke as much to you.

You recall none of this?

ventus_aerius July 2 2010, 07:33:07 UTC

[he takes a moment here to think and try to remember. Fighting off all of Weil's minions on his own, then Fefnir and Leviathan appearing... No, he only remembered-]

He only briefly mentioned that Master X bade them to come and lend their power to fighting Weil. That the explanation for what had happened should be provided by me. I can't recall ever seeing you or Master X

wraithonyx July 2 2010, 07:40:21 UTC

[the faintest of tiny smiles --]

How else would Fafnir have spoken with our Lord?

But, yes; we were present. If only to watch.
