[ Damien sits there, holding his mask up next to his head before tossing it aside. ]Cute, really. Not exactly my style but then again, it’s been a few centuries since masquerades were really in fashion. There was a particularly sordid one in France

[Yuuta is seen amongst piles of books; it looks like some research has not gone well.]

Welcome to an insane world that most of us want to escape.

Where were you dragged from?

[video]

[totheiliad]

There are others... [ He'll file this information away. ]

New York. I don't remember returning to my hotel room, actually. I'm not surprised. Do they drug us all or am I just lucky?

Re: [video]

[meitori]

There are plenty of others. Some of them actually do belong here in the city, but most of us on the network don't.

As for the drugged bit, I don't know. I was asleep when I came.

[totheiliad]

How many of "us" are there vs. them?

How else do you explain the mirror?

[vanagandr]

How about some non human interaction?

[ video ] 1/3

[totheiliad]

[ Wait.]

[ Blink. ]

What am I on?

[sun_droplet]

What is wrong with human interaction? Aren't you human too?

[totheiliad]

Sometimes unnecessary human interaction is tedious. Yes, I'm human and I take it you're another prisoner.

[sun_droplet]

I guess I am, but this place isn't like a prison. It's actually really nice here. We've been through some bad things, but most of the time I really like it here.

[totheiliad]

And where are we, exactly?

[operanerd]

[Give him a minute.]

[Okay give him another minute.]

[FROWN.]

Great. No, really, that's great. I ask for my sister. Blair. Jenny. Even Chuck. And I get you.

[totheiliad]

[ There's a voice. Seriously? Speak of the devil and he doth freakin' appear? A sigh because the others have tried him enough so far. ]

You.

[ Hadn't he just called this kid to hang? ]

[operanerd]

Yes, me.

Look, let's just keep our distance, okay? I've had enough of a hard time here without having to deal with you.

[totheiliad]

Why so serious? Not a day ago, you were helping me out and you were very appreciative of my services. What changed, exactly?

[outandproudboy]

This place is real, I'm afraid that we all arrived not knowing how this happened.

Are you Eric's friend?

[totheiliad]

[ Well, he looks ... clean-cut. Real is relative but he's not exactly going to comment on that. And he's going to need allies here. Of any sort. ]

Back home. Unfortunately, Eric hasn't experienced our friendship first hand, just something I was less than proud of. But, you live and you learn.

I'm Damien.

[outandproudboy]

[He's wearing his Dalton uniform, at least he is dressed properly.]

[Blaine will ask Eric what sort of relationship they had, just to know.]Friends are always hard to gain and hard to keep.

Blaine Anderson, a pleasure to meet you Damien. Now I catch the irony of your mask, no offense.

[totheiliad]

[ Dressing properly. He does not miss that life. He kind of misses his father. A twinge, anyway. ]

Well, like I said, where he's from, we aren't friends yet.

Funny, I hadn't really found irony in my mask until now. Thanks. Do you hold a lot of weight here in mask design? And what does your mask say? I'm attractive yet slightly intrusive? I take it you and Eric exchanged friendship bracelets?

[ Well, that niceness lasted long enough. He was not named after Lucifer's son, thank you. And he knows all about friendships. You know, except not. And so's your face! ]
