[On comes the feed, and in it is a blurry video of a scrawny Japanese boy in glasses. He seems to have found his way into the hostel room and is sitting on the bed, still fidgeting somewhat from unfamiliar surroundings.]

So, uh, nobody's going to stand up and tell me I'm on Candid Camera at this point, I guess. This isn't exactly what I envisioned ( Read more... )

[He looks a little frowny, but shrugs shortly after.]

It's a video post alright, it's just really blurry. Anyway, what's a sentai show?

[Wow. He probably picks the most uninteresting things out of this video feature.]

And nah. Never heard that name before that you mentioned.

[That was totally just an afterthought.]

Well, great to know that worked. And I guess it's natural that an American wouldn't know a sentai show, huh? It's...a lot like your superhero comics, except the heroes work as a color-coded team and they transform with gadgets. Like belts or watches. Sometimes you get giant robots, too.

....that's...well, I should've expected that. Thank you for answering, though. I appreciate it.

American?

[Have a questioning look there.]

I'm not from here, if you meant this and what are comics? ....they transform?

[Great. You're confusing him with stuff they don't exactly have where he is from.]

Oh, you're not American? I guess I should've thought that you may be coming from another country, like I did. Sorry for the assumption. Where did you come from?

Comics are....you don't read them in your country? They're like picture books, you know, the ones you read to children? Except they have more than one picture on a page and the stories aren't always meant for children. A lot of them are about people who transform into heroes with special powers, and they fight crime! Some American comics have too much muscles for my taste, but they're pretty awesome in general.

It's not heaven, that's for damn sure. Were you expecting the afterlife?

[video forever] hiskillingeyes December 5 2010, 23:34:55 UTC

Well, it's always possible that some evil cult somewhere might have this kind of afterlife, right? And you can say that, I guess. It's the natural thing to expect when you're bleeding to death or maybe getting cut into half, whichever comes first.

[voice, also basically forever XD] want_the_world December 6 2010, 01:32:31 UTC

Heh. [A mostly unwilling, but genuine, laugh.] 'Evil cult' might not be too far from the truth.

What did you mean about dialing the wrong number?

dammit mello read the atmosphere >:[ hiskillingeyes December 6 2010, 01:45:38 UTC

Oh, so there is an evil cult, after all?

Well, this place isn't exactly what TV said the afterlife looks like, right? Or religion, I guess. I was just thinking something may have gone wrong somewhere when I died, that's all.

[Scrawny Japanese boy in glasses, meet bored shirtless supersoldier.]

It's not torment-filled enough to be Hell and too desecrated to be Heaven. If it's anything like that, it's purgatory, although I doubt that also.

I've never encountered this Tohno Akiha.

Video hiskillingeyes December 6 2010, 00:02:03 UTC

[Why hello bored shirtless supersoldier. Too bad that all the shirt-baring people in his world are vampires. But he's not judging, no. not in this route, anyway]

I'm guess that if it's purgatory, then whatever religion came up with this must have really strange ideas about redemption. So where would you say we are? Just America, like they said?

I kind of expected that, but still...it's and odd feeling. Thank you for answering though, Mr..?

...Moriarty. Lieutenant Moriarty.

It does appear that way. Although this is America as it would be after a series of tactical nuclear strikes.

Video hiskillingeyes December 6 2010, 00:53:58 UTC

....Moriarty? Er. Forgive my ignorance, sir, but is that a common name in the West? It's, um, I think I've heard of it before. [No, he hasn't read Holmes. It's optional outside reading for some schools, however, and he knows about it.]

The pamphlets mentioned the nuclear strikes, too. I guess that we wouldn't have any embassies to consult, either, even if I never expected to get an American citizenship this way before.
