[Here's Marta, lying on the "floor," unconscious. But slowly, she's coming around... She pushes herself up to sit on her knees, rubbing at her eyes with the back of her hand.]

Mmmm... what was that? Am I back on the Plane?

... Emil! [She abruptly stands, looking all around.] Emil, where did you go? Emil!

((OoC: Marta had to make a Choice...!

Marta?

{{cmakyouupgood}}

[formervanguard]

Mu! [She turns to face him. Relieved, she smiles, but only for a second... then, she just looks confused.] ...Mu?

[lamb_of_gold]

Is something wrong?

[formervanguard]

I... You look... older, or something.

[grand_gaia]

[Isaac too got whomped by the plot hammer, but came around a few minutes ago. Anyways, he's hovering a bit over Marta]

H-hey, are you alright?

[formervanguard]

[She brushes off her sleeves before she turns to look at him.] I think so. It was strange, I was in this r-

[She freezes when she actually sees him, though, and gasps a little.] ... Wh-Who are you?

[grand_gaia]

A room? Me too...

Oh, I'm Isaac.

[formervanguard]

I-I'm Marta. It's nice to meet you... [Though she feels like she should be bowing. dfjsaklfj She kind of ducks her head a little instead.]

You were in a room, too? With a chair, and a box-thing, and...?

[pactum]

[Emil is here, and he is not pleased. This is going to be a recurring pattern as long as they're trapped on the Plane. He moves to help her stand, even though she's probably doing fine by herself. Wolf is appropriately concerned as well, shoving his nose at her other hand like a worried puppy.]

Marta! Where the hell were you?! I turned around for a second to get some supplies and you wandered off by yourself!

[formervanguard]

I-I don't know, I suddenly just--

[She looks up at him. And SCREAMS. She falls back onto her bum and starts scooting backwards, staring up at him wide-eyed and fearful. ]

E-EMIL?!? Wh--!!

[pactum]

[Emil lets go as she begins screaming and tearing away from him. He's both perturbed and disappointed by this development, and it shows on his face, like he's just been slapped.

He hides it after, but the damage has been done. His voice is hollow, empty.]

They did something to you, didn't they?

[formervanguard]

[It sounds like Emil. It's speaking like Emil, and it feels like Emil, despite the fact that it looks like... something unreal...!

She's still trembling, but she does stand and take a hesitant step toward him, both hands covering her heart. She still looks a little afraid.]

I-I... Th-They put me in a room, and... there was a box, and I... I had to make a choice and... E-Emil, what happened to you? Is that... is that really you?

[formervanguard]

I-I don't know. I was suddenly somewhere else, and--

[She stops abruptly and gasps, wide-eyed, when she looks at Satoshi. It isn't a look of fear, just surprise. So beautiful, but so sad...!]

Are... Are you alright?

[madamemoiselle]

{Diva wasn't paying much attention to where she was going, so almost tripped right over Marta. Luckily, she woke up before she could! Diva takes a few steps back when she stands, but shrugs lightly.}

Emil? Oh, that's the rude boy, isn't it? I met him a long time ago. I haven't seen him in a while, though.

((ooc: chiisuchi @ AIM!))

[formervanguard]

[She recognizes that voice, and the fact that she called Emil a "rude boy" the last time she saw her. She turns, intending to snap at Diva, but when she gets a good look at her... her eyes go wide, she screams, and she backs up several paces.]

Wh-Wha-! Who are you?!

[madamemoiselle]

{Her eyes widen in surprise, but Diva only puts a hand on her hip. It's been a long time since anyone has screamed when she showed up}

Ah? I'm only Diva. Don't you know that?

[formervanguard]

D-Diva? Y-You...! What happened to you?!

[Pardon, she'll just be... gaping. ♥]
