[voice/kind of accidental]

[banginmyface]

[the forge clicks on, it's clear to tell that someone is having trouble figuring what it is or how to use it. it gets turned off.

then turned back on.

....oh...is that how you use it? right speaking into it might help, it was making noises before :|bUh...I'm not sure how I'm suppose to be using this, but I need to find out where I am...I don't

Comments

[yetsleeping]

...strange yoma?

Y-you know what a yoma is!

[A little fumbling, and Priscilla turns on VIDEO.]

[...and waves.]

[banginmyface]

Y...Yeah.

[wait...the forge is talking? she holds it up to her, but it's still on voice]

Hello? Is this another person?

[yetsleeping]

Yes, I'm a person! I mean, I'm another person. I'm a...

[Give her a second while she glances over the other replies - or listens to them, as the case may be.]

You're a soldier! I mean. You are, right?

[banginmyface]

A soldier? How did you-

[oh]

Yeah I am. Ah. Where...are you talking from?

[twoswordjuniper]

[... well then.]

Yuma.

[Implicit in Deneve's voice is an order to calm down.]

You are in Anatole. This thing is a Forge.

[insert simple instructions on how to operate a Forge here]

[banginmyface]

[huh? a voice she recognizes!]

D...Deneve? Where are-

[picking up the forge, Yuma hold it closer and more at eye level]

Anatole? Wait...what's going on?! Where are the others?

[twoswordjuniper]

It's another world. You're not on the island any more.

Helen and Clare are here as well. There are also other warriors from other generations. Dietrich, Clarice and Miata. Warriors named Sophia, Irene and Raphaela who preceded us. Teresa. Priscilla.

[She'll just. Pause for a second to let Yuma digest that one. Then she switches the transmission to private and her voice turns dark.]

There are others here, as well. An awakened one you will recognize and all three Abyssals.

[banginmyface]

[wait wait? other world? Yuma opens her mouth to say something but then closes it, she'll digest all of that first before speaking]

So I guess Cynthia isn't here...

[private]

Wait...the Abyssals are here?!

Voice

[applelimber]

'Couldn't be' what, exactly?

[Most people don't like Helen filling in blanks for them. But not many know her as well as her fellow 'ghosts'.]

Voice

[banginmyface]

[Yuma recognizes this voice as well]

Helen?

[she'll dodge the question for now, of course she can't be dead...right?]

Video

[applelimber]

[She flips to video now, showing her in all her grinning, mischievous glory.]

In the flesh. Though I might make ya pick me up something from the marketplace before I prove it.

[She's just teasing, Yuma. She's just glad to see you!]

Voice to Video

[banginmyface]

[she sounds relieved, she already ran into some of her comrades. maybe the other were here?]

Let me guess...an apple? Are the others here?

[baw she always gets teased. Yuma finally turns the video on after Deneve told her how to use the forge, and there she is in all her confused self]

[voice]

[halcyonthird]

There are yoma in this place, but I doubt they are ones you are searching for. The Door doesn't seem to displace whole groups very often.

[If ever?]

Couldn't be what? [Suddenly in a strange world via a temperamental Door? Yes.]

[voice]

[banginmyface]

Door...?

[she almost sounds dazed but makes herself focus on the question, and that sound? it's Yuma patting herself on the arm]

I thought I died. But...I don't that's the case anymore.

[voice]

[halcyonthird]

It isn't. I'm sure someone's [Deneve] told you by now, that this is Anatole. The Door is the means by which you entered this ...[Clusterfuck? Second chance? Strange world? Limbo? Living hell? All are applicable at some time or another, really. Some more often than others.] city. I'm afraid it only goes one way.

[...]

What is your name? [And rank. You know, if you still care about that sort of thing. *coughanatoleisfullofdeserterscough*]

[voice]

[banginmyface]

[well damn. that's not good news, Yuma sounds a bit uncomfortable though she does a pretty good job at hiding a lot of that discomfort] But, why...?!

[so many claymore here] My name's Yuma. [there's a hesitation] Rank 41.

voice

[mudhair]

["Yoma"? g-g-g-gulp]

No-! [A pause. Clarice stutters nervously -- worried.] I don't think, um, you're dead.

voice

[banginmyface]

[Yuma sounds worried too ;;]

I'm starting to believe that...are you a soldier too?

voice

[mudhair]

Ah- Yes! I'm a soldier.

Clarice. My name's Clarice. ...Number 47.

voice

[banginmyface]

[oh! she remembers now, this voice is a little familiar]

You were also in Rabona, when that awakened being was there. I remember you now...I'm Yuma, former number 41.
