001 :: [video/action]

[immortal_witch]

[At the familiar golden archway where all new arrivals show up there stands a slightly melancholy looking girl with long green hair.

And the weirdest yellow stuffed toy in her arms.

She looks a little pouty.]

Now what? I'm not in the mood... And why does everyone keep ignoring me?

[She sits down abruptly, right where she stands.]

Hmph.

[grand_theatrics]

[Not that he's surprised at her arriving.]

The locals aren't very responsive. [A beat.] It's about time you appeared here.

[He's happy to see you, really.]

[video]

[immortal_witch]

[?!

Where is that coming fro-- oh. She fishes for the seal in her pocket and stares at it.]

... Lelouch.

[STARES. ... Yup, okay. Really him. Last she saw him he was on the Britannia throne declaring himself emperor.]

And where is 'here', exactly?

[video]

[grand_theatrics]

[...Oh the staring.]

They call it Splendor. It's a place completely separate from the world we come from. [But that's probably obvious.]

[video]

[immortal_witch]

[So much staring. So much JUDGMENT. Okay, not really. Well okay, sort of.]

That's a ridiculous name. [Says the witch named C.C.]

I know. I found a music box.

[action!]

[starstripedhero]

[ Not long after C.C. takes her seat, another fellow is seen walking along his way, Lips curled in a content smile and his hands stuffed in the back pockets of his denims, he's surveying his surroundings, still rather convinced he's been put on a reality show of some sort. ]

Now! Where exactly are those cameras--? They're pretty good at recording all of this stuff hidden! Hah! [ Though as he is exploring, he notes another person sitting down on the floor. He's already met a few interesting people already, so why not another. Dazzling a toothy grin on his face, he waves at her. ]

Hey! Are you lost too?

[action!]

[immortal_witch]

[Oh, America.... That's just like you.

She pointedly ignores him as he chatters on, resting her chin on the top of her plushie. Hrmph.

Then he addresses her directly so she finally looks up, gaze settling on him.]

I guess I am. Or maybe I'm not. Perhaps I'm just dreaming. I haven't decided yet.

[action!]

[starstripedhero]

[ And just like that, he's making his way towards you! Stopping in front of C.C, Alfred crouches down and looks at her, a bright smile still fixed on his face as he puts his hands on his knees. ]

You're not dreaming-- you're just part of the reality show! Well, people keep telling me I'm actually on another planet, so maybe so! You know how people will do anything to get a lot of viewers!

I'm Alfred, by the way! You can call me America, but I understand if that's, uh, kind of awkward-- [ Maybe not. He's met people who don't even know what America is. ]

[action!]

[immortal_witch]

[Staaaares back...]

Reality show...?

[... Okay, this guy is CLEARLY out of his mind!

Your buddy England took over most of the world in her universe, America, so you do no exist!] Why would 'America' be awkward?

[action]

[top_sidekick]

[You could say Junpei's met so many girls, he's simmered down in terms of his ... Junpei-ness for the day? Though he can never ignore a lady who says such a thing.]

Don't take it personally. Locals do that to everyone.

[action]

[immortal_witch]

[Shocking! :O

She looks up at him with disinterest.]

I see. Why?

[action]

[top_sidekick]

[Wow... he hasn't seen anyone that disinterested since he's been in History class. What do you know, they have something in common.]

Kinda thought they were a**es at first. Then I thought they were shy. Then back to a**es. So I'm between them being a**es and reclusive.

[action]

[immortal_witch]

[She's just bein' kind of sad, really. But she will get over it in no time.]

Asses, huh? Maybe they just don't like our faces.

[foreseen_future]

A little early for pouting, isn't it?

[immortal_witch]

It's never too early for pouting.

video;

[foreseen_future]

Uh-huh...you new here, kiddo?

video;

[immortal_witch]

Yes, I suppose I am. Since you're actually not ignoring me, where am I?

ACTION!

[astered]

[Watch, Mr. Cool Guy's leaning on a wall acting cool. In truth, Robin's just been roaming about in his civilian disguise people-watching. If he's gonna be stuck here indefinitely, he can at least enjoy observing the locals. To understand them is to understand Splendor, right?]

Oh, they just do that. Their collective weirdness speaks for them!

ACTION!

[immortal_witch]

[She sees you there and doesn't seem to care.

Until he speaks so she humors him and looks up.]

Oh? I guess you're a local too, then. [so much sarcasm]

[astered]

[Scoffs] I wish. You know what I'd give to be that weird?

[immortal_witch]

I don't know, what would you give to be that weird? Enlighten me.
