4th of RD, afternoon.

[assiduous]

[ the orb starts, cupped in its owner's hands as he sits on some random ass boulder or something. he's young, not even twenty it looks, with a lean, handsome face, and gold eyes, honey dark and serious. dark and messy hair, red scarf, charcoal jacket, against a backdrop of late afternoon sky over the city walls in the distance. a girl in blue sits with a polar bear sized... dog some distance away, quietly having A Moment of Feels. ]

I have some questions about... [ a little gesture at the surrounding... everything. he means like. the whole champion thing!!?? and stuff ] this place, the whole set up. People are listening to this, right?

[ LOOK he's just collecting data okay guys, ]

Comments

[shiromadoushi]

Mm.... I think... maybe... 20 people so far? I haven't really been keeping very good track. [[admits sheepishly. That and he kinda expects people to vanish on a moments notice anyway.]]

[assiduous]

From where?

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink]] From all sorts of places.

[assiduous]

Like...? [ ba sing se, pohuai, shu jing, he's expecting names of places he'd recognise ]

[shiromadoushi]

Mm... well I'm from Tokyo.. though I was at the City before this... Thor's from Asgard... as is Sif... I don't think I've asked anyone else, come to think of it...

[assiduous]

[ oh he has a VERY BAD FEELING ABOUT THIS ]

... Ever heard of Republic City?

[shiromadoushi]

I don't think so.. What country is it in?

[assiduous]

United Republic of Nations—the old colonies from the war.

[ a short sigh, and he brushes his fingers through his hair. the motion comes off as annoyed, but it's more exasperation than anything else. ]

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink]] I don't think I've heard of that. On Earth, or another world?

[assiduous]

... That's kinda what I'm wondering myself.

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- if you call it Earth, it likely is, even if it might be a different one than the one I'm from.

[assiduous]

[ mouth in a thin line, ] Anybody you know from home here, then?

[shiromadoushi]

[[shakes his head]] There's someone that I met in a place like this before who also came here, but he's also from a different world.

[assiduous]

[ wat ]

Another place like this?

[ WAT is like kidnapping to different worlds a thing ]

[shiromadoushi]

Un [[nods]] A bigger one, with a lot more people called the City. It was a pretty different place, but had a lot of people from other worlds just the same.

[assiduous]

[ mako's mouth folds down into a frown. THIS IS EITHER A SUPER ELABORATE HOAX, or. asdfajwekfjdslakjsdflkawe what is going on. ]

The two from... Agard. Sif and Thor, you said? They know each other?

[ HE DOESN'T WANT TO BE AMNESIC, why is he amnesic ]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaaa-- I think so! I haven't seen the two of them together yet, since Thor only recently arrived, but I think they do.

[assiduous]

Alright. Thanks, man.

[shiromadoushi]

[[a smile]] Glad I could help!


[[a pause. Oh right!]] Aaa- and I'm Bakura Ryou, nice to meet you!

[assiduous]

[ a casual nod of acknowledgement ] Mako.

[shiromadoushi]

Good luck!
