| Opening Log

[shadowqueen]

Everyone's waking up at once, covered in bits of rubble, temporarily without abilities and with a lurking headache. The castle looms around them, irrepressibly gray, huge and silent. The only noises are the people, rustling as they extract themselves from their sarcophagi and look for exits along the arching walkways.

Better take a look around, and see if anyone else knows what's going on.

Good times, good times.

[stillshinigami]

Yeah. Quite of a few of em, actually.

Of the two I've talked to so far, neither of their stories line up with mine except for waking up in these coffins.

Lovely times to pass to your grandchildren.

[rote_augen]

[For a second he seems more alert and attentive, eyes once again open and looking directly toward Duo.]

Any of them missing eyebrows?

[Then again he would not be speaking to someone if they have crossed paths with Magato. Still it was the last person Heine remembers seeing before blacking out.]

Don't recall coffins being made of stone or sunlight the last place I was. Too damn bright.

For years to come.

[stillshinigami]

[He just shakes his head, looking out the window and pulling his black baseball cap over his head.]

Nobody like that so far.

You want me to keep an eye out?

[He nodded with a joyless smile.]

Me either, man. You just don't make things out of this stuff anymore. I wonder if we're really in another time though, like that girl said.

[rote_augen]

He's mad, better off not seeing him.

[He gives a half shrug and an open ear on what else is said, but not an open mind. From the corner of his mouth comes a smirk of dry amusement, no real humor so much the sheer level of disbelief.]

Different time? Are you going to buy that bullshit?

[It does not explain how anyone got there and he is not going to place any chips on time being part of what pulled them there. There being like home minus the hanging lights and the over dome. For Heine, it is being above ground that is annoying. Train lines were closed, damaged even.]

[stillshinigami]

If it makes sense, sure. [Duo said easily, his hands reaching to fold right behind his head.]

After all, I don't see a single cloud in the sky, and back where I'm from Earth's been pretty fucked up for a while.

I mean like, nuclear winter-fucked up.

[rote_augen]

It doesn't.

[Being abducted and tossed outside the city makes more sense to him.]

No seasons, don't know about the clouds. Not above ground enough to know.

[stillshinigami]

Trust me, it's not supposed to look that clear.

Well, listen. I'm from outer space, I live on a space colony, and the year is AC 199. That's about 2200 something AD.

That girl said that she's from the 21st century at some point. That kinda-- Like I said, it doesn't add up. So, do you have a better explanation for that?

[rote_augen]

No, but it pales to getting out of this place.

[Home is the priority here. Figuring out how and why they are here is not, though possibly helpful in finding a way back. His left hand pushes into his head trying to sooth the ache.]

Dammit. What sort of sick joke is this?

[stillshinigami]

Good point. [He concedes.]

But how do you suppose we go about doing that?

[At the joke comment he snorts a laugh.] I've been asking myself the same thing for the last hour or so.

[rote_augen]

Keep moving. What else?

[Moving would be easier if not for the headache and unsettling beams of light every turn. A few more minutes should clear it up, but the throbbing of his head nulls the passing of blurry vision.]

Someone's bored and asking to be shot. They will be anyhow.

[stillshinigami]

[Duo did notice the guy wincing at the sunlight, but to be fair he was doing the same thing. He dug in his pocket and retrieved his pair of sunglasses, offering it to him.]

Try those.

Heh. Hell, if it's anyone I know dumb enough to pull something like that, they probably deserve it. [Any number of bad apples roaming around space that he could think of.]

[rote_augen]

[Heine glances to the offering studying it and then Duo. His hand is slow to move and slower take the sunglasses.]

You don't need them?

[The plastic pair comes undone and slips behind his ears. Simple, but effective for blocking light.]

Not before answers, if they're willing to answer.

[stillshinigami]

I don't need them right this second. Just don't break em, alright?

[At Heine's next words he shrugs.]

Let's just do one thing at a time, alright? If we do find any enemies, we'll act accordingly.

[rote_augen]

I don't have time to take it slow.

[The weight of his shoulders switches to his other leg.]

[stillshinigami]

Hey. Don't let me slow you down.

I just meant you shouldn't jump to conclusions. We know nothing about our situation.
