| 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.

[sagacity]

[Ah, the inevitable question, and one that he'd found himself asking moments earlier. He simply shrugged.]

Your guess is as good as mine. I woke up the same way you did.

[stillshinigami]

[He wiped sweat from his brow and grimaced. There was no doubt in his mind that he was hungover, but the headache was a tad worse than he was used to. He moved over to the nearby wall and leaned against it.]

Hmmmn. Shit like this isn't exactly what I call typical. [Something clicks then and he opens his eyes to get a good look around him.]

Hang on a second.

[sagacity]

[He's nearly about to agree -- who'd call waking up in a coffin typical? -- when the boy opts to taking a look around. So Serge waits, and he's quiet for a second before he speaks up again.]

What is it?

[stillshinigami]

We're on Earth. [It seems so impossible, but it's not as though you can use this kind of heavy stone in a space colony!]

Holy shit. [He runs his hands through his hair.] How the-- How did they even get us here?

[sagacity]

[He doesn't quite follow this fellow. Where else could this be if it weren't the earth? The sky?]

I'm pretty sure we are, though I can't tell you how we got to this place. Are you one of the Divine Race?

[stillshinigami]

[Yep.]

Divine what?

Some how I don't think that's kosher.

I don't either, man. Whoever brought me here musta been good enough to get past my security, and that's a pretty impressive feat in of itself.

[Then again, he was drunk.]

[sagacity]

[Confusion. That rules that theory out.]

Never mind.

Yeah? What, were you in prison?

[stillshinigami]

Prison? Me? Heh. Fat chance.

I just have a security system installed at my loft. There's still a lot of fighting still going on, if you haven't noticed.

[sagacity]

[He arches a brow. Somehow, he feels they're not on the same track.]

What fighting?

[stillshinigami]

[He's getting that too.]

Y'mean you haven't noticed? Terrorists and the like popping up all over causing trouble for guys like me.

[sagacity]

[That sounds way out of field.]

. . . where are you from?

[stillshinigami]

L2? V08944?

How about you?

[sagacity]

Turemilia.

I don't think we're on the same wavelength here.

[stillshinigami]

Me either.

[He looks the guy over. Honestly he wasn't dressed any stranger than some of the people he's encountered, so he didn't think much of it.]

That's no place I've ever been.

[sagacity]

[Serge doesn't appear too bothered by this, as his next words even sound to carry some mild humor in the tone.]

And I've never been to L2 and . . . what was it? V08-something? There's no place in Fulheim with a name like that.

[stillshinigami]

And no place I know of called Fulheim.

Think one of us hit their heads harder than they thought? [Of course the implication is that it's Serge, rather than himself.]

[sagacity]

Maybe. Is your head ringing?

[stillshinigami]

Hah. Yeah. Right.

Y'must just be from Earth or something. Some town I've never heard of, but then that's not really all that surprising either.

[sagacity]

The world I come from is known as Fulheim. But if you're not from the earth, then where were you before?

[stillshinigami]

The... world? Like the whole planet or--what?

[sagacity]

The whole planet. Maybe more. Why, you think that'd mean something?

[stillshinigami]

Uh...

I don't really know how to answer that.

Pretty sure all humans come from Earth, pal.

[sagacity]

Sure we do. I'm just more used to calling it Fulheim. It's the earth, but we don't exactly use it as a name.

[stillshinigami]

Oh.

[Duo seems to mull that over.]

That's, y'know I have no idea what that is.

[sagacity]

So you said. [A beat. Time to attempt clearing this up neatly.] Tell me about where you come form.
