Dusting off after so long. Homeless.

[eternaldevotion]

It's been a while, hasn't it?

I do think that your canon review would be a much better option than just - what did you call it? Voice testing? - me would be. You've just started, but I believe that you can do it.

Don't think of sending me anywhere anytime soon until you've completed that part, all right? I just want to make sure that you're ready to play me again without jumping the gun like a few people I know. [ A light laugh. ]

Anyway, I'll be seeing you around. Thanks for bringing me back, by the way.

Scheris, it's so good to see you again! It's been a while. Well, I think I know who you're talking about in the jumping part.

[He side-eyes his response.] Like Ryohou or Kazuma.

[He smiles again.] I guess that's not really important right now.

[radicalgoodspeed]

Well, fancy meeting you here.

Gotta say, I've been bored just sitting around waiting time until someone showed up.

[eternity_8]

Hello, Cougar. It has been a while. Sorry, I know you weren't addressing me.

[scheris]

Well, this is something new! I'd heard of doubles, but I never thought I'd see another me.

[eternity_8]

Well, I have heard of pocket universes...but that's only from what I've read in theory.

[terraformagica]

But "voicetesting" can be a lot of fun too! At least you get to meet new people and maybe make some friends.

[eternity_8]

I can agree to that.

[terraformagica]

Now if only our muns will actually do something with us!

[eternity_8]

Mine is starting the process though it could take a while before any word returns. It's still a work in progress, I believe.

[terraformagica]

Mine promised but she keeps dragging her-- well, dragging.

[ She IS still a princess, can't get too colloquial. The last thing she wants to do is start sounding like Ruel. ]

[eternity_8]

[Tachibana gets the idea with a nod.]

Ah. It's alright. You don't have to explain any further. Unfortunate that procrastination causes stagnation and that's not good if there are others awaiting you. I wish you luck.

[terraformagica]

There aren't, but... I don't often see people that I know in this place. I've only seen Evangelyne once.

Oh--! Forgive me for not introducing myself. I am Princess Amalia Sheran Sharm.

[eternity_8]

Nice to meet you. I'm Asuka Tachibana, Your Highness.

[He gives a bow in respect even if it's possible that he could be laughed at for his name.]

I'm sorry that you're not having much luck in finding others from your world. The Nexus is a funny place. Perhaps one day you'll find them.

[terraformagica]

It's wonderful to meet you as well! Please just call me Amalia though.

Have you been here very long?

[eternity_8]

Thank you. I appreciate it.

[He looks up at the white ceiling in thought.]

Here in this Nexus? Not very long. I have been keeping my mun company for five years, if that helps, Amalia. She has another that keeps her rather busy so I am not here alone.

[terraformagica]

Um, what is a "Nexus" anyway? Is it like a Zaap portal?

Mine has a lot of people talking, but usually not all at once.

[eternity_8]

Pardon my ignorance, but what kind of portal is that?

[terraformagica]

It's a portal that takes you from one place to another! There are Zaap portals all over the world, it's the fastest way to travel.

[eternity_8]

How interesting. How does one open them?

[terraformagica]

They're open all the time, you just have to walk through.

[eternity_8]

Ah.

[He waves his hand in front of him and tilts his head.]

Huh.

[ryuhou]

* Ryuhou gives an intent gaze. * You're letting a Mun dictate your actions?

[eternity_8]

I don't think she really has much of a choice. You're here by the same volition of yours, right?

/so rusty

[ryuhou]

Even captive audiences can have a will of their own; we should not concede to their demands easily.

Aw, always to the point, Ryuhou. :D

[eternity_8]

[Tachibana nods and thinks on it a little.]

Right. Even so, we're still controlled in some way. The playwright creates the script, the actors play their part and the audience pays to watch the show. The trouble with that; would it be a good one or a bad one?

So, I suppose this means that we have to make sure that we're not suckered in by propaganda and sale pitches from the media circus.

[ryuhou]

*Ryuhou pauses while considering his answer.* Is it so foolish that I would want to try to defy that, even if It seems hopeless?

[eternity_8]

[He takes a seat and starts to pick at his nails.]

Not really. I don't think it's hopeless, it's just figuring out how to do it.

[Looking up, Tachibana considers the reply carefully.]

Do you really think we can?

[ryuhou]

Yes. The least we puppets can do is tug on our strings.

* He takes a few aimless steps. * I would rather not think of any one of us resigning ourselves to a fate they decided for us.

[eternity_8]

[He nods and listens. Always looking up to Ryuhou, his words are sticking.]

I understand. Should we continue testing the walls until we have a breakthrough?

..k why is there no game with a cast of these guys.

[ryuhou]

No. Continually stabbing in the dark and hoping for a result isn't efficient or practical. *It would be reckless and impulsive, like some other people he knew of.* We need to gather information.

I've been thinking about that myself. We need these guys!

[eternity_8]

Understood. Mun is highly considering placing me in a_facility, though I'm wondering where her logic lies. Do you think that it's the same one from the Mainland?

[He's now thinking and taking Ryuhou's lead is his best bet yet.]

Yus.

[ryuhou]

You're going along with what your puppeteer decides too, Tachibana? *His tone of voice is steady, and doesn't give way whether the question was meant in disappointment or otherwise.* In any case, I doubt it's any facility related to anything we're familiar with.

He'll go where Ryuhou goes. :D

[eternity_8]

[He lowers his head slightly with a child-like expression that's soon suppressed as he looks back up.]

Do we have much of a choice? I barely have any say as it stands. I was able to find out where I was going at the very least. She already started the application and placed my reserve.

/has no plans whatsoever.

[ryuhou]

*He's said his thoughts about the matter already. However, Ryuhou couldn't keep from clenching his palm into a fist out of sheer irritation over their predicament.* The thought of not having a choice in the matter.. I can't stand it.

*And on that remark, he shot a side glance to his comrade.* This application; Were you able to see how much they seemed to know about us?

[eternity_8]

Yes, and it's quite extensive. I'm concerned that we're not going to escape this predicament. Although it would be interesting to see just how far the Gate opened that brought us here in the first place.

[He shows concern for Ryhou and nods respectfully and tries to keep up with him the best he knows how.]

I'm sorry I couldn't stop it. It's pretty strange that Unkei's Mad Script wasn't involved.
