001 . : Okumura Yukio + Rin [VIDEO]

[doctor_dragoon]

[A sequence of beeps sounds over the network, pressed in a rhythm as if someone's trying to dial a phone number. The video feed cuts in rather suddenly, showing a very close-up view of an unfamiliar face. A boy wearing glasses, probably teen-aged, is frowning heavily down at the camera as he prods the buttons of the PDA.]

I can't dial out, and my cell phone has no signal at all. [He looks up and off to one side, obviously addressing someone else.]

What about yours?

[Another face appears in the frame, a teenage boy sharing some of the features of the first looks over his shoulder. He looks rather frustrated and is holding a cell phone in his hand too.]

It ain't workin' either.

[The first boy shakes his head, schooling that frown into something closer to neutrality, but that crease between his eyebrows never quite disappears. After a moment more of considering the PDA, he lets his arm drop to his side, leaving only a view of solid black fabric.]

... We need to find a door.

There's gotta be on around here somewhere. [Rin stuffs his phone in his pocket, having established that it is useless, and starts marching towards where it looks like there are buildings.]

[action]

[doctor_dragoon]

Don't just rush off, Nii-san. [Yukio tucks away his useless cell phone, but lifts the PDA to ponder it again. Strange new place, strange new (and fairly fancy) phone, a sibling that shouldn't be anywhere in his vicinity at the moment...]

We need to be cautious.

[action]

[bluedemonflames]

There's no one here ta be cautious of. [He scowls. This is all quite confusing since he was supposed to be back at the dorms with Shura, not suddenly in the middle of nowhere with his brother who took off on a mission.]

You're sure this isn't some kinda weird test? [Blacky steps in between the two stares up at the both of them. Really Rin this is no time to pick a fight.]

[You know, he's used to people asking for ways to leave, but nothing as specific (and as mundane) as a door.]

―Hello? [ getting louder to draw Yukio's attention to his PDA: ] Excuse me! You'll find there're no shortage of doors here, but I'm afraid we've yet to discover one that leads out.

[VIDEO]

[doctor_dragoon]

[The camera's flipped up to show the boy in glasses again. He blinks down at the screen for a moment, but quickly shakes off his surprise to focus on studying the stranger displayed.

... What is up with that face?]

Who are you? Where are we?

[VIDEO]

[tothelastbreath]

[Oh, just the marks of a particularly traumatising childhood. Don't mind them.]

[Allen's smile is disarming and sturdy under Yukio's scrutiny, he's used to people reacting like this to his appearance.]

Allen Walker, someone who's been brought here like you have. [ Going by that slightly malnourished look he has about him, he's probably been here for a good while, too. ] 'Here' being Nesreca, an abandoned city in an alternate version of Russia. [ A slight wince, then. ] I know it's hard to believe, but you're not in your own world anymore.

[Rin sees what's going on over there and pulls out his own PDA thing to give this a try. There's a very strange looking black cat sitting on his head that has two tails.]

Who're you? [He raises an eyebrow. What's up with this guy. He looks like a weird cosplayer.] Do ya know what's goin' on here?

[Voice]

[astheteaseturns.livejournal.com]

Look through any doors you want, you're stuck here just like the rest of us.

[Video]

[doctor_dragoon]

[The boy wearing glasses frowns down at the PDA, quirking an eyebrow at the lack of visual.]

So I've been told. Who are you?

[Video]

[bluedemonflames]

Yeah we noticed. [He frowns so hard at this mysterious voice.] Who are ya and what do ya mean the rest of you? Are there a lot of ya out there?

[gatherstoys]

Two toys.

[Video]

[bluedemonflames]

Hey! Who you callin' a toy?!

[video]

[doctor_dragoon]

"Toys"?

[hebi]

There's something you don't see everyday.

[doctor_dragoon]

[Ah, another one of the trapped, apparently.]

Excuse me?

[Video]

[bluedemonflames]

What is?

voice;

[outsidehistory]

The doors here don't lead to anywhere you'll want to go, really. Then again I guess you've already been told that.

video;

[doctor_dragoon]

[Another one with no visual. Later Yukio'll have to take some time to fiddle with his PDA and figure out how to do the same.]

We have. You are?

[Video]

[bluedemonflames]

Yeah. That's what all of ya have been sayin'. Who're you?

[He raises an eyebrow and crosses his arms. Looks to Rin like he's met another weird faceless guy.]

We weren't tryin' to go anywhere here anyways. [He adjusts the bag over his shoulder containing something long and thin.]

[foundanewdream.livejournal.com]

You two got to arrive together? [Smiles a bit.] Pascal and I did the same not too long ago.

VIDEO

[doctor_dragoon]

[Frooown-... blink. First female member of the welcoming party. First one to start with a smile too, which in this situation? Yukio finds rather odd, but he's kind of uptight anyway.]

Ah... So you haven't been trapped here as long as some of the others?

VIDEO

[bluedemonflames]

[Rin blinks a couple of times. He wasn't expecting someone so cheerful to show up here after the others. Blacky mews happily from his perch on Rin's shoulder that isn't occupied by the strap of a long thin bag.]

Who's Pascal? And who're you?

[Text]

[feralstorm.livejournal.com]

I see you got the welcome mat.

I won't rehash the details but, if you told me what you've heard so far I can fill in what little I know.

Before you ask, call me Xi. I'm not in good enough shape to presentable on these things.

[Video]

[bluedemonflames]

Uh...Nice to meet ya Xi. I'm Okumura Rin. This guy Allen said some ghost girl brought everyone here and we're from different worlds. That true?

[He scratches at his head.]

What happened to ya?

[Video]

[doctor_dragoon]

[Froooown. All these people speaking up without showing their faces.]

Okumura Yukio. I don't suppose you know any more about this ghost girl than Walker-san does?
