OPENING LOG: Awakening

WHO: Everybody!
WHERE: The Junk Pile.
WHEN: Right here, right now.
WHAT: Game opening! Our Heroes find themselves in a strange place not of their own world, however familiar (or not) it may be.




Consciousness is slow, and a struggle to obtain. The moments before darkness are hazy enough; a great vertigo, a twisting, and then, falling. Falling for what seemed like forever. And when you are finally aware of your surroundings, it is most decidedly not where you came from.

Instead, you are now in what appears to be a wasteland. A wasteland...of junk. Debris as far as you can see, heaped in mini-mountains that offer only so good of a view of the world around you. Perhaps in the distance, you can make out some flatter land, perhaps you can just make out what looks like a crevice - but it's difficult at best. The light here is all wrong, the two greatest sources being a white line in the alien sky that doesn't so much give off light as simply have it - and something in the south that glows like a setting sun.

You may or may not notice it at first, but you, too, have something alien - something on your arm, more likely than not. A marking that glows softly, but offers no clue as to how it got there - no pain, no sensitivity. It's simply there, as you are here.

So.

Now what?

((OOC: This is it, you guys! Have a blast! Please remember to keep everything under the first thread for now; we'll be adding the Firstforged in in a little bit...

OKAY There is now a second thread to post in! Feel free to make new threads there to react to the arrival of the Firstforged, or respond directly to the Firstforged themselves.))

Giant robots from Shibuya. Apparently, Demyx's initial assessment of that planet had been completely incorrect ("Well there was this one cool guy who was like all about hanging out and we had ramen, BUT THEN OH GOD SOMEONE STARTED TALKING ABOUT MATH"), but that was par for the course when it came to Demyx.

"No, sorry," said Luxord. This wasn't any world known to him.

Luxord didn't know.

So that meant this human, this alien human, was just as lost as he was. It also meant that he wasn't going to be getting any answers, here.

McCrane signed, and nodded.

He'd learned some things, but it wasn't enough to get him back home. "I should continue my investigation," he offered knowing that Luxord wouldn't particularly understand, but feeling stranger to say nothing at all.

Instead, he stared at the refrigerator, and pointed to the line that connected his Earth with this, garbage-filled world. "Not Spaceship," he said, in English, and looked back to see if Luxord had any idea how he'd gotten here, if not via ship. If not...then it was time for him to move on.

He at least got the gist of it, some sort of 'I should be going' thing, he supposed. As to that question...

There was no way in Shadow he was going to be able to explain Dark Corridors through pictograms, so he just shrugged.

"Are you going to be alright here, if I go?" he asked in Japanese, in case any of the words made to Luxord. He wasn't particularly eager to abandon a human who was as lost as he was, but there was nothing about this one that indicated any distress.

Considering his language again, he tried in english: "You okay?"

Luxord chuckled.

"I'm fine, no need to worry yourself about me," he said, and then amended it with something a little simpler. "I'm okay."
mccrane: (Smile--gonna walk away)

[personal profile] mccrane 2012-06-27 05:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That was good enough for him. He offered a bow of the head, and a "It was nice to meet you. Good luck," in Japanese, even knowing the other wouldn't understand.

Then, he moved to continue on.

He would, however, glance back several times, just in case, still hesitant about leaving someone that he was coded to protect.

Luxord gave a jaunty wave, then started off in the opposite direction. Of course, the second time McCrane looked back, Luxord was gone completely, having decided to take a Corridor across the empty plain.
mccrane: (Surprised--WTF)

That...would be a more than a little disturbing to him. When he doesn't see you the second time, he'd go to investigate the spot where you should have been, wondering if you'd just managed to get around some pile in the junk and got lost to sight.

Not finding you will make him more than a little bit perplexed.

However, there is nothing to do about it, so he'd log it for later questioning and continue on.
