[As the screen turns on viewers are greeted to the sight of a rather bored looking man, peering back through the screen with a somewhat vacant expression on his face. He just shakes his head a bit before he begins to talk, his tone dry and clearly a bit annoyed.]Alright, let's get this over with. I don't know who brought me here or how, but that's

[ ... Oh. Well. This whole 'keep being dragged into places unwillingly is annoying' thing is a sentiment Ange can agree with, even if she doesn't recognize the guy. ]

You got that right. Making things as much of a pain as possible is something they specialise in here. And it doesn't seem like they're planning to stop anytime soon either.

But aside from that.. welcome to Discedo, I guess.

[Huh. Okay that's weird... is this just another one of Bernkastel's tricks or something...]

Ange Ushiromiya. If you're here that must mean this place is still connected to that fragment somehow...

Or is this all just a coincidence? Regardless, you're not a face I ever expected to see.

[ Wow, wait, scratch that.. She's pretty sure she has never met this guy before this, but he knows her? The surprise can be read off her face pretty easily. ]

You.. know me? From back home? [ Please don't let him be some lame bff of one of the witches.. ]

[aceinquisitor]

I know you well enough, but you wouldn't know me. [how to best explain this? well actually she might understand after her part in the Sixth Game.]

I had a chance to read through your brother's tales... Well, you could say it's more like I was forced to read 'em.

< Mister > Willard H. Wright... it is a pleasure to be speaking with YOU. Please allow me to send you an attachment of some of the information acquired by other INDIVIDUALS.

*Dlanor sends this over to Will.*

[aceinquisitor]

Well, this is unexpected. Dlanor A. Knox... so you've gotten roped into this too?

[he takes a moment to read over what he's been sent before sighing.]

I think they made a mistake. This sounds more like science fiction than anything else. They got the wrong guy.

[dollofmarble]

Yes, I also think we are both unsuited to be HERE. However, I can tell you that I was brought here and not sent here for WORK. Perhaps this is unrelated to your former TITLE?

[aceinquisitor]

I've started to get that feeling myself. Hearing that from you just confirms it. Still, whether they brought me here for that purpose or not, there's obviously a mystery to be solved. I don't suppose I can just leave this one to you though, can I...?

It's unfortunate that you got dragged into this too. Pleasure to meet you, Will. I'm Battler Ushiromiya, but just call me Battler.

Do you understand the situation you're in or do you need me to explain?

video

[aceinquisitor]

Battler Ushiromiya. Somehow I got the feeling I'd see your face after meeting the other two.

I understand it well enough. Which is to say there really isn't much to explain. We're stuck here, monsters are trying to kill us, we do what we can to survive. Or is there something more to it?

video

[ex_goldensy]

Do you know me from somewhere?!?!

[Will's words are implying it. He had to ask.]

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

[aceinquisitor]

We've never met, but I know you well enough. I was given your stories to read... they were pretty interesting, I'll grant you that. You did a fairly impressive job.

[cankillanything]

Yup, this'll be a pain in the ass.

[aceinquisitor]

It's good to have that suspicion to confirmed right from the get go. I won't have to waste any time on it now.

[cankillanything]

Trust me, you'll have plenty of time to waste here.

[aceinquisitor]

It's not like I really have much better to do back home, but that's annoying to hear. They could at least keep us busy.
