video: this isn't a dream

[animusfortuna]

[ the feed flicks on, showing the figure of a rather young individual. his face is straight, not confused, and his stature shows that his post would be of something formal. he then speaks in a polite tone, his pitch only slightly higher than the usual male of his age. ]

Greetings.

My name is Naoto Shirogane. I am a detective who was in Inaba, Japan

[Well, at least this new arrival seems to have some sense about them and is calm. That should make things much easier.]

You vere not kidnapped, Herr.

This place ist called Adstringendum und it ist the result of a failed science experiment. To put it simply... people from all vorlds und times are being pulled into here und ve have no vay out. The only vay to 'leave' ist... vell, some people disappear und are never seen again. Ve assume that they have gone back home, but there ist no vay to really know.

Just as I expected. I assume you are German?

To be honest, I find that story quite unbelievable, but after certain circumstances I would consider that to be possible. Were the scientists responsible for this still have documents regarding the data used for their experiment?

From Munich, ja.

I am sure such papers must exist somevhere, though I vould not know how or vhere to find them.

[animusfortuna]

I see. Do you know anyone who knows of their location?

Inaba? Isn't that far from Toyko?

[animusfortuna]

Indeed, it is.

[reckless_equine]

I know some people from Inaba... but I seriously doubt that they're here. Plus, it's been years since I've seen them.

[animusfortuna]

Do you mind telling me their names?

[last_was_hope]

Oh, how lovely, another detective.

[Video]

[animusfortuna]

Do you have problems concerning detectives, sir?

[Video]

[last_was_hope]

Oh no such thing my dear, I treasure them. [A little bit of sarcasm there, but he's still pretty fond of his detectives.]

[animusfortuna]

[ sensing your sarcasm there, but meh, shrugs it away. for now. ]

I see. So, how many detectives are present in this are?

[gunshin_tsukiga]

You weren't 'technically' kidnapped, Shirogane.

[animusfortuna]

Please explain on what you meant by "weren't 'technically' kidnapped".

[gunshin_tsukiga]

Being taken away from your home dimension by time-space warps doesn't really qualify as a 'kidnapping'.

[animusfortuna]

Perhaps, but as I was taken here against my will, as well as considering my position before all of this, one can assume that I might have been kidnapped.

But yes, I suppose there is no real culprit to this, if you do not count the scientists responsible.

[ffvii_cloud]

Seems you've been informed about this world.....

.....

Welcome to Adstringendum.

[animusfortuna]

Yes. Unfortunately, it would seem that more investigation should follow, considering how scarce is information about this place.

[ffvii_cloud]

Information....

What sort of information are you searching for.

[animusfortuna]

Details regarding this 'experiment', for one. Another point worthy of finding details about would be possible determinants on who are taken in here and who would disappear through time.

There is also the geography and economy of the area, as well as any possible forms of authority or organizations around. Details about common characteristics of the flora and fauna would be appreciated, as well.
