Phase 1: What is this?

[buster_gunner]

Err.. am I dead? A lovely place indeed for after life. Couldn't imagne anything better.

But honestly, this isn't the Voltaire, and I'm pretty sure, this isn't on the PLANTS, either. Could anyone tell me what this place is? I would be very grateful. Yzak? Are you here, too? Perhaps it would be better if he wasn't...

It may relieve you to know this is not the afterlife. You are currently in Adstringéndum, a placed formed through a failed scientific experiment that has resulted in many worlds and times being compressed together.

[buster_gunner]

Okay, the first one is perhaps really relieving, but...
Are you serious? Does a place like this exist?

[wiser_fool]

Under normal circumstances it would be highly unlikely, but these present circumstances are far from that.

[buster_gunner]

Normal, hm? Things seem to really go crazy these days...
But thank you very much for your information.
I haven't introduced myself yet, though. My name is Dearka Elthman.

You're in Adstringendum, a failed science experiment. Results are time and space compression, with people being pulled here from different words.

[buster_gunner]

A science experiment, huh? Thank you very much for the information. How do things work here?

[fortunesofwar]

How? There ar three clinics here [x,y], [x,y] and [x,y] which is best for the new arrivals - they not only offer medical help, but a place to stay. No government, no currency and no supplies or food aside from what you can loot from abandoned stores.

[buster_gunner]

Hey, are you serious?!
So this place hasn't an infrastructure to begin with. My oh my, this is perhaps even worse than the desert.

By the way... you haven't seen a silverhaired, temperamental guy here?

[somberheartof04]

Welcome.

I'm Quatre Raberba Winner. Do you need a place to stay? My companions and I have an apartment building and the entire third floor is open if you need a place.

[buster_gunner]

Thank you.

Yes, I still need a place to stay, thank you for your offering.
My name is Dearka Elthman, it's nice to meet you, Quatre. It's okay if I call you Quatre, isn't it?

[somberheartof04]

It's fine that you call me that Mr. Elthman.

I don't think my comrades will mind.

[buster_gunner]

Okay, but Dearka is okay, Quatre. Mr. Elthman is so formal when we live together.

So... you haven't talked to them yet?

[cp_archangel]

D-Dearka-kun?

[buster_gunner]

Captain Ramius?

[cp_archangel]

What a surprise. But good to know that you are here...
Hm... please don't spread that you are a Coordinator, okay?

Re: [private//unhackable]

[buster_gunner]

People have here problems with it, too? Okay, I'll try to keep it, Captain Ramius.

[buster_gunner]

Me? My name is Dearka Elthman. And you?

[buster_gunner]

Than is it okay when I call you Setsuna?
How long have you been already here, Setsuna?
