[There’s a few clicks as someone pushes buttons and the sound of white noise for a few seconds before the owner of the device finally says something. He doesn’t sound too happy either. ]

All right. I think someone messed up this time, and it sure wasn’t me. So much for that order. Honestly, if you’re gonna send me to do the icky jobs, at least

[6/6] DONE.

[dualwielded]

Cut the crap. Poor confused soul doesn't begin to describe you.

[1/3]

[ignitive]

...

[2/3]

[ignitive]

Roxas?

[3/3]

[ignitive]

At the moment, it does. Very well. You didn't even rem... well never mind that.

So, are you going to answer them for me?

[voice]

[ebbxandxflow]

[It was that feedback that caused him to actually pay attention to the PCD, and now that he has? Well...]

.... You.

Roxas is gonna be pissed that you're here.

[Sorry Axel, you get the hostile boys greeting you <3]

[voice]

[ignitive]

Yeah? What about me?

Oh? Last I checked he didn't have a clue who I was.

[I don't expect anything less.]

[voice]

[ebbxandxflow]

Should have known you'd pop up sooner or later. You tend to worm your way into places.

[Namely those you're not wanted in. He's really just wary about the whole kidnapping Kairi thing. Oh, and Oblivion. And his observations during that year.

Wait. Didn't know who Axel was? Oh. Axel must be from back then... or even later.]

He was never put into the town. We're all from different times here, it seems.

[voice]

[ignitive]

Worm? That's what the darkness does to worlds. Or people as the case might be.

[Oh, Axel's skeptical. You're the one who infiltrated their ranks after all and you helped trap him in that world. Okay he'll think about it, but he doesn't believe you.]

Oh? Someone else knows how to manipulate time other than Luxord?

[scarysnakelady]

No idea where Twilight Town is supposed to be, but this ain't it.

Welcome to Adstringendum. [Hummm he sounds familiar, but it wasn't like she was best buddies with Axel or anything so not placing it.]

[video]

[ignitive]

It sure isn't, but ya know, that might be okay with me. [Why yes, he'll reply in video format.]

Adstringendum? Never heard of it and I've been a lot of places. Been here long?

[video]

[scarysnakelady]

[Oh, well, now that red hair is kind of distinctive, yes, she knows him, a little.]

Me? Nine months or so. I'd been a lot of places too, and never heard of this til I was dumped here. It's not a short-coming on your part then.

[video]

[ignitive]

You've been here a while, and by the sound of things, not by choice. Guess I'm in the same boat.

[He has no idea who you are, but that doesn't mean he won't ask. Have one of his wild hand gestures to accompany his little introduction]

I'm Axel. And you would be?

[Video]

[immortalservant]

Noisy boy, aren't you?

You're stuck here in Adstringendum, like the rest of us.

[Video]

[ignitive]

Noisy? Maybe, but it certainly got your attention, now didn't it?

Thanks for the warm welcome. What else should I know now that I'm unwillingly part of this community?

Re: [Video]

[immortalservant]

The animus, the creatures that control this place, create an event once a week or so. There is a ball this week.

There's no way to get home. Those who occasionally die come back within a week, other times they leave this place for good.

[Video]

[ignitive]

So these Animus get their entertainment from our reactions to these events?

Wait wait, so you're telling me that death is impermanent? This place must really want to keep us here.

[crayonsmash]

Twilight Town..? Where's that? And why do I think I've heard someone say it before...

Who are you?

Er-- This is Adstring...endum. It's a place that scientists messed up on, so we're all stuck here. Lots of people from different times and places. Do you...

Do you need any help?

[ignitive]

[Well that's a familiar voice... aren't you supposed to be asleep? NOW that's cause for concern]

Well it's certainly not here now is it?

Name's Axel, I thought you'd already have that memorized. Guess not.

I think I'll be all right, thanks. I do have a lot of questions though.

[crayonsmash]

Axel? Oh! You're the guy Roxas mentioned!

So then... [Damnit. That means your part of the Organization. And everyone says he's not to talk to any of you. Goenfdsjgkfsgnkjbnfks.]

Well... If you have questions, I can answer them. I'm Sora, but... I don't think I've met you. People come from different times and worlds here... I guess if you know Roxas, then that means I'm from your past, and your in my future.

[ignitive]

Mentioned? That sounds incriminating.

So then what? Go on, I'm listening.

[Oh you took the bait kid.] You don't think you have, or you know you haven't, pick one. Yeah I know Roxas. And if the time thing is true, then you'll have no idea what Castle Oblivion is, right?
