[The feed shows a single glass covered red eye before pulling away to a spectacled man's face. His face is pulled into a calm, inquisitive, and slightly puzzled expression.

He looks around for a moment.]

Well then, this is certainly not a place I expected to wake up to.

[Seriously, where was his bed

[ This was Watanuki's first time seeing someone wake up to this place since he arrived. The red eye put him off for a moment, but soon, the boy found himself answering to the video unintentionally as he hovered over the screen at an odd angle--he was holding a bowl in his hand, mixing flour and water. An apron was over his plain black school uniform. ]

...Someone's come to this place... [ He didn't think jade could hear him, but he was wrong! ]

[ Video ]

[jaded_curtiss]

Place? And what place would this be?

[He notices the mixing bowl.]

[ Video ] 1/3

[dreamdecoder]

[ ACK! H-he heard! ]

[ Video ] 2/3

[dreamdecoder]

[ Well, that was embarrassing, wasn't it. The two-toned eyes boy moved a little more into the PCD. ]

[Oh great, Jade is here. Just the person Luke wanted to see.]

No one ever expected to wake up here, Jade. So you better get used to it, since you're probably not leaving here any time soon.

[Grumbling...he's putting his coat on and getting read to go get old man Jade out of the snow.]

[Video]

[jaded_curtiss]

Care to be just a little less vague than that, Luke?

[Not really put off by the long hair and that attitude was unsettlingly familiar.]

[Video]

[idkmybffguy]

How's this then...I've been here for five months and I don't think I'm going anywhere unless the Animus stop being assholes and let us all go home.

We've got a war to stop and I've kept Master Van waiting long enough, I think.

[Video]

[jaded_curtiss]

[Waaaaait just a tic. Let's think this out properly.

Ignoring that stuff about...Animus, whatever those are.

A war to stop. The war had already been stopped.

"I've kept Master Van waiting long enough"? That familiar obsessive talk of his corrupt Master. Besides, Van was already defeated.

The Colonel actually looks confused.]

Run that by me again? At risk of sounding naive, exactly what war are we speaking of?

[blamelessguilt]

Ah, you're new here? [ Quietly peering into the feed. He's never seen you before, so... ]

I guess welcome, then.

video;

[jaded_curtiss]

I suppose so.

Thank you for the welcome.

[He pushes up his glasses.]

Would you mind telling me more about where I am?

video;

[blamelessguilt]

[ A small, and rather sheepish nod. ] You're welcome.

You're... in a place called Adstringendum. It's not a very nice place, and most of it is in ruins. [ A pause. ] I don't think there's a way out, either.

[jaded_curtiss]

So I've gathered...

[He thinks for a second.]

Tell me, other than monsters, ruins, being stranded, crushed dimensions and the like, how do things work here?

Since we're all from different dimensions, I'm sure currencies are worthless and there would be far too much of a cross-cultural struggle to have some sort of organized law and order to this place.

So what do people that end up here do exactly about this place?

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

If only all the newcomers could be that observant.

[Jade meet Raven's sarcasm.]

[Video]

[jaded_curtiss]

How else am I going to cry out for help?

[Raven meet Jade's sarcasm.]

[feel_nevermore]

Please, by all means, do refrain from crying out.

[And she kinda likes you already.]

I'm Raven. You?

[jaded_curtiss]

I'll have to try my best. I've been put in such a frightful position.

[Awesome]

Colonel Jade Curtiss. It's a pleasure to meet you, Miss Raven.

[Video]

[jaded_curtiss]

Yes and the ominous notes of not being able to leave and space-time continuums as well as these mysterious Animus.

No, I wouldn't think anyone would expect it.

Do you have any clearer information for me, I don't think anyone who's contacted me really understands the situation.

[As you can tell, he's sick of not knowing what is going on]

[Video]

[jaded_curtiss]

And no one has tried extensive research to try to figure out their own answers?

What of studying about this dimensional cluster and trying to find their own way to undo it?
