Training 001 [Video] Is this what you call a new game +?

[For a second there, all you can see is hands as someone fiddles with the starfish phone-looking thing she found. When she finally realizes it's working, the hands move away to show a very, very soaked, and very, very confused Chie on the other end. It seems as though she's gotten over her initial panic enough to function and ask questions.]So--

You're new, I take it? The tattoo's kind of ...like a mark. We all have one.

[He laughs, a bit nervously.]

Welcome to Vatheon, the underwater city. I'm Akihiko, it's nice to meet you.

Re: video;

[meat_gum]

Oh uh-- I'm Chie. All...?

So there's a lot of people who just randomly showed up here?

[akihikos]

Yeah, all. Most of us here are foreigners, taken here from our homes.

[He pauses.]

If you can tell me where you are, I can take you to get dry clothes.

Re: video;

[meat_gum]

Thanks. Uh-- it looks like a normal-ish neighborhood?

[Exasperated, Chie just uses the SfC's camera to show the neatly lined street of the Phanga neighborhood.]

[Oh, hey, a new person. Time to be a gentleman, then.]

Well, miss, we all have ended up here with the tattoo, most likely as a way to indicate that we are not from this city.

[He nods politely at her.]

I suppose I should say, welcome to Vatheon. I am Flynn Scifo. If you have any questions or need guidance, I am more than willing to help you out. [Flynn smiles at her in friendliness.]

[meat_gum]

[That was unexpectedly polite and friendly.]

Oh-- uh-- I'm Chie Satonaka. How'd I get here, anyway?

[livedagain]

You should probably grab a towel from one of the shops.

[meat_gum]

Yeah? Where're the shops? All I see are houses.

[livedagain]

You must be in the lower district then. What IS around you?

[meat_gum]

...A lot of little houses.

[Chie adjusts the camera to show what looks like the Phanga Neighborhood.]

[pristinestar]

That is because you're no longer home. Sorry to be the bearer of bad news...

You're in Vatheon now, and you're not the only one with this situation.

[meat_gum]

Vatheon? How the heck did I get here?!

[pristinestar]

I wish I knew. We all end up here all of a sudden...

You should get yourself dried up. If you enter any store, they'll gladly give you a towel. I suggest just finding the clothing store near the plaza, it'll be easier to change into dry clothes that way.

You can get a map of Vatheon in the counseling office, which is also near the plaza.

[meat_gum]

Uh... okay. Thanks.

...Where's the plaza?

[aimforthesun]

[/most unhelpful person ever]

That would be Vatheon's greeting gift to you!

[meat_gum]

I was totally happy without one! ...Wait, who're you?

[aimforthesun]

Billy Iketani! Another person dragged here, except for me that was months ago, ahaha.

[meat_gum]

Months ago? So it's been going on for awhile?!
