Memory One: Video

[memoryshapesme]

[The PCD clicks on, and for the first few moments it seems to be only showing a black screen, while the sound of violin music floats through the speakers. The screen focuses more and little white specks can been seen. After a minute a slight silhouette twirls on screen in rhythm to the music, only acknowledging the device as his hip crashes into it

[Usagi inhales deeply and gives a breathy, transported smile to the video.]

The music is so beautiful! [He could be one of Michiru's students, it's so lovely!]

[Momiji's eyes go wide as he stares at the device. It has video?! That was so.... awesome!]

Uwah! I didn't know this thing was on! Or that it could be turned on! Or-- Or-- [His excitement completely overwhelming the lost feeling]

Hi!

[buntails]

[His excitement only spurs on her own.] Yeah, yeah, we didn't really have things like this back home! [Well, they did, but only the senshi, so that doesn't really count for this purpose.]

They're great, aren't they?

[She's... forgetting to ask his name.]

[Excitement feeding off of excitement, oh dear]
No! Nuh-uh! Not at all!! It's so neat! How does it know who to connect to??

[Momiji has begun bouncing up and down with his excitement, also completely forgetting to introduce himself]

[prodigalmight]

[The sound of a violin really was nice to hear. It was calming, especially after the chaos of last week. Yeah, chaos. That was the only word he could really use to describe it.]

You aren't home anymore, that's for sure. You're in a place called Adstringendum. If you have any questions, feel free to ask.

[memoryshapesme]

Adstinge-wha? [Momiji glances around himself again]

Is that... That doesn't sound like any place in Japan that I've heard... [He takes a seat where he stands. He felt like it was going to be a conversation that he'd need to be already on the ground to hear.]

[prodigalmight]

[Wait? He was from Japan too?! He leaned forward a little bit before realizing that just because this guy was from Japan didn't mean he was from his Japan.]

It's pretty much an alternate universe type of thing. I think of it as a universal vacuum. It takes people from many different worlds and brings them together here. Which is kinda nice, but this place is pretty dangerous sometimes. If you want I can come and talk to you about this in person. I found it helpful when I got here to know that there are other people that are tangible and not just a voice on a device.

[memoryshapesme]

[Momiji tilted his head when the other leaned in, but the moment seemsed to have passed]

Alternate... universe... What. [These things actually... happen?!] So... Sososo, there are other worlds? And we're just... falling into this one? Suddenly?

[At the mention of dangerous, he tilts his ear up into the air. Didn't hear much. But that didn't mean anything.] Uh... Can you find me?

...oh! My name's Momiji! Momiji Sohma!

[verlorenscasket]

Welcome to Club Adstring kiddo. I'm new here too. It isn't too bad. At least you came in after the zombies left.

[memoryshapesme]

Uh, thanks. Adstring is a lot easier to pronounce that the other one... Adstringe-somthinerother. [Momiji looks thoughtful]

Zombies like... a... game...? [somehow he gets the feeling that it wasn't a simple game of HvsZ]

[verlorenscasket]

Yeah, it's the adopted name. Adstringendum is too much for a fair amount of people to pronounce.

[He raises his eyebrow and smirks a little.] Yeah, like a game. Except you were the player. Some people weren't so good at the game.

[memoryshapesme]

[He smiles] I can see why! Works out a lot better that way I think. [he nods decisively]

eh-heh... [he bites his lip] Somehow that doesn't sound... like a lot of fun...

[The violin music coming from the PCD catches Juliet's attention, and she pauses in her efforts to clean up the house to find out who is playing so nicely. Another child. A boy younger than she, but older than Bubbles. Why, Animus, why children?]

You play very well, young sir. But you should not be out alone in the streets. It is not safe for children to be alone in this place.

[Video]

[memoryshapesme]

[He flails his arms in front of himself in embarrassment]
Oh Geez, I'm not that good... But thanks.

Um... Why isn't it... exactly safe? Someone said bad wildlife... but it sounded a little more serious that your average wild dog...

[Video]

[capuletnomore]

And you are modest. A positive trait for anyone to have.

My cousin tells me it is not safe. I have heard tale of wild animals - rabbits that attack as if they are starved wolves and the like. And there are dragons in the wilderness.

[She nods to the boy.]

I am Juliet. Should you need assistance, the house of Capulet will welcome you most kindly.

Re: [Video]

[memoryshapesme]

[he offers her a smile] I'm Momiji. Momiji Sohma. Thanks for the offer... I might have to take you up on that...

Rabbits attacking? [now that wasn't anything that made sense to Momiji. He was always got along well with rabbits, infact they typically gathered around him...]

Wait. Dragons? Not like Dragon-dragons....right? Like... seahorses... [his voice got smaller as the sentence went on]

[bunny_flower]

Are you alright, child?

[memoryshapesme]

Oh! Um! Hi... [He looks a little frazzled]

I, I uh, think I'm doing alright... Is this really... another world? [He thought, maybe coming from someone a little older, the answer might be different. He could have some hope.]

[bunny_flower]

I am afraid so.

Have people offered to take you in already, or do you need a place to rest?

[memoryshapesme]

[He bites his lip] Right. Okay. [happy thoughts... happy thoughts. happythoughthappythoughts]

Um. I have someone coming to meet me... so I think I'm... [okay? hahahaaaa] covered. Yeah, I should be fine.
