FIRST SOUL --> [Video]

[*Click!* As soon as the device turns on, the face of a young girl comes into view. She's about fourteen, with bright green eyes that scan the screen for something that she doesn't seem to find. Her expression is deadly serious, and she takes a deep breath before speaking.]If someone can hear me on this thing... my name's Maka Albarn, Scythe

Comments

[soulsymmetrical]

[well he's both surprised and glad to see a familiar face.

...though it's rather clear that she does not remember her time before. which is a bit disappointing, but no matter.]

We're in a dream world called Somarium, Maka.

[papahunter]

[Double-take. Wait, is that--]

Kid! Jeez, I'm really glad to see you.

[The Meister nods her head.] I heard that from a few other people already. I don't think I understand it, though... how could we be in a dream world?

[soulsymmetrical]

To be honest, I'm not sure myself. There's very little known about this world, and what information we do have doesn't give us much to work with.

[papahunter]

[You can be that she's going to go digging through nearby information sources anyway.] Perfect...

[There's a brief silence.] Hey, Kid... is this line, uh... secure?

1/2

[soulsymmetrical]

...

Would you like it to be? One moment.

[and he quickly sets up a filter.]

2/2 [ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[soulsymmetrical]

It's secured now. What is it that you want to talk about?

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[papahunter]

I just want to make sure. [Because she definitely doesn't trust this dream place.]

... The last thing I remember is chasing the Kishin out from underground. I got knocked out, though, and I woke up here. Could his revival have something to do with this?

[Can you tell she's concerned about all this?]

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[soulsymmetrical]

[he can. but he's also rather shocked.]

The Kishin...!? Maka that happened a while ago. Is that really the last thing you remember?

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[papahunter]

[Well, now she's even more concerned.]

What--... what're you talking about? It was just Christmas Eve, wasn't it?

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[soulsymmetrical]

[pinching the bridge of his nose. he had to fill her in before, but not this much.]

No...it wasn't. In fact it's been a few months since then.

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[papahunter]

A few months? No, there's no way!

[But she's realizing it, deep down. Why would he lie about this?]

How... could I forget all of that?

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[soulsymmetrical]

You didn't forget, Maka. As strange as this will sound, it's most likely you just have yet to experience it. [he never will quite understand it, but something is better than nothing.] This world tends to take people from different times. Prime example would be us. For you, I'm from the future. Whereas for me, you're from the past.

[a breath.] I'll fill you in on the details, though most of it won't make sense to you.

Where are you?

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[papahunter]

[Well, that would make sense, if he claimed to be from months ahead, while she was sure that it had just been Christmas Eve. The young Meister nods slowly, though this matter is far from settled.] Okay.

I'm in a field... there're a lot of scarecrows hanging around. I think there's a village nearby.

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[soulsymmetrical]

There are a few fields like that...do you think you can find the fountain? There's one in the very center of the village. I can meet there and explain everything in person.

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[papahunter]

Yeah, I'll go look for it now. Thanks, Kid.

[ FILTERED | PRIVATE ]

[soulsymmetrical]

No problem.

[and he hangs up before leaving his apartment. fastest way to travel? via flying skateboard of course.]

[ooc: should we do separate log or continue here?]
