Unknown. What is this device?

This looks as if it would be another of Shikizaki Kiki's inventions. I don't think his ability to break history extends as far as where I am, though. That would be most...

uninvited.

If this is Hell, and anyone is still

[ Here, have a suit of armor pop up on your screen. ... A suit of armor that talks like a little boy. ]

Ah... excuse me, but, this isn't Hell. It's Somarium.

[ Cocking head to one side ]

Are you new here?

[ video ]

[shotthepenguin]

[More voices were coming from the strange device. How many people were in this thing?]

Unknown. I've never heard of this Somarium. I assume it is not anywhere near Japan, correct?

[Emonzaemon crosses his arms and nods.]

...Unerroneous. Souda Emonzaemon is my name and I have just arrived, as you said. [Might as well see if anyone is familiar with his name. It will make tracking down enemies that much easier.]

Re: [ video ]

[seekingbody]

Japan? No, it isn't. Somarium is a dream world. But there are a few others from Japan here as well.

Hello Souda~ I'm Alphonse Elric. I've been here for about a year now, so please let me know if I can be of help.

[shotthepenguin]

Unbelievable. A dream world? Hmph. [But his head lifts slightly as what Alphonse says next grabs his attention.] I see. Among those from Japan, is the name Princess Hitei or Maniwa familiar to you?

Emonzaemon is fine. [Another nod, this one in polite acknowledgement.] Elric-san. I have one other question. Is there a sword forgery nearby? My own swords have been rendered unusable.

[shotthepenguin]

Hm--? [The device spoke? Emonzaemon lifts the Dreamberry up, so that everything up from his waist is visible. It seemed as if someone was inside it. For now, he'll converse. He needs information, after all.]

A dream world? ['Tch.] Is that where they're sending dead men now?

[There is a pause as Emonzaemon contemplates his words. His mouth is still in its same blank frown.]

Unamusing. ...What lays beyond the city? I must return to Japan. [To his Princess.]

[shotthepenguin]

[Emonzaemon draws a breath in with a hiss. Then, that means...] Unbelievable. [But he recovers, letting his disbelief melt away from his face.]

I see. Monsters, hm? [There's a sliver of a cold smile forming.] It should be simple to dispatch them.

Unless. There are others who have probably thought the same. Why were they not successful? Are they in great number or is there something else?

[armisonant]

This is not Hell nor are you dead. In the case that no one has told you yet, this is Somarium and the device you are speaking through is called a Dreamberry.

[shotthepenguin]

[Emonzaemon takes a moment to process his words before replying.]

Unerroneous. I've been told that place is Somarium. [He thumbs the screen of the device.] Dreamberry, hm? Interesting.

...Why? That is my main question. Why were we spirited away to this place? I have duties to attend to for my princess back in Japan.

[ video ]

[armisonant]

As far as I know there is no particular reason why we are here. It seems were brought by random chance. You will eventually return to your princess [dead or alive.] though when is also based on that random chance.

[ video ]

[shotthepenguin]

Chance, hm? I suppose I was not one of fortune's favorites then. [The irony of that statement when he remembers Maniwa Pengin makes it almost bitter.]

Acceptable. As long as I return, fate can do what it wishes.

...Souda Emonzaemon. That is my name, if you wish to speak to me further.

[cut_and_kill]

You're pretty passionate! But this isn't hell.

[shotthepenguin]

Incorrect. I simply want to get rid of any enemies before they become a nuisance.

Unimpressive. This place doesn't seem to be frightening enough to be Hell, at any rate.

[cut_and_kill]

Ah... Driven, then.

Hm, for one! It's quite nice, usually. A little cold at the moment, but nice.

[shotthepenguin]

[Emonzaemon nods.] I must be to fulfill my princess' orders.

Uncertain. I wouldn't call a place that spirits away people nice, but it isn't as terrible as it could be.

Is it Winter here?
