001 . : Okumura Yukio + Rin [VIDEO]

[smiling_dragoon]

[A sequence of beeps sounds over the network, pressed in a rhythm as if someone's trying to dial a phone number. The video feed cuts in rather suddenly, showing a very close-up view of an unfamiliar face. A boy wearing glasses, probably teen-aged, is frowning heavily down at the camera as he prods the buttons of the PDA.]

I can't dial out, and my

Don't just rush off, Nii-san. [Yukio tucks away his useless cell phone, but lifts the PDA to ponder it again. Strange new place, strange new (and fairly fancy) phone, a sibling that shouldn't be anywhere in his vicinity at the moment...]

We need to be cautious.

[smiling_dragoon]

That you know of. [He finally tucks the PDA into one of his many pockets, striding to catch up with Rin.]

Yes, I'm sure.

[You know, he's used to people asking for ways to leave, but nothing as specific (and as mundane) as a door.]

―Hello? [ getting louder to draw Yukio's attention to his PDA: ] Excuse me! You'll find there're no shortage of doors here, but I'm afraid we've yet to discover one that leads out.

[The camera's flipped up to show the boy in glasses again. He blinks down at the screen for a moment, but quickly shakes off his surprise to focus on studying the stranger displayed.

... What is up with that face?]

Who are you? Where are we?

[Oh, just the marks of a particularly traumatising childhood. Don't mind them.]

[Allen's smile is disarming and sturdy under Yukio's scrutiny, he's used to people reacting like this to his appearance.]

Allen Walker, someone who's been brought here like you have. [ Going by that slightly malnourished look he has about him, he's probably been here for a good while, too. ] 'Here' being Nesreca, an abandoned city in an alternate version of Russia. [ A slight wince, then. ] I know it's hard to believe, but you're not in your own world anymore.

[Most people just don't wear them on their face, sir.]

..... An alternate version of Russia?

[Someone is understandably skeptical. Okay, maybe less 'skeptical' and more 'what in the hell are you talking about, you crazy person'.]

[Voice]

[astheteaseturns]

Look through any doors you want, you're stuck here just like the rest of us.

[smiling_dragoon]

[The boy wearing glasses frowns down at the PDA, quirking an eyebrow at the lack of visual.]

So I've been told. Who are you?

[Voice → Video]

[astheteaseturns]

[There's a moment of silence before the video clicks on, showing Tyki in his White form. He smiles.]

Tyki Mikk. And you are?

[Video]

[smiling_dragoon]

[Yukio studies the new face for a few long moments before relenting.]

Okumura Yukio. So you're one of the others Walker-san spoke of.

[mysteriouswhite]

Two toys.

[Video]

[mysteriouswhite]

You.

[theloneheir]

There's something you don't see everyday.

[smiling_dragoon]

[Ah, another one of the trapped, apparently.]

Excuse me?

[theloneheir]

Two people coming in at the same time. I've never seen it happen before.

[smiling_dragoon]

And you are?
