Lelouch?! C.C.?!

[The video feed picks up on a dark haired boy with wide green eyes. He’s searching desperately for something and there’s the occasional glimpse of what looks to be a helmet in his right hand.]

I don’t have time for this.

[His voice sounds tense and he takes a couple of steps backwards from the small stream of people who are

[That voice--he has to be imagining things. It has to be the stress of the situation getting to him.]

[Turns around and finds himself even more shocked when he sees Euphemia there in front of him.]

[Blinks and stares down at the device. Suddenly he's thinking maybe this device isn't as helpful as he'd been hoping it would be.]

[He's about to turn off the device all together when he catches the part about not leaving.]

What do you mean we can't leave? If there's a way in here then there's a way out.

YOU WOULD THINK, WOULDN'T YOU.
UNFORTUNATELY THAT IS NOT THE GOGDAMNED CASE.
ONCE YOU ARE IN, YOU STAY IN
UNTIL THE GODS OF THIS CURSED CITY DECIDE TO TOSS YOU OUT.
THAT'S WHAT IT FUCKING MEANS.

[ Flynn was walking around idk why when he spots you, a familiar face. ]

Sir Suzaku?

[ Flynn then tries to match your pace... ]

[sword_of_zero]

[Suzaku's even more confused now than he was before. He has no idea who the person calling out to him is. He's become pretty infamous in the world but no one who wasn't working for Lelouch would use his name so casually.]

How do you know my name?

[srslynotguy]

[ It doesn't look like Suzaku remembers anything...? ]

We've known each other for a while. Unless...

[ He thinks here, but smiles anyway. ]

I'm Flynn Scifo, Euph- Lady Euphemia's friend.

[ Somehow, using honorifics with this Suzaku (for Euphy, that is) might be appropriate even if he's gotten used to calling Euphemia 'Euphy'... ]

[sword_of_zero]

[The only thing he remembers is his time in his world and how he needs to be there or things are going to get very messy.]

I've never met you before.

[Even at the mention of Euphemia's name, he keeps his composure. Before he says anything he needs to get a better understanding of what's going on.]

Do you know who the Emperor is?

[plzcallmemama]

[Way to make a girl feel wretched!]

Of course it can't! Not with innocent lives hanging in the balance and nor should it! But I'm afraid you can't leave.

They just won't let us.

[Holds back her own tears. Really, City. Try to show a bit of compassion here!]

[sword_of_zero]

[He's right there with you!]

They? Who are they? I have to leave, I've been here too long already.

[plzcallmemama]

The deities, someone, I'm not sure! You'd think someone would have a straight answer by now, but no... no one does! I even meet a guy that's been here for a year and he still hasn't found a way back home!

[She really does feel for you. Really!]

[sword_of_zero]

[He wants to tell her that answer is not good enough, but she's not a Britannian soldier. He's starting to think that she's not even from the same world as him.]

Is there anyone I can ask who might have a better idea of who is control of this place?

[manofgnee]

Wait...I know you. You're Euphie's...

...Er...hi. Welcome to the City...Suzaku, right?

[sword_of_zero]

[Another stranger who recognizes his name and isn't disgusted by him. What is going on? He's tempted to put his mask on but he has a feeling it won't make any difference.]

Who are you?

[manofgnee]

I'm Hanna. I'm...er...friends with Euphie. I think you know her, she's talked about you a lot in the past.

[They're only 'er...friends' because honestly, he has no idea if they're officially dating or not.]

[sword_of_zero]

[A lot in the past...?] How long have you known Her Highness?
