ONE | Explanation. Now.

...

Could someone please tell me where am I?

It does not look like any place I can recognise. I am 100% positive that the surroundings in this... place is not from any place that I am familiar with in Japan.

At least the notebook is still with me.

[ooc; Strikes = not there]

[deathofarcana]

Welcome to Nihil.

[a soft giggle drifts through the air]

Let me assure you that you're not alone here...

[No voice post. Alas. Paranoid muse is paranoid]

[theidealworld]

Thank you for your welcome. But what or where is Nihil? I do not believe I have heard of it before.

[voice post because Pharos likes to creep people out]

[deathofarcana]

This is a place in-between in believe. But I can not tell for sure...

[a long deadly silent pause]

The dead like to gather here. They are drawn to those people... and the Ringmaster. [soft laughter]

Consider Mikami creeped out. D: A little, at least. He has his manpride, damnit! ><

[theidealworld]

In-between? I am not quite sure if I follow you. In-between where?

Dead? Do not tell me...

NO!!! This cannot be.

Calm down and listen to what the other party have to say. This may not be what you think it is.

Those people? The Ringmaster? Shinigami?

Is there a reason for them to gather around the Ringmaster? Is he or she special, in a sense?

[wthie_death]

As stated above, you are now in Nihil.

I am Rem, nice to meet you.

[ooc: And all of a sudden I realize that nobody here actually knows Mikami. :O]

5th time's the charm DX

[theidealworld]

Should I reveal my name to someone unfamiliar?

...

No, it is not prudent.

Likewise. I am Mikami.

Do you have any idea how I got here? Is it God's will? Or even where this place is?

[ooc; Strikes = thoughts. I'm so sorry for all those edits. x_x;;]

[wthie_death]

People from different dimensions worlds are pulled here by the Ringmaster.

[ooc: It's all right. :) My father was in charge of the network for the entire morning and I could nt see the past four replies.]

[theidealworld]

Different worlds? A Ringmaster?

How? What? I need to confirm this. This is not the first time someone has hinted that everything here is not what it seems.

...

Are you trying to tell me that this is another entire different world from what I am familiar with? And this Ringmaster is responsible. Why?

[ooc; Oh good. X3;; It was a bad case of a lot of html mistakes. XD;; And as the above, strikes = thoughts]

[clockwork_crux]

Welcome.

[theidealworld]

Thank you. Do you have any information on this place?

[clockwork_crux]

I have some, though it is rather limited. Unlike some of the other residents, I have yet to actually explore more than my room.

[theidealworld]

Any little information would help. I do not like being in a foreign place without knowing anything.

You are a recluse then?

POKING IS COMMENCING NAO. >:D

[m_utedblu_e]

I don't know where this 'Japan' is that you're talking about, but this place is called Nihil, as you've been repeatedly told. I think it's some sort of... haunted carnival.

You should have a key on you to a room in the Manor and probably a brand on you. Not sure what that's for yet.

MIKAMI KINDA LIKES YOU... FOR NOW. INFO, YOU SEE, IS THE BEST PRESENT

[theidealworld]

You have not heard of Japan? It is rather impossible that someone has not heard of the country. But he has no reason to lie to a stranger. It is best to be careful.

And pardon me. A haunted carnival? Did I read that right, or was that a mistake on your part?

A key… to a room? And a brand?

What room? For what reason?

Brand?!

[ooc; Congratulations, he is beginning to panic… a little. X_x]

Oops, I got a panic-Mikami... oops. ~<3

[m_utedblu_e]

Never.

I wouldn't say it was a mistake calling it haunted, considering I got yelled at by a ghost upon arrival.

The key to the room is where you'll be staying... as of now, all of us have no way out. The brand, I have yet to figure out where it came from or what it's for... or how it got there, for that matter.

YOU ARE NOT DOING A V. CONVINCING JOB OF ACTING SORRY THERE. >:[

[theidealworld]

H-

... Never mind that point for now.

Are you certain that it was a ghost? And not your imagination running wild?

It is against the law to hold us in a place against our will. And what brand? I know about the key, but where do you find the brand?

[ooc; Strikes = thoughts. The muse is getting a migraine and... he hasn't noticed the brand due to his shirt and coat. =.=]

[lawful_l]

Ah- welcome to Nihil, sir. May I ask your name?

[theidealworld]

... I thank you for your welcome. I am afraid I am still trying to adjust to this ridiculous situation the fact that I found myself in another place. Is there any information pertaining to this place that I should know about?

Please call me Mikami.

[ooc; Strikeouts = thoughts]

[lawful_l]

As far as I know, Nihil is a place where magic exists and the dead can talk. It seems that we’ve been kidnapped by the Ringmaster of the Carnival and the reason is yet unknown to me.
