Ω → one [video]

[silvereclipse]

[ A man clad in a rather fancy military uniform, dripping wet, hair sticking to his face can be found down on all fours. While his breathing seems to indicate that he inhaled some water not too long ago, he isn't coughing. Rather, he's shaking. Out of rage. ]

No... I can't... this isn't...

[ Slowly getting to his feet, his breath labored, and his hand holding up his crystalline sword by the blade - and some blood welling up in his fist because of it - the man finally looks up, but his face isn't visible to the camera. ]

Lord Galcian needs me. Whoever brought me here will pay dearly for this.

Comments

[Action okay?]

[behind_my_smile]

[The scent of blood attracted the vampire in an instant. It burns his nose and he can't help but follow it, fearing that it means someone is injured. The pupil of his golden eye is a slit, the only indication that his vampire powers are activated. As he comes upon the man, he keeps a safe distance because..well never sneak up on someone with a sword!]

Excuse me..are you okay?

[ sure! ]

[silvereclipse]

[ Blood drips on the pavement as Ramirez adjusts the sword into his belt. Ramirez had a habit of acting irrationally in a rage like this, going frenzied fairly easily. One of his gloves now ruined, the Admiral flinches when he hears a voice. It still hadn't occurred to him that he was under an ocean, but when it did, he'd likely refuse to believe it.

Flinching when he hears a voice, Ramirez turns to the source, but doesn't say anything. Just... Glares. Fiercely. ]

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai holds up his hands and smiles, trying to show he isn't the one to be so angry at. He approaches slowly, feeling a little safer now that the sword as been put away.]

You should really get your hand looked at. [And cleaned up before this scent became too much for him.]

[silvereclipse]

I can heal myself.

[ The way this thing was looking at him was starting to irritate him, but right now, Ramirez needed information. ]

Where am I?

[behind_my_smile]

Do you have accelerated healing? If so, that's very convenient! I hope your hand heals quickly then! [Fai has that ability too but he doesn't offer that information. Instead he just continues to smile.]

It's the bubble! Or at least that is what a lot of people call it. One person even called it a fish bowl. I liked that name too.

[silvereclipse]

Specifics, please.

[ Ignoring the obviously empty flattery. ]

[behind_my_smile]

Vatheon! That's its real name. [He points up at the bubble] You can see why those others fit though, and they are far more fun.

[He holds his arms open wide] Welcome~ It's a strange world but there are lots of interesting people here. And before you ask, no I'm not in charge and no, I don't know how we leave. No one knows the answers to those really.

[silvereclipse]

[ Ramirez looked upwards... and it just now sunk in where he was. Water. Everywhere. That's why he was wet... he's never seen so much water in all of his life. His eyes briefly widen, before he gets a grip on himself. ]

How is this possible?

[ If Ramirez wasn't so good at the art of the poker face, he'd be panicking right now. ]

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai merely shrugs and keeps looking up at the water.] No one has all the answers..or very many answers really. You can find out some things with your little communication device. There are maps and money and all kinds of useful things on there.

[He looks back down finally.] The short version is, you're on a different world from your own. One that many things you wouldn't expect to be possible..are actually possible. You are free to do just about anything you want.

[silvereclipse]

That isn't possible!

[ Ramirez snaps back, immediately going into defensive mode. ]

I need to return to Lord Galcian... he's counting on me to destroy those Nasrean dogs. I--...

[ Normally, Ramirez doesn't respond to bad news like this; usually he responds with his sword. But... well, it's not every day you wake up in an entirely different world than your own. ]

[behind_my_smile]

[Fai holds his hands up and tries to calm the man's anger.] Don't worry..apparently time stops or something while you are here. When you do get to return, you return to the same point that you left.

[silvereclipse]

[ Silence, for almost a full minute. He's letting that sink in. ]

What manner of sorcery is this?

[behind_my_smile]

Well no one really knows if it is magic..or some other sort of power. We've just been chosen to try and help out this world.

[silvereclipse]

And what makes them think I wish to help?

[behind_my_smile]

Perhaps you have something that makes you special, that only you can do! And it feels it needs it. It doesn't really ask for those kinds of things. This world is kind of demanding in that respect.

[silvereclipse]

Then they will look elsewhere. I want no part of their ridiculous plan.

[behind_my_smile]

Ah well..if you find a way out make sure you let everyone know. I'm sure there are others that would be interested in knowing.

[silvereclipse]

What happens to them is of no importance to me.

[behind_my_smile]

You know, if you help others they will be more willing to help you. And I believe if you expect to get out of here, you're going to need to rely on some others.

[silvereclipse]

I neither need, nor want their help.

[behind_my_smile]

You say that now, but you might change your tune after you've been here awhile.

[silvite]

[Fina notices a very familiar face, she tilts her head.]

...Ramirez?

[Video]

[silvereclipse]

[ He knows that voice. It visibly surprises him, but his face quickly fixes into a glare. ]

Where am I?

[ No greeting. No friendliness. Just demands. ]

Re: [Video]

[silvite]

[Fina's face immediately softens.]

I am not entirely sure, I am a bit bewildered myself, Rami-irez.

[She detested saying his name that way, but he seemed to be rather angry.]

[Video]

[silvereclipse]

You are saying you were brought here as well?

[ Not that he doesn't have a reason not to believe her, but... ]

Re: [Video]

[silvite]

[Fina's face softened a bit more when his voice no longer seemed cross.]

Yes, I have been brought here too. It is very strange that the first thing I see is you. May I inquire if you are alright?

[Video]

[silvereclipse]

Don't be a fool.

[ He was actually about to kick you, Vyse, Aika, and Gilder's ass in Nasr. ]

I'm fine.

[ Aside from the bleeding palm. ]

Re: [Video]

[silvite]

[Fina shakes her head to Ramirez' harsh words.]

You are not fine, Ramirez. You are bleeding. Perhaps, if you'd like I could come and heal you?

[Video]

[silvereclipse]

I am fully capable of healing myself, Fina.

[ But he didn't say no. ]

Re: [Video]

[silvite]

I apologize, I simply offered. Would you like assistance?

[Video]

[silvereclipse]

[ Ramirez wants to say no. He hates Fina for betraying him. He feels like she stabbed him in the back by siding with pirates over him. But... she's the only person here he knows. ]

If you insist.
