[Video] Is this a dream?

[akihisaful]

[Video feed turns on and reveals a genuinely confused guy looking at the screen.]

Uh... Hi everyone. I was supposed to be in a headlock by one of my friends at school and at the brink of death. I know this isn't the afterlife since there's so many times I got real close to crossing that river, so is it some kind of dream land?

Sorry, but will anyone be able to give me answers of where this place is? This watch gave me some info but I'm still having trouble understanding what it's saying.

Oh, I almost forgot. My name's Akihisa Yoshii. Nice to meet everyone.

((ooc: Would a mod be so kind to add his tag into the tag list...? ;w;))

You're probably not dreaming, although I wouldn't rule out some kind of shared consciousness entirely. We could all be dreaming together, or be in some kind of elaborate hologram...but probably not.

I'm still trying to get a solid answer for your second question, but it seems there are some kind of monsters attacking this city, and we "visitors" are the best-equipped to fight them.

And finally, my name is Meetra Surik. It's nice to meet you, too.

((And while we're asking the mods for tags...))

Nice to meet you, Miss Surik! [He smiles at you before he gives a confused look.]

Hologram? If that's true, this place must be really high-tech! My school has some pretty high-tech-y stuff, but super deformed versions of us appear as holograms in certain granted areas...

[echo_of_a_jedi]

That sounds interesting. Honestly, no one bothers with fully immersive simulations where I'm from either. No matter what you do, you'd never get a believable resolution from projected light.

So yeah, it seems like you've actually been brought here.

[akihisaful]

Hmm, is that how it is? I'm not a wizard at technology, so most of what the teachers and developers do at school is over my head.

So it's not some virtual reality or a dream...

[echo_of_a_jedi]

If it makes you feel better, I don't know exactly how I got here either. Last thing I remember, I was on a spaceship.

[akihisaful]

You were on a spaceship!? Are you some kind of astronaut or something?

Whoa, this place is getting stranger by the minute!

[echo_of_a_jedi]

I guess you could say that. I travel between star systems all the time.

[akihisaful]

Star systems!? I've only heard things like that in Sci-Fi stories!

This is amazing! So are there planets with people with weird shark faces, or the Grey aliens?!

[He's looking very excited about all this.]

[echo_of_a_jedi]

There are gray aliens, yes. Or aliens that are mostly gray, anyway. I haven't met any sharks, but Quarrens' heads are noticeably similar to squid, I guess.

[akihisaful]

Oh man, squid-heads!? That's pretty awesome! Do they... squirt ink out, too?

[echo_of_a_jedi]

...

Hm.

You know, I never asked.
