Lost

[Video. The kid on the screen seems to have a red tint to him. He must be in some kind of district that has lots of red lights in it.]

Okay so, this isn't how I meant to make my first impression. I might try again later.

They explained everything about magic monsters and extra hours of the day and all kinds of unbelievable stuff, but the most unbelievable thing I got was the directions to my new apartment. I have no idea where I am, and I'm really getting the feeling it's not somewhere I want to be.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yeah. In some big apartment complex.

[ghost_shield]

Right. Well, keep a lookout for signs for Aries. You'll have to pass through that first. I think there's some sort of train system, but I don't really know exactly how the lines are laid out yet.

So, come from an interesting place?

[not_that_sasuke]

Pisces is where my room is, too. We might as well try to find it together.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Well it's hard to say, you know? I could say "I live in a crystal palace on the moon" and find out that you have entire neighborhoods of crystal moon palaces.

I guess I've been through some pretty interesting stuff, though.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Sure, why not? I'm Duo.

[Handshake: ENGAGE?]

[not_that_sasuke]

Sasuke.

[Handshake exchanged!] Shall we get moving?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yup.

[There are lots of distractions to a teenage boy in the Taurus district, but that doesn't mean conversation doesn't happen.]

So the handcuffs. For real, this time. I've gotta know.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Sasuke manages to keep pretty focused. Sometimes the training he's had comes in handy.]

I wasn't lying about it, you know.

[second_destiny]

...Do I want to know where the red lights are coming from?

[video]

[sky_child]

You're, um. In Taurus. I think you want to go to Libra or Pisces... What's your apartment number?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

I guess an in depth answer wouldn't really mean anything to me. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this multiple dimensions thing; I'm probably lucky everyone here seems human.

...You're human, right?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Hookers. Tons of them, all over the place.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

808, Pisces. I just got hella turned around somewhere.

[second_destiny]

...Right.

[He suspected as much.]

You should, um...keep moving. Yeah. You don't want to stay there.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

No crap I don't want to stay here.

[second_destiny]

Have you seen any metro stations?

[ghost_shield]

Fair enough, I guess. Though I'd say the whole Persona and... demon thing is weird enough.

*...why did he hesitate at demon?*

I'd say the same for myself, I suppose.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yeah, but I've felt like the apartments should be just around the corner for the last ten blocks, so I was ignoring them.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

*Everyone has their secrets.*

Helped end a war that would have ended with a giant space colony crashing into the Earth and wiping out everything down there. You?

[ghost_shield]

Live in a world that constantly gets refugees from other worlds that go plooey, really.

*Also talks to ghosts, but he doesn't trust you to not call him a loon yet.*

[second_destiny]

It's a lot easier to use the tram, trust me. Especially since you're lost.

[sky_child]

[ Obviously. ]

I think you should get out of Taurus first.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

They can go plooey? Does that happen often?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Well at least I got to see a bunch of the city this way.

Maybe not the parts of it I would normally visit, but still.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

No kidding. I don't think it's legal for me to be looking at some of this stuff.
