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.

Can't hurt. Maybe if I retrace my steps I can actually find a street sign.

[ghost_shield]

Right, let's see...

*He pulls up a map.*

Okay, where's your housing assignment again?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Pisces.

[ghost_shield]

Okay, let's see... Hmm. Based on what I'm reading about the districts, you sound like you're in Taurus... Have you crossed a river at all?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yeah.

[ghost_shield]

Phew. Boy howdy, you're WAY off. Cross back, and then you have to go all the way through the Aries district.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Awesome. Great. This is how I wanted to spend my day.

Okay, let's see...I think the river is that way...

[Off he goes. Not hanging up, though, as he still needs those directions.]

[ghost_shield]

So, uh, as long as we're telecommunicating... name's Nick. Nicholas Reeve, but usually just Nick. You?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Oh right, sorry. This lost thing has got me all messed up. I'm Duo.

[ghost_shield]

Nice to meet you, Duo. Might've been better under less, uh, awkward circumstances, but I guess we can't really be choosy about this sort of thing. Speaking of, where are you about now?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Uh...

[Glancing around.]

Under the "Inn of the Red Cat."

Wow, I didn't think bending like that was physically possible.

[ghost_shield]

M-maybe you should keep going now.

[T...too much information!]

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yeah yeah.

[But he does.]

Okay there's the river. Finally.

[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?

[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.

[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]

*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.*

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

They can go plooey? Does that happen often?

[ghost_shield]

Where I come from. I wouldn't worry too much about it. The ones we got are still probably a drop in the bucket compared to the size of the multiverse.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

As long as I have a home to go back to when I get out of here.
