[At this, Rei finally snaps her mouth shut, chews, and swallows. She smiles brightly once this is done.]

It's delicious! And is it true that you can just summon this stuff with magic?

[crymoore]

I can trust someone less who disposes of innocent bystanders.

[ Jaina, they were going to despawn regardless. ] Have you a name?

[malarky]

Yes thats the game i mean as it happens or at least that was the game i thought i was playing and to be frank im not sure what the devil fucking dickens is going on here if that was not entirely obvious.

Oh god damnit of course theres an overabundance of striders. It would be entirely silly of me to expect to find one strider instead of a thousand bloody doppelgangers and doppelglasses some of whom apparently are figments of my imagination that arent entirely imaginary or some rubbish because of hope or page powers. This is really outside of enough! I almost wouldnt mind if i could just talk to the insufferable original but apparently thats not in the cards.

David lalonde? Hrm well ive never heard roxy mention the name before but perhaps hes another relative of hers!

Okay dont die too much i think i can swing that! By the way the decor here is rather fun isnt it? I almost feel like im raiding a tomb although of course ive not had the chance to do that very often so i might be assuming a little too much there but anyway its very thrilling!
Im jake english by the by. Whom do i have the pleasure of conversing with if i might be so bold as to ask?

[crymoore]

Yes, I have been doing it for as long as I can remember.

[ Jaina pls, you're not that old. ]

Years, I suppose. It is one of the very basic arcane skills a mage is taught.

[fantasy_heaven]

It's Reimu. Do you?

[crymoore]

Jaina Proudmoore. [ Don't mistake the name for an ego or anything. ]

Reimu? I have never heard of a name like that before. Lordaeron?

[chronomancer]

yeah no
youre not playin the game anymore
youvve been kidnapped an supposedly the wworld ended-Ended not just sgrub ended
an noww youre gonna be experimented on an kind a tortured because thats how things roll around here
yeah

wwait
wwhat
doppelgangers an doppelglasses?
those are a thing wwhere youre from? shit
wwe havve a lot a striders here but they are all their owwn person
they just come from alternate unniverse
an i think theyre all time players because apparently striders are univversally fucked by the game that wway

more like alternate univverse vversion a relativve
maybe

i dont... knoww?
i mean some floors are okay i guess, like the movvie floor an the meadow an stuff
but some are kinda shitty or outright horrible

ah
uh
hi
im eridan ampora

[fantasy_heaven]

[It's OK, Reimu already has plenty of reasons to judge you, ProudBUTT.]

Gensokyo.

[terreifying]

You mean all "mages" can make their own food out of thin air?

[A pause.]

I WANNA BE A MAGE!

[malarky]

Well that sounds incredibly unpleasant to be perfectly frank! Although since ive already been told our world ends in several ways i suppose this was already meant to be although perhaps not in the way in which it is currently in the process of being? Also im not entirely certain how i feel about being experimented on and tortured but i expect i can deal with it as any adventuring chap worth his salt has to be willing to take a few punches here and there and sometimes those punches will be from fists of steel and rather uncomfortable and theres no helping it. Is there any sort of resistance in the works if i might be so bold as to ask?

Yes those are both things but theyre only things when it comes to dirk strider unless one of my other chums has gotten it into their heads to start duplicating themselves needlessly which i suppose is possible but seems quite unlikely. And i dont think ive ever met an alternate universe strider but i suppose on my bingo card of "lets talk to every strider but dirk friggin strider" this was bound to pop up sooner or later so ill probably talk to every single one of them while they make vague comments about the actions and wherabouts of the original because thats how this sort of thing tends to play out. Hrm i dont *THINK* dirk is a time player but to be honest i never paid all that much attention to the class nonsense since i figured i would pick it up as we went!

Pardon me but this movie floor does it perhaps have movies? And i rather like the theme in general it just feels very adventurous! Like at any second ill be in scrums with one monster or another! Although admittedly that feels rather homelike so perhaps thats why i feel so at ease.

Hello eridan ampora its aces to meet you! I must say youre really quite a helpful chap and i very much appreciate it!

[bitemyapple]

You'd probably wonder the same for everyone else, in that case.

[chronomancer]

i guess?
maybe?
i havvent really Had The Time heh to wworry about that
but i guess its likely?

wwell if it helps
the striders i knoww are jade wwhose also from my wworld an my moirail
an davve wwhose i think from the alpha timeline so he might actually be related to your friend?
an rose wwhose the least stridery a all the striders but she likes awwesome movvies so i guess shes alright
an bro strider wwho talks about wweird shit like kokoros an shit an i dont knoww he kind a makes my head hurt a little
an the orange strider wwhose name i nevver really learned i think

yeah
theres a fuckton a movvies there but i guess most a them suck or at least i dont knoww howw to pick them
because nearly all the human ones that ivve wwatched havve been terrible
wwell
you might in fact get jumped by a monster evvery noww an then
to be honest this place is like a real life horror movvie except wwithout the an then they escaped an livved happily evver after endin
here it just keeps goin

oh
i
er
youre wwelcome

[malarky]

Oh moirail that sounds familiar - is that one of those troll romance things? The fake british alien has explained them to me once or twice but to be honest i get the quadrants mixed up all the time and its not like im really an expert on romance in any species.

Well youre in luck eridan! I happen to be a movie maverick and know a bunch of flicks you should see immediately starting with weekend at bernies which is a misunderstood masterpiece and not at all mediocre regardless of what anyone else might tell you and then also the sbahj movies of course!

I get jumped by things all the time so thats really not any great concern. Unfortunately my home is rather infested by sadly real monsters and also by a brobot locked into stalking mode which is pretty much exactly what it sounds like except without any suggestive connotations as all that happens after the stalking is me getting my ass handed to me although i hold out hope of besting my metal comrade sooner or later!

Er although i suppose id have to get dirk to fix him first since the robot broke itself for some inscrutable reason.

[chronomancer]

fake british alien?
but yeah
its okay most humans dont really get it

huh
this is the second time someone tells me to wwatch the sbahj movvies so i guess wwe can look for them an see if theyre here?
if you wwant?
i think wwatchin human movvies picked by an actual human might wwork out better for me
givven wwhat the results a my owwn attempts havve been

oh
that sounds rough

not if jake picks the movies for you :(

[malarky]

Absolutely my good alien friend! I am always up for a movie marathon and actually ive never had the opportunity to have someone else watch with me so this is quite thrilling really! And no worries my taste in films is excellent ive been on a roll with all my picks for quite some time now!

Oh not really you know that sort of obstacle is nothing for a gentleman with a sense of adventure and also pistols! Fisticuffs are always rousing regardless of the outcome dont you agree?

Nothing is worse than The Room.

[chronomancer]

its kinda fun actually
wwatchin movvies wwith people
i nevver really had many people to wwatch movvies wwith either
back home
but i guess thats one a the vvery feww nice things about this place

uh
wwell
i like to shoot things?

[malarky]

Did you live alone at home as well then? My word that does seem to be something of a trend with folks i know aside from janey of course although she seems to be the exception rather than the rule!

Me too! Why i am quite fond of firearms! My weapons of choice are m9 berettas but of course i am open to all weapons of the gunly persuasion. Are you into pistols as well or do you favour rifles or some other sort of firearm? None of my chums use firearms as their main weaponry which i must say is somewhat disappointing so this is very exciting!!

[chronomancer]

yeah
you dont
really get many vvisitors wwhen you livve in the middle a desert crawwlin wwith zombies an shit that wwants to kill ya
i dont knoww about my friends though
i didnt really knoww most a them vvery wwell
before wwe played the game

oh wwoww really?
i use rifles actually
wwell, rifles for long range an shovvels for short range but if i can havve it my wway i alwways keep my distance
habit you knoww
from the zombie huntin thing you dont wwant those fuckers closin in on you
i tried guns but i dont like the shoulder recoil vversus the potency a the shot
plus again i prefer to snipe things if i can?
totally cant do wwith a gun, not properly anywway
i mean
i probably could by noww but its just not the same thing
theres somethin vvery comfortin about a rifles wweight in yer hand
an wwhen youvve got limited ammo an concerns about replenishin it i think rifles provve themselvves much more effectivve than straight guns
theres also the customization aspect wwhich i think its more flexible wwith a rifle than wwith a gun
or anythin else really
oh man i had so much fuckin fun customizin shit in the game
because theres nothin better than riflemakin wwhen youre not constrained by common sense
comes to bite ya in the ass wwhen you accidentally alchemize the best possible scope evver on a fuckin shotgun
but hey
its a good convversation piece
goes an provves my theory that the univverse hates me but by that point there really wwasnt any need for it
i guess if youre into advventurin an running around guns wwould be more comfortable?
i mean i run around a lot myself but wwhen it comes to fights i like to stand back an shoot some fucker dead
an maybe awward myself some points dependin wwhat part im shootin?
ivve nevver gotten jade to Get It you knoww?
she just sort a shoot until the thing stops movvin but
theres a fuckin art behind all this
you knoww wwhat i mean?

Monsters

[mindovermatter]

[Jace claps, that was a pretty impressive display of magic right there. Though, he certainly gets that feeling that he'll need to display his talents soon enough. He spots a few more monsters coming this way, from further down.]

That was impressive, but it looks like we've got more company!

[septette]

[KANYESHRUG]

This place has its own pocket of time.

[wittlich]

[WOW RUDE HE SHOULD TOTALLY FEEL SO--no i can't even type that with a straight face]

Then what do you plan to do? Take them down by yourself?

Re: /it's perfectly fine. Let the chaos commence

[neverbeamemory]

[He knows this guy, but he doesn't. Sure looks like Reno as far as his patchy memories of the red-headed Turk go]

[What he talks about is just further confusing. What ruins? Did he mean Midgar - he hasn't been wandering anywhere recently, except this place that he's found himself. And Zack; there's a name with an even foggier memory. Sephiroth shakes his head; there's too much going on right now to ponder on that as well. Watching Reno lean back on his chair, aware of how easily he could fall back off it, almost willing him to do so.]

So they saved you too. Hmph.

/talk about out of the frying pan....

[neverbeamemory]

[Large sword well noted. He could have a large sword too if he wanted to. Nutrition bar though, well oatmeal is good for you too. But he cannot stand the hot feelings of hatred stirred simply by being in close proximity to this one.]

[Sephiroth stands, in order to put himself where he should be in terms of height difference. This must be some sort of test, there is no way Cloud could be here. In a place where he's supposed to be 'saved' to. The two ideas were oxymoronic.]

"I haven't been anywhere."

[commandolancer]

Beginning to wish my thought of this all being some kind of joke they pulled on to be true.

Oh no, it's not like me to return a favor like this! I'll have to insist if they refuse.

/yup, although dear Cloud is post-ACC...

[atouchofstrife]

[ He just sort of looks up as Sephiroth stood up, his expression going from guarded to frowny. There was little fear in him; at his count, he had faced this terror enough times to find all the games a little childish. ]

You were here for a short time.

[ A shrug, and he finished off the nutrition bar. There might not be that much food, but a SOLDIER had to keep up their energy. Even imposter ones like Cloud. ]

Or don't you remember?
