first adversity | video/action.
[Do you guys enjoy these things turning on randomly? Well, have another feed.
It turns on but the sight is rather dark, to dark to figure out. There's a small groan for a moment and the screen turns, and it appears that the phone is on its side. Its in an alley somewhere, but that's not the weird part.
Its the guy covered in blood that's bracing himself against the wall. He's in the corner of the screen, struggling it seems, wherever it is. It looks like he's covered in snow too, but the red is sticking out because of it. Holding his abdomen, there's a grimace as he walks past the phone. LUCKY HIM. What's life done to screw him over now? ]
What the hell's... [Ready for this? One step, two steps... Three steps... Floor.
The feed cuts out.]

[Action]
H-hey! Hang in there!
[She spots the phone and there's no mistake, its the same phone everyone who's been brought here is given. She pockets the phone and turns her attention back to the guy. Well, she hasn't tried summoning her Persona before the Dark Hour but it's worth a shot.]
Hope this works. Dia!
[Her Persona is summoned and she's able to at least get whatever wounds were still bleeding to close.]
Hey, can you hear me?
no subject
There's a flood of relief for him suddenly. His eyes widen suddenly and he gasps, trying to figure out why and what just happened, but.. Wait. A lady?]
Uh... Where am I-- what did you do?
no subject
Basically I healed you enough to stop any more bleeding. I'll go into more details about it once we get you indoors and patched up some more. You're in Prospero now, far from your home world.
[She looks up at her surroundings. Thankfully they're close by the hotel because chances are a woman her size can't carry a guy by herself across town.]
Think you can walk a bit? There's a place nearby where we can patch you up.
no subject
Yeah, definitely.. And... what's Prospero?
no subject
[Saori immediately puts one of his arms around her shoulder to help him up.]
Again, I'll explain when we get you cleaned up. It's a lot to take in at one time, trust me. Prospero's an island off the eastern coast of the United States. It's a nexus of sorts where people from different worlds arrive here.
What's your name?
no subject
America? [Long way from where he remembers being. And nexus? He's trying to put together questions as he goes off of her words.] You don't... know who I am, do you? Or anyone named Lazarevic, right?
no subject
I'm afraid that name don't sound familiar. My name is Saori Nakagawa. Alright, I'm going to use a stronger healing spell now . Diarama.
[She closes her eyes and her Persona appears behind her. He should be feeling the effects soon.]
It's alright. That was my Persona, a summoning magic of sorts that's let me use magic. How are you are feeling now?
no subject
[Well, this is going to mentally scar him. He's pretty sure he's not dreaming by now, so that option's out the window. Sorry, Saori. Hope you don't mind the staring.]
I'm... okay. You said... Magic?
no subject
Yeah. Everyone who has been brought here is given the ability to summon a Persona. With them we can use different magic and skills. Ah, looks like we made it.
[They make their way into the hotel lobby, where she carefully sits him down on the closest couch. Luckily she won't have to travel far to get supplies with her room in the first floor.]
Wait here and I'll go get some towels.
no subject
[He's more than skeptical as she puts him down; he sits and leans back, looking over to her with his brows furrowed.] I don't have much choice in this, take your time.
no subject
Trust me, yours will awaken when it wants to. You're going to need it eventually. At midnight every night, the whole island goes into what we call the Dark Hour. While the normal citizens are unaware of this event, the rest of us are open game to these things called Shadows. Even though you can use regular weapons on them, an attack using a Persona is more effective.
[She also pulls out the phone she pocketed earlier.]
This is your new phone. Everyone who's been brought here is given one and has people listed in their contacts list.
no subject
Thanks.. [Alright; Dark Hour? Bad. Persona? Good, he thinks. Shadows? Also bad. Persona attack on shadow? Very good. A nod and he watches her, still trying to make sense of everything when the phone is pulled out.] Works just like a normal phone then, right...?
no subject
[She hands the phone over to him.]
I've told you all the basic stuff you need to know. The Shadows only come out at midnight, so you're free to do whatever you like in the mean time. This hotel is where majority of us live. Don't worry, they don't charge anything for a room.
Also if you ever want something to eat, feel free to give me a call. I don't believe you've told me your name though.
no subject
I'll probably find an empty room around here. Might as well make the most of it. [A pause.] Is there a way to get back home, or wherever we came from?
