First Video

[The video is side ways, and the women shown in it is peering down into the camera as if it might jump out and eat her.]

Is this blasted thing even on? What's it doing? I think it's doing something.

[She turns, screen careening to the sky.]

You. You there! Would you help me work this contraption? Better yet, tell me where on God's green earth I am?

[There's a boy's voice answering her for a second, and then the sound of someone running off after a short, rather primal shout.]

Where in the hell is Prospero? I bet one of those little brats did this. Just wait until I get back there. I'll have them in detention until they have kids.

[The video is now mostly obscured by dark, checker print cloth. She's holding the device to her hip.]

Honestly, how rude can those kids be to a little old lady?

Just under a half an hour ago, in fact.

[She's suddenly acting affronted.]

Of course. What did you think they'd appear out of thin air?

Tch, of course not.

[He still looks disgruntled. He was made in a laboratory, thank you very much.]

I take it you've never been around metas, boy?

Not at all. The process is rather standardized at this point, actually.

The Imperial Astartes have existed for over 200 years as the Emperor's Sword.

...Not a boy. And I haven't heard that term before today, if that's what you mean.

[He's not sure people with Innocence, or people with Personas, or clones like him count as "meta".]

[Or his eye scar.]

The maps here said otherwise.

Tatsuma Hiyuu.

I am Ingrid Barnes. I don't recognize your name, young man.

Oh? I apologize. Young lady then.

Well, then you're in luck to have meet one today.

...I'm a man, thank you.

[Alright, he was just asking for that.]

Tch. What does a "meta" do? I know people with "powers". But it sounds different from what you're suggesting.

[Scars? Pfft. Clearly the hair is a more pressing issue for her.]

Islands don't just pop up like that. Have I jumped forward in time or some sort of nonsense like that?

I'm afraid that sounds like a horrible life to me. Where I'm from such a process being standardized is the worst fear of our people.

[She starts to smile.] How old are you?

Meta. A prefix that can mean 'beyond'. Meta-humans are those born with powers, some of which could include telepathy, the ability to see the future or transporting.

Nineteen. Has nothing to do with age, though.

[His is the annoyed and weary face of a soldier, honey. He hasn't been a boy since he was born.]

...Yeah. Then I know some metas, and would rather them in particular drop dead.

[It sounds like the Noahs fit squarely into that category.]

I hope your students aren't trying to annihilate mankind.

It's possible. I was from the past when I found myself here.

Sorry, son. That still qualifies as a boy to me.

[Ingrid is horribly ageist. If you haven't hit your fifties, chances are she'll still use kiddie terms.]

No. They're trying to stay away from people who'd rather have them dead. Metas are no different from other humans. Some of us take a bad path in life, but most of us are just trying to survive.

Whatever. I ain't your son.

[Then he'll gripe forever, but whatever.]

Then we don't have a problem. My comrades are not better off that way.

[Sigh]

You've been transported too? How long have you been here?

That much is obvious.

[She's used to griping.]

We wouldn't have a problem either way. I may be old, but I wouldn't take lightly to a threat.

Yeah, and I bet most of your meta powers got sealed when you came here. Happened to everyone else here.

[He isn't threatening her, just being a brat.]

...For almost a month.

[He's been here for that long already?]

[She looks confused a moment and starts snapping her fingers. Nothing happens. After several tries she stops to stares at her hands.]

The hell? Who could do something like this?

Tch. Wish I knew.

[Yeah.]

Hotel's got free room and board for those that got yanked here, though, so it's probably some bigshot.

Someone rich and with great power. Perfect. This day is just getting so much better.

At least we're not left to the streets.

That long and no one's found a way to fix this?
