[Action - Early Evening]

[It is a lovely evening in Prospero tonight, isn't it? The stars are shining, the night air is cool, and oh my what's that up in the night sky. It almost looks like something is falling towards the ground very, very quickly and

THUD.

welp. It looks like some poor Kid fell out of the sky and faceplanted right in the middle of an alley. Stranger still, he gets up like nothing happened at all. Frankly, he looks more confused about his surroundings than falling out of the sky, since that wasn't at all unusual for where he was from. He'd start to wander around the city streets like a lost puppy, occasionally stopping to stare at the strange buildings and people around him. You may also notice a slight stumble in his step and lots of bruises on him.]

[Video - An Hour Later]

[The screen turns on, but looks a little bit blurry. If you squint, it looks like someone's shaking the device and hitting it against something, creating a nicely irritating audio feedback as well. That is, incredibly loud ringing and thud noises. Finally, he'd stop and the picture would clear up, revealing the Kid's face looking at the screen in obvious confusion, befuddled by this newfangled gadget. When he realizes some faces are staring back at him, his expression turns from confusion to slight embarrassment.

He'll just

wave at the camera a little bit.]

Comments

I hope you know I'm reading the action brackets in Rucks' voice. [ACTION]

[watermelonsword]

[and Cirno makes a wish on what she thinks is a shooting star.... except that shooting star is a kid falling from the sky. When she hears the thud, she goes rushing in the source of the noise, hoping that her wish of a million popsicles was granted. She's... disappointed to find a kid there in his stead. And she goes to the most logical conclusion! She's mad.]

YOU ATE ALL MY POPSICLES!

You can't really imagine much else after that. Also, I derped on the reply. @_@ Sorry

[thanklesswork]

[The Kid just looks at the girl accusing him of eating...popsicles? That just don't seem right. He falls off the Bastion and lands who-knows-where and now someone is calling him a thief. He raises both of his arms a little defensively.]

I...did? Um, sorry? [He's trying to use manners. He never quite took those lessons to heart and it shows.]

It's okay lol.

[watermelonsword]

I wished on a falling star and I wished for popsicles and I heard something hit the ground! I immediately thought it was my wish and it came true and I came running and instead you were there so that means you ate them!

[and she's sniffling a little]

[thanklesswork]

[Her story made about as much sense as a Windbag trying to tapdance. Still, he felt a little bad now that she looked like she was about to cry.]

It's, uh...it's alright. I probably just fell off a big floating island somewhere. Your...popsicles are probably somewhere else. [Speak of...]

Did you happen to see a big floating island, too?

[Video] Man I need to play Bastion

[namedforcat]

You look a little banged up, are you alright?

[Video] It is a good game

[thanklesswork]

[Oh hey the tiny people in the gadget are talking to him. He just shrugs in response to his injuries.]

Where am I? Where's the Bastion? [Because that's more important than nearly breaking a few bones from the drop.]

[Video] Is it just on the 360?

[namedforcat]

I'm afraid you're now stuck in a city called 'Prospero', far away from the Bastion that you're looking for. We're all in the same boat.

[Video] Nope, it's on Steam, too.

[thanklesswork]

Oh. [He's in momentary disbelief, but The Calamity already murdered any possible skepticism he might've had. Plus, you know, nearly the entire living population of his world.]

...what is this thing, anyways? Are you trapped inside it?

[Video]

[ridertothemoon]

[Astolfo waves back.] Good evening.

[Video]

[thanklesswork]

Evenin'.

This place is weird. [He'll just shake the device a little to make sure he's not seeing things. Like people in tiny boxes.]

[Video]

[ridertothemoon]

That much is certainly true. What else would you like to know?

[Video]

[thanklesswork]

[Actually, there is something he wants to know. Maybe hearing it from a few more people would help make more sense of things.]

Where is this place? Like...where in the world?

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

Hello.

[video]

[thanklesswork]

Howdy.

[video]

[breatheinthefog]

You're new.

[video]

[thanklesswork]

That's right.

video; - the narrator is saying smooth sweet things in my head now ♥

[kitsunemimi]

[ Waves back!!! ]

[Video] - The brackets always mean Rucks' voice. ALWAYS.

[thanklesswork]

...huh. [So many girls are giving him attention from this thing. He's not sure how he feels about that, but he'll TRY using manners.

Pffft.]

Um...seen a big, floating, green patch of land up in the sky tonight?

[kitsunemimi]

A big floating green patch of land up in the sky?

[ small pause ]

I'm truly terribly sorry, but I did not!

Video

[sandma]

Not used to this sort of technology, dear?

Video

[thanklesswork]

[Darn. He was hoping for another cute one, not someone that far out of his age. Oh, well. She seemed nice and reasonable.]

No, ma'am. Not sure why it was in my pocket where my gun should've been, either. [He's still sore about the whole 'my bff hammer is gone' thing. Oh and his pistols too, he supposes.]

[sandma]

Consider it one of the few gift's this place will give. As you can tell, it's a necessity for staying in contact around here.

Your weapons will have to be re-bought. There's a shop on the other side of town that sells guns.

[needsteaplz]

Oh another new comer. Welcome to Prospero. A bit of advice, don't try to break your phone, please. It's very handy to have on you.

[video] It is the best party

[thanklesswork]

Thanks. I guess.

That's what you call it?

[video] i'm sorry i'm so late with this.

[needsteaplz]

That's right. It's a communication device which allows you to post with videos, voice recordings or text.

So, how much have you been told about Prospero? That way I won't slow you down by repeating things. Oh and my name's Saori Nakagawa.
