EDIT: Backdated to before The Hermit.

[The feed turns on to show Syd, not happy. There's a lot she could complain about right now, but it's best to get straight to the point.]

Okay, can someone tell me what's going on? Or at least where I am? That weird moon was more than a little freaky, and those coffins in the middle of the road? They're a real downer. At least naked people make better statues. If this is another planet, I'd at least like to know, thanks.

Not exactly another planet. But close. I've been told this place is called Prospero.

[ Have a huge square jawed fellow looking bemusedly at you, Syd. ]

You are on Earth. And... welcome to the war.

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

War? What war?

[Video]

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

Prospero? Okay. If we're still on Earth then where exactly is this?

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Just off the coast of the eastern United States. If you don't recognize it, don't fret. I hadn't heard of it either.

The war against the monsters that stalk those of us who -aren't- in the coffins. I've heard some call them shadows, I call them beasts of the Warp.

Depends from which planet you hail. [ She has a quiet voice that sounds kind of feminine, but with an appearance of a teen boy. ] Regardless, it is dangerous at night. If you do not possess any fighting skills, then I shall offer you protection.

I used to be a fencer, and I've had hand to hand training. I can fight. [She sighs.] But I don't know much about the enemies here. With my luck, that's not effective at all.

[ex_cashcow493]

Good, you have some experience. That is better than none at all. Have you any allies in this place?

[Video]

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

I'm just... no, I'm not surprised I haven't heard of it. Geography's not my thing. But with what's going on... can you tell me what year this is?

[video]

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

[Sigh.] Shadows works for me. Why... what do the coffins mean?

[video]

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

I just got here, so I'm going to go with no.

[video]

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

I can't say. No one has explained them properly to me yet.

[ex_cashcow493]

Some of us have been [ A brief pause. ] fortunate [ Hardly in Saber's case. ] to have people from the same realm join us in this place.

[video]

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

Oh. Well, in that case, I haven't seen anyone else I know. I think it's just me. [Sigh.] I guess that means no allies.

If you're looking for answers, you're going to have a hard time finding them. I already tried that when I got here. Some of these people who showed up like us have been here for more than a month and still don't have a clue.

[He smiles a bit.]

My brilliant powers of deduction aren't working too well either, seeing as most of the citizens don't realize what's going on. I'm pretty sure you could leave if you tried, but I'm staying just because I'm curious. If someone went through so much trouble to bring us here, it'd be rude to just leave.

The least they could do is tell us why we're here. Whatever's going on isdangerous. It... that's how it felt out there. I'd be glad to get out of here, but trying to find a way to at least stop this from spreading is pretty important too.

[preferstobegin.livejournal.com]

It's pretty dangerous, but I haven't seen anything I can't handle. That doesn't mean it won't get worse, but at least we're still in the clear for now. I'd offer you more information, but you probably already know about as much as the rest of us do.

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

Yeah, if everyone else knows next to nothing. This place just gets better and better. At least it doesn't seem like we're in Horrorland during the day.

[preferstobegin.livejournal.com]

If it's any consolation, the food here isn't too bad. It's been awhile since I've been in the states and I sort of missed it.

I haven't noticed any connection between what happens at night and any signs it shows during the day, but I'm still waiting for something to surprise me. The last thing that needs to happen is actually getting these people involved in it. Unless they already know about it and they're just really good at hiding it. Then I'd be worried.

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

[At the mention of food, she pokes her figure. Syd's got a figure to keep up!]

That was like... I don't know, being in a completely different place. I don't know how they wouldn't know about it. On the other hand that would make the whole town the best actors ever, and that's just too weird. None of this makes sense.

2011 last I checked. I'm a little curious as to why you would ask.

[naildelay.livejournal.com]

[Debate, debate, she may as well tell her.]

I'm from 2025. I was trying to think of what in my time could have caused this.

[crazyoldbat.livejournal.com]

Oh? Well, well. This must be a shock.

From what I've gathered this may well have nothing to do with something in your world. It looks like a product of some power in this one.
