[There's a brief pause, and then the man on the screen - white hair, red eyes, total smirk and ease at his surroundings - starts talking. His tone is calm, as if this happens every day.]

Well. This isn't where I just was. For one, the sky is… normal, again.

[Ah, but that's no matter. What is important, however…]

Based on the limited information I've found this place is called… Prospero, correct? Not the name I would choose for an island, but I suppose it's not mine to name.

… And if anyone has any information on exactly where Prospero is, it would be appreciated.

1/3 i think

[babel_hacker]

[By now, Atsuro generally have his phone on and connected to the network next to him every time he's working on the laptop.

He'd get news and reports from the other people, along with the odd new arrival asking questions.

Only...]

[babel_hacker]

[He stop typing and stare at his phone. He knows that voice. Atsuro's been here for half a year (so long...), but he'd never forget this man's voice.

Is this real? Or another trick?

The island's cruel enough to bring him here, and then sent him away when his Shadow's out and emotionally vulnerable.

[Hiding away his current, mixed feelings, Atsuro let his cheery, happy ones show instead as he turn on the video feed on his end.]

Hey, Naoya! Prospero's an island city off the eastern coast of the United States.

[Oh? Well, he can't say that he's too surprised.]

I see. And is there a reason why I don't remember how I got here?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

No one here really knows how we got here. Who or what's responsible is pretty powerful to bring people from different time and places. They also ignore whether you're dead or alive, so people that might be dead back home are now alive here.

[heavenscorpse]

What happened to your sky? I noticed that first too.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

It's currently very red. A side-effect of taking down that barrier, but still.

[Video]

[heavenscorpse]

The sky at home is red with blood, but you can't see it because there are so many clouds.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

Oh? And how did blood get into the sky?

[breatheinthefog]

Somebody new. Hello.

[crouching_sin]

It seems so.

[...]

Do you have any information you can give me?

[breatheinthefog]

Watch out when the sky turns green. You'll be able to fight, but you'll need to awaken. I'll only tell you more if you're going to believe it, because too many people waste time not believing.

Also, there's a place called a hotel where the new arrivals are expected to live. It has furniture and food.

[crouching_sin]

Awaken? Awaken to what? And there's much I could tell you that you might not believe, so you might as well tell me.

[... Free? Hm.]

How... gracious.

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

It's in the United States.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

... I was just in Japan. Do you have any idea how this is possible?

[Video]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

It's definitely either magic or science.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

Or possibly both.

[caliberill]

What do you mean by normal? [LATE but this question is important to him, okay?]

I can tell this is the start of a beautiful trolling relationship.

[crouching_sin]

Not red.

[As if it's obvious.]

... sob.

[caliberill]

[MUST. RESIST. URGE TO BE DEFEATED.]

Why was it red where you're from?

He will taunt you forever. :D

[crouching_sin]

Because the barrier between the worlds was down.

[socializing]

We're somewhere in America.

[crouching_sin]

Do you know where, though?

video;

[socializing]

An island, somewhere along America's east coast.

[ A beat ]

The sky is normal now, but after midnight it becomes strange.

[crouching_sin]

Strange? Strange how?
