[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

[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...]

[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.

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

[crouching_sin]

[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]

[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.

[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.

Re: [Video]

[heavenscorpse]

Something massive was killed there and the blood stayed.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[... Now that sounds interesting.]

A monster? A god?

[crouching_sin]

It seems so.

[...]

Do you have any information you can give me?

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

Different times...

[... That could be trouble.]

When is it for you?

[heavenscorpse]

The will of a planet.

It's almost the end of summer holidays for me.

[He was at home, playing around on the Internet. Blissfully ignorant on what's going to happen in his 'near future' back home.]

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[If he answered in that way...]

I see.

[Ugh. This is going to be a giant headache.]

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

[... Not. The answer he was expecting.]

Heh. Whomever killed it must be very powerful indeed.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

And what about you? When is it for you?

[Oh, c'mon, you should expect that question.]

[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.

[Video]

[lunch_ticket_millionaire]

It's in the United States.

[heavenscorpse]

It's very hard to kill planets, or the strongest beings from them - some people call that interchangeable, but I'm getting off the point. They were very powerful.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

About... two or so weeks later, I think.

[Video]

[crouching_sin]

That sounds like quite the story. Perhaps I'll have to hear the full version from you sometime.

My name is Naoya.

[heavenscorpse]

I'm V/V. Nice to meet you.
