[The feed opens to a slender, white haired man appearing in his early 30s sitting on a couch. He's clearly already taken up residence in one of the hotel rooms offered for the time, and was finishing taking a sip from a glass of water that he now sets down. He looking into the communicator, unbothered and confident, before speaking.]

In most cases, such a disruption as this would be a cause of great annoyance, but for the time I suppose such might be tolerated. Even if he is passionate about his work, a director must spend some time away from the stage. I am expecting, of course, that this vacation, as we might call it, should at least prove interesting.

To those of you who were also brought here, greetings. I am known as Wilhelm. I've been observing a few of the other communications made open over the device, and have the basic gist of where I am: a town named Prospero, located in the United States during the early part of the 21st century. I am, however, still curious as to why, or at least as to how much you all might know as to why we're here.

I have a feeling whoever our hosts are, they have not been altogether forthcoming with their reasons.

So we might leave this place?

[He's slightly surprised. If the captors had gone through the trouble of bringing them to this specific town, he'd have thought they'd have come up with ways to keep them there. Although, if the problem turns out to extend beyond the boundaries of the town as well....]

A pleasure to meet you, then.

You're saying it's not "your" Tokyo. What differentiates it from your Tokyo?

I've called back there. The people there... I can't get a hold of them. Maybe someone's trying here to prevent me from reaching them, but I could go check if I could afford the trip back to Japan. But considering last time I checked, my world didn't have Personas and the Dark Hour or people from myths who just all hang out together, I seriously doubt that's my home now.

Or you simply didn't know they existed. It could be contained to this one area.

Though, that none of the people you know back home are here should suffice as evidence it isn't your world.

For all I know, some weird supernatural thing is keeping me from doing it. Who knows, with this place.

And yet in part, such uncertainty makes it exciting, does it not?

[genius-idiot.livejournal.com]

... Maybe. Gotta admit, having a clean slate, a fresh start... It's freeing, in a way. Even if I've got no where to go, now.

Perhaps not at the moment.

But soon enough you'll realize you have everywhere to go. You just need to realize which course it is you wish to set.

[It's too bad he'll spend his new-found freedom drinking beer and gambling.]

It ain't that easy, but I hope you're right.

[Ain't that just the way things go?]

I assure you I am.
