[It was lucky for everyone in Prospero that Asch appeared within the walls of the hotel, otherwise he might be doing this to you. "This" being grabbing the nearest person and trying to get information out of them. Instead of one of your PCs, he has poor helpless NPC hotel clerk by the scruff of his neck, lifting him up high enough for his knees to be banging against the lobby desk. This must have been going on for some time, because by the time Asch's cellphone falls and pops open to video, he's already giving the man a vicious shake, in the middle of complaining.]

--an behind this?! I have much more important things to be doing then to just be thrown around wherever people damn well please! Answer me!

[Thankfully, security chose to show up at that moment. The only problem was, Asch was holding a projectile, and he wasn't afraid to use him. The security guards barely caught the poor hotel clerk, falling over in the process, as another security guard jumped Asch from behind. You get to see them scuffle for a good minute, before the cellphone is accidentally kicked, and the feed cuts out.]

[Don't worry; Asch will be free to answer calls once he ~~gets out of jail~~ cools off a bit.]

Blonde girl... though she didn't seem like she was all there anyway. She said something about something being in our heads.

Oh, that from V/V? Bah, I'm never gonna get used to that name...

It's a good question, but I wouldn't put too much thought into it. At least, not until the more immediate ones are answered anyway.

[Spoken in the tone of a person who's never dealt with existential angst in their life.]

Hn... yeah, her.

[Glad he wasn't the only one that thought she was batshit. He smirked.]

Immediate questions... those being, why we're here, and who do we need to beat the hell out of in order to get back?

Something like that, yeah. Far as I can tell, not to mention as far as I've heard, we're here to pummel monsters into the ground at midnight. If that's right I assume the answer to getting out of here's pretty similar.

Tch... why specifically midnight?

[Seriously, who the hell would be up at that hour, unless it was to cause trouble.]

Ah. First day, huh?

Just stick around 'till then. If nothing else, I've found that everyone with one of these phones goes through the same extra-hour-in-the-day garbage at Midnight.

[Extra hour...? Why did he have a bad feeling about this.]

This whole thing makes no sense.

It stinks of some pretty powerful magic. [He grins wryly.] Common sense kinda has a habit of going out the window when that's involved.

[Exasperated sigh.]

You're not wrong...

I'm not one of the people who's been here for a long time -- ain't even been a month for me yet, when I think about it. Still, the best advice I can give is just to roll with the punches for now.

[Gettin' mad won't help etc etc.]

[Asch let out an irritable noise. That was easy for someone else to say; they didn't have a madman on their world that thought dropping cities into poisonous sludge was awesome. Still, he did have a point, even if it wasn't one he liked. Best thing he could do was chill and try to find a way off this rock.]

...fine.

Heh, don't make that face. Trust me on this one, it could be way worse than it is.

[Like being forced to fight for a madman with a thing for deadly sludge and generally taking actions against your character. That'd suck.]

Name's Lancer, by the way. You?

[Shh, spoilers.]

It's Asch.

Nice to meet you. I'd say "welcome to Prospero" or something like that, but it looks like security rushed to make you feel welcome already.

[Cue an indignant noise. Not that Asch didn't deserve it, and he fully acknowledges that he did, but like hell he was actually going to say as much.]

What are we expected to do here? I mean, besides fight monsters.

Whatever it is the people in this era do, basically. School for the kids, and various jobs for the adults. In summary: blend in with the common folk.

[His tone implies it's kind of a bother but those would be the proverbial breaks.]

Hn... guess I'll have to get a job then.

[Because like hell he's going to school. Just no one tell him that 17-year-olds should be there. :x]

[Don't expect this guy to even know that 18's the school cut-off age. Things were, uh, different when he was a kid.]

Ain't too hard to find one looking for hires. They don't seem to mind someone juggling multiple jobs either, unless you try to do two at once. The whole "can't be in two places at once" thing.

...gh, you'd be surprised...

[Clears his throat.]

That's good to hear. Hopefully I'll be able to find something I can stomach.

Not much can surprise me, actually.

Good luck with that -- they're mostly menial, kinda mundane things. Just keep that temper in check and you'll be fine. [Because if there's one thing he knows the value of, it's keeping one's temper in check.]

I can keep my anger in check when I want to.

[No he can't.]

Right. Just try not to make another scene then, I suppose.
