( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )



There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably. Or did you get something back recently?

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble. It might've changed since the last time you saw it.

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin.

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

Well, of course it does. It's a photograph.

[ ... ]

Don't tell me you've never seen one before.
ittoryu: (sprite - default.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 06:16 pm (UTC)(link)
I've never heard of these "photographs", no.
femmebatale: (and i'm called in to find)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-11 08:13 pm (UTC)(link)
[ a slow blink; then she crosses her arms, tilting her head. ]

Wow. What rock did they pull you out from under?
ittoryu: (f - smile.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 09:59 pm (UTC)(link)
I imagine we come from very different places.
femmebatale: (bye bye!)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-11 11:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Still! You ought to get out more. Lucky for you that I'm around to explain things.

[ she wanders over to the photograph. ]

It looks realistic because it's a copy of reality, not a drawing. Light is used to burn an image onto a special type of paper.
ittoryu: (f - :o.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 11:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Hoh! Sounds like something from the future.
femmebatale: (to hoodwink a crowd)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-11 11:47 pm (UTC)(link)
More like two hundred years in the past.

[ but she's heard this song before... at least she's not frozen into a statue this time. ]

So this is time travel again.
ittoryu: (sprite - nod.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 11:52 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah, if only Aldo was here... Well, I suppose it's up to me to learn on my own this time!
femmebatale: (the agency chimes)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-12 12:03 am (UTC)(link)
[ ... ]

Are you talking to yourself? It's rude to ignore a lady!
ittoryu: (sprite - surprised.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-12 12:06 am (UTC)(link)
—Oh! My apologies. I was just recalling a friend.
femmebatale: (i'm clandestine by the microphone)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-12 12:14 am (UTC)(link)
Hmph.

[ she is slightly offended, but WHATEVER!! ]

Forget about that. I want to find out who put us here. And since you're here, too, you should help me out.
ittoryu: (official - 4-stars.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-12 12:17 am (UTC)(link)
Hahaha! I have no complaints about that.
femmebatale: (dr. bow-tie makes for the door)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-12 12:20 am (UTC)(link)
[ score ]

That's better. I'm Rouge the Bat, but you can just call me Rouge. [ a beat. ] Now, did you find a strange marking on yourself when you woke up here? Don't be shy.
ittoryu: (f - surprised.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-12 12:23 am (UTC)(link)
A marking? I haven't seen anything like that.
femmebatale: (when you can scat your commands)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-12 05:37 am (UTC)(link)
You haven't? Well, I did. I wonder what that's all about.

[ it's super weird to have a tattoo of a bat on her back when she is already a bat...... ]

It's not my style at all, either.
ittoryu: (s - neutral.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-12 07:37 am (UTC)(link)
What does it look like?
femmebatale: (bye bye!)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-13 02:58 am (UTC)(link)
What's the least creative thing you can think of for me?

[ but she indulges, anyway, turning around and spreading her wings to curl them around her front. Since her top is backless to accommodate said wings, it's easy to see the plain tattoo between her little shoulderblades. ]
ittoryu: (f - :o.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-13 01:35 pm (UTC)(link)
Ah.

... Well, nevertheless, it's a lovely marking and looks excellent on you!
femmebatale: (blue skies from dakar to nice)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-14 06:32 am (UTC)(link)
[ that makes her snort, and she turns back around, a wry look on her features. ]

Well, aren't you sweet. Maybe I can forgive you for being rude earlier. [ flatter her MORE ] Are you sure you don't have one?
ittoryu: (g - hip.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-14 01:23 pm (UTC)(link)
I haven't seen one...
femmebatale: (who took the briefcase and ran)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-15 06:29 am (UTC)(link)
That's not helpful at all. [ a melodramatic sigh. ] All right, how about this - did you get here now, or are you someone who's been here a while?
ittoryu: (f - casual.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-15 01:22 pm (UTC)(link)
Just now, I would say.
femmebatale: (「and make your eyes light up」)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-17 07:41 am (UTC)(link)
That's not helpful, either!

[ WHY!! Another sigh, followed by her tapping her foot and glancing around the little bar room. ]

What's a girl gotta do to get some answers around here?
ittoryu: (g - hip.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-17 02:27 pm (UTC)(link)
Pray to a deity?
femmebatale: (and i'm called in to find)

[personal profile] femmebatale 2020-01-18 06:37 am (UTC)(link)
Do I look like the praying type to you?
