( 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.

[ GULP, this lady means business. but itaru wants to laze about some more??? ]

Seriously? Is this going to take long?

[ he's getting up anyway, because it'd be folly to reject an escort mission with rouge the bat of all characters. maybe she just needs someone tall to reach for high places. ]

How should I know? I just got here!

[ she pops her hands on her hips, puffing out her chest. ]

But this problem's not going to solve itself.

All right, all right. I'll go. I can help reach stuff you can't, at least.

[ he's useless in combat and stuff like that, but sidequest accepted nonetheless! this beats napping for the rest of the trip, though talking with a sentient bat has him craving for a drink right now. ]

Where to, first?

[ a short laugh. ] Me? Need help reaching things? Maybe in another lifetime. You know what they say about assumptions...

[ there's never been a tall shelf or narrow space that Rouge can't squeeze into... all part of being a top class treasure hunter. ]

Let's go have a chat with the conductor. If he doesn't let us off, we'll just have to make our own emergency exit.

Roger that-- wait, you're seriously thinking of jumping out of a moving train? 'Cause I dunno if I'd survive that.

[ that usually happens in movies??? and it doesn't mean that they'll escape unscathed. the world outside is unstable enough as it is that they might not be able to land on anything solid on the way out. ]

Then I guess I'll just have to carry you.

[ or, like, leave him here... she'll weigh the pros and cons if it comes to that. In any case, she sets off down the aisle, heading towards the car door facing in the direction the train is going with full awareness it could be the wrong way. There's no good way to tell. ]

[ on one hand, that'd be cool as hell, but at the same time he still has to retain what's left of his dignity while he's here. hopefully the situation won't have to come to that, because itaru isn't prepared and the last thing he wants is an early game over when his adventure has barely started.

so he follows rouge along the aisles, passing through traincars after traincars, but at some point it's as though... ]


Is it just me or is this train's really long?

[ it sure is. At first, she was fascinated by the massive variation in interiors as they pass through the different cars - but by the tenth one, she's not finding it quite as interesting. When he speaks up, she's already slowing down, frowning as she looks around the latest car (one with a retro-futuristic chrome look to it, for some reason.) ]

It's not just you. I get the feeling we're not going anywhere. [ Rouge glances out one of the blank white windows, pursing her lips. Yeah, this situation's a little too familiar for her not to comment. ] Most likely, space here is distorted. And I'd bet you that time is, too.

Time-space distortion? That serious?

[ no, wait, some of itaru's fellow actors back home had mentioned something about timeloops and shit, but experiencing something like this is a whole different ballpark. not sure if he should be excited or nervous as all heck? maybe both. ]

...You say that as if you've been there before.

[ she smirks. ]

Good guess, sugar. Last time, there was a big bad machine causing all this trouble. If we find that - or whatever's causing this - we should be able to turn things back to normal.

[ the problem is finding it... ]

Ehh... So you've battled final bosses before.

[ honestly hate how itaru would say stuff like that out loud, but he does have an idea! ]

How about the train roof? We can prolly see what we're really dealing with up there. [ and it just so happens that the traincar they're in has a little ladder that leads up to a hatch for the roof, so...... ]
