01 - Audio -> Video

[There's a sound of rustling as the feed turns on with just audio, and footsteps can be heard shortly thereafter. A small "hmm" can be heard before the pressing of buttons, and there. It's on a video feed with a woman, blonde hair, reddish brown eyes, dressed in a royal blue military uniform. She has a professional expression across her features.]

My name is First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye. I apparently passed out somehow, and woke up with these instructions and what's called a smart phone. If this is a kidnapping from what that projection of the girl informed, I have to say you're not doing a very good job of it.

[She frowned and sighed for a brief moment, relaxing her tone just slightly.]

I suppose I should start asking around for employment if I'm going to be here a while.

Kidnapping while it is correct isn't the same as actual kidnappings. It's a rather strange thing if I have to be honest.

[Chiaki appeared on the feed, eyes focused on the device for the meantime.]

[his_queen]

It seems that way. Everything about this just doesn't sit well with me.

[gamerrep]

Are you use to odd things then?

video

[his_queen]

Unfortunately, yes. I guess it can count towards being better prepared for situations like this one.

[gamerrep]

I think that is an advantage at least. Unlike me who would rather not be involved in the oddities, but still, find myself apart of it.

[pianola]

Considering we can't return.

The kidnapping seems to be successful.

[ Dorothy is still dressed up thanks to the event, so you're just getting text responses for now, Riza. ]

[ text ]

[his_queen]

I suppose so. That doesn't mean I have to like it.

[ text ]

[pianola]

Neither do I. If I could offer more reassuring news, I would.

Employment, fortunately, is simple to find here.

[ text ]

[his_queen]

That's good to know about the employment. To be honest, I don't know if it's comforting or unnerving that there are so many others in the same boat.

[ text ]

[pianola]

I think it's unnerving.

But focusing on that doesn't change things.

[spacepeterpan]

Ah, well, sorry, but I'm afraid you're not talking to the kidnappers, well, probably not, certainly most of us aren't, and frankly, if they managed to bring me here, they're maybe doing better than you think, hello, I'm the Doctor, first lieutenant of what, if you don't mind my asking?

...she did the thing. xD

[his_queen]

[Blinks at the nonstop talking as she processes what he was saying, a small smile forming on her face.]

Hello yourself. The Amestris State Military. And Doctor who exactly if you don't mind my asking?

[spacepeterpan]

Well, wasn't going to be the Salvation Army, I s'pose, was it...

[He's obviously a little bit disappointed, there, even if it was never a likely thing, but he adapts and keeps right on going.]

Just the Doctor, long story, sure you wouldn't be interested, Amestris, though, don't think I know that one, let's see, not used to smart phones, but seems like a holographic image surprised you less, that's interesting, you used to that sort of thing in Amestris, then, Riza?

[his_queen]

Not necessarily that sort of thing in particular, but unfortunately, strange happenings aren't out of the ordinary. I certainly wish they didn't occur.

[spacepeterpan]

No, didn't think so, what sort of strange things, then, not technology, or at least not technology you recognize, yeah?

[Akihiko is on one of his normal jogs, wearing just the cape instead of a shirt.]

That's a refreshing take on the situation. I think there are some opening still at the Genessia City Police Department. Sounds like you're more than qualified.

[Video]

[his_queen]

Oh? I might actually look into that. The Police Department might be right up my alley.

Honestly when it comes to situations like this one, my life isn't in any immediate danger, so I may as well bide my time by playing along with their rules. I wish we could get back to our homes... there's someone counting on me.

[Video]

[southpaw_senpai]

I just put my own application in there. Maybe we'll be seeing more of each other.

[He grins with an almost sad slant and chuckles.]

That sounds familiar. Whoever that someone is must feel pretty lucky. Having people you can count on is rare, especially when that loyalty spans dimensions.

[Video]

[his_queen]

Maybe. I think that'd be nice.

[She smiled.] He knows how lucky he is. May I ask your name?

[Video]

[k2so]

[Is the very obvious military attire what caches Kay's optic. The rest of the post...well, everyone complains about being kidnapped, with a good reason.]

What's the name of your organization, First Lieutenant Riza Hawkeye?

[Yes, he's going to use the full tittle and name.]

[Video]

[his_queen]

The Amestris State Military. Under Fuhrer Grumman... and you are?

[Video]

[k2so]

I can't say I've ever heard of that Military branch before. [Probably for the best.] perhaps we aren't from the same Galaxy.

I'm a KX Series enforcer droid but here I work as a Deputy in Attleton. My name is K-2SO.

[Video]

[his_queen]

Perhaps. I'm noticing that's a trend.

[Pause. Confused expression.]

A droid? As in... an android? I thought that was the work of science fiction.

[Video]

[justicereigns]

You're not kidnapped, but you're not the first to think so, it's a pretty logical conclusion.

What are you a First Lieutenant of, officer?

[Video]

[his_queen]

The Amestris State Military. From what I've been hearing, most people haven't heard of where I'm from. [She frowned.]

There are quite a few people here from all sorts of places.
