First Prophecy: Brave New World [Video Open to All // Action for Red X]

[feel_nevermore]

So this is 'Genessia'. [Her voice is slightly hoarse, barely feminine and her tone is somewhat... blasé]

Well I hope this world will be a better one. [She would say 'the right one' but that would sound way too optimistic for Raven.] ...And that they have Rooibos and a good library.

Anyway... Robin, Cyborg, Starfire, Beast Boy, Teen Titans. If any of you here have already heard those names and have something relevant to say about those, you can contact me.

[She seems about to cut the feed when she adds, as an afterthought.]

I'm also interested in learning more about Genessia and the other four cities.

...My name's Raven.

[End of transmission.]

No explosions or sounds of war yet. I think we're good.

{ He's still reading over the letter they both awoke with. The money will help a bit, and if there's one thing Red X is good at, it's getting more of it, albeit through often illegal means. He won't say that out loud to Raven, though; only reason she let him get away with it in Exsilium was because, for once, being on the wrong side of the law there was the better option, given how utterly tyrannical and oppressive the United Earth government was.

When she asked for her team over the network, he glanced up, half-tempted to make a sarky comment about her not thinking his company is enough. He decides against it. Three years with her will change a lot. }

Yeah, uh... { He clears his throat. } Where's the nearest facility full of dangerous, unstable elements?

{ He apparently couldn't bring the xenothium-infused dagger with him. What a shame. He liked the fact that as long as he had that, he didn't have to find new cartridges. }

Action

[feel_nevermore]

Thank Azar for that.

[Not making a comment about his company not being enough was definitely the right decision. If he had, Raven would have told him that she would never forget about her teammates, they were her family No matter how annoying they could be sometimes. But he was the one she'd traveled through three different worlds with, the one she wanted to stay with.

As if she had guessed what he was thinking, she caressed the bracelet around her wrist. The one he'd made for her and that she'd be able to keep and bring here at least.

She gave him a side glance at his question.]

Do you still have some spare cartridges?

Action

[umadrobin]

{ Ahh yes. The bracelet. She's had it for three different worlds, now. That's quite an achievement, taking it across that kind of distance. She's taken great care of it, and that means a lot to him. }

A few. But they've been sitting inert for a while, now. That dagger pretty much made them unnecessary, if not completely obsolete. Dunno if they're even as potent as they should be anymore.

[luckymonster]

A better one? You mean you never liked your own world?

[As if it really matters to Azula how this new girl felt.]

I've sent you the coordinates for Genessia's Library, Nova City's Museum and Holoplaza, Fayren's Cloister of Trials, and Everglade's and Attleton's private and small libraries of information.

[feel_nevermore]

I'm not quite sure which one I should call that anymore. I've been traveling a lot lately.

[As if she was going to answer such a blunt and personal question asked by a perfect stranger, Azula.

Though she gives a nod in thanks as she receives the coordinates.] Thanks. The information is appreciated.

Have you already been to all of those yourself?

[luckymonster]

So you're one of them. Those people who were sent to different worlds before finding their way here. Interesting.

[Hopefully after her time here, Azula won't have to worry about getting sent to a different world. She needed to get back to her home. The Fire Nation needed her there, not anywhere else.]

Everglade, no. But everywhere else, specially Fayren, yes.

[path_to_dawn]

There's a library. Don't know about the... rooibos.

[Everything about the way he says the word sounds like a guy tasting a foreign term for the very first time. The youth lifts his shoulders in a shrug. This gesture doesn't bode well for the hope that those names ring any bells with this silver-haired stranger.]

Not the weirdest names I've heard, but the first I've heard 'em. Hope you find your friends.

[He might have more to say. However, at the moment, he seems to be searching his pockets for something.]

video;

[feel_nevermore]

Rooibos is one of my favorite blends of herbal tea. [But she's new here, so it's probably best not to sound too picky if she wants to try and fit in.] Maybe you know of some place that sells herbal tea or even just tealeaves?

Thanks. [Though well maybe it'll make things less complicated if they're not here. At least for now.

She notices him searching his pockets and quirks a quizzical eyebrow but doesn't say anything.]

video;

[path_to_dawn]

[That blank stare might mean he isn't a big tea drinker. Unwilling to admit he doesn't know much about the subject (or any subject), he changes the subject, holding up a deeply creased and crinkled pamphlet.]

There should've been pamphlets like this one near the place you woke up in. Written by a guy called Dresden. There's a lot of good information in there.

[Video]

[lookprofessor]

[Hello Raven. Here is a small boy in a blue hat, smiling enthusiastically.]

Hello, Miss Raven! My name is Luke.

I've just woken up here too, so I don't know too much about the city yet. But I did find the library!

[To prove his point, he turns the camera so the library is in full view. It's clear he's sitting just in the area with how quickly he could point the building out. As for the tea...well, he is a good English boy, after all.]

I haven't gone looking for any tea shops yet, but even if there is one it's always better to brew tea yourself! It comes out much nicer.

[Video]

[feel_nevermore]

[A nod in greeting.] Hey, Luke.

Or so I see. You've read the part of the manual about sending coordinates, right?

[She recognizes the British accent and nods again in agreement.] I fully agree with that but the thing is I don't have any tealeaves to brew it with either. ...I take it you like tea as well?

[Video]

[lookprofessor]

Mmhm, I read them. If you give me a moment...

[He's clicking away at the phone, brows furrowed. He references the small bit of instructions he has with him frequently, finally getting them sent to Raven.]

There. I think they've sent.

[Luke almost looks offended at the question about tea.]

Of course I like tea! It's my job to make it every day for the Professor. I'm very good at brewing tea, if I say so myself!

[lexcellent]

Intriguing. You seem to be from a universe much closer to my own than anyone else I've met here.

Earth-16 has a Robin and a Beast Boy, but no group by the name Teen Titans. Does your Earth have a Justice League? What about a Lex Luthor?

[feel_nevermore]

Is that so? Well I am from Earth. ...Earth-16 however doesn't ring any bell.

Sounds familiar. But Robin would be the one knowing all about it. [He's the one with the database.] What about him?

[lexcellent]

Your Earth must not be one of those that's made contact with its counterparts in neighboring universes. Or if it has, it would seem you're unaware. It's not common knowledge on my Earth, either, but I'm more connected than most.

Raven, was it? I'm Lex Luthor. I'm sorry to say [more like glad] I haven't met Robin or any of the people you mentioned here, whether from your universe, my own, or any of the other nearby Earths.

If you have any noteworthy skills or knowledge and are interested in finding a way home, you might pay a visit to Lexcorp, in Nova City to the north. I'd like to begin putting together a team toward the end of escaping this prison.

[OOC: just how the heck does DC cosmology work anyway with all the crazy demon realms and stuff but also the different versions of Earth? Does each Earth have its own corresponding Azarath etc??

gdi I wouldn't have to think about this if I'd been Slade instead of Lex.]

[soldierofloveandbeauty]

Some of those names you mentioned sound like something out of a video game or something. That or their mother was not kind of them.

[Because that seemed like the thing to really point out here.]

video;

[feel_nevermore]

That would be because those are code names. [Duh, Minako. The second part is met with even more sarcasm, since sarcasm is Raven's defense mechanism by default. You kinda hit a sensitive spot there...] And their mothers or families in general haven't been around for quite a long time but thanks for your concern.

Anything else?

video;

[watchesthesea]

What about the cities would you want to know about? I could try and help you in that area.

video;

[feel_nevermore]

Anything really. Names, things you can find there, how you get there... I find I heard something necklaces and.... wishes?

video;

[shslprogrammer]

I... believe people have already mentioned the libraries to you correct?

[He is quietly using the device and somewhat looking at his laptop screen at the same time. He can multitask.]

They have the best source for information right now when it comes to these places.

video;

[feel_nevermore]

Correct.

I'll go there and look for relevant documentation, then. Have you been there for long?

voice;

[witchofsnakes]

[What odd names for people. She assumed there must be a reason for such things, but never the less she keeps to voice for the time being. Just in case.]

I believe you learn more about a place by going and exploring more than asking of others opinions, but that could just be me.

voice;

[feel_nevermore]

Asking about them does not mean I don't intend to explore them later. [Quite the opposite in fact.]

[psychic_supremecy]

There's not much to learn about the history of this place. Believe me, I've tried. I don't believe any of those names have made it to this place either.

[feel_nevermore]

Yet this place has to have a history... unless it's another one of those artificially created places that suddenly appeared out of nowhere. [Hopefully not. That would give Raven an unpleasant impression of déjà vu. ...Where have you been looking for information?

Thanks for the confirmation.
