[ action ]

[ There's an unsettled looking man with two sets of ears (a pair of cat ears, and a set of long pointy ears) wandering about town, taking in everything that he can.

Alp isn't sure what he's supposed to do. He can't get back to the world of the Dream Demons and he should find his master as soon as he can. ]


[ video ]

Good day. I'm Alp.

[ Is that enough as an introduction...? ]

I was wondering, has anyone met anyone by the name Empusa? Or one called Baku? [ Empusa causes so much trouble when he's on his own... ] I would be grateful to know if you have met them.

[ So he might be seriously confused, but that won't stop Ed from exploring. So after having looked over the stuff provided, he heads out to get to know this new place.

As the Strahl candidate isn't exactly a shy guy, he doesn't hesitate to approach anyone he sees. ]

Hey, 'scuse me! Can I ask you something?

[ And then, as if remembering his manners: ]

I mean, hi, I'm Eduard. Would you mind if I asked you some questions?

[After waking up with no idea where she was on a mysterious boat, and moving up from said boat to discover a city she did not recognize in the least, Yang had just plopped herself down on a nearby bench. When it came to weirdness and oddity, the teen generally needed a few minutes to really process through all of it, so that's what she was doing. It wasn't helping very much, but at least the urge to scream was starting to fade?]

[Instead she turned on the walkie-talkie thing, flipping slowly through the options until she found what she hoped was some sort of video feature. On a social network? Something like that. It would have to do for now, anyway.]

Uh. Hey. I'm Yang. [She gives the screen a little wave.] Not really sure what's going on? I found these pamphlet things but, didn't really read 'em yet.

[She pauses, and her expression turns a bit frustrated as she points over her shoulder, back towards where she had emerged after waking up.]

Look, anybody else just wake up a boat? 'cause that's a thing that happened, and it's still freaking me out a little bit.

[She sucks in a breath and then runs her hand through her hair, tugging on it in frustration.] Right, anyway. I guess I'll just...read these? 'cause that'll help... Thanks.

[She waves again and then clicks the screen off.]

[After a few moments of trying to figure out how to use the stupid machine (why couldn't it just be a scroll?), Glynda decided to try to send out a message.]

I would think that titling something first with "Don't Panic" is just asking for trouble.

[There's a pause and a small sigh.] This certainly is a strange experience... What did I get myself into this time? [Another sigh.]

I'm known as Professor Goodwitch--if anyone can be more helpful than these papers, I would greatly appreciate it.
