[Action/Video] New Arrival at the Bay - OTA

[Action]

[Despite the pod opening to reveal a high school junior, he was still fast asleep and doesn't seem willing to get up.
Eventually, he does begin to stir in groggy protests and sits up in the pod, rubbing his eyes.]


"Ugh... Man... What happened?"

[He struggles to try to remember. He steadily begins to remember faces, a tower and darkness.]

"...Oh, right. We were exploring Tartarus, and..."

[Junpei took his hands off his face and finally notices his surroundings. Seeing a creepy cave littered with pods standing in water made him feel like he was in some alien movie. On top of that, he realizes he can't see any of his friends around. He begins to get nervous.]

"Wha... What the hell is this?!" [He tries to get out of the pod he was in, only to trip and fall into the water with a hearty splash.]

Flailing a moment to get back up, he grabbed the pod and pulled himself back up, spitting out water in the process. Looking into the pod, he finds the equipment he brought with him, a katana and the gun-shaped Evoker. Junpei takes them and straps them on. If this was another floor of Tartarus, surely there will be shadows and the last thing he wants is to get caught with his pants down, even if he was confident enough to take them all out on his own.

Furthermore, he finds something else in the pod, a simple box. Junpei picks it up and examines it a moment before turning around to look around the area he was in.]

"... Heeey!! Yuka-tan!! Mitsuru-senpai!! Akihiko-senpai!! Where are ya guys?!"

[Would that attract shadows? Probably. Junpei didn't care. He and Hermes can take them out. But, no reply. He waited a bit longer, listening carefully. Still nothing. He looks to the box in his hands and lifts the lid. He ignored most of the stuff he found inside, except for a necklace and a device. He didn't even hesitate to put the necklace on, grinning like the lucky guy that he was for finding such a sweet chain that would surely bring all the girls to his arms. He then turns his attention the device, holding it in one hand as he thumbed around with the buttons while he made his way towards the nearest exit, not realizing he just turned it on.]

[Video]

[The network feed came alive to a teenaged boy, looking as though he's really putting in the brain power to figure out the communicator, talking to himself.]

"Just how do you work this thing? It has a screen, but it's not a TV and it's not a phone... So what is it for?"

"That, dear subject, is your personal Ted Viewer. Or 'TV' for short. I am your new lord and king, and with that, if the stars align, I may deign to show you my visage.

For now, acclimatize yourself, so that you might better serve me if and when I have need of you. Any questions?"

" 'Acclimatize', as in, gird your loins and gather your bearings. I can't make use of you if you're in a panic, now can I?

As regards what this is all about, I am in the middle of a great labor, one that will shake the heavens to their foundation. For that I have need of many various subjects. Count yourself lucky that you've been selected, and found a place in my work. But I am gracious, and the work will wait until you've calmed your nerves. The hologram will explain more."

Which is something he should get around to to avoid being strung along too long.

He jumped a little from his chair. "Oh, Porrim! Welcome. I'm afraid my 'open door' policy was more of a rhetorical flourish; I am ever the ardent believer in knocking. Anyway, I was just rolling out the welcome mat for our new arrival. Which, given your experience in formal gatherings, I've just decided lies right in your wheelhouse. Have at it! I should probably look into something...Guardian...-y."

So smooth.

She puts down some papers on his desk. "Take a look at these then. I'm renting some space for a townhall meeting. This necromancy thing is really important. If you think it's the right thing, then we need to help people understand your side of things."

She walks around the desk to Ted's device, and turns on the video feed. "Hello?"

[Levy can't believe what she's seeing on the video right now. She'll leave Ted to Porrim and address the poor boy who's just arrived. This isn't a way he should meet others.]

Hi there. Just ignore Ted. I'm Levy. I'd be happy to answer any questions you have. To start this is like a phone but it does video too.

It's to talk to those who've woken up just like you have.

[Aqua has made a habit of checking the bay to see if Ventus might have found his way here as well. She can't help but worry about him but like every other day before he isn't there.

She sighs softly, her expression a little disappointed when she hears Junpie splash into the calm water. Quick strides bring her towards the noise and ripples that out stretch from his location. She hears some of what he says but it makes little sense to her.]


Hello? Are you alright?

"My, you work swiftly. Do you need an itemized list of all the ways it's awful? Aside from being an abomination to God, of course, a taste I doubt they've acquired just yet."

[ To Ted, off screen, expression: annoyed. ] Yes, that's a good start. Add the 'abomination to god' part if you insist but I'll probably be editing that out.

[ Finally back to Junpei, smiling now. ]

Hi. Hello. Sorry about that. I'm Porrim, I work at the Guardian's office in Everglade.

Did you just arrive?

I suspect my superior here may have been pulling your horn. [ He'd be getting an earful later. ] Let me call you back on my device.

[ She hangs up momentarily and then calls back with her own phone, in another office. ]

A little while back, Ted banned necromancy from Everglade, which wasn't a popular move. Rather than try to defend the action, he seems set on just going down in a blaze of righteous glory. I'm making sure that doesn't happen.

"Oh, that's too bad. You'd be surprised how angry that makes Him; I consider divine wrath one more thing to guard the city from. But all right, if you insist." In no particular order...


  • The undead typically have an offensive odor

  • It retards the grieving process.

  • It disturbs people from what should be their eternal rest.

  • It's subject to deception; I've heard of cases where sought after spirits were, in fact, being impersonated by a demon, or some other ne'er-do-well.

  • It makes existential terror possible. The very worst abuses of anything else I can think of don't quite match putting a soul in a jar.

  • It profanes life; seldom do people come back quite as fresh as they went.

  • Dracula approves of it.

  • I've actually met some of his lauded undead; scores of mindless zombies shuffling about, ravenous and violent. To say nothing of the bone-throwing skeletons. It didn't leave a favorable impression.

  • It deprives a soul of its will, or defenses. There are things you can tease from a spirit it might resist otherwise.



That'll do for a start. Feel free to put down others; whenever Klaus gets back to me, I'll consult with him and see if we can't polish it up.

I hope it'll be enough; this isn't some philosophical plank that can be taken down with rigorous argument. It's the culture of a people, however warped. More heart than mind.

"I think that will do for a start.

I was also thinking of taking Klaus along and actually taking an invitation that Dracula gave me a bit back to see the undead in his castle. He claimed they were refugees in the wake of your laws. If it's as you say, it may be good ammunition to show the public."

[Levy's smiles grows.]

That's right. For the moment we are stuck in this world.

[Her smiles falters slightly.]

We try to make due but things can be hectic. Are you still at the Bay? I can meet you if it's easier to explain.

[She doesn't know his thoughts about her looks though she'd be flattered.]

"Mm, well it goes without saying, but be careful in that place. Barely got out with my life when I made a similar journey. And, not to be a negative Nancy, but I don't think you'll find anything damning so long as he knows you're coming. Doubtlessly he'll dress them in as fair a costume as he can manage. But I'll trust your judgment.

Oh! One other thing. This is just an intuition of my own, but I don't think it was a coincidence. You know, how Everglade got the worst of the spirit attack. Which we really need an official, catchy name for. It's all too appropriate that the place which mucks about with wayward spirits bore the brunt of their wrath."

Yet another has been kidnapped for whatever purpose this reality has...

[Patchouli doesn't look much older than twenty, despite her actual age.]

That device is used to talk to others, like yourself, who have been brought here.

[She smiles a little wistfully, looking at the young man.]

You must have just arrived too.

[ Oh bother. ]

Calm down. Let's forget about all that for now, it seems you'll probably be more at home in Genessia City anyway. You'll be more comfortable where there are mostly generic humans about. Each of the cities tends to collect a certain 'genre' of individual. I'm a Troll (among other things) and Everglade is the most comfortable for me.

[ Also green skin? Her little argument with Ted must have left her a little flushed, the green blood visible through normally grey skin. ]

I believe Ted mentioned the holographic console? That was made by Weiss Schnee with the Schnee Welcoming Company. Why don't you go give that a listen and call me back?
