[Finding himself transported somewhere against his will was nothing new to him. The sheer number of times it happened had long since blended together into an almost drunken daze within his memories. After all, it's perfectly normal to mentally blot out something once you repeated it enough times. He has been wandering these looped worlds for so long that he just allowed his instincts to mindlessly guide him through.

That was not the case here. It may have took him a few moments to comprehend, but he slowly came to the startling conclusion that he has never been here before. This was not any of the numerous worlds that he had been forced to repeat nor the ship graveyard where it all started.

In fact, he shouldn't even be alive right now.

Touma silently explored his surroundings as his thoughts were consumed with puzzling out the new situation he found himself in. It didn't take him long to sort through all the conveniently placed information. He couldn't help but frown as he thumbed through the pamphlet. Just what happened to him after his fight with Othinus? Was this just another world created by her? If so, why would she go through the trouble of creating a fresh new world to plunge him into after what just happened? He ruffled his spiky hair in frustration as he contemplated these questions.

A tired sigh escaped his lips. With the equally convenient communicator in hand, he decided to give it a try. The feed opens up to display a Japanese teenager with a hair style one would associate with either Shonen protagonists or no good delinquents. His expression held no surprise or fear at his current situation, but was tainted with a hint of frustration.]

Alright, I've already skimmed through my suspiciously convenient pamphlet so I think I at least have the basics down for this place. You don't have to worry about me asking the usual cliché questions. I understand perfectly that I'm very far from home and my sudden arrival is not anything special.

I do have one question about this whole situation; Just how long has this been going on?

[He actually has a lot more questions than that, but he highly doubts he would get any useful answers for them.]

Hey you read that thing? So, what were the highlights?

That being kidnapped is an invalid excuse for not contributing to society.

Why are you asking me that anyway? Did you accidentally loss your copy or are you trying to quiz me?

It said that? That pamphlet's kind of a dick.

[He doesn't even pause to think through the lie.]
It's a quiz. What else did it say?

I paraphrased.

[It has become glaring obvious to him that his little quizzer had no idea what was written in the pamphlet.]

I'm not going to read the pamphlet for you. How about I just give you mine?

So does that make you a dick or the pamphlet?

I've got a pamphlet. You're failing the quiz.

[Touma decided to completely ignore his question.]

This is pointless. Why is it even necessary to quiz me?

[that's no fun at all!]

You'd know that if you read the pamphlet.

You're taking this all pretty well. Not even a little griping or moaning.

This isn't exactly the first time I've been dropped in some random place. I've gotten used to it.

[He has long since lost count on the number times it has happened.]

That sounds like pretty crappy luck bro.

My misfortune knows no bounds. This is far from the worst thing that has happened to me.

What else happened to you? Were there ninja robots involved?

Only the average giant variety.

[His tone made it difficult to tell if he was being serious or not.]

Huh, in the case of ninjas I wouldn't think the bigger is better thing really applied.

[Killua has seen weirder things. But he thinks GIANT robot ninjas would be a pretty dumb idea. Giant robots=cool, ninja robots = cool. Giant Ninja Robots makes no sense.]

It works better in space.

["A wizard did it" is sadly an accurate description for their existence and all the other interesting events he suffered through for the past several decades. Or was it centuries? Millenniums? He doesn't really remember and doesn't want to think about it too much.]

I think you mashed up too many genres.

Beats me. I just recently arrived here as well. Though it's odd seeing different people from different times. It really throws me off since so much happens in the future that I can only dream of.

Huh? You mean there're people from different timelines being dragged to this place as well?

[He seemed to have underestimated the weirdness of his situation.]

That's right! I'm from the year 1983, apparently I'm quite the old fashioned one.

You're not too far off from me. I'm from twenty one years in the future.

[OOC: There is no official year given for when the series takes place. It's set in "modern times" and was first released in 2004 so that's the year I'm going to use. Headcanon GO!]

Not too far off? That's still quite the leap, ahahah. It's amazing seeing people from the future. Makes me want to see if I have a future self in here-- though the chances of that are slim and probably would cause a paradox of some sort.
