1st Update - Voice

I find myself in a precarious situation. I've read the literature provided, but I can't connect to GALAX, so this network will have to do.

[There's a little sigh.]

You may call me LOAD.

I find myself surrounded by water, although it isn't very deep. I'll admit, I'm a bit at a loss of what to do here. If I could get online, certainly I could figure things out from there so if someone could offer directions to a computer, that would be most helpful.

[Satsuki.. Really does not like using these video phones, but LOAD is too far away for her to approach in a timely manner.

She'd be interested in seeing their skill, however. If it's adequate LOAD'd make for a very useful ally.

I believe all of us have found ourselves in this city by the same means.

You should be able to locate a computer at the library, though I am uncertain of how helpful it will be.

I can't be that far from home, can I?

[He pauses, he isn't sure what to do in that case.]

Have you heard of GALAX?

As of now I cannot confirm where we are on Earth. But I also admit I possess only the most basic proficiency with computers.

And I have not. But that is not unusual; I assume you have never heard of REVOCS.

I haven't heard of REVOCS.

[That in itself is puzzling because if that's something that people should know, it would have shown up in GALAX. Someone would have mentioned it and he spent most of his days monitoring the program through X.]

The currency is unlike any I've seen before either. The idea that this is some place outside of Japan is insane.

[His mind is racing a little.]

How did someone manage to get me here without my notice anyhow?

So you you are from there as well? Then that makes it clear that a number of people are from different, shall we say, versions of Japan. It is unknown, for now, how we've all arrived here.

[Satsuki is quiet for a moment.]

Many things here are different, though basic living is essentially the same. My theory is that we are supposed to simply settle here, there isn't any evidence that suggests why as of yet.

I suppose I should introduce myself, I am Satsuki. Revocs Corporation is world-known textile company. I'd like you to explain what GALAX is.

[This all seems like something out of a science fiction novel. It takes a moment for him to answer as he is processing the information.]

Seems like a strange kind of kidnapping, doesn't it? They snatch you up and then just expect you to live somewhere new. I suppose the basics of life are necessary when you are stuck somewhere indefinitely.

[He pauses, well she did introduce herself so he can do her the courtesy of doing the same.]

I'm Rui. Ninomiya Rui. Even if you explain it, Revocs Corporation isn't one I'm familiar with.

[He smirks a little, at least this he can do.]

GALAX is an open platform social networking site and application that connects users all over the country. It's an intricate program that is maintained by an A.I. named X and X keeps an eye on everything going on. The idea is to update the world through social media and using everyone instead of people manipulating things to their own ends. It's a fairly large community now.

It does..

[Satsuki admits she doesn't grasp the entire scope of GALAX's purpose, but what she does gather impresses her. Really, all that's left is for Rui to prove their talent.]

I see. It may be beneficial for both of us to speak further, Rui, though it would be best to do so in person- I have a dislike for these devices.

I wish to see a demonstration of your skill. In return I will get you up to speed best I can.

The Bay is in the center of the city, but you'd probably be better off going to the library. Walk West down Maple, then turn right onto 6th and then left on Iris.

You do have to walk through the water at some point though.

That sounds fine, but I'll need directions since I don't know where I am to begin with.

[He gets up, frowning a little bit although she can't see him.]

I hope I find a map soon.

Thank you for the directions.

[He sighs a little bit.]

I realize that, I am deciding how best to do it. I'm not sure how deep it gets though. I think I'll remove my heels and hope it isn't dangerous.

[It might sound shallow, but they were expensive shoes.]

You will not; I am already on my way- It may take about twenty minutes. And I shall provide a map for you.

You sound young; might I ask your age?

I will be at the edge of the water then, I have no interest in remaining surrounded by it.

Do I? [He smiles a little bit.] I'm already eighteen, so not that young.

Is that right.. One moment.

[Perhaps it's the acoustics of the bay to blame! That said, but 'one moment' she clearly meant twenty minutes because it takes her that long to arrive.

Her uniform is a combination of a sailor fuku and a military uniform, and she has a sword in hand; her stride is purposeful and.. Well, she doesn't really appear very friendly. There seems to be a rather commanding presence about her when she comes to halt before Rui, whom she greets with a raise of her brow.]

Rui Ninomiya?

Edited 2014-05-01 01:10 (UTC)

[Twenty minutes isn't that long in the scheme of things really, and Rui found somewhere to sit while he waits for her. In a way it was lucky that he was wearing what he wanted to when he was kidnapped because for the most part he didn't let people meet him when he wasn't dressed up accordingly.

Satsuki does give off a commanding presence, while Rui's own presence is one that easily blends into the crowd. He stands, smoothing down his red and black skirt, brushes one of his blond braided pigtails aside and pushes a button on his tablet to clear the screen]

That would be me. You're Satsuki?

[Satsuki nods her head.] Mn. [Though she has to admit, Rui doesn't look as she had expected. But then again not every computer wiz would look like Hoka, would they?]

Has anyone familiar contacted you while you were waiting? Some newcomers are 'fortunate' enough to run into one or two.

[That said, the other's presence is about what she had expected. Sadly she hasn't any Goku Uniforms to bring that potential out further. She'll have to make do.]

No, no one at all. That's not that unusual though.

[Rui seems to be thinking about something.] Someone gave me directions to the library.

[He glances around the body of water again, a little puzzled by it all.]

Something just isn't sitting right with me about this whole thing. It's illogical.

[He might not have reached out to Satsuki at home, but he's also missing his Hundred and only he has CROWDS here.]

I suppose while I'm trapped here, maybe I can update this world as well.

[Satsuki is used to the atmosphere here, so isn't nearly as curious about it. Which may or may not be unusual. She can understand the other's curiosity, though, and it almost makes her smile.]

It is. But perhaps with a few clues, things will become clear. [she offers] Ah, before I forget..

[Satsuki hands Rui a map of Genessia City.]

And what do you mean by 'update'?

[ Weiss wouldn't blame her for it. ]

I don't think anyone's going to judge you for taking care of your things, but it's not dangerous.

[Rui accepts the map with a nod, glancing it over while he talks.]

My reasons for creating GALAX were to change the way the world is run. There's a big problem with the politicians in my country with a high level of turn over. No one is able to do the job, there is a lot of corruption and I don't think we need people like that anymore. People are perfectly capable of taking care of themselves. GALAX is used for a lot of things and when people behave in a way that helps the community at large they are rewarded with points and scores in their help to 'update the world'

GALAX encompasses a lot of different applications in one large social media system.

That's fair, but it's hard to tell with a body of water I'm not familiar with. There could be anything in it.

[Rui pauses a moment.]

There, I've made it to the shore.

I know, that's why I'm telling you.

[ Clearly she should trust a perfect stranger because Weiss says so. Mostly because it's Weiss, and she figures she should just be trusted alright alright. ]

Congratulations. There's another small flyer nearby, but it's pretty useless. It basically tells you not to panic, as though that ever helps.

That's an.. Interesting system. By the sounds of it, it seems it was incredibly popular.

[Satsuki is surprised that something like that would even work. But..]

Perhaps that is your purpose; something like that would be useful here. Nova City is a city connected to Genessia via archway that is deeply immersed in technology.

If you prove yourself, then perhaps I could pull a few strings and provide you a head start.

Edited 2014-05-03 23:18 (UTC)

[Nova City sounds like the kind of place he would like to go. Rui answers her with a smirk.]

What kind of test are you proposing?

I'm not panicking at least. I'm not pleased, but I'm not pulling my hair out in a panic.

[Rui sighs and looks around again. Already this place is stranger than where he was from]

Nothing too difficult, merely proof that you can do as you claim.

[She gestures for Rui to follow along.]

If I am left unimpressed, you will be left on your own from there on of course; I have projects of my own to maintain.
