[Action/Video]

[discomilf]

[Anyone around The Bay would likely notice something happening. A light seemed to be shining from within, and after a few moments that light would explode into a dazzling rainbow of color washing over the surroundings, making it dull by contrast. At the center of this light was a woman. Tall, slender, and wearing a fashionable if revealing dress and hair that encompassed just as many colors as the light surrounding her. She stood at the entrance of The Bay, looking around with mild disdain before finally beginning to walk, wandering the streets as she gathered her bearings, the light seemingly following her everywhere.]

[Video]

[It had been a couple hours and Ragyo was shown seated at an outdoor cafe, a coffee next to her as the pamphlet she'd woken up with and the odd currency laid out in front of her as if she were analyzing everything that came with her. As the video started, she was putting down the pendant she had received with a soft sigh.]

La vie est drole... I would commend the audacity of anyone brazen enough to attempt to kidnap me, and the skill to follow through with it. However, cowardice is unappealing. Shoving me into that pod thing was simply uncalled for. As for the hologram claiming this is some other world? You'll forgive me if I maintain some doubts.

I suppose I should introduce myself anyway, should any of that information prove true. My name is Ragyo Kiryuin. I am CEO of the Revocs corporation, and a very powerful woman. It would be in the best interest of my kidnappers to release me and return me to Japan. I have very important work yet to do.

Normally Koishi would be excited about a new arrival. She saw quite a few of them due to how much time she spent at the bay. But this time was a different story. Putting down the rabbit she caught, the little youkai drifted around to the entrance, landing in a tree, ready to greet the new person with open arms- When she stopped. She stared at the woman for several seconds, a hand raising to shield her face from the multicolored light as her eyes gradually lost their glow. Her expression didn't change. She hadn't remembered to change it. But she did remember this woman. The second-hand image had been burned into her mind several years ago.

Cooly she reached into her pocket and withdrew her device, scrolling methodically through her contacts until the one she wanted was highlighted. Tapping it, she waited two rings for it to pick up. "Miss White?" Koishi's facade of humanity had completely slipped, both eyes blackened with her distress. "Remember when my eye opened up?" She didn't wait for a response. "I... There's..." A deep breath. "You should sit down, okay?"

Koishi waited another moment before turning the camera and focusing it on Ragyo.

[weavemyownfate]

An acknowledging, brief 'Mmn.' follows her name.

There's a familiar sounds of something ticking; the timer that Satsuki usually uses when she's exercising. While generally Satsuki would continue her routine as normal, she does come to a stop, her breathing a bit labored as she sits upright- After all, a leading question like that likely isn't going to lead to very good news.

Needless to say, of oall the things to end up in her line of sight, it most certainly wasn't that. At least not today, and it's that hardest blow she's recieved in quite some time.

For a moment she's at a loss for words. As she raises a hand to her forehead her heavy breathing becomes stilted, as if she's choking.

Action!

[enchantressofore]

[ Well, that's certainly one way to get attention.

It's another day where she's taking a walk to clear her head, once again without her dog. She still hasn't been up to socializing at all recently, but maybe she'll make an exception for this. She stands on the beach, staring at the woman coming out of the bay briefly before, out of some obligation to be courteous, she speaks. ]

Have you just arrived, miss...?

Action!

[discomilf]

[Ragyo gives Adela an appraising once-over, with no emotion showing just yet. After a moment, she sighs, allowing her stance to soften. If she was going to be here, might as well start making allies.]

Yes, I have. And Kiryuin. Ragyo Kiryuin.

[disdressing]

Oh, my Lady Ragyo, it's been so dreadful here without you!

[ There's Nui, casually chilling on a rock right outside the bay. Wait, how did she get there, didn't she reapp after Ragyo? How would she even be there so fast? ]

Don't worry about silly things like that! Now, you're interrupting my reuinion with Lady Ragyo, so best you just scoot along, k?

[ AAAAAAH ]

[discomilf]

[Ragyo just walks past Nui, making a small gesture for the girl to follow.]

I'm glad you're here. At the very least I won't be blind in this place... I want to know everything you know, Nui. ...How long have you been here anyway?

[It wasn't unusual for Nui to simply disappear, but this was a bit different. She sounded like she'd been here a while as Ragyo remembered seeing her just a few moments ago. And she's just going to ignore that last bit. Nui could be so confusing at times...]

[sarcastass]

I hate to ruin any possible hopes you might be harboring, but I'm starting to have doubts our 'kidnappers' even totally exist here.

I mean you are totally free to express your distaste with the situation, but I can't promise anyone is listening.

voice

[discomilf]

Perhaps they are listening, perhaps they aren't. In the off chance that they are, I still intend to invite them to use reason. If they aren't, I will simply have to find my way back to my work on my own.

[youfool]

"Kiryuin...oh! You must be related to Star! Well, welcome to Genessia! I'm sure she'll be delighted to see you.

You think the pods are superfluous? I don't know; perhaps they were the only vehicle that would do. You've some insight to their purpose, then?

Oh, before I forget, what is the meaning of 'Ragyo'? I haven't heard that name before."

[Video]

[discomilf]

[Several things serve to earn Ted the Kiryuin matriarch's ire before she even responds. His perky nature for one, and archaic sense of fashion for another.]

...Star? I have no family by that name. As for the pods, they serve only to assert the dominance of our captors. A faux coffin, if you will, mixed in with the subliminal image of emerging from the womb. It is likely whoever is responsible for this is betting on Stockholm syndrome taking hold.

I do not put much stock in the meaning of names. I prefer to let my actions define me rather than a word uttered by those who think they know me simply by virtue of my name.

[There's an asshole garbed in purple that happened to be standing near the Bay with his arms folded. His tilted his head to the side, his eyebrow quirked under the mask.]

Well shit. Look at the Amazing Technicolor Woman over here.

[discomilf]

[Meanwhile, that gets a glare from Ragyo.]

Lovely, a local ruffian. I would suggest you go about your business, or tell your boss that I am most displeased should you work for whoever brought me here.

[whiteas]

Usually when people introduce themselves as "a very powerful" anything, it means they're trying to intimidate people into doing what they want. Unfortunately, most of us who have been here more than a month have heard it about a hundred different times. But I can appreciate the skepticism, though you might want to accept reality sooner than later if you want to succeed in this place.

video;

[discomilf]

Oh I will fully admit that I intend to intimidate our captors, but only them. Nobody else has anything to fear from me, I assure you. I have no intention of making enemies among my peers here, quite the opposite. I will gladly work with any who are attempting to free us of this place.

[kingslight]

[The roll of Regis' eyes herald the sarcasm that is to follow. The King of Light isn't easily impressed by such uncouth displays of gaudiness. Between the ridiculous radiance that seems to shine from the woman's hair and her all too revealing gown, Regis is close to just clicking this ridiculous feed off. Honestly, this woman behaves everything like the despots that Weiss warned him about a week or so ago.

Therefore, Regis is not impressed. Why should he be? This harlot upon the screen is putting on airs.]

Somehow I doubt any kidnapper would want to burden themselves with such a chore.

[The elderly king is dressed in all black as usual with a hint of purple here and there upon his dapper attire. The King of Light has a strange fondness for dark colors despite his illustrious title. His wardrobe matches that of the Lucian flags that once sailed high above the Citadel.

Black is the royal family's color of choice.]

It's a wonder how you haven't blinded yourself by now.

[discomilf]

If you're the kind of precedent their captives have set, I can see why they would not.

[Yeah Ragyo is definitely not amused by the tone. King or not, she really doesn't care.]

I suppose it is only natural for one to grow accustomed to their own radiance. You should try it some time. I would gladly rescue you from that drab outfit of yours.

Video

[have_hat_will_travel]

Hm. I'm sure, by now, you've heard about the... Nature of this place. At least, as those of us here know it. Given so many impossible things, at least by the standards of my world, I encountered on the first day...

... Well, real or not, it's an interesting place.

Video

[discomilf]

Yes, so I've been seeing. I'm still not sure if I'm convinced about all these different worlds, but it is fascinating to say the least.

[innocent_royal]

[A young girl appears on the feed, looking to have just finishing making herself pretty after a gentle hair brushing and picking out a nice outfit. What got her attention was the name. As assertive as she sounds, this woman might be friendly.]

"Pardon my asking, but you said your name is Kiryuin? Do you, by any chance, share a relation with Satsuki Kiryuin?"

Video;

[discomilf]

[Anastasia doesn't look like the type of person Satsuki would keep around, but then again, Satsuki never shied from the spotlight either. Regardless, Ragyo was curious as to just how the two were connected.]

Oh? A friend of my daughter's are you?

[ video ]

[deathsought]

{ The name "Kiryuin" stands out to him; he'd met Satsuki on multiple occasions, and she tried to recruit him as a teacher once for her academy. Her introduction made him sigh before he grabbed his device to respond. Another one, he thinks to himself, though he wasn't quite getting Freeza vibes, yet. That's a good sign, at least. }

Unfortunately, that is one of the great unanswered questions, here. I have been here for over a year, now, and to this day, we still have little to no information on who, or what brought us to this world.

[ video ]

[discomilf]

[Ragyo doesn't reply for a long moment, looking over the information laid out on the table in front of her, tapping a finger on the table with an unsatisfied hum.]

That could prove to be a problem... Hopefully this doesn't set my time tables back too far, but c'est la vie. I appreciate the input. I will have to make finding a way out of this place my top priority.

[icyheart]

If they wanted to release you, they wouldn't have brought you here in the first place, no matter who you are or status.

[Just gonna say it like it is.]

[discomilf]

In that case, I will simply have to show them the error of their ways.

[space_jesus]

[Commenting on the pun that is this woman's company's name would be childish, immature, and beneath him, so chaos will just ignore it - for now. Besides, there are more important things to take note of - like that light show she has going on. It's most certainly not the same phenomenon that causes his own, but he recognizes the effects of power when he sees it, even when it's an alien sort.]

Whatever force or being is responsible for bringing us here has no regard for station or power, and it's very good at hiding itself from prying eyes.

[Owing to his quest for clothes some weeks prior, chaos is now wearing a full bodysuit of some ultramodern design, coupled with what appear to be the loose, baggy pants of a martial arts costume of some description. He is, in other words, a fashion disaster.]

[Video]

[discomilf]

[Ragyo simply shrugs and takes a sip of her coffee.]

It was worth a try at any rate. I suppose I'll simply find my own way out.

[Video]

[poshture]

[ Her being a CEO of any sort has his attention immediately - it might seem irrelevant in a separate world such as this, but with the help of subarchways her resources might be obtainable.

Meaning she might be useful, so it's best to grease the wheels early.

He's smiling, all courtesy and respect as he gives a brief nod of his head towards the camera. ]

Good day, Miss. Kiryuin! Or... perhaps not-so-good, given our mutual predicament, but I think problems are opportunities in disguise. My name is Whitley Schnee - I see you've spoken to several people already, including my sister who you may recognize from the hologram you spoke of. I don't wish to burden you with any repeated information, but should you have any questions or concerns I'll do my best to address them for you.

[Video]

[discomilf]

[Well this is a nice change of pace. She's just going to smirk as Whitley makes his introduction.]

Aha, miss Schnee's brother hmm? Interesting. I must admit, I'm pleased to have encountered the two of you. So helpful. I am curious as to just what the people around here do for clothing. I must admit that the materials I've been seeing near just the... Bay was it? The materials seem... low quality at best. I prefer having a certain standard of quality in my wardrobe after all.
