genessia | 01: Back again? Not quite. [OPEN VIDEO]

Uhm... Hello. Nehra I hope I have this device working properly...

[ When the feed clicks on it shows a frazzled girl, sighing and rubbing the back of her neck. Of all things to happen, she wasn't expecting this. Still, she doesn't waste any more time and looks at the device again. In the background it's clear that she hasn't left the bay yet, or even the cave, but it might be apparent that she's still near the holographic projection Weiss left for newcomers. ]

I... I suppose I should say it is nice to meet you all, whoever you may be. I will admit, when I went to bed, I was not expecting to wake up in a strange new world.

[ She pauses, seeming uncertain before trying to shake it off and continuing. ]

Should any of you know the name "Nautilus", please let me know? In the meantime, I suppose I will make my way to communal housing and try to figure things out from there. So, ah... Good to meet you, again, and I suppose I will see some of you soon.

[ And she's going to turn off that video in a hurry, Nehra that was awkward and hard to do.

True to her word she's going to be at the Bay, stepping out of the cave with her things in tow and looking around. At least it looks like it's summer here too, but just what in the world is Genessia? ]

Pardon?

[ Oh no not again. She looks a little distressed now, frowning in her worry. ]

I... I suppose I should thank you for that, but I do not recall your name or face, sir.

[ She's starting to hate herself for not knowing any of this now, shrinking on the spot as she tries to answer the question asked. ]

Nautilus is known as the city of change, where thought becomes reality. It is a strange place, one I had barely become accustomed to before I was apparently whisked off to this place.

Wait.

Aw shit so yer a 'nother Adela?

Sorry 'bout that first message then, sweetheart. Forgot y' mighta been a newb.

Name's Namur.

Another Adela?

[ She repeats the words, brows raising at the comment, but before she can ask Namur's already on another topic. ]

Uhm... Good to meet you, Namur. And yes, I suppose I am a "newb" as you so put it to all this. It is not the first time I have come across strange technologies like this, nor is this the first strange world I have awoken in, but ah... Just what do you mean "another Adela"?

[Namur sort of shrugs as he runs his hand through his hair, looking immensely uncomfortable.]

'Nother girl. You, basically, but she got differnt mem'ries an' shit from bein' here so she's differnt, catch me? 'S like. Uh. Like a remix. Only... of a person, not jus' a song.

I think I see? It would be as if I arrived here but with a different set of memories, right? It would be for the best to treat it as if the Adela before was a different person with my face, name, and habits I suppose -- that is, if I understand you correctly.

More or less. Only sometimes even if y' got the same mem'ries y' react t' 'em differnt. 'S weird. But anyway, yeah. Tryna think a y' as someone new's kinda the best way a dealin' with it. Hell, y' might even meet someone here that y' knowed in the Nautilus place that ain't never been there 'fore, aye? Jus' never know, really. Anyway y' had a lotta friends 'round here, so yer gonna have a lotta folk wantin' t' help y' out. Still, if y' ever need anythin' from a fishman, lemme know, yeah?

Someone from Nautilus that would arrive here but not have those memories?

[ She frowns at the thought, trying to understand... And really not liking the sound of it. If she found familiar faces, they might not know who she was? It would only make sense for it to work both ways, but even so... Nehra she's not sure she's ready to deal with that. ]

... I shall, thank you. Namur, is it? Just to be certain I have your name correct.

Right as rain, sweetheart. Tell me 'bout the folk y' met on the other side, eh? 'S weird but people kinda follow each other 'round through differnt worlds, whether they knowed 'bout 'em from 'fore or not.

Well...

[ She seems thoughtful, taking her time in figuring out just how she wants to word things. ]

... I was staying at a restaurant, at least for a while. [ Conveniently leaving out the part where she's about to ask to stay more permanently, it's not an important detail right? ] It is called the Dream of the All Blue. The top two floors were converted to housing space, and the bottom floor is the restaurant itself. Currently I was living with quite a few people -- Miss Rose, Zoro, Sanji-Chan, Franky, and Ace. They are interesting people to say the least.

[ She sighs after a beat, rubbing the back of her neck. ]

Nehra, I will have to keep up my training while I am here... It will be strange to not have them around here, though.

I had other acquaintances...

...

Friends, there as well. Uhm... Things had become terrible recently, with someone trying to take over Nautilus, threatening death and destruction to everyone if we did not bow to his rule. We still have not found out just what we need to do, other than to build our strength to fight against him. Not one of us stands a chance alone, but together we just might.

Shit, I know lotsa folk with them same names. What're the odds, huh? What kinda trainin' was y' doin'?
