003//Samus Aran

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[There's a woman in a Power Suit sitting outside in the rain. Occasionally she'll remove her helmet to feel the rain on her face, even as it intensifies the longer she sits outside, but if she thinks she hears someone coming, she'll put it on very quickly. If you're quick enough, quiet enough, or just use the sound of the rain to your advantage, you can probably catch a glimpse of her without her helmet.

She has her journal lying near her, open, sheltered by a makeshift canopy of whatever she could find.]

So what do people do around this place? I don't necessarily mean to entertainment, just...in general. Is there some sort of mission? Are there people intending to accomplish something?

((OOC: Open to whoever's wandering by outside, or you can just respond to the voice entry.))

[It's his lucky day: he manages to catch her with her helmet off, although she puts it on a moment later and jumps when she sees him there.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[and a blink in her direction. was he not supposed to see that?]

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[No, he wasn't supposed to. But no harm done, because he apparently didn't notice what she was really hiding with her helmet off.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[..well then. he nods politely in her direction!]

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[She nods back at him, a little awkwardly since she's n a big, clunky suit of armor.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[a pause, glancing at the canopy again.] Do you live out here, or is this a temporary establishment?

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

Temporary. Not a lot of rain where I'm from.

[She closes the journal that's open next to her.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

I see. I assume there are no umbrellas, then.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

I suppose there aren't. I've never even heard of them.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[rofl, he happens to have one, he just wasn't going to open it until he got closer to the city; but he holds it out and opens it to demonstrate]

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[She scans the umbrella with her visor, adding it to her computer. And for the hell of it, scans how far away that he is, although she's getting better at judging by sound.]

I see. So...it's a portable rain shelter?

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

That's correct. And a rather lightweight one, at that.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

That's...interesting.

[She doesn't sound too terribly interested, considering she's usually in a suit that protects against even acidic rain.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[leaves it open, since he was going to open it soon anyways. and he's analyzing her with his own eyes, which are a creepy red :D;]

I take it you are a fairly new arrival.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[Samus can't see the change in his eyes, considering she's completely colorblind with her visor on, and it's not sensitive enough in this rain to pick up on the glow.]

Been here for a few days.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[a nod, just as he thought] It seems you are settling fairly well.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[She's oblivious to the fact that he's more or less figured her loss out.]

As well as can be expected. I'm a little...restless.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[sldfkdf HE DID? LOL.]

It does take awhile to get accustomed to the random bouts of insanity.

[*Gives Itachi a Kewpie doll*]

I haven't encountered any yet. Except for the rain, it's just been...quiet. Journal entries are the most signs of life I've really encountered.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[SHH DON'T TELL ANYONE HE LIKES CUTE THINGS. and a pause goes here.] Have you been inside the castle?

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[MY LIPS ARE SEALED. And she nods.] I started out inside the castle. I've looked it over from top to bottom. I just recently ended up out here.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

The castle is usually rather lively at most times of the day.

[points at the city] There is quite a bit to see in that direction, as well.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[She wonders if he's starting to connect the dots about her loss for the first time. She has no idea what could have given it away, though.]

So I've been told. I think I'll wait until I'm sure I've explored everything here, though. It seems like whatever brought us here is localized in this place.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[MAYBE. JUST MAYBE. He doesn't really realize it's a loss, though, and he knows how much it sucks to have poor vision since he does too without his Sharingan, so he won't pry.]

Localized ... perhaps. It seems to me it is everywhere, yet nowhere at the same time. A presence that cannot be detected by anyone from any world.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

My computer systems haven't detected anything, either. And I can't get any transmissions out, but I was warned about that before I even tried. It seems there's some sort of nullification field on this planet. And yes, I've been told this is a different universe than the one I started in.
