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.))

[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.

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.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

Correct, a barrier. Nothing physical or mental can escape it.

[and he nods. she's been well informed :D] You have been told about the death policy as well?

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

[She looks up at him, interested in this new information.]

No, I haven't. Care to share?

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

People - enemies or friends - who have died in your own world can and likely will show up here alive. On top of that, if you're killed in this world, you'll be brought back to life after an average of two weeks time.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

That's...interesting.

[And disturbing. It certainly broadened the pool of people who could arrive and target her or anyone she knows, and made keeping her secret even more important than ever.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

It certainly makes for severe inconveniences sometimes. [a pause as he reconsiders her tone] It is also possible for a permanent loss to change.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

I haven't noticed this supposed "loss" yet. I'm fine.

[She lies like a lying liar that lies.]

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

[raises an eyebrow! he's onto your game, samus] Well, assuming you do discover what it is, I suppose you can take relief in the fact that it may not be truly permanent.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

Yes, I suppose I can. Not that I'm eager to die to figure out what changes.

[thisisyimhot.livejournal.com]

Dying is not the only option. Others have changed losses simply by being knocked unconscious or experiencing a temporary loss prior.

[screwattack.livejournal.com]

I suppose this it that "random bouts of insanity" that you mentioned, then.

[She's somewhat curious what his loss is, since she can't notice anything, but it'd be hypocritical of her to ask, so she doesn't.]
