Kokoro Ito

"Kokoro Ito, a pleasure to make your acquaintance. Do you have any idea where we are?" Kokoro asked, bowing as she did so. The entire situation seemed strange... but something in her mind told her that she wasn't supposed to try and make sense of any of it. Once she saw Akira, she decided to wave back to him.

Karina Cloverfield
------------------

"I suppose so. It seems as though there are other worlds with people on them... how odd. I doubt I'll carry that knowledge when I return home though." Karina said, taking a seat near Saburo and the others. The entire situation was rather odd to be certain, but it seemed as though it did indeed make sense in some way. Now that terms like 'non-canon' were mentioned, she decided not to question the strange situation she was in.

Ewyn
------------------

"I'm not exactly sure. You could ask me a few questions, but that's only if you are willing to ask them. If you do though, then I will do my best to answer them." Ewyn responded, bowing in greeting.

Isao Alfons
------------------

"Henry, is that you? Whatever happened to you anyway? I suppose it might not be for the best if I try to find out answers here though. To think there would be other worlds... fascinating." Isao said, taking off his top hat. He put it back on, and then focused on what was happening. He had a book on hand, but perhaps it would be more interesting to talk to the others here.

Desmond thought for a minute. How...DID he get here? He just went with the flow. He saw this interesting building and just...entered it. There isn't anything he remembered besides that. These people...They looked like they were from different dimensions and timelines...No, that's just silly. It is still 2314 right?

"Say, Kokoro...What year do you think it is?"

Kokoro adjusted her glasses, rather confused by Demond's question. Still, there had to be a logical explanation for it. The area was strange enough... the least they could do was find out more about it.

"The year? I believe it's 2011, is it not? I can't say I keep a constant focus on the time, but I am certain of it." Kokoro responded.

Akira smiled. "So, Ito-San, have you ever thought it odd that your first name is Japanese for 'heart'? A little weird, especially since we're supposed to be Japanese..."

He laughed a bit before taking a drink from his soda can. "But then again, my surname is "Shadow God"... Or "Shadow Hair". Or "Shadow Paper"... I don't even know what that means!"

He sighed. "Hey, Shi-chan, can we trade writers?"

Saburo took another swig from his latest Sake glass. He slipped out a knive and waved it around.

"So, who wants to play Russian Roulette?"


Meanwhile, Atlantis smiled at his fellow Mage, glad to be acknowledged.

"It's just that... I'm new to Endless Time, and I'm worried; what if thw others think I'm a rip-off of you?"

Desmond looked shocked. It was true. Everyone here...They had to be from some different timelines or dimensions. "B-But...I'm from the year 2314!"

Suddenly, the face of shock turned into one of excitement. This place...there was so much mystery to it. It was...AMAZING! AND EXCITING! "THIS IS AWESOME! BEWARE, IN THE YEAR 2299, DO NOT GO TO DRALAN!" He soared around the bar. "WE'VE GOT A MYSTERY ON OUR HANDS! HELL YEAH!"

Jacob's head shot toward the kid. "Did someone say mystery?"

Shiori facepalmed. "I've had enough mysteries..." She turned to Akira. "I dunno. It'd be interesting I guess."

Kokoro Ito

"I suppose it is somewhat strange, though my writer apparently got the name from another character, or a Japanese song they heard once. At the very least, it is an actual name." Kokoro answered.

Ewyn
-----------------

"Please don't worry. Actually, another person described us as almost complete opposites. Both of us are similarly aged... you are 16, and I am nearing that age, and we are both powerful dark mages. However, the similarities stop there. My writer made it so that I come across as very strange, but a lot wiser than most others think. I am also meant to be kind-hearted, and I am extremely frail. So while we do share quite a few similarities, I don't think anyone will call you a rip-off of me." Ewyn responded to Atlantis, smiling a small smile.

Akira jolted upright again. "I was only kidding, Shi-chan! Shadowsleuth is the greatest!!"

He slumped back onto the bar, sobbing slightly, but instantly returned to his normal self.

Atlantis grinned in relief. "Oh, thank goodness! So, can I ask you one more question?"

"Go ahead, I don't mind." Ewyn said. He wasn't used to being asked so many questions, but it didn't bother him. He checked to make sure he had everything with him... he was still carrying his bag, and everything he had with him. What he had with him would probably adjust depending on what happened in Endless Time, but that was just what he thought.

Atlantis smiled joyfully. "How do I destroy the world?"

Shiori looked desperate, which was very out of character for her. "C'mon, I hate being controlled by Wackyman! He's writing me out of character!" she whined.


Shiori rolled her eyes. "Like anyone cares how you feel," she sighed. "Just write me in character..."

After jumping up and down in excitement for a while, Desmond suddenly got bored. So he decided to go back to Trama in her booth. He lunged onto the comfy leather and looked up toward Trama. "It's me again!" he said.

"I missed you," she said bitterly sarcastic.

Desmond sat up properly and swung his legs back and forth. He just watched Trama eat her popsicle, which annoyed her greatly. Eventually, Desmond spoke up. "Seriously, lemme have the earrings."

Trama growled again in frustration. She took off her earrings and flung them at him. "Take 'em! I have another pair just like them!"

Desmond's eyes glistened and his mouth drooled as he held the diamonds in his hand. He threw his hand up in air and shouted: "TODAY IS MY DAY!"

"I can't answer that, since there are many methods in which that could be accomplished. Since the world includes my parents, I would rather not help you destroy that. I hope you understand. Maybe the thin air can help you though. You might want to try getting help from the Military Ration Army." Ewyn responded. It was obvious from his tone that he was being completely serious.

"I love you all." Reyson said, smiling.
