[This video transmission is showing what looks like the afermath of a terrible struggle. The broken tree trunks, torn branches, and shattered rocks strewn about mark what's left of a simple forest grove. Near its center, the carcass of a mutant bear lies slumped by a boulder. Look closely and you'll see several of its torso bones have been snapped as if from repeated sledgehammer blows. A throwing axe a few times larger than the average tomahawk lies buried in its half-cleaved skull. The thing has been dead for about half an hour. Maybe more.]

...fool to let your guard down. You deserved this.

[Then the camera pans left to reveal a man's face. Long brown hair, strongly built, scar over one eye... bleeding from the cheek and forehead. We were obviously seeing the mini-wastleand from over his shoulder, though unintentionally.]

If the instructions on this... thing are correct, this is some means of contacting other people here. Wherever that happens to be; I am clearly not in Wallachia, though the darkness here is not entirely dissimilar.

Let us put it to the test then. The name is Trevor Belmont. Is anyone out there? What is going on here and who is responsible?


((OOC: One of the new mutant bears jumped Trevor minutes after his arrival, while he was figuring out how to use the communicator. The ensuing fight took place in the northwest woods, so feel free to have heard or even witnessed the brawl.))

Hn.

No, you're a long way from where you hail from. However, parties responsible... if memory serves right, it's either that tower or the gods.

[His response takes a moment or two, what with feeling his way through this technology.]

Then I must not even be on my world, fantastic as that sounds.

Yonder tower then, on the horizon. But gods? Who are they and why bring us here? [steel sliding into his tone; after what just happened, he's totally not in a good mood]

[And here Clare thought she was terrible with these communication devices. Still calm, still stoic as ever.]

That would be the one; it was mentioned in passing it was a gate to this place.

And the gods' intent to bring us here is unknown.

Woah! That's another new one! New monsters all over the place!

You're in a place called World's End. People from...well, all kinds of other worlds show up here. It's sort of a city, but crummier. We get by mostly okay, though. You say the darkness is almost the same as home?

I'm Riqis.

Well met, Riqis.

'Tis true; like this "World's End", darkness holds great sway over my homeland. Moreso when the sun sets. ][pause] But if there are people living here well enough, it must be bearable.

I am currently in some woodlands. Where do I find this city?

From: [identity profile] myownmemory.livejournal.com
Most of the nastier monsters come out after dark. But that's just how the darkness is.

I can bear it alright, but you'll hear a lot of complaining.

Well...you could be in a couple different directions. Can you see the shore from there? Or maybe the Organization's castle? You could be to the north or to the east. There's a river, that runs along the north.

Or a pagoda, that's on the South end of the city.

Wallachia, huh?

Yeah, there's plenty of people out there. And hell if we know -- I guess whoever deemed we were due for another creature invasion.

You have heard of it?

It almost sounds like we are here for someone's amusement. They play with fire doing so...

From: [identity profile] axionestin.livejournal.com
In texts, but- Never mind.

Wouldn't be too far from the truth, probably. There's no point in dwelling on it, this place changes quite a bit.

Interesting. I see you've already met quite the welcoming party.

As for what is going on here, you have arrived at a...crossroads of sorts. At least, that is my understanding. A place that draws those of strong destiny, and those connected to them. The entities that do so keep much secreted, but there are known by name as Ihy and Discordia...and the Crimson King, if I might dare to include him among them still?

Date: 2010-02-01 07:28 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] poweroflegend.livejournal.com
I should like to know what they want with us, but no one seems to have the answer to that. [rests a fist under his chin] This Crimson King: he is their overlord?

Date: 2010-02-01 07:36 am (UTC)
From: [identity profile] illusivetactics.livejournal.com
It's well worth investigating, though few expend the energy to even consider the possibilities.

I wouldn't imagine the Crimson King's agenda aligns well with the Boy-God, Ihy. But as for Discordia...well. There is a definite connection, be it an alliance or a rivalry or a subjugation that took place. It's all kept rather shrouded from us.

From what I've heard so far, I am glad as well. [splashes cold water on his face, washing off the blood there] There have been many similar attacks before, I take it?

Tell me of this world you come from, hm? It is not often one of your strength appears.

From: [identity profile] poweroflegend.livejournal.com
...thank you. I am both gladdened and disheartened to know that.

Wallachia is a strife-torn land where vampires and other monsters not unlike that one rule the night. 'Tis my duty to hunt their ilk down and keep humans safe.

Luck has little to do with matters of life and death, or at least as I understand it. But I was speaking more of your presence; those who possess the strength to slay such a monster and walk away with naught but a few injuries are rare in World's End. I expect you might find your talents asked for, once you have settled yourself.

There are people here - it sounds like they've told you where to go and things, though if you need someone to come and help you, I can try and help.

I think the Gods are responsible though, sir, which means you're stuck here - just like the rest of us. None of us actually belong here.

That is very kind of you, but I will soon be on my way to the city with a guide. Thank you all the same; I will keep you in mind for the future.

A notion I am coming to realize for myself. Made even more disturbing by our purpose here being a mystery.
