Well, what do we have here?

[And the screen flicks on to reveal... a sight familiar to some, less familiar to others. A woman, with blonde hair and striking purple eyes, wearing what looks to be a bonnet with a red ribbon tied around it.]

Interesting, that it's just like the Outside here, except there's far less people. And very interesting taste in foliage. [She motions to one of the rainbow trees behind her.]

I've already come to the assumption I'm not in an Outside World I know of, but likely another one. I don't need to know the where of this place [She's figuring that out on her own] but I am rather curious as to if anyone has a good guess to the why.

And for those of you who need to know who is addressing you - I am Yukari Yakumo, Youkai of Borders. [She's not feeling very 'youkai-like' today, though. Must be the chip.]

It sounds like you don't get out much.

[video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

Quite the contrary, I get out a lot.

Just not out to here.

[video]

[tapdancinskelly]

Oh. I simply assumed that you didn't since you referred to it as "The Outside" which usually is only used when one stays mostly inside.

Re: [video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

Oh but I do stay inside. I live in a world inside a world. A world inside a world inside a world, in fact.

[Marisa takes her time with this response. She was getting over the fact that they got Yukari here. And it was not her playing a massive joke. Once she got herself composed enough to at least hide her shock, she turns the video on.]

So they got ya too ze? I guess they want some sort of messed up reunion around here.

[Video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

'They'? Who is this 'they', Marisa?

[Yukari, on the other hand, doesn't show much by means of 'shock'... ever.]

[stardustreverie]

From what I've been told? Some people called 'Scientists' grab us and put somethin' in us to make us powerless. Then they let us loose in this place ta survive I guess. Monsters and other stuff roamin' about the place too.

[She was in a informative mood all of a sudden. But she was still concerned. If they got Yukari..Who was next?]

Although I guess any hope on them leavin' everyone else back home just got blasted huh?

[Nope, was not expecting an answer to that. She had a feeling she knew it already but felt like voicing it.]

Re: [Video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

... Interesting.

I shall have to see about these scientists.

Do you know what they put in you to make you powerless?

[Video]

[then_there_were_none]

...oh. You're back.

[Someone seems to be Displeased.]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

[And a grumpy little vampire? Her day is made.

Though the words do give her a little pause, and she racks her brain. No, even with her bad Old Youkai memory, she wouldn't have forgotten this...]

Back? I've no recollection of a 'before'.

[Video]

[then_there_were_none]

[Some of that grumpy dissipates a bit in a sigh.

It's still an exasperated sound, though.]

...of course you don't.

Re: [Video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

And why would I?

[video]

[ilyana]

The trees here... they do seem rather pretty.

Re: [video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

They are. Though very... odd. And the fact they grow from the sewers, it seems, in places makes them...


... Very odd indeed.

[video]

[ilyana]

They... grow from the sewers? Maybe that is the reason for their peculiar color?

Re: [video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

It could be. I'm not so sure. Makes you wonder what is down there to make them... grow as such. I wouldn't think waste water and a lack of sunlight would be so conducive, but then, I am not an expert on flowers.

-Complete lack of enthusiasm...-

Oh boy, here we go...

Re: [video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

Oh goodness, I think that's supposed to be my line, fairy.

Re: [video]

[baka_jyanai]

YEAH, WELL, I said it, so there!

[video; Japanese?]

[bauhinia]

You said youkai? [ He's not even going to address anything else yet. One question at a time... ]

[video; Japanese...!]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

I did say youkai, yes.

[video; Japanese!]

[bauhinia]

Sorry, I haven't heard that in a while. Not here, anyway.

[video]

[gochuugoku]

If you mean why we are here, the scientists claim it is so we can bring life back to this planet, but I believe there's something more to it than that, aru.

Re: [video]

[endless_clouds_of_violet]

Oh goodness, but I can't have children. However are we supposed to bring life to a planet like that?

[video]

[gochuugoku]

[He blushes a bit.]

...I don't know if they mean it that way, or not, but that is a good question. All the time I have spent here, I have seen nearly no natives of this planet. I heard that one of our groups found an entire populated walled city in the woods once, but it's gone now. Only a huge crater remains in its place.

I should know since I saw the crater myself.
