1st Song ☠ | Introduction

Characters: Eikichi (Michel) and whatever poor sap would like to talk with him.
Setting: And floor, all the corridors, day and night, it's all up to you, he'll be running around.
Format: I started in prose, but you can pick a style, and I'll match it!
Summary: Eikichi finds himself in the tower and everything is terrible.
Warnings: Eikichi is a warning onto himself.

Victory had never been so bittersweet. After defeating the Great Father, finding out the entire thing had been a bet between Philemon and Nyarlathotep, the world destroyed and with Maya stuck by the spear ending her life, all that had remained was a chance giving to them to go back in time. However, they'd have to give up their memories their friendships of each other. Considering the fate of the world and their friend was at stake, it was a heavy price that Eikichi did not mind to give up willingly. After all, friendship was more powerful than the bonds of space and time, he thought and even if they had not met as children, he was certain they'd see each other one day again.

But now, here he was, inside a tower and a note that his world had been destroyed. No shit, it had been destroyed. Needless to say, Eikichi wasn't too pleased. Goddamnit, all of this, everything around him, a cruel joke, ALL FOR NOTHING?! Had this been Philemon's fault...oh just wait until that butterfly masked asshole came to talk again, he was going to get a fist to the face.

Well, now that he was here, he could make the most of it, he supposed. Eikichi wasn't expecting to find his friends - what with the word having ended, after all, and somewhat guilty that he still had his memories intact. Hopefully the world ending hadn't been his fault. He'd never forgive himself--yeah best not to think about it. He opened up his trunk and found his guitar case in thirty or so smaller pieces. Yet it looked somewhat easy to rebuilt, even for him, and before long the pieces clamped together like a jigsaw puzzle. The Lgendary Guitar Case was made whole again. Swinging it over his shoulders, he closed the door to his room, and walked out.

Media Floor because I love fictional people interacting with technology.

[Kuja seems to have found a DVD player, which rests on his lap and seems to be playing.... an opera? He seems enraptured by it, but glances up politely as Eikichi enters his sight.

>Greet
>Go over
>Abscond

Kuja would totally love The Barber Of Seville

[Kuja would rather continue his opera - the barber had just disguised himself as a tutor to woo his love! - but he had to be well-mannered in this new place. Besides, he had already found the button which temporarily stopped the video. Marvelous!]

I'm not sure of the official name, but it says "DVD" right here, so I assume it has to do with that... It plays disks with video on them! Not quite as good as being there in person, but at least one doesn't need opera glasses.

[titter, titter.]

Kuja's idea of technology is mostly between Gaia's steampunk and the magitek of Terra

[Kuja presses a couple of buttons to pop out the disc, holding it out by the center hole to Eikichi.]

They're different than the sort of discs I know... Do you recognize them?

Oh, so you have heard of them? You have the advantage of me there.

["The future"? Maybe in his world, then.]

It muse be strange to see an efficient version of what was once cutting-edge technology.

[Kuja takes the DVD back, putting it back into the player but not turning it on again.]

It's hard to tell, sometimes. On the world I came from, most machines operated on Mist, but were starting to switch to steam technology. I find out here that such things are considered woefully out of date.

[Not that he didn't consider it already, considering the higher technological possibilities of Terra, but no one needed to hear that.]

[Gas?]

Don't misunderstand, "Mist" is not merely a water-based fog, but a substance that had great potential... it can even make monsters. Of course, that makes the proximity of Mist-powered machines dangerous, so steam was gaining popularity as a safer, more powerful alternative.

Electricity would make a good source of energy, though, especially since it could be produced so easily on my planet.

[personal profile] fallen_stage 2012-04-22 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
No, no, only in areas in the wild where there are dense clumps of it do monsters form from it. If controlled and used in an engine, there's no danger of that happening - the concentration of Mist is far too weak to make anything dangerous.

[And if anyone's an expert on how Mist works, it's Kuja.]

So whatever a "tivi" is, it wouldn't suddenly spring out a monster, not ever at the generator.

[Into what? Was that a sort of monster..?]

Since I don't know what a "shadowman" is, I couldn't say.

[Not the most elegant subject change, but Kuja doesn't mind: he can wait to sate his curiosity.]

By the Gaian calender, it was 1800. I don't suppose it would mean much to you, since we may not be from the same planet at all.

[personal profile] fallen_stage 2012-04-24 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
A what?

[sigh]

No, I think we might be from different planets. Unless... tell me the name of your planet and describe its continents, please.

[Don't worry kiddo, that answers Kuja's answer perfectly.]

Five or six... No, far too many for Gaia. The only way it could be the same if there was continental drift to create more landmasses, but then there would be too much time between us to make any difference.

[Really? that's your concern? Kuja snorts, chuckling. What a silly guy.]

No more or less than any other girls, I should think. It really depends on your personal tastes.
