Tch. Now that I'm stuck here, what the heck am I supposed to do here?

...I don't even know where I am. This is such a pain.

And what do you guys do about food?

I am not whining. It's not like this place is some normal civilized town where I could just buy stuff. It looks all old and decrepit...

I meant, as in some purpose for being here, or are we just here for the sake of taking up space?

Hunt?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Did nobody read you the ol' riot act, or what?

This is Discedo. It used to be a town but got wrecked by a virus called Atropos, and maybe also got torn up by some kind of war with a neighbor-city, Accido.

Everyone arrives here now pretty much like you did, and its some idiot scientists controlling everyone, deciding who comes and goes. They usually don't talk to us unless to poke fun, so...steer clear of them. We don't really know why we're here, they've been pretty vague about practically everything important.

Hunting. You know. With a sword or a knife or a gun.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

I got bits and pieces of stuff. That makes a bit more sense now...

Kind of. So do you just roam around finding civilization, or what? And all these cans and stuff... in those empty buildings? So you can just loot the places, pretty much?

Sword, knife or gun... none of which made the weapons menu, obviously.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Hah, civilization? In Discedo? We've barely got that. But no one'll stop you from looting the place, yeah, and we even think these Scientists with their headgames fill the place back up now and then, otherwise we'd have run out long ago.

So basically play along with this dumb survival game like the rest of us, till we can find out enough of where they are and what they're made of to take them out and make them send whoever wants to go back home.

Too bad for you then, you'll need to get one made. Find enough good metal and go see one of the Elric brothers.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Oh. Great.

Whoever... wants to go home? You mean some people like this dump?

Good metal... as in...?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Some of us don't have much to call a home to start with, so...and some people here are supposed to be dead where they're from. So I don't know how that would work out, trying to go back.

Strong scrap? I wouldn't really know. I showed up here with my sword.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Ah... I can understand that. Still sounds like a crappy place, but I guess everyone's gotta start somewhere, huh?

Hn. I only brought my struggle bat... eh, I'll figure it out.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

A start is a start...

Ahah, so wait! You've got one of those dorky blue puffy clubs? Like Hayner? Oh great, Pillowbat's got a pal!

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Yeah...

They're not dorky, they--Pillowbat?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Hayner's faaavorite new nickname.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

That is priceless! Chicken wuss needs a few more of those. Mind if I use it?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Chicken Wuss? No kidding. That's even better. No copyrights here.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Heh, you're growin' on me. So tell me, what's your name?

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Prydain. Been here over a year, so if you really need all the ropes shown and spelled out, I'm one of the better people to know.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Prydain, huh... Seifer.

Mind if I take you up on that offer? It beats roaming around for a few days.

1/2

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Seifer, huh. Couldn't be... Or maybe there's another one out there with that name.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Sure, sure, if you want.

Meet me at the corner of Lander and Gohl. Gohl's the north-most street in this city, Lander's sort of our bridge-street between the apartments...the church is there on it, so is the park and the big hunk of rubble that used to be an elementary school. Gohl's a block above that.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Lander and Gohl... Alright, I'll find it.

But what's this about another Seifer? It's not a very common name, you know.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

It's not, is it?

When I first came to Discedo, not very long after, there was someone with that name. Long gone. I don't think he's you.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

I didn't think so, but if some other guy has it... random.

It probably wasn't me. I've never seen this place in my life.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Well, the scientists have brought people away and back again, without memories, but...

No, you don't sound like him. This other Seifer was all big talk.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

...really now?

How arrogant. Can't just be snarky without being able to prove yourself in a battle.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

Says the guy who came with his Struggle Bat.

Actually, you should spar with Ness. He uses a bat too, he's pretty good.

[beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com]

Aw, shut up. I can still whoop some ass with this.

Ness, huh... sounds like fun. Once I find whatever server everyone else is on, I'll definitely get right on that.

[not-riku-thx.livejournal.com]

I'd like to see you try.

He'll be a good starter for you at least, I think. He lives with me. I'll introduce you.
