Diamond 1: Emma Frost [In Person]

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[One of the bedroom doors bursts open and a blond woman dressed all in white walks out. She looks from side to side, cautiously, before walking down the hall.]

Scott? Hank? Logan?

[She stops, closes her eyes and presses her hands to the sides of her head. For a moment she is quiet, then she looks confused, and a little worried.]

...where am I?

Well, the welcome packet (http://hell-is-silent.livejournal.com/1457.html) describes the situation, but as for where we are ... it doesn't really make sense.

Conan-kun told me it's like a science fiction movie in that people are here from worlds where things happen differently.

Ah, thank you.

So this is a crossroads of the dimensions? (Great.) Well, I've dealt with worse, I suppose...

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

That's one way of putting it, I suppose! At the moment, no one's really sure ...

This isn't the first time that something like this has happened for you?

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Well, not this, exactly, but I was just on another planet two weeks ago. [Let's not discuss that too much, okay?] And the people I associate with have been through far worse. Time travel and all the mess that entails...

[Another planet? Time travel? That is-- something else.]

You're probably more used to this place than the people who've already been here more than a few weeks. That's ...

Ah, sorry! Even if you do know about stuff like this, it's still disconcerting when it happens. There'll be a door here with your name on it -- it's yours! And there's the kitchen, the music room ... you'll find all of that on the map.

It looks like a fairly civilized place. [Better than the Breakworld, anyway.] I'm sure I'll be able to find everything.

Oh...I haven't introduced myself. Manners. Emma Frost.

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

I hope you'll have better luck with me on that front!

Nice to meet you, Frost-san. I'm Mouri Ran.

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

Shall I call you Ran, then?

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

If you'd like to! Is there anything else you're wondering about, Frost-san?

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

[Probably nothing that Ran can help her with.]

I suppose we're stuck here. No one's tried to escape before, have they? Or perhaps talked to whatever brought us here?

[always-strength.livejournal.com]

The Author? I don't think so -- but I could be wrong. For those kind of questions, it's better to go to Eddie-san, I think. He certainly seems to know a lot about this place!

[my-own-friend.livejournal.com]

It might be foolish to try, but if no one's done it...

Mmm. Then I shall find him.
