[there's anxious looking blond on screen, clearly walking through the halls in an attempt to figure out what's going on, casting the occasional furtive look over his shoulder.]

Ah-- Hello. I'm not sure I'm using this right-- it operates like a relic from a century ago...-- but if you can hear me, could you tell me where I am? I'm lost and I don't-- I don't know how I got here. I've got an important mission to do back home, and my partner-- [Abel pales slightly. Oh man, when Cain realizes he's gone...] ...he'll be upset that I'm missing.

[In person]

[Nina was heading to the dance studio when she saw the young blonde]

Are you new..?

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

New? --Yeah, if you mean that I have no idea where I am!

[en-pointe-wings.livejournal.com]

[She nods]

Yes..um, this might be quite hard to take in, but you've been 'kidnapped', for lack of a better word

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

Kidnapped? How--?

[en-pointe-wings.livejournal.com]

There's someone called 'The Author' - no one knows how it works, but she can somehow pull people from their respective worlds

[Realising how crazy it sounds]

I'm sorry..I know how this all sounds

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

The-- Author? That's--

Isn't there a way to stop her?

[en-pointe-wings.livejournal.com]

[Nina just glances to the side , scratching the skin around the nails of her opposite hand anxiously]

No, there isn't..she's..a little like a child God, I suppose. All powerful, but doesn't know how to harness it properly

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

If she's not experienced, there may be a way... if we can figure it out.

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

You're no longer in your normal world, or dimension. You've been kidnapped along with the rest of us ... if it's any consolation, it seems that time doesn't always match between here and "home" - you may not even be "gone" to them.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

...oh. [there's a long silence on his end as he thinks this over.] I was kidnapped? Was it the Colterons? Are we imprisoned here?

[Video]

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

Colterons? [The lady on the other end - she looks about 30 - furrows her brows.]
This place is the work of a girl we only know as the Author; it's a construct outside of normal reality. In the sense that none of us can leave this space, yes, we are imprisoned.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

You don't know the Colterons? [she said 'dimension'... probably not in the scientific sense, then.]

When you say dimensions, do you mean-- alternate realities?

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of them - they're probably something that's only on your world.


[...Well, "alternate realities" is something she's used to thinking of in terms of layers of the same world, but she's heard it used here before at some point, so-] Yes, something like that.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

[if it is alternate realities, then it makes sense that she wouldn't know the Colterons-- but a life without them is hard to imagine. Abel frowns, considering it over.]

But things won't progress back home until I get back?

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

Possibly. I don't know that I can say for certain. [She's not one for raising false hopes; she thinks it shouldn't - but she can't guarantee it.]

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

[He looks a little distant for a moment before nodding.] It'll have to be good enough.

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry. The situation is very limited - I'm not even sure how this realm is anchored, much less how one would trigger the mechanisms to pass between this and other worlds.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

No-- it's not your fault, right? [he tries to smile, a little. it doesn't really work.] Thank you for giving me as much information as you have,

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

It's mostly safe here - there are others trying to find a way out.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

I hope one of us is successful. How... long have people been here?

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

... It seems it's been anywhere from a few weeks, to - there are a few that may have been here over a year.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

[he nods a little. It could be worse...] Alright. There may still be a chance, then-- a year isn't that long.

[motherofsilence.livejournal.com]

No, it isn't... and we have plenty of time to work on unraveling how this place works.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

Mm. I'll keep my hopes up, the.

[kansai-ahou.livejournal.com]

'Ey, I wouldn't worry 'bout home too much. It'll make yer 'ead hurt, and in this place it's better to 'ave yer wits about ya.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

But-- home is more important than just me.

[kansai-ahou.livejournal.com]

I know what ya mean. I got friends and family back 'ome that I'm sure would be freakin' out, but it's easier t'take a breath and tell yerself everythin' there is fine.

...cause I don't know if we can go back.

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

There has to be a way. If we were brought here, there has to be a way to get back.

[kansai-ahou.livejournal.com]

If ya figure it out, let me know b'fore ya leave, yeah?

[ownednavigator.livejournal.com]

Of course!
