001 + SASHA NEIN [TEXT]

[A line of text appears as it seems someone is testing out their blackberry.] Testing. 1. 2. 3. |

Hello. I am Agent Sasha Nein. I am assuming I have been kidnapped, and that you know what is going on. |

[At least this ‘Sasha’ isn’t flipping out or cursing over all of this. He also knows that other people have information, and is perhaps, hoping someone will offer him some.]

I have already explored the building to the best of my abilities, but considering how vast it is, I know I did not see any of the occupants here, even though there is proof such as the names on the door that there are others here. My fellow Kidnapped, then? |

[There's a slightly bitter laugh.] If we have to try that, I'll be sure to give you fair warning; I'm not sure how well I'd do at that - I think he registers me a little too close to the people he's got a grudge against to be more than bait.

Perhaps I could help some with that if need be.

Maybe. [He'd like to get a better feel for you before he volunteers much.] This one's a bit of a special case.

Perhaps we could meet up and talk.

Could be helpful.

Just arrived in the emptier hallway, right? [Nooo you're not dealing with someone obsessively paranoid about keep track of surroundings as much as possible...]

Correct, the last room on the right.

[It's actually quiet for a minute - a fairly short minute.]

I'm in the hallway.

[And soon, Sasha is stepping out in the hall, looking for a figure to match that voice. He sees a small figure and walks over to it.

Considering the world he lives in, seeing a baby with this mentality is not the most shocking thing.]

Hello.

[Reborn does tip the brim of his hat slightly, although not enough to disturb Leon's perch on it.] Salve. My name's Reborn.

[Yes, you are getting sized up from about ankle-height.] Have to admit, I'm wondering who you're an Agent for.

Pleasure, Mr. Reborn. [Sasha looks down at Reborn, as if he is much used to talking to someone much smaller then him *cough*Oleander*cough*]

US Government. [He figured he could be hones considering they were in a kidnapping situation with from what he heard, other Psychics about.]

I am a member of the Psychonauts.

[NUnder normal circumstances something like that he HADN'T heard of would be more worrying, but here, he's almost expecting it.]

Not one I'd ever heard of - either you've got a hole in our information network, or we're from different worlds.

It'd probably be easier if it were the latter. Although, I'd hope the Vongola wouldn't be high priority targets. [Return the courtesy of that bit of information, and see if there was any sign of recognition - as much as they weren't exactly public, if someone was keeping track of the right circles their existence wasn't secret, either.]

My particular branch only worries about Psychic Terrorists, and that group doesn't ring a bell to me.

[There's a slightly off-kilter laugh. Terrorists, no, but if a government agency were to be minding that kind of thing, a strong Mist or Sky user would certainly be the department of someone whose business was "psychics".]

It's probably better that way; less worry for either of us about sensitive information reaching the wrong hands back home. I'd like to think we wouldn't register as "terrorists" outside of some Famiglia who don't like having someone keeping an eye on them, but we've had a checkered past enough that I'd half expect us to've shown up on radar if we were from the same world.

[Not like the Mafia hitman is adjusted to "neutral ground" enough to not be on-guard talking to a government agent or anything...]

Just like I would have expected you to hear about the Psychonauts if they were in your world. [Sasha has learned sometimes, in his world, you find your safety in absurdity. After all, a government training camp for kids to be future psychic soldiers that has a pamphlet.]

Perhaps we could find similarities in each others worlds though.

Possibly. I admit, where I'm from, most of the people with some kind of powers - tend to stay more in the underground, although one of our founders was an intelligence agent for his home country, himself. [Although Alaude was kind of a special case and a law unto himself. ~~And considering some of the weird freak occurrences that tend to happen around the Vongola-~~] Depending on what's defined as a "Psychic Terrorist", maybe our groups would've at least been chasing common enemies; who knows.

Someone who uses mental abilities in ways to cause chaos, trouble, fear, and other such things. In short, for very bad things with their brains.

In that case, even if we're not batting for the same team, we'd have the same goals. [Well, at least partly - but the core Family and Guardians tended to be the ones focusing on that kind of thing anyway, and Reborn himself used to do that duty, too.] I hope you don't mind hearing that from Mafia.

The Mafia has its resources, and as I said, my group doesn't deal with them unless my previously stated condition. And in this situation, we're on the side side anyways.

[That would be the important part, anyway; he nods.] Our Family started for the purpose of protecting people where the normal laws wouldn't reach, so - if we had been from the same world and you'd ever fought a Vongola, we would've been after them anyway as a rogue. [He looks up, smiling brightly.] And it's always better to have allies.

Correct, also considering the situation we are in now. [Sasha pulls out a cigarette.]

Do you mind if I smoke?

Not at all. [If he had his regular body, he was in the same habit.] I take it you've caught up on where we are, then? [As much as nobody's actually explained things to him ... he's been perfectly capable of stalking unlocked threads on other new arrivals on the network.]

For the most part. [Sasha gets a cigarette out of the pack, and it seems to light up on its own.]

It is as if we're in someone's mind.

Definitely some kind of construct. When this week is over, I want to try to negotiate with certain people from my world who're here - if anyone I know might have some kind of insight into something created by will, it'd be one of the illusionists. [Although he hasn't seen Mammon around, and isn't about to approach Mukuro this week...] I'm guessing you've dealt with something like this before?

[Sasha nods] Usually involves mass brainwashing by someone who doesn't fully grasp their abilities.

...Where you're from - does that usually entail some sort of created dimension, or more like a very persistent illusion? [As much as Mist-users COULD create temporary spaces, it was ephemeral and dependent on the focus of the Illusionist...even someone like Mukuro would be hard-pressed to do it for an extended period of time, and it was usually much smaller. And if the Author was capable of something like the Vendice...]
