[overgrowth]

Yeah, yeah. I can handle myself.

[ darn. but he puts them to good use before they leave! ]

[dragonofoushuu]

Masamune grins. He never could, nor enjoyed being a bystander to the world moving around him. Looks like it might be back into the fires of war.

"Once we make it back, I'm going to do a little personal investigating. I have three swords and a pair of guns to put to good use."

[undaunts]

[She can't exactly say she blames him; this place bugs just about everyone, and it's hard especially on people who want to help. So Ruby nods thoughtfully, considering that.]

Don't worry! As soon as we're out of here, you can do your hero thing a little bit better. I know that there's a pretty high demand for that sort of thing here.

[Since life sucks if you're a Normal here....]

So let's get out of here so you can get back to your hero-ing! C'mon, this way!

[Any direction is as good as the other, so long as they keep moving, she figures.]

[zerotohiro]

[Just...a smirk in response.] Hey, I like to use my time wisely. It'll be fine. [But since he's stopped dancing he looks back the direction he'd been heading.]

First thing's first though. [He's already starting to walk off.] You comin', or are you staying here?

[unathletic]

[ He stares at the back for another moment without saying anything, but then he just shifts a little again before grabbing a hold of the pillow and firmly pulling it out from under Nam Soon's head, putting it under his own instead. Just out of pettiness, not out of necessity - it's not like they don't have more pillows around, after all. ]

Who needs some monster when you're right here.

[ Worse than any monster, right.

Except that implication is totally ridiculous since Heung Soo cares for the other to death, but.. sshh... ]

you're fine! we can probably wrap this one and jump into the new one though :)

[zerotohiro]

Maybe? [He's not too sure either but it sure sounded good. He's mostly hoping for a few well-placed kicks and banking on speed to get them far enough ahead. He knows she has a point though and he glances back, too.]

We don't really have a choice, do we? [Dryly. But he's picking up pace.] We can outrace it just fine. C'mon.

[And true to his word? He's zipping off. It's with the speed and grace of somebody who's done a little bit of sneaking around in his life but not superspeed. But it'll have to do for now.]

[zerotohiro]

Sounds good. [Well. He really has no reason not to follow her since she's the one with the weapon right now. So yeah, any direction is as good as the other and off they go heading probably right into the face of danger, but that's okay. Maybe he'll get a chance to show her the hero thing soon...maybe. It's hard to without his gear and he doesn't realize what's waiting for him outside, but right now his focus is on heading out and figuring out what to do next.]

[runningjoke]

I've never heard of "demons" before. Describe it.

We've developed physical forms as a defense mechanism. And only Gems created through special means are Gems. Any old rock on Earth isn't special.

[braavado]

[She pushes the door open and waits for Kongwai to join her.]

There's a receptionist over there... [It's rather odd looking, though. And Korra presses back a shudder as it swings its head toward them.]

But no exit. Should we try the other side?

[braavado]

Yeah, I meant the whole...your world got destroyed announcement they had as soon as you got here. You heard the same thing, didn't you?

[Unfortunately for Jack, Korra doesn't let go of it that easily. She tilts her head to the side.]

So what's different about the spirits you know of?

[braavado]

[The word "again" sticks out like a sore thumb. From what she's hearing about this place, she wouldn't be too surprised if more monsters showed up again.]

I kind of want to see you use those things, but that almost feels like jinxing it.

[Another tentative smile.] At least living here won't be too bad, if the people here are as friendly as you are.

[braavado]

[She bursts out laughing.]

Thanks, but... after wearing this and getting those bogus charts, I don't know how much dignity any of us have left.

[braavado]

You bet. [Korra cracks her knuckles with a fierce scowl.] They won't even know what hit 'em.

[She follows closely behind Hiro, keeping an eye out for said nurses as they go.]

[braavado]

[Korra pushes the top-most button obligingly. A second later, the elevator doors slide closed, and Korra can feel them moving toward the upper levels.]

Up we go. How long have you been in the colony, anyway?

[braavado]

Nope. But people have been telling me this whole place is a ...game. Is the music supposed to mean something?

[Before she can wonder further, she gets a message telling her the points earned from the game have been placed in her account. She isn't even sure how this whole things works, but... at least she has some idea of what's going on now.]

Did you just get the message about bonus points?

[braavado]

[How strange, indeed. Not that Korra isn't grateful for the information, of course. She makes a mental note to seek him out later.]

Mosley... [She's definitely going to remember that name.] I'm guessing you guys found something in the other room?

[braavado]

Nah... I woke up in one of the rooms and burned up the bogus medical chart they gave me. Left that room, dodged around some of the other...patients.

And after that, I ran into the nurse and found you. [She sighs.] It probably was the shot. Stuff like this is normal in the...game?

[coexistent]

Why would you keep a job you're not very good at? Is money really worth it?

[he's skeptical... probably for a good reason.]

[niceguypose]

D-do not worry! [He gives a shaky thumbs up.] We are in the springtime of our youth! There is always some dignity to hold onto... I am sure of it!

[coexistent]

[it's probably for the better this way, all things considered. dumping his problems, even somewhat unintentionally, on a stranger just isn't something he wants to do. so instead, he draws in a small breath, looking in the direction hiro points before giving an affirmative nod.]

As ready as I'm gonna be, I bet. Let's see what it's all about.

[unpresidential]

[he nods, affirming that. he may as well keep it simple—but some people don't seem to grasp that very quickly.]

Pretty much. The sooner you know, the easier it is, probably.

[braavado]

[...wait, back up. Korra's not sure she just heard right.]

You...what? But the things they showed me... it looked so real! If they Flamines don't exist, then...how could I have seen all that?

[braavado]

I ...guess so. [There's still a confused look in her eyes, though she seems to be trying to put all the pieces together.]

They say they want to help us restore our worlds...and then they completely ignore the dangers people run into while we're here. This doesn't make sense.

If they're going through the trouble of saving us and bringing us here, there has to be a reason for it.

[particularity]

[THEY'RE PRETTY STARTLING even more when you're not expecting them...]

It could be. Or this place could really be a hospital for them and they're just expecting us to help them for some reason...

[...nope. ALIENS.]

[particularity]

Aa... there was a woman there, chained up, behind another cage. She was under all this surveillance. She was the one who told us CERES had been watching through us, all this time...

And then, something happened to all of our eyes and we passed out.

[Hinata's lips twist.]
