Who: Kagamine Len and YOU
When: Day 118, evening
Where: Shrine area
What: Got ourselves a newbie.

[There's a boy in the shrine area today and wearing quite the outfit. For the particularly observant, he doesn't seem to be breathing. At all.]

[But his eyes do open and some might notice his eyes aren't dilating. He doesn't move besides that, but he starts talking, his voice monotone, expression blank.] An unexpected shutdown has occurred. Initializing Quick Scan. Quick Scan commencing. [Then he's silent for about thirsty seconds to a minute.] No errors detected. Deep Scan recommended at earliest possible convenience.

[Then he blinks and now would be the time his eyes are dilating, and confusion coming to his face.] What...?

*he's passing through the same general area, posting a sign, but stops when he sees you. and your. unusual. fashion sense.*

Are you all right?

[A voice?]

[He sat up, head snapping towards the voice.] Who...?

[He didn't recognize the man. In fact...he didn't recognize anything around him at all!]

*poor kid, you look confused*

My name's Edward. Yours?

[He's still crying to figure out why he thinks the elevator went up when it went down and why he's not in the makeshift trash compactor.]

I-how can you not-

Kagamine Len?

It's nice to meet you, Kagamine Len. This place is called Thusia. It's... not part of the plane--the world--you know.

[Wait.]

[What.]

*yep*

Do you remember what happened before you woke up here?

I was...I was heading down to the costume department. I needed to cha-

[Wait.]

[WAIT.]

[Looks down at himself.]

[BRIGHT RED AND LOOKING A BIT HORRIFIED.]

*well I wasn't going to say anything*

You're an actor?

[He's just frozen for a few seconds here with that look.]

[Right, actor. A performer! And a performer doesn't get embarrassed, even if he swears one day he is going to murder some of the people in the costume department. But the important thing is to not seem bothered.]

[And then the look is gone and he's pushing himself to his feet and he's just RADIATING CONFIDENCE.]

Really, you haven't heard of me? Ah, ojisan, people will think you live under a rock if you respond like that.

I'm Kagamine Len, one of the Vocaloid idols. Singing, dancing, and yes, even actor sometimes. I can do it all.

Not a rock, exactly. I'm from a different plane, too. I've never heard of "Vocaloid idols" before, but that's an impressive list of skills.

[Different plane. How am I even supposed to take it, it sounds like sci fi.]

Of course they are. Vocaloids aren't some half baked, low talent celebrity wannabe. We're the real deal.

No wonder you're famous in your own world. You'll probably have to introduce yourself a lot in this one, unfortunately.

Now it sounds like you're trying to make me insecure, ojisan.

Ah, no, I just thought it'd be good to prepare you.

Hey, hey, don't worry about me. I'm tougher than I look.

[And ignoring my internal freak out because WHAT IS EVEN GOING ON and why do I see a field out that window, I was in the middle of TOKYO.]

*at least it's not a murderjungle anymore*

That'll help you here. This place hasn't been the easiest to live in, but we're managing so far. We're here to rebuild this world.

[At least there's that, he's really not made for combat. But still too much green.]

Hoh~? You're making it sound like some big project thing.

It is an entire world. The original people were wiped out in a conflict between the gods. The ones on the side of humanity have been bringing people in to help reconstruct things.

...

Ha, is this some sort of joke?

Unfortunately not. Ah, sorry.

[...]

It's not a very good prank.

[Denial forever.]

I wish it was just a prank. This place is real, sorry.

I didn't.

You didn't?
