Dongtae
The Quiet Streets
*Dongtae runs down the street obviously panicked by something. He looks frantically around and slows his pace. He then completely stops as he looks at his phone* I could of sworn that they were around here... *He bites his lip as he looks around once again* Come to think of it, where am I? This place seems completely different from where I just was... *He opens up a GPS app on his phone to see that he is at an unknown location* What the? *Dongtae then lets out a sigh as he rubs his head* Guess I lost them...and even ended up getting myself completely lost at the same time. Guess I should try to find someone. *Dongtae starts to walk down the street as he looks at the unfamiliar sights around him, questioning where he ended up and worrying if he could find the person he was after*
Spectrum
Skyla walks past and notices you look lost. "Hi!"
Dongtae
*Dongtae turns to face Skyla* Oh.. hello there... *He takes a second to look at his phone before looking back up at Skyla* Um...May I ask where we are? I seem to have turned down the wrong way, and now I'm lost.
Spectrum
"The Nexus. It's where multiple universes meet."
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks at Skyla confused* The...Nexus? Well, I don't have time to waste, how can I leave this place? I must get back...I need to get back and make sure no ones hurt from my loss of direction.
Spectrum
"Ok."
Dongtae
*Dongtae stares at Skyla* Right...well I guess I'll just continue on, if you aren't able to help me out...Nice to meet you... *Dongtae puts his phone back in his pocket and continues to walk down the rest of the street* This place is already something else...
Saeko
Saeko walks down the street. Her expression blank as her mind races, pondering the events she witnessed earlier. So lost in though, she doesn't notice Dontae until she bumps into him, and her mind snaps back to where it belongs. She takes a few clumsy steps back. "S-Sorry, I was... distracted."
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks at Saeko giving a smile while scratching his head* Ah, don't worry about it. *He looks at his phone once again and shakes his head* Um...do you know anything about this Nexus place? And if theres an exit somewhere, I really need to get out of here.
Duet
*A little girl passes by, small hand linked with the much larger one of the black humanoid beside her. She gives his hand a small tug, and they head over to the other two* Hi, Miss Saeko! Are you talking to a new person? They must have gotten here recently, too!
Saeko
Saeko shook her head. "I... only know vague things about 'Nexus'. I am not even fully sure what it is, but I was told once no one could leave once they entered." She sighed, "I thought they were making a joke about their enticing culture but... maybe they really were being literal."
Dongtae
*Dongtae's face goes pale* No one...can leave? *Dongtae shakes his head* N-No...I-I have to get out of here though...If I don't *He puts his hands over his eyes biting his lip* Theres gotta be a way... *Dongtae then looks down at the little girl and humanoid by them puzzled* Have you all only arrived just as well?
Saeko
Saeko smiles and pats the little girls head. "Ah, hello again." She turns a bit and sees the tall figure near the girl, and her expression goes blank, slowly removing her hand from the girl and taking a few steps back.
Duet
We only arrived a few days ago. I'm Alice, by the way, and this here is Deemo! *The humanoid silently waves, and Alice looks up at the stranger with concern* Are you alright, mister?
Duet
*Alice smiles a little at the pat, rubbing her head shyly*
Kuroumi
*Kuro is taking her usual stroll, until she notices Dongtae, Saeko and Alice. She walks over to them, holding a notebook.* Hello there. I believe I haven't met any of you.
Dongtae
*Dongtae gives a slight smile at the duo* Nice to meet you both, my name is Dongtae. And I was chasing after someone who was after one of my friends. I'm sure she will be safe, I contacted some others to protect her but...The one I'm after is dangerous. I won't let them hurt her... *He looks down at the ground* But, its nice to meet people who are also new.
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks up at Kuroumi* Ah, hello there. I guess I am a new person here as well as them. Though, I'm trying to find a way out...if there is one...
Micah
"Interesting, another person in Nexus.." A voice suddenly spoke in the darkness. "Well anyways, I'm Micah, you are Dongtae correct? Heard some things about ya!"
Saeko
Saeko pulls her wary gaze away from Deemo for a moment to the newcomer, Kuro, and nods her head. "Ah, no we have not. We all seem to have arrived in this... 'Nexus' within the last week. I myself have been exploring the quieter places, so I have not met many residents here."
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks at Micah surprised* Heard some things about me? But I've only just arrived... *Dongtae thinks for a moment and looks at his phone once again shaking his head, he then puts his gaze back at Micah* What have you heard about me exactly?
Duet
*Deemo's pure white gaze falls on Saeko for a few moments, but he snaps out of his thoughts when Alice speaks* Well... if someone's in trouble, you might wanna make sure they're safe! But I haven't heard of a way out yet... There should be one, though! *Alice looks up at the sky as she says that last part, as if expecting an exit right there.*
Kuroumi
*Kuro looks at Saeko blankly.* Within the last week? Interesting. Well, I've been here for a few months now. Nice to meet you all, I'm Kuroumi. You may call me Kuro though. *She turns to Dongtae.* I haven't heard of a way out of the Nexus yet. You may want to ask the people who have been here even longer than me, before the Nexus was even named.
Micah
"Welllll, I heard that you are a "Dicer" an A Rank one to be exact. I mean, I kind of lurk around you know? And that you have a special ability as well... I don't know what the ability is of course!" Micah suddenly went quiet, "Sorry if I sounded a bit uh... Strange..."
Dongtae
*Dongtae listens to what both Kuroumi and Alice have to say* I hope my friend is safe, but like I said, I'm sure my other friends can protect her...but if no one has heard of an exit yet...my chances seem slim. Maybe the older residents may know something like you said... *He shakes his head, and gives a weak smile to all* My name is Dongtae, nice to meet you. *Dongtae then looks over to Micah surprised* Y-You know about Dice? *He silently mutters to himself* So Dice is even known here? *He then looks back up* Well...Its nice to meet you Micah.
Saeko
"Indeed, I believe it has been... five days? Regardless, it is nice to meet you, Kuroumi. My name is... Saeko. Saeko Murakami."
Duet
Dice? Is that a game? *Alice hums* Well, I know what dice are, but dunno about a game like that. How do you play? *She looks up at him, rocking back and forth on her feet*
Kuroumi
Saeko, what a nice name. And so is yours, Dongtae. *Kuro looks around, and back at everyone.* I must take my leave now. Hopefully I'll see you all once again. *With that, she turns and walks away, opening her notebook.*
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks down at Alice looking a bit nervous* Well...um...its not really a game for young kids such as yourself...its a dangerous game at that... *Dongtae looks past Alice blankly, he then looks up to Koroumi* Ah, it was nice to meet you.
HibkiKuze
*Hibki walks up just catching the part about a dangerous game* What's this game? Is it like the reapers game?
Saeko
Saeko looks up at the sky for a moment. "Yes... Saeko... is a nice name, I suppose."
Duet
Aw... *Alice gives up on the idea of that new game and waves at the new person who just arrived.* Hi there! *The black humanoid, however, still seems interested in the game. He tilts his head at Dongtae*
Micah
"Yep, Dice is very dangerous game. It's basically like a drug, a drug that is quite addicting and murderous, Alice."
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks down at the floor after hearing Micah's comment* Dice...It brings the worst out in people...
HibkiKuze
Whoops, forgot to introduce myself. I'm Hibki. Something tells me this game is a big deal in your world.
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks up at Hibki* Yeah, it is...anyway, my names Dongtae, nice to meet you Hibki.
Micah
"Oh and we should find a way to get you home, right? I don't know any way out but... Someone probably knows?"
Dongtae
*Dongtae nods his head* I'm hoping someone knows a way out. I can't be trapped here, I have to get back.
HibkiKuze
I got nothing. I wish I could be more help but I got nothing. Somebody at Leblanc might know. A lot of people hang out there. People here are strange though, you'll see a lot of unexplainable things.
Pancake_Knight
*PK notices a merry band of people gathering and walks up, smiling and waving to everyone Wow! Alot of new faces! I am Pancake_Knight! At your service! Who might you all be! *PK then bows before getting up, waiting for a response
Dongtae
Leblanc huh? I'll have to check it out eventually. *Dongtae then turns to Pancake Knight* Hello there sir. *Dongtae gives him a smile* Nice to meet you, my I'm new to this place, my name is Dongtae.
Pancake_Knight
Ah! A new person! Well let me help you out! This place is called the Nexus! It randomly pulls in locations and people from all across time and space! Nobody really knows how it works but it is a nice place if you don't mind the villans!
Dongtae
It randomly pulls people in!? No wonder I suddenly lost them, I somehow got brought here...and villains? *Dongtake looks at Pancake Knight worried*
Micah
"Yeah and- wait...crap, who's today's villian/overlords of the day...?" Micah starts to panic a bit. "Oh This is bad..."
HibkiKuze
Don't worry about seeing the worst of humanity here. I've seen the worst of it in my world as well. Demon attacks change people. *He gives a lighthearted chuckle* This place is somewhat peaceful.
Pancake_Knight
Yep! I did say that anyone could be pulled in! So for every couple of people a couple end up being evil gods! Or even just regular villains! But you don't have to fear! Pancake Knight will defend this realm! *PK then poses ridiculously, putting his laser blade into the air and jumping up and down
Dongtae
Evil gods huh... *Dongtae stares at the ground for a moment, then looks back up* So this place is a strange one isn't. Quite mysterious as well. Hopefully I can find a way out if some older residents know anything. Thanks for giving me the rundown of this place. *Dongtae gives the group a smile*
Micah
"Ah no problem! If any of us gets hurt, I'll help with your wounds!"
HibkiKuze
No problem. Hey so most people here have a power. I have a demon summoning app, while most others have a Persona. Do you have any powers?
Pancake_Knight
A way out of the Nexus! I think certain people have a way out! Like Yu! Or those new dimension hopping machines! I'm pretty iffy on the details but it is possible to get out! At any rate I'm going to be late for breakfast! Ill see you! *PK then waves goodbye and smiles before dashing away
Duet
Bye, Mister Knight! *Alice waves back, watching him run off* He's probably a superhero, right, Deemo? *Deemo nods. His shoulders shake a little, as if he's silently laughing*
Dongtae
*Dongtae waves at Pancake Knight*. So there is a possible way out. Thats...good news. *He lets out a sigh of relief, and turns towards Hibki* I have...no real special powers. *Dongtae gives a nervous smile as he rubs his head* But, its cool you have powers!
HibkiKuze
Hmm, people here tend to find some, I'm sure you'll get some eventually here. Anyways I'll see you around!
Micah
"See you around Hibiki!" Micah said as they smiled. "Anyways Dongtae, I don't really have any powers at all, but I do have a pocket knife to protect us I guess..."
HibkiKuze
*Hibki hands Dongtae a sheet of paper with directions to Leblanc. This is where most people hang out. *He walks off*
Dongtae
*Dongtae waves and smiles at Hibki, he then faces Micah* A knifes a knife, it can help in a fight. They can hurt if you strike at the right place. *Dongtae lets out a short laugh*
Dongtae
*Dongtae takes the paper* Thanks, I'll head there at some point, I'll see you around Hibki!
Duet
Oh, Leblanc? Deemo and I went there once. It was really busy! *Alice twirls around absentmindedly* Mister Gamma told everyone inside to act more "normal" when we went, though.
Dongtae
*Dongtae smiles at Alice* Seems like a fun place. Who is this Mister Gamma? Is he your caretaker?
Duet
Nope! He's this pink haired guy I met when I came here! And... *She pauses, thinking for a moment* I guess... Deemo's my caretaker? We kinda stick together, and he helps me out a lot.
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks at the two* Seems like theres a lot of nice people here. How long have you and...Deemo been together?
Duet
Um... *Alice looks up at Deemo for an answer, but he shrugs* I don't know. We've been together for as long as I can remember, but I don't remember anything before that...
Dongtae
Hmm, well, you two seem like great friends. At least you have someone you know here...maybe we can even be friends! *Dongtae gives Alice a smile*
Duet
Y-yeah! *Alice smiles back. Deemo seems happy with this new development, and he gives Alice a gentle pat on the head*
Dongtae
*Dongtae then stares at the paper Hibki gave to him* So this Leblanc...you've been there before right? Other than crazy, is there anything else that happens there?
Duet
Um... I'm not sure! Everyone just talks and stuff. You wanna go? *Alice smooths out her hair as she speaks*
Micah
"I haven't been there before, but there are tons of people there..."
Dongtae
*Dongtae nods* If theres anyone who can help, I need to go there. I wonder how it is there.
Bgammax
*Gamma steps out from behind a street corner and waves at the three* Seems like you're getting along fairly well, aren't you? Looking for somewhere to stay?
Saeko
At some point Saeko wandered a bit of a ways off, and took a seat on the side of the road, she's still staring off into space, lost in thought for many reasons, including why the writer had to suddenly be pulled away from their PC because of family reasons.
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks at Gamma* Oh hello there sir. I'm just trying to get my bearings with this weird new place.and learning that there may or may not be a way out worries me. The people I've met so far have been very nice though.
Bgammax
*Gamma shrugs* Weird's most certainly the correct term for it. I hope they haven't said anything to scare you off. As far as leaving, well, there're plenty of places to go, so getting bored or needing anything isn't something to worry about. A lot of people tell some sort of horror story about this place, but its really not too bad.
Dongtae
*Dongtae scratches his head* Well, I've been involved in some strange things so I guess this isnt all that bad. It seems like a nice place, and if I didn't have much going on, I wouldn't mind being here. But for now, to get home is my main objective.
Bgammax
*shrug* All sorts of people I guess. Personally, I couldn't care less if I ever got home. There are probably some ways to do it, every other rule this place had has been broken after all, but they're really not worth worrying about. Of course, if you have any further questions about this silly little place I will answer to the best of my abilities. If not, well, I found a fairly nice home for a while.
Dongtae
*Dongtae shakes his head* I think I've gotten the more important things down for now, really, if anything out of tge ordinary happens, I'll just not question it too much knowing this place is certainly not ordinary. *Dongtae gives Gamma a smile*
Bgammax
*Gamma shrugs and continues down the street* Suit yourself. Good luck finding somewhere to sleep for now, or whatever it is you're wanting to do. I was simply passing by anyways.
Dongtae
*Dongtae waves to Gamma as he walks away* Now then... *Dongtae pulls out his phone again, this time with a look of surprise. On his phone it read "Quest Complete: Meet five new people today. Reward: 5 Dice." Dongtae claims the reward as a blue light flashes with 5 Dice appearing in his hand* So quests can still be completed here? Interesting....but without him, there are no quests. Just previous ones I haven't completed. *Dongtae shrugs it off and puts the Blue Dice in his pocket* I don't see myself needing these here...at least right now...
Micah
"It does seem like this is a safe zone for you, no body else would try to harm you for dice, so that's good!"
Dongtae
*Dongtae lets out a sigh* Yeah, I won't let Dice break out like it did in my world...It would only cause problems in the wrong hands. *He looks at Micah with a curious look* Hey, how do you know about Dice anyway?
Micah
"I told you, I just lurk around, I never want to be part of it. But I do want to know more about it, I mean, I only know you because you're pretty much a celebrity!" Micah looks down and sighs, "I'm kinda afraid of it you know?"
Dongtae
Dice is dangerous...but it certainly has its rewards...In the wrong hands Dice can be terrifying, but it has helped me in my life. I like Dice and what it can do, but the people are the problem with Dice... *Dongtae then looks at Micah and blushes scratching his head* And celebrity? Heh, yeah right, I'm no big deal.
Micah
"I agree, it can help, but greed is the true evil. And who is the person on your phone? The one who makes the "Quests"? "
Dongtae
*Dongtae looks at his phone* The person who makes quests? He's the GM. He loves causing chaos, he gives out quests that can involve hurting people. He's twisted..I also ended up making a bet with him. Another reason I have to get back. I have no idea if he can reach me here, but back in my world he keeps tabs on everyone.
Micah
"Oh dang, he definitely sounds troublesome... You think he's panicked about you somehow missing?"
Dongtae
*Dongtae lets out a sifh* Who knows, he could be, he could be scared that he lost all eyes on me. Maybe I could plan secretly while Im here. *Dongtae closes his eyes and smiles* It feels nice to not be under his eyes though, thats for sure.
Micah
"I bet it is..."
Dongtae
Heh, yea. I'll have a short time to relax before I hopefully return home. Its nice to take a break, but I'm still stressed. *Dongtae laughs a bit*
Micah
"Heh, same over here..."
