exsilium | ☢ 1 [Video/Open to Action]

[The feed clicks on, and the video shows a rather vexed young woman walking along the sidewalk or what there is of one. Her brows are drawn together, and her blue eyes are narrowed, displaying both suspicion and frustration at her surroundings. Finally, she grumbles and stops walking, looking directly at the screen.]

I don't know what sort of sick change this is, but I'm not laughing. What the hell is the Initiative, and why do I need a weapon now? There damn well better be some decent answers. No one's been very eager to explain much.

[She scowls up at the building behind her.]

New home, huh? We'll see. [Kallen sighs and directs her attention to the feed once more.]

It's doubtful anyone's been happy about arriving here, so it's a pretty safe bet there's no known way back yet, huh? That figures.

[Instead of going straight inside, the redhead simply sits against the wall of the building, still glaring at anything that meets her gaze.]

Just perfect.

((ooc: open to action right outside the apartment buildings 8D;))

Well, that's good. [Sarcasm!] Is there anything positive about this?

[Kallen would probably punch him if he said that aloud.]

That I can see, no.

[ Which is why he doesn't! He's smart enough to know better. ]

Unless you're the type of person who enjoys exotic technology.

Not enough to make this worthwhile. How long have you been here?

A month and a half, now. I was mostly keeping quiet, so that I could take time to learn as much as I can about this world. What I've learned wasn't what I'd consider good news.

It'll still be something.

I think there's an extra dimensional barrier between this world and the others.

We're stuck to put it simply. I've heard that before.

In Layman's terms... yes.

[ And he has no way to contact the World that Never Was, much less Castle Oblivion. Xemnas wasn't going to be happy about this. ]

I am beginning to get sick of that phrase.

You have no idea.

[ You're talking to a guy who works with Vexen. ]

I meant the phrase about being stuck places.

Why is that?

It was the same the last place I was.

[ Now he's curious. ]

Where was that?

A magic castle. It was a place sort of like this where people from other worlds were taken.

[ ... Okay, that caught his interest. He blinked, leaning into the camera a bit. ]

What was it called?

Paradisa.

[ ... That wasn't what he expected. ]

I'm afraid I've never heard of it.

Didn't expect you to.

Can you describe it for me?

[ Because, seriously, 'magical castle' sounds like at least four worlds he knows of, and those are just the ones he can think of off the top of his head.. ]

In what way? It's called Paradisa, if that's what you want to know.

Well, 'Magical Castle' is a fairly common trope in my line of work. I'm curious about the specifics. Who lords over it? How is it different from other castles?

That's the thing, there was no lord. It sort of ruled itself.

How is that possible?

Uh, did I mention the magic castle was sorta sentient? [She sort of shifts now, trying not to seem too crazy.]
