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;))

[ ... 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.]

You're saying the castle itself was alive?

[ Not too crazy. The same thing could be said, in a way, of Wonderland. ]

In a magical, sometimes running our lives kid of way? Yes.

That... is very interesting.

I might need to visit this castle sometime.

[She snorts.]

Have fun with that.

Is it really that bad?

[ Because he honestly thinks he's been to worse worlds. ]

I was there for two years. The novelty wore out pretty quickly.

I see.

[ A sigh. ]

I don't suppose you find this place any better, then?
