CANTO I-video

[in_a_dark_wood]

[The video shows a young man with silver hair. He's holding the NV in one hand and his chin is resting in the other. He is sitting at a table in a cafe somewhere, and his handsome features are marred with the sort of exhaustion that comes with running a circuit race all night instead of sleeping.]

So...

[He drums his fingers against his cheek and a hand reaches into view to refill the coffee cup in front of him. He sits back to give the waiter room, then resumes slouching when the hand retreats.]

So, I guess I got a party invitation I couldn't turn down, eh? I mean, don't get me wrong, it's a nice city you guys got here. I really dig how people throw rocks at me, you know? Really helps a guy feel at home. Oh, yeah, and the monsters coming out at night.

[He drops his hand away from his chin to the table and he smiles a bitter smile.]

I don't know who'd want to drag me all the way out here. Whoever you are, you'd better explain yourself, you kindapping fuck, or I'll-

[The waiter's arm appears again, lowering a personal pizza down in front of the young man who looks at it and blinks as his train of thought derails]

-...Hey! I said no olives!

[The waiter mutters something then walks away and the young man sneezes]

....Dammit...

[And the feed ends]

It's the Core of the Port that pulls us here. It's malfunctioning and it messes up with everything.

If you're looking to punch it, win a fight and go home that isn't going to happen. Sorry.

The Core?

The Hell is that?

[athermercy]

Well, it's something that is somewhere in the baseball diamond where you landed. You'll notice something guarded by the government? That's it.

Don't like looking at things being guarded by government. Never did. Men in suits make me nervous.

[He says this playfully]

So, there's a thing, we don't know what it is, and there's something wrong with it, and that's why I'm here? That about the gist of it?

Interrupting your threat to chide the waitress for your choice in food toppings isn't very frightening.

[in_a_dark_wood]

Hey, man, I ordered it with no olives.

[PRIORITIES]

[tinyvampiregod]

Or not since there appear to be olives on it.

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

People threw rocks at you? Are you alright?

video;

[athermercy]

That's it. Supposedly it's malfunctioning and some of those people are trying to get it fixed.

Welcome to Siren's Port, Canada.

[in_a_dark_wood]

Canada, huh? Not exactly an ideal vacation spot. Even without all the monsters.

[Vague gestures]

What's the deal with those, anyway?

[The Darkness smells like all things horrible!]

[in_a_dark_wood]

Yeah, well, he got it wrong.

Now you see why I'm pissed.

[athermercy]

Core stuff related again. You'll get used to vague explanations after a while.

[Video]

[in_a_dark_wood]

Yep, I'm fine. They missed.

Some lady was talking about having rocks thrown at her earlier. That happen a lot around here?

[He...may have sassed some people but he'll just leave that part out for now.]

[tinyvampiregod]

Unless you only think you ordered it without olives.

Or this is some kind of limbo world.

[in_a_dark_wood]

Man, I'd like to see this thing...

It can do crazy shit like that...bet it could power my office back home for months.

[in_a_dark_wood]

What the Hell are you talking about?

[tinyvampiregod]

Limbo. Where one goes before going upstairs or fully downstairs.

I highly doubt it is full on hell.

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

O-oh good. You can report it though, if you like.

[Seras sighs.] Now and again... some of the natives dislike us, Newcomers that is, people pulled in by the Core. They blame us for their troubles.

[athermercy]

I don't think it'll be very stable to use as source of light.

[in_a_dark_wood]

You're something else, kid.

I'm just talking about pizza.

[tinyvampiregod]

And I am pointing out that the wrong toppings may not be ... coincidence.

[Video]

[in_a_dark_wood]

Great. Wonderful.

Not like I asked to be here.

I didn't think "Gee, I'd really like to be on a monster infested island right now!"

video;

[in_a_dark_wood]

Maybe not. Maybe this is Purgatory.

Either way, I don't want olives.

[He starts picking them off the slices.]

[Video]

[bloodthirsts]

Sorry to be the bearer of bad news. I think most of us would get off the island if we could.

[in_a_dark_wood]

Don't suppose you have any good news about this place?
