First Gemstone

[There's a slightly awkward looking kid waving nervously. He's wearing what's obviously the Seven Titans gear - or at least, obviously to anyone who's seen enough of them around. He also has a slightly troubled look about him... whatever it is that's bugging him, clearly it's been weighing on his mind for a while.]

Uhh... Hi! My name is Wataru and... I'm part of the Seven Titans kind of.

Um, I was wondering... [Geeze this is weird, projecting a message to a bunch of people he's never even met, but...] Did anyone else here... well, did you come here while you were in the middle of something important? 'Cause, well... My friends and I had some stuff to do, and if I don't get back--

[...He'll probably become the Half.]

Well, a lot of really bad things will happen.

We still don't have a clue how to get back or anything? And nobody's found any hints yet?

[Because as neat as this world is, he really, really needs to find a way back to Vision before Mitsuru beats him to the tower.]

[ This child looks familiar... Hasn't she seen him around the guild before? Fine, she'll bite. ]

I was going to tell someone something.

As for how we get back, I haven't a clue. That's why I'm aiming for the top. [ The top of the castle. ]

[hasavision]

[Oh, he's... pretty sure he's seen this lady around before.]

Was it something important?

I think I'll probably try to do that too. I mean, if there's a tower, it has to be meant to climb, right?

[Maybe it'll turn out to be like the one in Vision... Or something.]

I've also been hearing rumors about it all over the city. Something about a wish-granting god... In any case, I'll take my chances. What I had to say was very important. Entire nations will be in danger if—

[ ... ] I'm sorry. It's nothing.

[hasavision]

[Well that gets his attention. Er, both of the things she said, but one in particular is pretty relevant to his interests.]

A wish-granting god?

video

[peachbaths]

Yes, at the top of the tower. However, it is infested with monsters... Have you gone there before?

[heartofsacae]

[Once she's figured out how to work the video function, Lyn's face appears]

You could say that, yeah...

[Video]

[hasavision]

What was going on for you? Uh, if you don't mind saying.

[heartofsacae]

A mad sorcerer wants to call a horde of dragons to our world, and it's up to my friends and I to stop him. ...he was out of commission for a while, but now his power is back.

[Video]

[hasavision]

A horde of dragons?

[Oh, man... He's met one in person, and that was just a child, and a very friendly one at that. But the thought of an entire horde, and not the amicable sort, either...

Well, of course he'd sympathize.]

Do... Do you think your friends will be okay...?

[Video]

[heartofsacae]

Yes.

I...I certainly hope so. I don't doubt their strength, but things have been quite dangerous lately.

[cryptozoological]

I ...wasn't really. Me and my sister were just watching TV with our great uncle.

That's something else I guess we can toss out as far as patterns in our abductions go.

Video

[hasavision]

There probably wasn't anything weird about the show either, huh?

I wonder how all of this could have happened...

Video

[cryptozoological]

Nope, just another episode of Ducktective.

I dunno, but I'm definitely going to find out.

Video

[hasavision]

...Ducktective?

[Well that's... a title.]

Are you keeping notes on that, too? [He's actually pretty curious, since Dipper already seemed to be so diligent about it just in their one conversation before.]

Video

[cryptozoological]

Ducktective. It's basically Sherlock Holmes, but Sherlock is actually a duck.

[And that's really all there is to that.]

Absolutely. I'm keeping tabs on everything. There's got to be some kind of connection to why we were brought here. Things don't just happen for no reason, especially things that rip through time and space.

[chittybang]

I'm afraid I haven't heard any leads on getting back. It sort of worries me, too.

[She has a failing technological corporation to revive. Kind of important.]

video

[hasavision]

And it's not like time can just stop back home, either.

[As far as he knows, anyway. Wayfinder Lau had reprimanded him for assuming as much when he first started his journey, so obviously the case should be the same here.]

video

[chittybang]

You're right.

[She shrugs.] But it's out of our hands for the time being. The best we can do is look for clues. Kind of a rotten situation, huh?

video

[hasavision]

Yeah, kind of.

[More like kind of an understatement but... what can they do about it?]

...Someone else said they were going to check out the tower. I think that's probably our best bet, too.

video

[chittybang]

Makes sense. If we woke up there, maaaybe there's a way back somewhere inside.

[Except the logistics of that are killing her. It's like there isn't a shred of science anywhere around here. Even the guns employ some magical capabilities.]

What do we know about it so far?

was after a fight
would have been a different matter if it was during

[hasavision]

what kind of fight

text.

[dogtag]

wasn't that important
but it was pretty good

[ he's not sure what the kid's asking. it wasn't to the death, for what it's worth. ]

[hasavision]

a good fight?
so was it just for fun?

[dogtag]
