001 ☯ Alma [VIDEO]

[alma_karma]

[The camera lens is partially blocked when the feed clicks on, fuzzy pinkish edges suggesting fingers to be the culprit. Whoever it is holding the device is moving if the shifting light and soft padding sounds are any clue. After less than a minute of traveling the footsteps stop and a small voice cuts through the silence.]

What’s going on?... Doctor Edgar? Yu? Where'd you go?

[When no answer comes, movement begins again, slightly faster than before as a steady light source from one direction becomes apparent. Maybe a window or a door...

There's a little gasp and the camera's view suddenly blurs, the faciliberry clattering loudly as it hits the ground. A cloudy sky comes into view, as well as an extremely foreshortened view of a young boy. He's staring up at the sky with an almost disbelieving expression, apparently unaware that he's dropped his device.]

... >:

[hebi]

Yes. It's below freezing, I suggest finding shelter before you freeze to death.

... ♥?

[alma_karma]

That can happen?!

<333

[hebi]

[...Facepalm.]

Yes, kid, it can happen.

[alma_karma]

I didn't know it could get that cold. Someone should tell Winter to make it warm again.

[hebi]

[Snort.]

It won't be for several more months.

[alma_karma]

Well that's not nice...

[Blinkblink.] Do you work for the Order? 'Cause I don't think I'm supposed to be here...

[hebi]

People are brought here from different worlds, so no, I'm not.

[alma_karma]

[More blinking. Different worlds?

Does not compute.]

[hebi]

The place you're from is vastly different from the place I'm from.

[alma_karma]

... So... this isn't the Order?

[hebi]

No.

[alma_karma]

... But that doesn't make any sense.

[hebi]

Nothing here does.

[alma_karma]

[There's a long pause while Alma thinks everything over. This is all very confusing and he's not sure he likes it at all...

But there are other people. And the sky.]

... I'm Alma.

[hebi]

... Sasuke.

[alma_karma]

[Smilesmile!] It's nice to meet you. [He pokes at the screen with one finger.] Sort of.

[hebi]

Ah.

[alma_karma]

Hey, um... [He looks a little sheepish, pointing up at the gray sky and quick-moving clouds.]

Does it always look like that?

/DERPHERP

[hebi]

No, it doesn't.

XD

[alma_karma]

Why's it moving?

/fails

[hebi]

It's what clouds do.

Have you never seen the sky before?

♥s anyway

[alma_karma]

[He shakes his head.] Is that what it's called?

<3~!

[hebi]

... Yes.

[alma_karma]

Oh... [Just gonna peer on up at it. It's kind of overwhelming.]

[hebi]

Stare at it from inside, kid.
