Ryuho Ryu [Video]

[calculatedfire]

I think I was home. Or I am expected to believe that was home.

... Has anyone else seen an empty wasteland like that? It seemed real, but I don't trust that.

[Ryuho looks uncertain, as if trying to understand what to say. Finally, he decides on saying nothing.]

[notayoungkitten]

It must have been a trick.

[But she doesn't sound or look confident.]

[calculatedfire]

It seems like it has to be.

[He really doesn't sound sure.]

[notayoungkitten]

There must be some sort of explanation.

If they know about our worlds, they must be able to replicate parts we'd know.

[calculatedfire]

That makes some sense. Have you seen the same thing?

[notayoungkitten]

No.

But I've heard of it happening before.

[calculatedfire]

This is hte first time that it's happened to me.

... I'm not sure what the rationale for this is.

[notayoungkitten]

I couldn't be certain.

A means to keep the people here contained?

[calculatedfire]

It seems that very few believe the visions to be true, but it does sow doubt.

[notayoungkitten]

Indeed it does.

[calculatedfire]

I'm sorry, my name is Ryuho Ryu. I should have said that sooner.

[notayoungkitten]

A pleasure to meet you. I am called Ocelot.

[calculatedfire]

How long have you been here?

[notayoungkitten]

Not long. A couple months.

[calculatedfire]

I see. I must have arrived at the same time as you.

[notayoungkitten]

I cannot imagine what it must be like for those who have been here longer.

But if we can't even return to our own worlds...

[calculatedfire]

In any case, we have to find out what is behind this place.

[notayoungkitten]

I've heard that the leader is a man named Jason, but that is the only information that I have been able to get.

[calculatedfire]

Reaching him is going to be the challenge.

[notayoungkitten]

If that's even possible at all.

[calculatedfire]

If we can move to one place, we can move to another. There must be a way.

[notayoungkitten]

..You are correct. We simply need to find out how.

[calculatedfire]

That will take time.

[notayoungkitten]

Probably.

But I am a patient woman.

[calculatedfire]

Good.

[notayoungkitten]

We should keep in touch in case something comes up.

Ask for Ocelot if you need me.

[calculatedfire]

I will remember that.

Once. But then, I've also seen other things...

Even I can't tell if it is truth or a lie... with what I know the admins are capable of.

Re: [private text]

[calculatedfire]

I want to believe that it's a lie. But then, it may be that I disbelieve it because I want it to be a lie.

[He sounds very unsure.]

[private text]

[pitiedthefool]

We're in the same boat.

Re: [private text]

[calculatedfire]

I suppose it's pointless to ask. Only the admins would know, and I would need to reach them to go home if it exists.

[nodeviations]

I went "home", but it wasn't a wasteland.

It wasn't even really land anymore. Then again, I guess it never was.

The fact that they could know those details makes me wary, but ultimately I cannot believe it's real. Illusions born from our own assumptions, most likely.

Re: text

[calculatedfire]

I don't want it to be true, but that may mean I will ignore evidence because I don't want it to be true.
