animus_network | First Wind (video)

[The network is happily greeted by the face of a young man with surprisingly golden hair staring into the screen. It's hard to guess what he's feeling right now, seeing as how he was given the news that his world was destroyed. However, that didn't seem to phase him much, so he's not as shocked as others might be. He's relieved to know that some of his possessions came with him, but...

Enough contemplation, he finally begins to speak up.]

A shame, isn't it? That our worlds are gone? It's nothing that I would have expected in the first place, seeing as it's a bit hard to believe. However, I'll have to put my trust into it that my world is actually gone. Needless to say, I'll be missing my partners over there- unless some of them were brought here, as well. If you've ever heard of a Guido Mista, or Trish Una, please contact me.

...ah, I suppose I should introduce myself in the meantime. My name is Giorno Giovanna, and I greet all of you who were taken to this "Tower". Hopefully time will tell if I enjoy this place, or not. The atmosphere is...undesirable, however. But I'm sure some of you might have gathered that much in time.

...also, if anyone is kind enough to show me around, I would be grateful to you. I need to learn about as much of this place as I can before I can truly adventure and claim certain parts as safe. Also, a bit off the subject, but have any of you heard of what a "Stand" is? If you have, then let me know. I have some...things I'll be needing of you.

I suppose I can offer some protective services to you in the meantime- but if I can find some forms of self-defense for you...then you can consider that as a form of payment.

Hm, I do wonder what could have happened there...it'd be interesting to see the sort of damage and decay to my home... [Then again, a lot of things fascinate him.] But this place...can you tell me a little bit more?

Nah, I don't need it for self defense. I've got my own weapon for that. The pocket knife is so I can carve out a quiver.

From what I have been told, it is a virus that destroys worlds that caused the ruin. No trees or anything in my world when I went there-- Central Park was completely gone.

You got that letter that said you were saved, right? Near as I can tell it's all crap. Last month a lot of people were kidnapped and came back wrong. Couldn't talk, and a lot of them were horribly mutated. Seems this guy, Jason, likes to experiment on people for some sick pleasure.

Whoevers in charge this month, Riki, I think, seems a bit less sadistic but I couldn't tell you a lot about him.

A quiver? For a bow, I take it. Hm, naturally that would make you...an archer, correct?

[No life? That earns an eyebrow raise from him.] If such a virus like that was able to wipe out the entire world...no, worlds, even...I'm a little reluctant to return home, now.

[But hearing all of this does turn Giorno's expression a bit sour- experiments? On those that didn't deserve it?] I do remember that letter...but if it's telling us false things, then that would mean that the people running this place would be...ill. I hope that they don't have the misfortune of running into me, if that's the case.

...but thank you for this warning.

I have experience. I'm better with a sword, but hunting with a sword isn't the best.

It was pretty shocking for me, yeah.

I wouldn't go after the administrators. Before I got here, I was told one of them, Ruana, killed and ate an administrator that was trying to help us Broadcasted it for everyone to see.

A hunter? I wouldn't have imagined running into the sort in this place. Although, that would mean that there are monsters lurking in this place...

I'm sure it would be a shock to anyone- although that would mean that starting anew wouldn't be too hard, as well.

...hm~. That's would be under the assumption that they could touch me. Although, I do await to see what these "administrators" can do, seeing as how eating someone and broadcasting it would be quite terrifying.

You can't eat many of the monsters here, I don't think, but there's a forest here with normal animals. And there are these giant yellow birds. Kind of hard to track since they don't often show up during the day and other, more dangerous, things show up at night, but they look like giant chickens so I bet they taste good.

I'm glad I didn't see it, to tell you the truth.

I'm not much for meats in the first place- although, if they did have Octopi here, I would be enlightened and try to find some myself. Otherwise...I'm not sure if I would do much hunting for food in the first place. Food shouldn't be a problem for me, either way. ...but chicken sounds revolting, to be honest.

I would've imagined no one would want the pleasure of seeing such a gruesome sight.

Unfortunately I don't know if there's a garden.

Thankfully, there's actual good this month. Last month it was water and nutrition bars. Cardboard has more taste than those things.

Hm, if there isn't a garden here, then I'm sure I can make myself my own in the meantime.

[He's hoping it doesn't break any rules set in place here...]

Ah, like I said, I wouldn't need to worry myself much about food in the first place. I'll be able to supply myself with something else- instead of eating things that are less tasty than cardboard.

Sounds like a good plan.

Enlighten me for a bit, will you? You don't have any special abilities, do you?

I don't. Sorry.

Nothing but survival skills.

But that should be admirable in and of itself.

Maybe you can display them to me one day.

If we end up attack by monsters, I guess you'll see it then.

Hm~. If need be, we can possibly take them down together.

Hopefully we won't have to but better to know how to defend yourself in groups, you know?

True, I feel as though working as a team in this place may be central, either way. It's how I've lived back home, as well.
