001- Welcome to Hotel California~!

[by_the_horns]

[Well now this wasn't her motel room was it? A clean bed in a clinic wasn't as nice as a cushy motel double bed, especially since her most favourite person in the world was apparently absent... Awww why couldn't they kidnap him as well?]

Dammit all, ugh.

[Reluctantly she rolls out of bed and shuffles through the cupboard, pulling out her deck coat and her boots. Once she was ready she steps out of the clinic with a bounce in her step, this place was was surprisingly vacant for a NESTS building- Or maybe this wasn't NESTS at all and someone else decided to track her and K9999 down.

Angel sharply turns the corner only to crash into someone, putting her hands up in mock surrender and a laugh.]

Whoa there, don't ya know this place is big enough for the two of us?

Comments

[vaudevil]

There have been studies of other planets like Earth and I have to admit, I hadn't looked outside the window to inspect the trees. Have you?

[The architecture certainly looks man-made, but hey, he's over-thinking. Lee does that from time to time.]

The possibility of us being in a nexus that resembles our respective homes could also mean a string dimension between a thin veil of reality. How acutely strange that it resembles a university than an airport terminal or train station.

Then again, no one has actually seen a nexus or mirror dimension in order to speak against it otherwise.

[by_the_horns]

Well no, kind weird that a different nexus or dimension would be abducting people though.

[Lee had Angel thinking hard now about her situation, if she were in another Nexus or dimension- Which was possible, proven by what she had heard about past events back home involving certain people. The question was why her of all people and most importantly, it means she was seperated from her partner in crime.]

Yeah that is strange huh? Maybe we're here to be re-educated or be the big boss's new rats... Or something. I wonder why they chose us though, they didn't even leave us a memo.

[vaudevil]

I don't...think so. Otherwise, if we're here for another person's experiment, wouldn't they have dropped a sign about now? Especially when we first wake up?

[by_the_horns]

Maybe that's the idea, see how long it takes for us to figure it out.

[She's going to pout now at having her theory shot down.]

Well, fine. What's yer theory as to why they'd abduct us?

[vaudevil]

Well, there is merit to your theory, so the kidnapping isn't entirely ruled out. However, I'm interested in finding out what brought us here rather than the who. I'll leave that to the people that want to waste their time and energy against an unseen enemy.

[His voice is soft but firm.]

The why, well, my theory is simple. Boredom.

[by_the_horns]

[She was quiet and biting her bottom lip, frowning slightly. She wasn't all too happy to be brought here just because someone, or something was bored.]

How ya gonna find out? I'll help ya out if I can.

[vaudevil]

Snooping around usually does the trick. It's a matter of principle in this case.

[He sighs, resting his arms on his chest, he thinks for a few breaths.]

If anyone dares keep me prisoner, they will regret their mistakes.

[by_the_horns]

[Angel's back to grinning.]

'Cause yer such a tough guy, right?

[vaudevil]

[He's laughing now. His ability to think through things isn't the only thing he's better at than some, he's just finally glad to make a little bit of a scene when he wants to.]

Hardly. I'm just smarter than the average bear. I don't have to beat anyone physically if I don't want to.

[by_the_horns]

B'aaw, then what's the fun in that, Smarty pants?

[vaudevil]

Oh, don't think I can't fight, my dear.

[Lee liked playing the card that he wasn't able to defend himself only to surprise his opponents later.]

I'll just say that I enjoy the game.

[by_the_horns]

[That was a card Angel liked to play as well, especially in unfamiliar surroundings, she had always found people were a bit more forth coming when you were a sweet and innocent girl. Of course not everybody would buy the act, but that's where persistence was required.]

Oh really? Maybe ya can teach me some moves later, y'know, after we settle in. Just in case there are creepers lurkin' about.

[vaudevil]

I could. I don't see why not.

[He won't teach her everything though. There are some moves that he values as his own signature moves that he teaches no one else.]

Given that I hadn't seen many people about this place other than us at this point, I doubt you'll come across any creepers.
