[ and hello completely foreign world that asbel has never known about until he found himself in the middle of you.

at first all that can be seen is a house. a regular, decent sized house with two floors -- all made out of pillows. it's quite possibly one of the most bizarre things the young lord had ever seen in his life, and that was saying a lot.

before long a pair of confused blue and purple eyes peeks into the screen itself, blinking once or twice before it pulls back to show a young man with a bewildered look on his face.]

So we're really supposed to live in these? I'm really not dreaming am I...this sure brings me back.

[ a hand goes to the back of his head before he straightens slightly, hesitantly offering a friendly, still slightly puzzled smile. ]

Ah well..hello, everyone! My name is Asbel Lhant, and it seems like I'm as stuck as the rest of you guys are. Could I get an estimate of how many of us there are right now? I know we're in these different 'districts' but I think it'd be useful if we could all look out for each other, you know?

It's true I don't really know very much, but I'd like to help out however I can. But before that..

[ a pause ]

Is anyone here from a planet called Ephinea? It's the name of my world. In particular I'm looking for a girl named Sophie. Her hair's really long and purple and um..she wears it like this.

[ as if he knows girl's hair man, he'll be making the allusion of pigtails with his hands on top of his head. real mature, asbel. ]

If you find her, could you please let me know as soon as possible? I don't want her wandering around by herself. Also if you guys have figured anything out about this place I could use the information. The more I know the more I can help out, right?

Thanks for listening.

[ the feed clicks. ]

[ action; ]

[ after that little thing you'll find asbel in front of a pillow house; the same one in the video, poking at it confusedly while keeping an eye out for whoever walks by. after inspecting it a little, he looks around ]

Shouldn't I be paying for this..? Can I even live in something made out of pillows? What if the food is made out of pillows?!

[goodwilled]

Uh, sure I can do that but Mike--?

[ a sheepish pause ]

What's a car?

[ good, that's better. he'd rather try and raise spirits up because it's better for everyone that way -- makes someone more willing to look for answers and besides he hated seeing anyone down. ]

Well, we'll figure it out. Still there has to be some reason, right? Then again this place is made out of pillows -- it's hard to find a reason in that.

[He blinks at Asbel's question because it's the first time he has ever heard anyone ask that. He opens his mouth and closes it, realizing that he really should've expected something like this.]

Uhhh, it's... it's a form of transportation. Hold on, let's see if I can...

[Mike moves off screen for a minute as he tries to fiddle with the controls. There's a moment of muttered swearing that's soon followed by a transparent pop up appearing on screen, showing a green sports car spinning in a circle. Mike pops back up on screen, grinning in triumph.]

Aha! There we go. [He turns to look at Asbel, smiling] That's a car. They're everywhere in my world--well, where I live in my world, so I guess I just took it for granted that it would be the same everywhere else.

[goodwilled]

[ he takes in that car with curious eyes. ]

Wow..I've never seen anything like that before. It looks like something Pascal would have made.

[ no doubt she could have done it. still color him impressed! tilting his head he blinks ]

So that's how you travel long distances? Usually people use Turtlez for that.

[fastcarsandfreedom]

[He raises his eyebrow in disbelief.]

Uh, you don't mean actual turtles, right? They'd be kinda small, wouldn't they?

[goodwilled]

Huh? Well, I don't know what other Turtlez I'd be talking about. They look just like us save for their outfits and the shells on their backs. Plus they have transportation with Turtlez that are pretty huge. It's one of the ways people travel long distance that isn't by boat or ship.
