intro log

who. everyone!
what. entering omega.
where. landing pads
when. today
warnings. none for now

You’re not sure how it happened.

A minute ago, you had somewhere to go, someplace to be. Maybe something important to do, or maybe you were just going out to buy groceries. Whatever it was, it doesn’t matter anymore.

You’re in some kind of transport -- a shuttle, given the turbulence and the sounds outside. You’re surrounded by strangers, some of whom might not even be the same species you are. There’s no point in asking. They don’t know how they got here either. The cockpit’s blocked off, like someone forgot to put in a door, and not even a glance at your omni-tool -- a holographic interface accessible by merely tapping the sensor on your left arm -- is any help.

You’ve only got a minute or so before the shuttle starts descending. There aren’t any windows -- this doesn’t look like a shuttle meant for long trips. When it finally touches down, the doors open automatically.

Before you are landing pads, abandoned equipment scattered about. There are other shuttles landing, and whether you like it or not, you’re going to have to get off before yours dumps you out the door. Turn around, and you’re met with a hazy skyline, only half the buildings seem to be coming from above.

Welcome to Omega.

[America categorizes this guy as "touchy", though unfortunately that doesn't really change America's behavior at all.]

Hey, don't ask me! I just showed up on one of those ships over there. 'D'that happen to you, too?

[Touchy is just the surface. Try "obsessive grudge holder with a cousin complex and a trigger-hair temper".]

Yes. I don't even know how it happened! I was just leaving the palace in a carriage. I'm sure I didn't fall asleep, and if someone dared to lay a finger on me to stow me on that metallic boat I would've felt it!

Yeah, it's like I got teleported there or something. It was kind've early but I definitely didn't just go back to sleep. [Though... Was it a dream? He pauses to pinch himself.]

Guess I'm not sleeping. But it happened to you, too? [Normally this sort of weirdness only happens to nations--if it's getting regular people involved it might be more serious...] What kinda place were you at? There aren't palaces where I'm from so were you in Europe or something?

That must be some barbarian backwater. I'm from-

[He catches himself just in time. To say "The Han Empire" would nearly be a lie, especially when he did not exactly consider himself a loyal member of the Emperor. He clears his throat.]

-the Middle Kingdom. Surely you know of it, boy.
fifty: (☆ we'll be there)

[personal profile] fifty 2013-02-07 02:12 pm (UTC)(link)
America's no barbarian backwater. [He huffs.] No one's really used a castle in like a thousand years or something.

[He pauses, running through the list of places he knows of. He hasn't heard of it, but that doesn't necessarily mean it doesn't exist--he's always been getting flak for his geography.] It sounds like it's in Egypt or China or something.
anarrowtotheeye: (Cocky)

[personal profile] anarrowtotheeye 2013-02-07 02:26 pm (UTC)(link)
If this America you speak of is not recorded in the historic annals, then it's nothing of importance. [Have an extremely smug smirk.]

I don't know an Egypt, but you're half right. The Middle Kingdom is another name for China. At least you know that much.

[America glares at him.] Yeah, it sounds like China a thousand years ago back when everyone had castles and rode in carriages. Did you get lost in time or something or is China--

[And then his mood lightens a little.] Did you get lost in time? [That would be so cool--time travel!] What year is it?
anarrowtotheeye: (Talk)

[personal profile] anarrowtotheeye 2013-02-07 03:02 pm (UTC)(link)
[Dun's equally as irritated. Usually youngsters have more respect and fear when they address him.] Watch yout tone with me, brat, I won't tolerate such rude behaviour--

[The last sentence catches him off guard, and he gives America a date which to America's ears, due to the forces that be that decided to break language barriers, comes out as 210 AD.]
fifty: (☆ God only knew)

[personal profile] fifty 2013-02-07 03:15 pm (UTC)(link)
Whoa, that's like two thousand years ago. [Well, closer to 1800, but who's counting? Even America can't really blame someone for not knowing about him when he won't be born for like a thousand years.] I'm from 2013! I knew China didn't use carriages anymore.

[Or at least he was kind of sure.]
anarrowtotheeye: (Don't waste my time)

[personal profile] anarrowtotheeye 2013-02-10 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
That's ridiculous, what nonsense are you babbling about!? Did you knock your head hard on the way out? And carriages are used in everyday life. I have no idea what you're talking about. Where are you from!?
