[Nesreca, you have a new resident. Due to some unforeseen circumstances, he has found himself near some dilapidated buildings somewhere in Russia, and not on a boat in a rainstorm. Unfortunately, nothing of his initial reaction to finding himself suddenly compatriotless, in entirely the wrong location, is recorded. But trust me, it had been fairly loud. After scrambling up and down buildings and yelling at nothing for a bit, he takes a moment to calm a little and survey the situation.  At which point he discovers the PDA.

The following is typed with the slow deliberateness of someone testing out a rather dubious device, picking at the little virtual keys one by one.]

[--And then he accidentally hits enter. Which doesn't appear to do much... Alright, so it's like a tiny, hand-held, paperless typewriter. Which seems like a stunningly useless waste of technology. How is this any more convenient than writing on a piece of paper? And why the hell was it in his pocket? They must've slipped it in as part of the new uniform...

...And then, it occurs to him that it may serve as some sort of text-only golem. Seems like the sort of thing the Order would invent, anyway.

So, while he makes his way through Nesreca searching for any sign of activity, he types, on the off chance that anyone is reading this:]

answer.

If you were possessed that could make you part demon!!

[bluedemonflames]

It would make me possessed idiot! And I'm not!

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

Not if you were like a Noah! How are you half-demon, then!?

[bluedemonflames]

I had a human mother! That's how! I don't get the Noah thing! It didn't make sense!

[And because Rin is quickly losing his temper in this shouting match small blue flames start to flicker across his shoulders and down his arms. Kuro stares up at him and mews loudly in warning.]

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

What you're saying makes no sense!

[Oh, well, that's not a good sign. Red shifts into a defensive stance, ready to activate his Innocence the second this guy moves.]

[bluedemonflames]

Yeah it does! A human and a demon makes a half demon! You work it out!

[The flames flare up a little as he ends his sentence and then die back down.]

Look I don't wanna fight with you! I'm just tryin' to take you to the apartment building!

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

I've never heard of demons like that!

[At least not real ones.

He glares at him for a moment longer-- and he only drops the stance after a pause, when he's sure Rin's not about to burst into evil flames or something.]

[bluedemonflames]

That's because we're not from the same place. Never heard of your Noah before here. If you wanna know more about the demons I'm talking about you should ask my old man or brother. They get this stuff better and they're here.

[He starts walking towards Red along with Kuro.]

The building is back this way. Come on. The ghost kid tell you what room you're in?

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Steps back away from him, so he can follow behind.]

What ghost kid?

[bluedemonflames]

The girl with the white hair.

[Rin takes up the lead, picking his way through the rubble of the ruined city.]

She likes to call us toys and crap like that.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Following!]

Oh... Yeah, someone kept writing to me about toys and repeating a number. 105.

[bluedemonflames]

[Rin looks back over his shoulder.]

That's your room. Your name will be on the door. I'm in 204.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

...How's my name on the door?

[bluedemonflames]

That's just how it works. Must be the ghosts. [He shrugs.]

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Since when can ghosts do any of these things!!]

None of this makes any sense!

[bluedemonflames]

You'll get used to it.

[He just keeps walking along towards the building. Good thing this city isn't too big.]

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[IRRITATED GRUMBLE. He shall continue trailing behind, keeping a close eye on Rin and the cat. He just wants to get to the apartments, hopefully find a familiar face and figure out exactly what's going on here.]

[bluedemonflames]

[Eventually the building will come into sight. Rin stops a little ways from the door and motions to it with a hand.]

This is the place.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Just as they reach it, there's a glint of gold high in the sky, and down comes a fat ball of golem. Timcanpy plops himself sadly down on Red's head, and the boy just rolls his eyes and mutters;]

Useless.

[He'd hoped Tim would have been able to find some clues as to what happened. Oh well. Red glances up at the building, and continues towards it.]

Why's this building the only one in decent shape?

[bluedemonflames]

Hey it's that thing! What's it's name? [Rin points at Tim and looks to Kuro who mews.]

Timcanpy? [Which means Red is definitely another universe version of Allen.]

I dunno why this is the only one like this or what happened to trash this place. It was a long time ago. Sometimes a part of town will be like it was before whatever happened for a while and it's always really old looking.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

...You know about Timcanpy? [Tim flaps his wings in greeting from atop his perch! INDEED, IT IS HE.]

What are you talking about? Parts of town turn old-looking?

[bluedemonflames]

Yeah. I told you I met a guy that looks like you. He must have been you.

[He scratches at his head thoughtfully.]

It happened to the market a while back. It wasn't ruined anymore and looked like people were still using it. No one was there. We got some good stuff out of it, but it's old. Looks like its from a hundred friggin' years ago or something.

[He tugs on his shirt, which while not buttoned up properly, is still in the style of the late 1800s.] Like this.

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

[Snapping;] --Whoever the fuck you're talking about, he wasn't me!

[Goddang. He'll have to ask Lavi about that, too.]

[...And that makes this sound like it could very well be some sort of Innocence phenomenon. Although he just raises an eyebrow at the comment about the shirt.]

That shirt looks normal. You're wearing it wrong.

[bluedemonflames]

He was some version of you!

[And looking back down at shirt again.]

Eh? There's nothin' normal about it! I look like a friggin' cosplayer!

[meansprout.livejournal.com]

I don't care who he was, he wasn't me!

[POINTING AT THE SHIRT]

That's what people wear, idiot! What the fuck is a cosplayer!?
