[substrictus]

...Hello?

[An up-close of curious green eyes stare into the video, still figuring out how this device works]

Not really sure how this thing works at all but...

[A sigh and he pulls back slightly so he's in full view now, hesitance on his expression before it shifts to one more serious]

If anyone's even out there... I want to know what's going on. If it's someone's idea of a joke, it's not very funny..

[Oh, it's Oz. Again. It looks like he forgot everything about this place... again.

Still, that doesn't stop Noel from being visibly surprised by him being here. And that expression on his face is really scaryandit'smakingherevenmorenervous. ;A;]

A-Ah, Oz! You're back! I'll... I'll be more than happy to help explain things! Um... Th-This place is called Somarium and it's kind of a dream world...

[I AM BEING INTIMIDATED BY A KID AND WHAT IS THIS.]

Mr. Oz?

[incorruption.livejournal.com]

You appeared in this dream world called Somarium. I'm sorry to say it's not a joke, but this place isn't so bad.

[Except she was having memories of very weird things...]

[Hearing that was enough to make him blink a bit before turning his gaze to somewhere to the side of him]

Somarium? A dream world?

[A pause]

What did you mean by... i'm back? I haven't ever been here before..

[Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Hmm?

How do you know my name?

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Oh it is you! Oh Mr. Oz it's wonderful to see you again!

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

...[Hesitates hearing that and sighs]

Dream world, huh?

Is there a way out of here?

[Right, this probably sounded weird and creepy to anyone who didn't remember this place.]

Um...! Actually, this might sound strange but when some people leave this place, they end up forgetting everything that's happened here... I-It's not the first time it happened. You forgot the last time you returned too...

[What to do... What to do... Ah! Maybe if she introduced herself, it might help.]

Um... I'm Noel Vermillion. We were friends... until you disappeared. N-Nice to meet you... again.

[She wasn't all that good with the device either, HOWEVER, when she heard and then SAW her brother on it, she did her best to succeed.

Her brother sounded upset. Upset... but alright. He wasn't hurt. He was alive. That was enough to bring a relieved smile to her face.]

Brother? ...Brother! You're alright...

[She's doing her best not to cry. Because Miss Vanessa told her not to.]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

...I don't remember being here anytime before this.

What are you talking about?

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Ah! You're in Somarium! A dream realm!

video.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[That was certainly new to him. He stares at her with a bit of an unimpressed look before sighing lightly. Normally he's not in such a bad mood but... it'll get better.]

...Eh? I guess it is nice to meet you. [Pauses] Even if I don't remember any of those times before...

[Huffs softly] Is there any way out of here, Noel?

[Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

A dream realm?

...So this is all in my head?

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Um... well... a little yes.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[Oh snap! It's his sister! His sour expression melts away to show genuine surprise before an almost sad smile shows on his lips. He could never really hide his emotions from her.]

Ada!

[Hesitates slightly]

I... yeah. I'm alright. What about you?

video.

[bloomtrigger.livejournal.com]

[Oh, that unimpressed look. Noel was used to receiving those from a lot of people, but that never stopped her from reacting with a dejected expression. She shakes her head.]

... Not willingly. If there were, I'm sure there wouldn't be many residents here right now. Most of the people who live here were also taken from their worlds, myself included. I've been stuck here for almost a year now...

[Ah, that reminds her--]

I-It's not all that bad, though! Everyone here is really nice, a-and there's people from your world here too!

[purethingsonly.livejournal.com]

[And she wouldn't want him to. Ever. So she tries to do the same. She doesn't like hiding things from him.]

Oh I'm alright.

[She smiles.]

Miss Vanessa cheered me up.

[That's... one way of putting what happened, yes...]

[video]

[naivelysanguine.livejournal.com]

[Here Oz, have a sweetly smiling Euphie.]

Oh, you must be new! I know it's a lot to take in, but this is a place called Somarium. It's a world of dreams.

[video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[Yes... he was in a sour mood but with someone like her smiling like that, his anger kinda falters]

A world of... dreams?

But... how did I get here?

[disruptstatice]

[..oh! Oz too? Oz and Ada. Definitely a much appreciated improvement.

Except that it's, you know, a shame they have to be stuck here too but everything considering... He can't help but be rather happy about it. Oz seems... a little strange, though.

Well, have a smile either way, Oz.]

Mister Oz! Welcome to Somarium.

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

Huh? Vanessa?

That's... Elliot's sister, right?

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

[Upon seeing Leo, that sour mood of his is a bit dampened. Seeing as he was worried about the other before he woke up here. So that frown is disappearing and is replaced with a bit of a tired, but relieved look]

Leo! I'm glad to see you're alright.

[pauses] Eh? Somarium? I've never heard of a place like that before..

[Video]

[substrictus.livejournal.com]

A little?

Can't I wake up then?

[Video]

[madcuriosity.livejournal.com]

Well... yes.

[video]

[naivelysanguine.livejournal.com]

[If she knew that a simple smile helped ease someone's anger, they would be a permanent fixture on her face. Not that they aren't generally anyways.]

Yes. It's a bit...complex. From what I've been told, we're brought here through our dreams, and for some...following death. I certainly hope your case isn't the latter? [She frowns a bit in concern.]
