[Whoever is in the center of town at the moment might experience a blue speedbump on the ground. The little starfish communicator pops open next to him and the feed opens to the side of Jade's head as he grumbles and lets out an irritated groan. Staring up at the.... sky(?) Jade sat up and gave a look around to his surroundings, then to the little item on the ground next to him.

Frowning, he shook out his soaked hands, understandably confused as to why he was soaked from head to toe. Tataroo was entirely dry save for the river and he hadn't fallen into that. However, the bigger concern was where he was. This didn't look remotely close to anything he knew, which was saying a lot for a man who'd traveled the world. He certainly didn't like the looks of that sky or that... coral in the center of town. After a minute, he stood, ignoring the little device that had been next to him and tried patting himself a bit dryer as he examined his immediate surroundings for foes.]

How peculiar. Is it possible I was brought here, or am I dreaming...?

[Oh, Jade. You look...

...ridiculous. Zelda has gotten over her need to conceal any sort of power that she holds, so she extends a glowing hand and draws the water from his clothing, sending it to the coral.]

Likewise. I wish you luck in finding your friends soon.

...by the way. I never did get your name.

[Lloyd looks at Jade blankly.]

Something... scrambled the fonons? What're fonons?

Jade. And yours?

[Jade blinked as the water was suddenly gone and he looked himself over. He looked back to her, seeming to be a bit more presentable even if his hair was still a tad messy.]

Thank you again~

[A nod of his head and a smile.]

You're a magic user?

[He flicks his glasses open and now cleans them on his uniform.]

[O.. Kay..?]

Basic building blocks of life, energy.

Not so artful as some others here, but yes, I am.

[Judging by the suddenly childish smile on her face in place of her reserved expressions before, it is a favorite topic of Zelda's.]

Ah, that's at least something I can't do. It's unique, at least.

[That explanation sounds vaguely familiar.]

Like mana?

I've no clue what mana is.

General Alister Azimuth.

Former Four Bolt Magistrate of the Lombax Praetorian Guard and elder Councilman for the Center of Advanced Lombax Research.

You are too kind. I would be happy to teach it to you once you have settled in a bit. I was going to show a friend my method of casting, anyway.

[It's difficult for her to not barrage the new man with questions about his sort of magic, but she manages.]

Ah, another soldier; Comforting.

[Sincere as he could be with that. It was nice to know there were other level-headed people about.]

You were brought here, I'm sorry to have to inform you.

[Ky offers out a towel.]

Welcome. This place's name is Vatheon.

It would be useful and this old man wouldn't mind learning a new trick~

[He smirked amicably enough to her.]

It's...

[Whoa, this is kind of surreal. He's the one being asked to explain complicated stuff? Well, why not? Maybe he'll be good at it! It can't be that hard, right?]

Mana's the energy inside people and things that everything needs to live. It's what people need to use magic or special fighting techniques, only most people don't really know how to use it, and they don't have very much. Most people who can use it are elves or half-elves.

[Jade looked at the man cautiously, but he took the towel and removed his glasses to dry his face. After it was a bit better, he nodded to the man.]

Thank you. I assume Vatheon is the city. Does the sky always look like that? [He looked up, seeming somewhat concerned by it.]

A former soldier, but yes. The Guard is... disbanded, back where I'm from.

So I spent my days on Torren IV, instead.

[Jade blinks, but accepts that for now.]

It sounds exactly like fonons, sans the elves bit.

Ah. [A light, two-fingered salute.]

Colonel Jade Curtiss, Commander of the Third Division Malkuth Imperial Forces.

[Old? He doesn't really appear to be, but the princess doesn't comment. She just inclines her head.]

Whenever it suits you.

[Not wanting to delay him from finding the people from his homeworld further (she, after all, would be itching for this conversation to be over were she in his shoes so that she could question people she actually knew), she waves once more and heads back to the Welcoming Center.]

It does. We're a little...underwater.

[Ky offered his hand out.]

I'm Ky Kiske. None of us know how we got here, or how we to get home again.

[What?

Lloyd's brow furrows and he gives Jade a funny look.]

I wasn't talking about sand. Where did that even come from?

[Instinctively, Alister stiffens at the salute, Omniwrench firmly planted in his hand and back straight as he regards the other.]

Colonel.

--or do you prefer Commander?

Underwater?

[There's a frown and he looks back to Ky when the hand is offered. He gave it a firm shake and nodded.]

Colonel Jade Curtiss. [He went back to toweling off some of his hair.]

So we're trapped.
