[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...?

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.

[closedcircuit]

Yes. Unfortunately.

Colonel of what, if I may ask? An army, where you come from?

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[There's a displease expression at that. At the question, he nodded.]

Commander of the Third Division, Malkuth Imperial Forces.

[closedcircuit]

I see. I can't say I've ever heard of it...

Well, if after you've had a chance to settle in, there is a Defense Force that has been made by some of the people here for protection purposes. If you'd be interested in it.

[As purpose-driven as Ky was, it was the Defense Force that had helped ease his transition the most.]

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Hm.. Where would you be from, then?

Defense Force? I'll keep it in mind, thank you.

[closedcircuit]

France. I was a captain in the International Police Force, and before that the Commander of the Sacred Order of Holy Knights.

No problem. Minato Arisoto is the one to contact, if you want more information.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

[Jade offers a light salute to the man, nodding.]

Thank you. How long have you been here?

[closedcircuit]

Three months. It's...I've learned a lot

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Is that so? Interesting. What can you tell me about this place?

[closedcircuit]

I meant on a more personal level, I suppose. But the worlds that we all have come from...aren't always what I would expect.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

The worlds? So I'm on a different planet.

[How troublesome. Jade has much to do back home, he can't spend his time here lollygagging about.]

[closedcircuit]

Or an alternate dimension, yes.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Both are... Highly troublesome.

[He frowns and touches his chin in thought.]

[closedcircuit]

I agree. Unfortunately it seems as though there's no other way to explain it.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Hmmm.. And we're just supposed to coexist until there comes a time when we can leave?

[closedcircuit]

Coexisting certainly seems better than the alternative.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

Undoubtedly. However, I don't fancy the idea of being trapped.

[He looked up at the watery 'sky']

[closedcircuit]

No. I don't think that most of us do. Unfortunately that doesn't change the reality.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

So I've guessed. I hear accommodations are free. Am I expected to just select somewhere to live and bunker down there?

[closedcircuit]

There's no formal process, but there are various apartments available. You can, I believe, pick anything that's free. Or lodge with other people, if you prefer that.

[bootsweremadeforcasting]

I don't think I'll need to lodge with anyone. I suppose I'll just pick one and sort it out from there.

Thank you for your assistance.
