1st Combo - [video]

[The video comes on in a jolt of motion, which stills to a skewed image of pavement, buildings, and a soaking wet teenage boy clad in red and black lying on the ground. He winces as though he'd just hit the ground. Hard.]

Oww...

[Pushing himself up off the ground, he rubs his head.]

Is everyone all...

[Wait. Something's wrong. He looks around the plaza with clearly growing alarm, but still not at the SFC.]

Guys? Where is everyone?

[And where in the world is he?!]

[OOC: I'm up for action or network replies. Either works for me!]

No, no, no! It's obsolete, not oddsolete.

[WOW Lloyd...you're a genius already, he can tell.]

Yeah. It's yours now - whatever brings us here gives it to us when we show up.

Obsolete? That makes even less sense. [His brow furrows.[ Is that even a word?

[Genius material, yup.]

I guess that makes up a little for coming here when we didn't want to. Sort of. It is a pretty cool thing. Now I can talk to people whenever I want to. How awesome is that?

[Still not enough to make up completely, but hey, cool stuff!]

Yes, it's a word! It means it's old!

[HUFF. okay, he's not going to lose his temper. He is. Perfectly. Calm.

...Except not really.]

Awesome, I guess. If you're not used to it anyway.

[He's used to that sort of thing...]

If you meant old, then why didn't you just say that instead of using words no one else knows?

[Well, maybe not no one. He's willing to bet Genis and the Professor both know about that word.

But that's almost a given and they don't count.]

I'm definitely not used to it. Man, now I'm excited to have one to myself!

Hey, I'm trying to help you and you're getting weird about word choices?

[Oh Lloyd...]

It's not like it's anything special, but whatever floats your boat.

[The reprimand hits home, and Lloyd flushes just a bit. He ducks his head.]

Sorry...

So, uh, thanks. For helping me, I mean.

[A little late on the manners, but better late than never, right?]

I'm Lloyd.

[...awww poor Lloyd.]

It's okay, and you're welcome.

[Definitely better late than never.]

Yosuke. Good to meet you.

Good to meet you, too, Yosuke.

So...

[Still a little bit of awkward left.]

Anything else I should know?

[Of course.]

There's these things called curses that happen every so often. They can range from hats you can't take off to zombie-people running around.

A hat like that doesn't sound too bad, but ugh, zombies. So this place has those, too? Good thing I already know how to fight them.

...You had zombies in your world?

[There were something similar in the TV world but. What?]

Yeah.

[He makes a face.]

They're kind of gross to fight.

[Still, fighting zombies wasn't as bad as fighting people. Zombies were already dead.]

You gotta be careful not to breathe too much, or look too closely at them. I mean, you have to look at them so you know where you have to hit them, but... [Not exactly keen on going into details.] They're rotting.

[That should sum it up.]

Duh, I'd think so.

[That's true too. At least he didn't have to fight many people.]

Well if you can fight them, more power to you. It's not easy fighting that stuff.

If zombies is the worst that happens, I think I can handle that. If you run into any and need any help, just let me know.

[He's got the zombie thing covered.]

I think I got it, but thanks anyway. If you need anything, let me know.

Sure thing!

[Dwarven vow number one, after all. They should all work together for the sake of a peaceful world.]

Hey, I'm going to see if I can find my friends and make sure they're all right. I'll see you later, okay?

Yeah. See you later, then...and good luck.

[Oh well.]
