[Video] 01st Rule

[...Huh. Being back in this familiar place brings back lots of memories. Some are fond, some are...not.]

Well. I didn't expect to be back here again. Things look relatively peaceful in the bubble, but I wouldn't be surprised if things have changed.

[He looks a little amused.]

At least, the last thing I remember while I was here was that it was nearing the summer time...hm, about a year or two ago, according to the calendar on the SFC.

[Joshua shrugs.]

I'd honestly be surprised if anyone still remembers me, or if any of my old acquaintances are still here. So, I'd like to know what has changed, if you would be so kind?

Huh. The bubble's bringing back all kinds of people, isn't it.

It gives one some mixed feelings about it, honestly. I have both fond and rather bad memories of Vatheon.

[Doesn't look like Neku's here, either, WHICH IS GOOD IN HIS OPINION. Holy Angels things got bad.]

Still, it saves the more tedious explanations, at the very least. I'm Joshua, by the way. I don't think you were here when I was.

Sounds like typical Vatheon.

Dirk. I probably wasn't- got here for the first time about six months ago.

It was more the not-so-typical people it so enjoys bringing in.

No, it sounds like you arrived at least a year after I had gone home. I suppose I can see this as a "fresh" new start for me. After checking the contacts list, it seems that there are more unfamiliar names than not.

Still sounds like Vatheon. We've got everything from a talking coyote to a god of death, you're not spoiled for choice here.

Might be that the familiar names won't recognize you, though I doubt you need to be told that. Some people have lasted more than a year, but not many, proportionally.

We've had angels, demons, Death herself, and the first murderer before. I feel that if the worst on the list is a god of death, then Vatheon has been getting rather tame.

[Though, now he's curious to meet this god of death.]

Been there, done that. [Joshua nods.] Yes, I knew one who was here for longer than a year, but he's not here anymore according to the contacts list. A pity. He was interesting to talk to.

[Well, this person must have been here in the first year... Zelda has no idea who they are. Or perhaps they were around before she started monitoring things quite so closely.]

Hello, sir. Welcome back to Vatheon.

[Oh. Wow. That's an elf. Okay, granted, Joshua isn't all that surprised since he's seen stranger beings that Vatheon has brought (Alucard..............), but it does make him pause momentarily.]

Thank you. In some ways, it's good to be back. Though, really, it doesn't feel as if I really left. Quite the peculiar and disconcerting feeling, I must say.

No time passed for you at home at all? Curious.

[Well, he did already introduce himself, so she should give her name too.]

My name is Zelda, by the way. It's a pleasure to meet you.

Exactly so. I was taken perhaps a few seconds after my first time.

A pleasure to meet you, Zelda. How have you been faring in Vatheon so far?

I have been here for over a year at this point, so I would say I've adjusted. I currently run the Welcoming Committee here - Minato ran it just before I did. Did you know him?

[Minato....]

I've heard of him, but I can't say I personally knew him. Blue hair, headphones, and wearing a school uniform, correct?

Yes, that's right. He's not here any longer, but he knew quite a few people.

[Thinking back that far has her pondering on Izaya, but she'd rather not talk about that.]

We have a small database now that holds some information about the curses and a few other things. Why don't you drop by the Welcome Center? I'll show you.
