1st Flight | Video

[angelicbadass]

[The SFC feed clicks on to reveal a boy with brown hair dressed in a white and gold tunic with a laurel crown on his head. The strangest thing about him are the wings on his back. He's looking around and quite confused. He obviously doesn't realize the SFC is on. For that matter, he doesn't seem to realize there's a SFC.]

[He mutters to himself]Okay, I know the credits should be rolling now that I defeated Hades, so where am I? Lady Palutena? Viridi? Pitoo? Hades?! Wait, I fried you with a giant laser. I wouldn't want to talk to you anyway.

[He finally sees the SFC on the ground and picks it up.] Um, is this thing on? Okay. Hey there. My name's Pit, servant of the Goddess of Light. Has anyone seen someone named Lady Palutena? She isn't answering my prayers. She has long green hair and matching green eyes. If you see her, tell her Pit's looking for her.

[Servant of the Goddess? Someone from Angelo's world, perhaps? He doesn't look like any of Angelo's friends, though... To Serph, this newcomer is a demon, given those wings of his.

Serph's voice is calm and even when he responds to the post.]

I have not; you're in a land far from your own. You'll find a brochure amongst your belongings that explains much.

[angelicbadass]

[He is so not a demon thank you. Pit hears the voice and reaches into his pocket to pull out the brochure. He looks at it for a few moments before responding.]

This is a bit embarrassing, but I can't read.

[bufudine]

[Ah... How unfortunate; Serph has never been terribly good at this explaining thing. Nevertheless!]

I will summarise.

[The basic outline of points that he thinks are most important, anyway.]

You have been pulled to this world from your own, like myself and many others, though we don't know the reason. Although some of us have left, it has never been of our own volition.

People like us are known as foreigners, and are marked with a tattoo [which Serph would show, except his is... kind of. on his butt...] and own a StarFish Communicator like this.

[Serph gives his a little shake, wobbling the video, to demonstrate what that is.]

Those without belong to this world. They are known as locals and provide almost everything to foreigners free of charge.

[A pause.]

Do you have any questions so far?

[angelicbadass]

[Pit listens to all the info.]

Can I ask who you are?

[bufudine]

Serph, a leader of the foreigner run Defense Force here. Ky Kiske is the other.

[He's also leader of his Tribe, that that's less important for a recent arrival. Also people eater, but that's not something you say on a first meeting.]

[angelicbadass]

A Defense Force? [That piques his intrest.]

[bufudine]

Sometimes there are incidents that may threaten the safety of people here. We aim to keep residents as safe as possible; not everyone can fight.

[angelicbadass]

[Yep. You've got his attention.]

Can I join?

[faiofmisfortune]

Um, I don't think your Lady Palutena is here. It's not a name that's on the foreigner list.

[angelicbadass]

Huh. So what is this place?

[faiofmisfortune]

It's a place that brings together people and things from different worlds.

[angelicbadass]

I know that much. So what's it called?

[faiofmisfortune]

Oh, it's called Vatheon. You might hear some people call it the bubble, too.

[angelicbadass]

Why's it called the bubble?

[faiofmisfortune]

I think because the barrier that keeps us all safe and alive down here is like a bubble. There's an island we can go up to, but I hear there's only so far out you can go before you hit a barrier there too.

[angelicbadass]

What do you mean down here?

[mysterious_groper]

Goddess of Light?

Sounds like an odd world.

And, uh, the only person I know matching that description... Well, didn't have that name.

And also kinda went kersplodey back on my homeworld. Big time.

[angelicbadass]

He exploded?! I'm sorry.

[mysterious_groper]

Nah, she was a jerk. Wanted to use someone else's power to take over the world.

[angelicbadass]

That's awful.

[mysterious_groper]

... Actually, a more accurate desciption would be "Replace all life on the planet with new life that she'd be the goddess over".

[angelicbadass]

That's even worse!

[mysterious_groper]

Yeah. But she exploded, so no worries, right?

[fullmetalfanboy]

You have wings on your back. Another person here can grow them here!

[He found that kind of neat!] I don't think I have seen anyone who looks like that. I will keep her name in mind in case I do see her.

[angelicbadass]

You mean there's another angel here?
