[ there is a sudden sparking that emits from your magical watches and a hologram appears, showing a petit woman with dark hair. her eyes seem to hold a certain amount of mischief and light, and when she speaks, you listen. it's something about her; you are captivated by her presence, and you can't help but give her your attention. ]

Hello, hello, hello~! ♥

[ it's a trill of a voice, light and airy. ]

I know you've all just arrived~♥ but I wanted to introduce myself! To those who haven't met me, my name is Astoria! I know many of you are likely unhappy with being found here, and I understand. But the need is urgent, and dire, and I am in desperate need of your help, as is the universe in which we reside. There is much darkness, in this universe . . . plenty of worlds on the brink of collapse, or at the precipice of something great. It is my job -- our job -- to help where needed. Like superheroes, but a little less flashy!

[ she pauses. ]

No offense to the superheroes. -- but anyway! I want to let you know were we're going to go first.

[ she takes in a D E E P breath!! ]

There is a city, by the name of El Minha. It's beautiful, an oasis in the desert. There are many shops and stalls and the entire city is bustling, but El Minha is facing a difficult path. Transitions of power are hard, you know? And they have a new King, who is . . . probably nice, but the people there are suffering. Crime is at an all-time high, and King Kathashun can only do so much . . . if he's doing anything at all.

[ she brushes a loose piece of hair behind her ear, and astoria smiles a little. it is obvious, by now, that she's definitely bubbly and full of spirit, but she is deadly serious about her mission. ]

I truly believe that we have the ability to help those who need it most, and those people are in desperate need. So we're going to go there, explore, and talk to them! And maybe, just maybe, we can affect some good in this world, and change the tide for the better for these poor people.

[ she pauses. ]

So that's where we're going first! But before that, I'm here to greet you, to support you, and welcome you to my beautiful Temple. Please, please, please make yourselves at home! I'll be here if you have any questions. ♥

[ astoria pauses before lifting up a single finger, as if she's forgotten something important. ]

Oh, and please let me know if you find anything interesting or important or otherwise peculiar in the Temple! The Forest of the Fey is a magical place, and I'm keeping a careful eye on all of you explorers to make sure you don't get too lost, but my dear friends within the forest may like playing with you all, so be respectful of the wildlife! It may fight back. ♥

[ is she serious? the world may never know. ]

Lady!!

The response is as close to serious and scolding as a nervous and twitch kid can get, but Tweek's giving it his best.]

What do you mean probably nice! Are we supposed to be superheros and clean up the city? That's a lot of pressure!! And it sounds super dangerous!!

[There's a small twitch starting at his left eye with the thought of everything and how overwhelming it all is.]

And how do we know you aren't evil!? How do we know that we're doing the right thing?? Maybe the city is actually good and you want us to go and do bad things!

[ After taking up a vacant room, Rean hadn't had a lot of choice in the matter but to settle. His sleep wasn't particularly good nor bad, but it was enough for him to be active, and after putting on his jacket, he hadn't really an idea of how to go forward. He had learned a lot for how long he had arrived, but if there were to be some sort of guidepost, it'd have to come from Astoria herself.

Which, suffice it to say, she had impeccable timing enough to really sell that role. On his bedroom table, next to the...new set of decor--Rean had made a face towards--his watch beams. He had heard her voice before, so there wasn't any doubting who it was. Rean didn't have much of a choice but to listen.

There had been a lot to take in, but Rean wasn't satisfied with her. So, his reaction remains a little hostile. ]


Are you actually going to listen to questions? It's the least you could do, after all.

[ He's not too happy. Despite that, however, he feels that she's at least trying to do good in one way or another, so regardless, he feels a bit regretful for his attitude... ]

[Someone sounds skeptical. Someone is also a teenager, so tends to sound skeptical by default, but you know. She has reason to here, anyway.]

The last time I got kidnapped by somebody who wanted me to make a difference, they turned me into a monster. What's keeping you from doing the same thing?

[Noct is trying not to feel entirely uncomfortable about that entire talk of New Kings and Transitions of power, because his own situation is - touchy, to say the least. How much does she know? Did she just take anyone at random? Is this something he can't just explain his own crisis of and be returned home?

He has a harder time really gathering his words, because he listens - and decides it can't hurt, to help a little. What's one sidetrip after another to do? Shutting his eyes for a moment, like he can send a little prayer of Sorry Luna, wait for me just a little longer, Noct finally tries to speak up.
]

Uh - thanks, for bringing us here. Safely. And at least explaining what's going on. [Noct hesitates for a moment, because there's a lot of other things he could say or ask and - you know, he just wants to try and not be slack-jawed about this stuff for once in his life.]

Are there... any side effects we should know about, for all this world hopping? [It isn't like he hasn't noticed his lack of magic or anything, nah, not at all- yES it's noTICABLE.]

[This is leagues better than he expected but he's still skeptical. He waits until he's sure of what he wants to say.]

Do you mind going back over what you mean by there being a lot of darkness in the universe? ...correct me if I'm wrong but it sounds like you're looking for people to assist in balancing the universe.

And just what is causing this darkness? Is it natural, or?

Oh! Oh! Um! I have some questions!

[He actually has to pause for a second to organize his thoughts, because for once, he has too many for even HIM to be able to just blurt out without actually thinking through them first.]

Um, first off! When we got brought here and you said we were going to help people, I thought it would be like, you know! Stopping a volcano or a rampaging monster or finding an ancient magical amulet to seal up evil or helping out after a disaster or something! Superhero stuff! And disaster relief! You know?

[He gets super enthusiastic while going through all that, gesturing widely, but then gets a little more sheepish as he continues.]

But this seems a little-- well, not just out of our league, but also none of our business, sort of, haha...? We're not diplomats or anything, and even if we were, interfering with a country that we don't belong to and aren't impacted by or anything is sort of...!!

[He trails off, because Keiichi vs using negative words, but "bad guy-ish" is sort of the idea, there.]

This is certainly a different arrangement from before.

[pushes his hair back from his face a bit, frowning]

You are aware some of us were just in a similar situation to the one you're outlining, but with a different hostess? Are we to be expected to gather power for you as well, or are you really simply just wanting us to help these people out, according to our discretion?

And -- why do you think our interference would be ideal over letting them sort it out for themselves? Because they're at a crux point, and you're able to sense it somehow?

[Arms crossed, foot tapping, and radiating a solid wall of irritation. But she does wait until Astoria is finished speaking, and she seems to have been listening properly.]

Thanks, hi, I have a question. I'm sure you wouldn't have gone to all the trouble of an interdimensional human summoning if you didn't think we could do the job or why you think this is more important than anything we were doing for our homes, so I won't ask about my qualifications or lack thereof, but. Question—

[actually, correction:]

Questions. One, if this is a job, what's the pay? Do my next-of-kin get compensated if we die in a civil war? Do my next-of-kin know I've disappeared to here in the first place? Who is paying my bills while I'm here? I have some very delicate specimens at home, and I'm looking at literally priceless damage if my air conditioning gets cut off.

[ Instantly, Ryoko's on notice. Granted it's not so much that she has a choice, but the fact that Astoria's out and about and speaking to them is a complete surprise and a welcome change from what she's used to. Her previous captor only spoke to them like, once, and she didn't learn a dang thing.

When Ryoko appears she's rigid, trying to come across as she's here to talk business. Even if it wasn't true and she hadn't run into any of her friends yet, she was still representing Nyoi-cho in a way. Trying to figure things out was all she could do as a start. ]


Hi, I just want to confirm something. I get that we're meant to go to try to restore these worlds in a peaceful manner... so, we're not really meant to fight anything, is that right?

I don't get how much we're actually supposed to change, and how we change it for the better. A lot of the time, it feels like interfering like that may only make things worse.

[Elizabeth takes a few moments to just soak this all in. Not only are they in an odd world then but they are proceeding post-haste to other equally odd worlds. She had read of deserts of course but to think of seeing one, much less a city in one was simply something she had never, ever expected to experience in her life.

Her tone of voice is skeptical to say the least when she finally replies. Astoria herself seems all sweetness but she had only lately learned the hard lesson of misjudging appearances.]

[So. Because Keith is not pleased and also the sort of extra that only teenage boys can be, he will answer this video with his Blade of Marmora mask up. This way none of his expression shows! The problem with this strategy is, he's not exactly making a secret of how he feels in his tone of voice.

He's pissed.]


Hey. Look. I'm all for helping people, but for one thing -- you could have asked for our help instead of kidnapping all of us like... like... kidnapped... kids... to run your errands.

[God why does he talk. It never works out well.]

For another thing, are these people even asking for help, or are you just taking it upon yourself to meddle? And what the hell do you even want us to do? Form a neighborhood watch?

[ Okay. ]

...

[ ...Okay.

So, this probably only raised more questions than it answered for a lot of people, but Prompto is more lost than ever before. There's only so much mind-blowing information he can process at a time, and he hit his threshold awhile ago. Like, back-in-Eos awhile ago. To say this latest turn of events is unexpected is hardly adequate, but it almost seems par for the course these days.

But, Astoria is cute? Super cute, so if someone had to be responsible for bringing them here, at least it was a cute witch and not, like, say, Ardyn.

He speaks up at last: ]


Soooo...so! Hey. Prompto, here! You...probably already knew that. Uh - first of all, cool digs? Kind of miss, uh, technology, and my camera's gonna run out of battery soon, but - h-heh, rustic charm! Am I right? [ ... ] Anyway! So, about this whole...helping hands in the desert shindig. Are we gonna have to, y'know...blend in? Go incognito? "When in Altissia", as they say?

[ Because if so this whole operation is going to be about 10000x harder for him. ]

[Valerius listens intently. More magical beings, hm? It all sounded very interesting. He wasn’t entirely fond of the desert, but exploration is exploration, and he wouldn’t knock the trip just yet. For now, he was going to enjoy his time in the room he picked out in the temple.

He’s seated on his bed, legs elegantly crossed and resting his chin on one hand. A radiant smile stretches his lips as he sees the witch for the first time. He registers the words from Astoria, but something nettles him, pokes at the back of his mind. Perhaps because of his...experience...with other people, both living and dead, he can’t help but put forth a thought of his own]


So how are you so sure that those you brought into this little quest can fit the shoes of heroes? Do you suppose even those with questionable morality will manage to swallow down their nature to complete their tasks without incident? Or are you merely hoping for it?

[He chuckles softly, immediately adding] Not that I’m going to cause any trouble...I just want to know how you can trust so many of us so quickly, when few can offer you the same in return.

[weirder things have happened to him in his short life, but just barely, so this is still pretty high up there. while being kidnapped is less than ideal, she doesn't seem to mean any harm by it. he lets the replies file on through as he tries to make heads or tails of their situation--and also figure out how to use his watch properly. luckily, it's pretty intuitive, and after a bit he speaks up.]

So, speaking of worlds on the brink of collapse, I have something important that I still have to do back home. If your goal is to help other worlds then I really should get back to mine. Normally I can't say I would mind tagging along, but given the circumstances it's pretty time-sensitive.

[not that sleeping in the center of the earth is his idea of fun either, but hey, it's helping his world when there weren't a lot of alternative solutions available.]

[ Sam's been listening in to Astoria's conversations with several of the others, since he's definitely interested in gleaning what he can about her now that they're able to talk to her directly. It's a bit unsettling to realize just how easy it is to listen to her talk, she's entrancing in ways that he's naturally wary of, but by all appearances she seems to be exactly what she claims to be.

As crazy as all of this is, and Sam's used to crazy, she's asking for their help and... well, he's not without his reservations, but he's going to try. There's no obvious reason not to, especially since they're not going anywhere else anytime soon. They did just help fix the balance of Light and Darkness where he's from after all, so he's not taking this too lightly.

The face that appears on screen here is fairly resolute, but it's not unfriendly, even if he is determined not to be unnecessarily swayed by her cheerful, bubbly tone. He knows better than to be drawn in by a pretty girl, okay. ]

[Narsus' expression is neutral, and his tone is mild: this is clearly a being of great power, and it wouldn't do to upset her. But he is not happy right now.]

I understand pressing need quite well, and it is certainly an ambition of mine to effect great improvements in the world. However, my own home also has pressing need of great improvements, which I was endeavoring to bring about when I found myself here. I can't quite fathom the wisdom of taking me from a place I knew and was already making myself useful, to bring me somewhere unfamiliar instead.

As soon as Tyrion hears the voice, he remembered how he had heard it when he had woken up in this world. Now he knew what the woman looks like.

He listens to her words attentively. Before he answers, he cleaned his throat.

"It's a pleasure to met you Astoria. Now that you've explained why you've brought me here, I find it easier to accept my fate. I'm glad, that you thought I would be of any use."

Part of him is still surprised that he had got chosen to become part of something so significant. Yet, this was not so different from what he had done in his world. Even through on a smaller level.
