What the hell is going on? Who is this?

These kind of things don't get sent without someone behind a keyboard or something. If you're doing this as a joke, it's not funny.

Who the hell are you?!

Are you working for her? Is this why Alphonse was brought here too??

text, ID: Enoch

[warriorscribe]

"Her"? Do you have an idea of who the person behind this might be?

[ossifragant]

I might. It's not exactly her style, but I know a woman who fancies herself the savior of humanity. I don't recognize any of this technology, but maybe she found someone who could make it.

The only problem is if it really is her, there should be more people here I recognize.

[warriorscribe]

[If he hadn't just personally dealt with them, he might have accused people he knew of doing the same. That the same would just happen in the future...that's just sad. How did he get sucked into it, though? The more he hears, the less he understands. This person couldn't be human, he thinks, if they could just do this. Thank goodness he has a frame of reference for future fashion, at least.]

Does she have the power to abduct people from other points in time? I am certain I am from the past compared to this place.

[ossifragant]

I've never heard of such a thing, but if she's successfully obtained a Philosopher's Stone, it's possible.

She has already lived for hundreds of years using one that's nearly used up.

[warriorscribe]

[A Philosopher's Stone? What could that be? Errant Fruits of Wisdom, maybe? Would more be stolen away to Earth? Or were there some left behind?]

What are these stones, exactly?

[ossifragant]

A powerful, powerful object. It's red like blood, looks kind of like a crystal. You can do almost anything with it. Live forever, level entire cities, create things impossible with normal alchemy; the list is impressive.

[They're also made of human souls, but he's intentionally leaving out that bit of information.]

[warriorscribe]

[That description sounds nothing like what he was thinking of.]

Where did they come from, if you know? It sounds similar to something from home that nobody on Earth is ever meant to possess, save appearance.

[ossifragant]

A gifted alchemist can create them. The process is a little involved, though.

[warriorscribe]

If they are man-made, they can't be what I'm thinking of.

[He can breathe a sigh of relief at that. Though humanity becoming able to create even this power...is unexpected.]

Is there any sign that you know of, to determine if one of these stones is behind our situation?

[ossifragant]

It's impossible to tell.

[Wait, actually.]

There could be a lab somewhere, possibly underground. If it exists, it's probably abandoned now, but I'd be able to recognize the technology if it exists.

[warriorscribe]

[Enoch pushes aside that little hint of "what if he's just covering for his own involvement?" and tries to get some more information to quell it. That paranoia hasn't gone away and he knows it's not him.]

Could you describe it to me, by any chance?

[ossifragant]

The lab? Or the object she uses?

[warriorscribe]

The lab. I may not be able to follow all of them, but if there is any chance someone else may find it first, it would be helpful to know what we're searching for.

[He doesn't give away he's still somewhat unclear on what he's searching for here. He doesn't want to be taken advantage of, if not by him, then by someone...]

[ossifragant]

Well, let's see.

[There's a pause as he puts his thoughts together.]

You'd see a lot of vats. They'd be empty, probably, though if they're full, they'd be full of a sickly red liquid. It glows; if you were to try and take some out of one of the vats, it would coalesce into a somewhat solid form. Not quite a liquid, but not exactly a solid.

You might also find strange, elaborate markings on the floor in chalk or maybe soot or something.

I don't care about any of that, though. I just care about knowing about whether or not the lab exists at all, because if it does, she's behind it.

[warriorscribe]

I will watch for it, then. If I find it, I will tell you.

[It sounds like nothing he's ever seen, but then...why not. There was a lot he'd never seen in the world.]

ToTheArk is that you

[maskintape]

not enough cryptic bullshit insinuating that this is somehow your fault

[genreblindness]

Yeah I guess it's way too comprehensible to be them. No hidden messages or anything

[She's not expecting a reply. BUT FUCK YOU ANYWAY!!]

Food, water, and central heating will, among other things, go much further toward stabilizing our "conditions" than mysterious injections full of heaven knows what.

Just for the record.

[notrosesshadow]

Are you saying that was a vaccination? Vaccinations should neither have that poor a reaction nor be given without patient consent.

text; ID: Chillinski

[figureitout]

[So, if this goes according to all the weird horror movies he's ever watched, the glitching admin won't post anything after this, but... no way in hell is he not saying anything.]

Oh my god, okay, first of all: what the hell do you mean conditions are now stable? What conditions? Stable by what standards, ours or yours? And second of all, dude, it's not cool to inject people with something without asking.

And last of all, how about, you know, just sending us back instead of weird injections?

Text - ID: HGWELLS

[indelibleink]

I do not appreciate being given such injections without my consent being given on the matter. Besides, what do you mean 'our conditions had become unstable'? In what way? How do you know it was even safe to administer those injections to all of us? Some of us may have adverse reactions to whatever was in them.

what have you done to me?

[warriorscribe]

You "made my condition stable"? That felt like an attack! Who are you, and what did you do to me?

[He has encountered medicine delivered via injection before, but that was a long, long time ago and he doesn't remember it. He's aware the nausea has passed, but the prickling, alien paranoia and unease has not left him, and he has no idea it's not the effects from before - he's suffering from cabin fever, after remaining in the house he woke up in for two days.]

Dude, next time, just give me a pill. Seriously.

[What is Lea willing to put up with today? Not fucking this!]

We were all perfectly fine when we got here! Who are you and what the hell have you done to us?!

[ Sneaking up on a ninja really isn't a bright idea. ]

[Even an hour after the injection, the shock Al is feeling has barely faded. He wants to question this person... these people... intimately, but he is wary of revealing too much over this strange network.

His voice is troubled and tight with suppressed fear, fingers tight over the tablet so that it creaks under the pressure.]

How did you do that to me?

[Not why, not yet. But how?]

Text: ID: thelonewanderer

[vaultexile]

How about you apologize by explaining things? Where are we, how did you take us here. What did you inject us with?

[apolly]

Uh, okay.
