Second Key: What? I have to WORK?!

[sumofallreds]

[Action 1: L'Déplaisant]

[Marvelous tugs at his work clothes, a disdainful look on his face. These clothes feel stiff, as if they were brand new. Except for the fact...]

And I've been apparently working at this...place...for how long again?

[No one answers him as he wanders among the tables to find something to do. He's not too interested in actually doing his so-called job]

[Action 2: Downtown Streets]

[Exploring the town. His mission: find something to wear that's halfway in his tastes. Though, he's highly tempted to just steal something rather than actually buying it (though he hasn't decided yet)]

Is it just me or does everything here look...dreary?

[This could take a while]

Ah...arrogant as well. That'll make things easier.

Zangyack is gigantic Space Dictatorship from back home. My friends and I like to mess up their plans.

If you wouldn't mind.

Mm - they'll make sure to let you know of their presence, at least.

And, so I see. I'm glad you do that, sir.

[ She nods and decides to continue. ]

The December of Year Two and the following January are closely linked in what happened. In December, the citizens were compelled to transcribe their wishes onto letters and send them off to "Santa Claus;" almost everyone instead received something grisly or otherwise dangerous in return. In January, it was revealed that the supposed Santa was actually the Postman, who attempted to get the citizens to collectively vote "yes" or "no" to being returned to their respective worlds. When the votes didn't come in unanimous, we were told that they would not be counted at all, though quite a few of us, doubted that they ever would have been in the first place. March brought us nothing except idiotic jokes. Though, from what I assume is the same month, the highway that circles Mayfield was opened. It's not worth explaining since it was another joke at our expense. We managed, though, to go to Deadman's Gulch and it's no longer accessible right now. It was abandoned like Westport, but there weren't any hazmats and we were free to come and go until it closed off.

Maipole and Westport are the only examples we have seen about what the outside world has become, and it's not a pretty picture. More clues are periodically given, but other than that a war has probably taken place. Unfortunately, it's hard to piece them together. The clues we find are generally broadcasted over the phones, so as long as you pay attention, you shouldn't be left in the dark.

Oh, and don't drink the milk.

[Marvelous takes this all in, frowning with every second. This is getting more serious than he first thought]

Good to know. Information seems to be quite powerful here.

Now that I'm caught up, I suppose an introduction is in order. I'm Captain Marvelous, of the Kaizoku Sentai Gokaiger. And you?

[ Diana notes the frowning and thinks he's taking this seriously. Well, to her, that's good and it puts her a little bit more at ease. ]

It's the greatest weapon you can have.

I'm Diana Ethelbert, Mr. Marvelous. [ Because she thinks that Captain is your first name. ] It's a pleasure.

Just Marvelous will be fine. Everyone else I know uses it.

And while I would prefer my Mobirates, information will do for now weapon-wise.

I tend to like formalities.

As far as weapons are concerned, there's a gun shop around here. Since you're an adult male, you'll be able to purchase them without any difficulties. However, I do have a few supplies of my own that I could give you. Also, may I ask what a Mobirate is?

Well...being a pirate, I tend not to rely on them. Part of the job description.

Hmm...

[Is thinking there might at least be an old Earth flintlock in there, so is interested]

It's sort of like a phone, but it also allows me to transform.

[notalwystrthful.livejournal.com]

Ah, so I see.

...and did you say transform?
