[[EDIT: It's been brought to my attention that it's not clear that she's on the onsen grounds, despite not being actually involved in the plot. I tried to make that clearer here. XD;; ]]

[[A young woman with short teal hair in a black school uniform blinked, glancing puzzledly around the darkness lit only by the shifting constellations above and a soft glow at her feet.]]
...Hello? Meredith-san...? I'm, um...not quite sure what you meant by..."the machine"... [[furrows brows]] ...What is that? Is that what this place is...?

[[But she soon realizes that the woman from before was nowhere to be seen. She sighs quietly, and starts walking slowly, glancing around. Seeing no one else in her immediate vicinity, the first place she looks is up.]]
...The stars...it's like this place is a giant planetarium. [[gazing up into them]] Even if this place is a little frightening...it's beautiful, in a way...

[[She notices in her "stargazing" though that indeed, that isn't the only thing present in this strange place.]]
[[blinks]] ...An onsen?

[[Tentatively, she walks across the bridge onto the first floor, where she sees an array of outdoor baths.]]


[[ooc: Sooo, I've decided it's a bit too crammed (for me, anyway) to actually get in on the plot in full, and I thought it might be interesting for a chara to get an 'outside' perspective on the whole thing -- so the rest of you guys are trapped and she's not bwahahah she'll be more in line with what I'm aware of the game so far XP

I still feel a bit shaky on setting and stuff, so bear with me! If I'm doing something wrong just lemee know (if I'm not online, PM and contact post work just fine?) and I'll fix it without panicking too much XP ]]

...A lot of strange things have been happening recently, so it almost seems like anything is possible now...

I thought that, if other people are stuck in this place against their will, even though I can leave freely...there had to be something keeping you all here, something that doesn't affect me...and if that's the only difference...well, I don't know...

Strange things?

Ah. Well... maybe it's something like that? I'm not sure. Usually we can all go home just by thinking about it, but that's not working. We can't even leave this onsen; can't get over the walls or bust 'em open, either.

...[[She trails off at the 'strange things' -- she isn't quite sure if she even knew how to explain everything at this point.]]

So, it's definitely not a physical barrier keeping you all in...but something else...it may have to do with those rings you have that I don't, but I really couldn't say for sure...

...If I used Lucia...could I find if something strange was going on here, something that maybe has to do with the Shadows and Tartarus back home...?

Oh! I just realized, I haven't introduced myself yet, I'm so sorry. My name is Fuuka Yamagishi.

[sunkenlight.livejournal.com]

Neither could I.

Oh... yeah. It's nice to meet you, Fuuka. I'm Roxas.

[gentlepriestess.livejournal.com]

[[a small smile]] Nice to meet you too, Roxas-kun.

[[she looks thoughtful]] ...There...might be some way I can find out what's keeping all these people here. I can't do that right now, but...if I do find out something, I'll let everyone know.

...Even though this is nothing like Tartarus, I don't want others to stay trapped in a strange place like this if I can help it.

Really? That would be great!
