First Mission

[mybrotherskeeper]

Rubedo. Are you there? The connection coordinates are off and I can't find you nearby. I'm in a place surrounded by trees. It looks too well-maintained to be a forest, so my estimation is a park. If you can hear me, please respond with your location.

This is URTV unit number 669. If anyone has seen unit number 666, any information on his current whereabouts would be appreciated.

((3% regain on his first name and title, his relation to Rubedo, and some of his melee fighting abilties. 13% total, 2% remaining.))

[He walks out of the library and over to Nigredo.]

I've never seen the connection coordinates make a mistake like that. It shouldn't separate people like that.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

No, it shouldn't. I wonder what happened? At least we weren't that far apart though.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

It doesn't look familiar either.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

No, it doesn't. Where are we?

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Not sure. I don't know where we were going either, come to think.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

This is really weird.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

No kidding. Did you see anyone we could ask on your way here? We're not supposed to interact with civilians, but I think the circumstances dictate otherwise.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

There wasn't anyone in the library, at least not that I saw. Let's look around.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Hold on, Rubedo. Do you have your pistol with you? I couldn't find mine.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Hey...! No, I don't!

I don't like this. Something's really wrong here.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Be on your guard. I don't know if we can trust these people.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

No kidding.

Okay, let's look around. And stick together. I don't want us getting separated.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

[He taps his head.]

We won't.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

We've got the link, sure. But I'd rather we're together physically too. We can watch each other's backs this way.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I hear you. I'd rather trouble not find us, but you can count on me as always.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

I know. And you can always count on me!

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I dunno, it's been a while since you haven't had the option of shooting something.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Jeez, Nigredo. I don't only rely on my gun! Give me some credit!

[hunterxofxrare.livejournal.com]

*Sees Nigredo and pauses. Why does he look so familiar?*

...Jr? Is that you? When'd you dye your hair?

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I don't know anyone named Jr. [A pause, then...] What color was the hair?

[hunterxofxrare.livejournal.com]

Oh, I'm sorry! You just looked so alike.

Jr? His hair is red.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

...you know Rubedo? How is that possible?

[hunterxofxrare.livejournal.com]

..."Rubedo"?

Well, he just sort of showed up one day, and I happened to see him in the library. I'd never seen him around before, so I thought I'd chat with him, and we became friends.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

Rubedo's never been outside of the Institute. That doesn't make sense.

[hunterxofxrare.livejournal.com]

This place seems to be able to drag people here no matter where they're at, so I wouldn't be surprised if it pulled him from there somehow.

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

...it got me too, so I guess so.

[hunterxofxrare.livejournal.com]

Looks that way.

It's not so bad, once you get used to it. The memory thing can be kinda weird at first, but you'll get them back after a while~

By the way, what's your name? I'm Mistral~

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

...URTV unit number 669, designation: Nigredo.

[hunterxofxrare.livejournal.com]

That's some name you've got there. How about I just call you Nigredo?

[fadetonigredo.livejournal.com]

I guess that's fine.
