Action post 1. In which Marvelous doesn't know what's going on

[Wherever this place was (Fisherman something or other), Marvelous wasn't exactly thrilled by it. All he knew was he woke up, there were papers with him that he glanced over before throwing them in a trash bin and walking out on his own into the town itself.

He will be wandering around, generally lost and the confusion is pretty much clear on his face.]

[Max is walking down the street, a backpack over her shoulder as her fingers nimbly hit a small, smartphone looking device as she goes along. She seems engrossed in it, but looks up when she notices someone else heading in the opposite direction. His confusion is evident, and she doesn't recognize him. Considering she had done a pretty thorough hacking into the names and IDs of all she could, she's curious. Maybe he's new?]

Hey, you alright?

[Glance over and....pink hair?]

Know anywhere around here to get something to eat?

[Definitely pink hair.]

Yeah, there's a cafe not too far away. [Probably new and no sense in sugar coating it.] Are you from here, this world I mean?

[He grins at her. Catches on quick it seems. Or he really stands out compared to the natives of this place.]

I don't recognize this place. Which world are we on?

[Max smirks. Either he thinks this is a game, which she'll feel a bit bad for being amused at, or he's from a world where this experience isn't exactly rare.]

Kind of hard to say, sometimes it feels like it's a video game. I'll explain what I can, if you want, over food. S'not too far.

[He has no idea what a video game is so he won't even acknowledge the statement. What he did hear was her saying the word 'food.']

Good.

C'mon.

[She leads him over to a small cafe, one that's quite nice inside. One they find a booth, she motions to a menu. He probably doesn't have any Gil here, yet, she figures.]

So, would you like a short version or long version before eating?

[Yep. She's paying for it. Sitting down with the strange pink haired girl, Marvelous glances at the menu, noting that it, along with everything else here, was written in English. As long as he finds the meat, it didn't matter to him the language.]

Keep it short.

[Max is beginning to suspect from the way he speaks and the way he's staring at the menu, that he might not recognize the words. She will call him out on this.]

Sure -- Need some help with that?

Hm? [He actually read English fine but, it was some of the words that were slightly strange to him. Specifically..]

What's a chocobo?

[Well, she just rethinks her theory. Just the general "this word is awkward".]

Big flightless bird, think of somethin' like an emu or ostrich for this world.

[More confusion is written on his face. He's never been anywhere on Earth other than Japan so those words are completely foreign to him as well.]

Right. Frag.

[Max grabs her N-tab, the small smartphone like device, and brings up an image of a typical yellow chocobo.]

This is a Chocobo.

[Taking the device in hand, Marvelous looked at it.

It looked like a giant yellow chicken. Well, it was meat.]

They taste good?

Seem to be popular. Haven't tried it yet myself.

[She smirks, teasingly.]

Willing to try something new?

It's meat. That's good enough for me.

Schway.

[The waitress comes by and Max places her order, waiting for him to do the same. When the waitress leaves, she gets down to business.]

So, short version. You're in another world due to something called the Time Compression. It's an event that fragged time and space up, slipping people from their worlds and points in time to this one. No one knows how we can get back, if at all, though at times people randomly will slip right back out.

Some people in this world aren't too schway with us outsiders, but the Garden isn't like that. It's a military school of sorts, complete with dorms and everything provided by a Sponsorship.

[She holds up her hand, showing her ring.]

I'm in the Ruby group. Questions?

[After saying what he wants, Marvelous just...vaguely listens. There were some things in there that were of interest to him, mostly the fact that no one knows how to get out other than slipping back out of this time stream and into their own. But the rest were just useless information about the military school that he had no interest in joining.]

The sponsorships. Do they help an outsider who's not part of the military?

[That was the main question because it would make himself and Joe set for the most part in terms of living if they were going to stay in this world for a while.]

[Max takes a sip as he digests the information.]

Can't say. I haven't heard of it happening yet, but I haven't done much research into the other sponsorship than mine. My guess would be a no, over all.

They do, however, help about a limit of 20 for each 'ship and it doesn't matter if they're already sponsoring a double of yours.

[So it likely was going to be that his and Joe's sponsorship would be revoked, they'd be on their own and the two of them would need to find their own way to get money and a ship.

Fine by him.]

And without a sponsor, we're on our own in a world where people are afraid of us.

[He grins at that a bit.]

Sounds like fun.

[Max raises her brow in a bit of a look. That's a curious statement, and one that doesn't sound as if they have the most noble of intentions -- not that that bothers her much. Still, she feels as if she should clarify.]

Less fear, overall, and more general dislike. We're outsiders to them.

Enough fear that they're willing to shoot on sight. [He wasn't sure of this but, he heard it from someone else.]

Wouldn't know about that, but I do know the weapons around here vary more than just guns.

[Max actually hasn't heard about too much of that kind of hostility here.]

[Weapons other than guns were fine by Marvelous. He's dealt with just about anything.

But nonetheless, conversation was rather pointless now that the food had arrived and, after picking at it to make sure it wasn't going to bite him back, Marvelous just dove right in to food without saying a word to Max.]

[Max ate quietly, wondering about what was going on in the mind of the man in the seat across from her. After a bit, she glanced up. Honestly, she knew nothing about this guy other than he spoke Japanese -- or whatever Japanese equaled to in his world, was used to seeing other worlds, liked to eat meat and cared little at the option for the military school or the fact that some people were hostile to them outside of it. It was something, but not enough to quell her curiosity.]

I'm Max.
