[For the regular denizens of Balamb Garden, it's an ordinary day...until more off-worlders start showing up, for only a few hours at a time. Unsure what to make of these more temporary visitors, the Garden faculty is holding off on registering them as cadets or offering them jobs.

[Maybe someone you know might turn up?]

Mod note, to reiterate:
4th wall characters can only be seen at certain hours of the day. They may appear for two hours a day, or four... or seen only in the early morning... the time doesn't matter to us, but they're not permanently here. They may return to Garden again through the rest of the month, but they're not around 24/7.
Like apped characters, 4th wall characters can't be ridiculously-sized. Transformers, Gundams, and similar concepts/characters will become human-sized (and in the case of mechas, not allowed altogether.)
Players (like you and me) are not allowed to visit Garden. We're breaking the 4th wall, not destroying it altogether!
Apart from this post, 4th wall characters are free to reply to open posts in witchesreign or open logs in concoursec. Apped players have the option of closing their posts to in-game characters only.
All BBS posts are locked to in-game characters only. 4th wall characters do not have access to any sort of logged in posts unless they hijack someone else's log-in---and in those cases, we need to know this beforehand.

For those unfamiliar with the setting, here is more info on Balamb Garden's facilities and layout. Additionally, some of the NPCs around and some player characters may be wearing Balamb Garden's cadet or SeeD uniform.

If you have any more questions, feel free to ask on the OOC post or through the mod channels (wrmods or witchesreign).

[Being spirited away to another world is hardly something new for Winry, so she actually isn't all that phased by it. Displeased, but considering who we are talking about she's actually pretty mellow about it all.]

Anyone here going to tell us newcomers what the hell is going on?

[Jack's just been wandering around, kinda curious about all the visitors. The librarian had seemed pretty certain that just sending anyone from Garden home, one-way trip, would be disastrous, and this is waaaaay more than that. And then he happens to wander by Winry.]

Reality's breaking. [He seems pretty matter of fact about that!]

[That causes her to raise an eyebrow. She couldn't tell if he was being serious or not, despite the tone--or maybe because of it.]

Care to elaborate?

Well, earlier, when I first got here--but I'm one of the more permanent arrivals--I was talking to the librarian who turns out to actually know a bunch about dimensional theory, which is nice cause I'm not used to being able to actually talk to other folks about that.

Most of them don't get it. It's annoying.

And he said that this dimension has become terribly unstable just from all of us arriving and then staying, and he was pretty sure that sending us back home would be a Bad Thing. He said he'd watched one dimension disintegrate because the natives dimension-hopped too much. And now that all these folks are popping in and out? Reality's definitely not going to hold, if he actually know what he's talking about, and he seemed to, just from the fact that he knew what I was talking about.

[And then he's out of breath.]

[Winry listens to him. She is a scientist, but dimensional theory was definitely not something she'd make much claim to be an expert on. Still, she can keep up with what he is saying more or less but it brings up a heck of a lot more questions than answers.]

Well what's causing people to swarm into this place to begin with? [And to be honest his explanation makes her a little worried about Death City. If that is in fact a legitimate theory she wonders how they are handling the constant influx of people.

She also thinks maybe she should be asking different questions--just like what 'here' is but her curiosity is piqued even if she doesn't understand it all.]

[After Jack catches his breath:] Apparently this world had some super powerful sorceress a while back, and she did something that caused what everybody around here keeps calling a "time compression", which I guess is as good a name as any.

Apparently people from all different times and dimensions just sorta... end up here. And occasionally disappear again, but not in any sort of controlled way, so who knows where they go.

[He sighs regretfully.] That's the problem with dimensional theory. After a certain point, it basically turns into magic. Which is really hard to work into calculations!

Wish I knew, Winry.

[A couple of seconds later, Ed finally registers who he just said that to.]

W-... What are you doing here?!

[For a moment Winry is just as taken back. The last time she had seen Ed had been...months ago. And under some very bad conditions indeed. She's not sure what to say for a moment, before she just smiles.]

Same thing as you, I would assume.

I wouldn't be so sure. Unless the military here are getting really desperate. [He's smiling too when he says it, though. At least this conversation isn't going towards the abuse that he maybe kind of has slightly inflicted on his automail since arriving here.]
