Aw shit... now where am I?

Whoever decided to hit me from behind was really a poor sport! Not only that they should be glad they decided not to stick around. Huh.

Bah, this is a load of bull--wait a minute. What do we have here? Some type of cellphone? No, no that’s not it, a calculator? No! Think Hol, think!... hn...

Okay so perhaps it’s just some manner of technical device that serves no purpose what-so-ever. Other than to record what I'm saying. Now then! Back to square one... where am I? This place looks kind of... dull.

... Right.

I'll wait... uhm. Right here I guess.

Don't tell me you're afraid, Hol Horse. *you can hear his footsteps as he moves along the streets*

[Audio]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

I'm not afraid!...




I'm just unfamiliar with this territory, that's all.

[zawarudo.livejournal.com]

You are still a terrible liar.

[Audio]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Liar?

Why! I'm anything but-- What the hell?

*Dio's been making his way almost passively through the streets. That gunshot was nearby...He goes towards the sound of it*

Good doggy, nice doggy, rollover-liedown-playdead!

and Hol runs smack into Dio. He doesn't even budge from the force of the impact, just looks at him*

Running away from something, are we?

... bringing... you... a playmate?

I suppose I do need to feed tonight.

*The World appears and Dio stops time...and dispatches the wolf in a few seconds. Time resumes with Dio standing over the corpse, feeding from it*

Eh-heh... S-so... Where are we?

*he stands back up with blood on his hands*

As in where this city is or where in relation to the layout of this place?

For the former, it's a place called Discedo. It isn't on Earth.

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

We're not on Earth?

How is that even possible?

I have no clue. Scientists brought people here. I should also note there's a chip implanted in you that limits your abilities.

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

A chip?... What the hell?

[]

"Limits"... I suppose that makes sense...

[Commentlog]

[zawarudo.livejournal.com]

It's far under your skin. *chuckles* You won't find it that way.

It's to keep the residents from killing each other, or something equally stupid. My own is gone.

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Well, that puts me at a disadvantage...

[Commentlog]

[zawarudo.livejournal.com]

It does, doesn't it? It took me quite awhile to find an ally to remove my limiter...

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Uhm... well, now, I DO so appreciate you coming all the way out here just to give me some manner of familiarity.

Though I think... I think I'm good on my own.

[zawarudo.livejournal.com]

*steps forward* You still fear me. Good.

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

N-no! ... I just... don't wish to bother you!...

[Commentlog]

[zawarudo.livejournal.com]

*he chuckles to himself and puts his hands on his hips*

Allies are running in short supply here...But I'm not sure I can trust you enough to take you back to where I've been living.

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

... But... this is a good thing, right? I mean... why would I wish trouble to befall upon you, if you don't think I'm trustworthy?

[Commentlog]

[zawarudo.livejournal.com]

...

*Dio is clearly unamused by Hol Horse's response* Your attempts to appease me aren't working very well.

[Commentlog]

[emperor-cowboy.livejournal.com]

Then how can I help to bring some satisfaction to your... oh so troubled... mind?
