What magic is this?

[episodezer0]

[Currently, there is a lost figure, standing in front of a bus. Said person is unsure if this...thing should be attacked or if he should find others to launch a group attack. This contraption doesn't look safe to him, and it could very well be a threat to everyone else.

His hand still rests on his sword, staring in contempt as being so indecisive. Making another mistake would in inexcusable.]

[protectiveshadow]

[Yeeep. Definitely it's newcomer.]

None of this is my deed. Please calm yourself, samurai.

[episodezer0]

I shall remain at the ready until I know what that is. [Nudges his head over at the bus.]

[protectiveshadow]

[This isn't going anywhere.]

Do that, then you shall stay there for no reason.

[Safe to approach him now? Well, he thinks so.]

[episodezer0]

[As the person steps forward, Gakupo keeps his stance.]

Why is that?

[protectiveshadow]

[Leans near the bus.]

Did you ever realized you're no longer standing on your land?

[episodezer0]

At the moment, that may be the least of my worries. [His jaw moves in irritation.] Are you going to answer my question or not?

[protectiveshadow]

[Blinks on the question before he smirks.]

Is it even necessary?

[episodezer0]

I do not ask unnessecary questions.

[protectiveshadow]

I won't answer for you. Find the sign.

[He means the sign near the bus.]

[episodezer0]

I did. It still didn't explain what it was. [Buses didn't exist in the Warring Era...]

[protectiveshadow]

It's obvious. You're in other world, can't you even tell?

[episodezer0]

Of course I can. These lights without flames. This...hardened dirt. Glass all around. Stange beings walking about. No, this is not my home.

[He approaches the bus, and in a flash, a tire is deflated. The sword is sheathed slowly, but Gakupo looks pretty disappointed.]

This was no threat. I have been wasting my time. [He could have torn this bus to shreds by now. Or so he thinks. He looks to the stranger.] Are you some sort of costumed fellow?

[protectiveshadow]

[Listened to every word he said. 'Lights without flames. Glass all around', so that was a long year where he's been taken. Kageito watches as the tire was flattened, he's a skilled samurai.]

Beware on what you just did. You're damaging civilian's home.

[Blinks on the question.]

This is how I look like. Curious?

[episodezer0]

A home? [Gakupo looks up at the bus, tilting his head to the side.] It looks unsafe, and an eyesore. Who would wish to reside in such a thing?

[He looks back at the other, giving him a once over. So it's not a costume...]

Why do you dress in such a manner?

[protectiveshadow]

Think other way round, Gakupo. [Sorry, he knows his name.]

This house able to 'move' from this spot to the other spot. That's why it's different than other houses.

[Why? This is his usual outfit! To show he's variant to the official male VOCALOID!]

...It's my identity.

[episodezer0]

A moving house...can such a thing exist?

[At the other calling him by his name, Gakupo grips onto his sword more, but does not unsheathe it again. It just gets him on edge.]

How do you know of me? I am certain our paths have never crossed. Such a face would be difficult to forget.

[That's some identity. Gakupo can't wrap his head around it, but he won't judge much.] So be it, then. Can you tell me more about this place?

[protectiveshadow]

I don't tell lies.

[A frown, it's not like he's concern about it. Beside, this world collects VOCALOIDs. Also that question indicates to the second one too.]

It's because of this place. You're certainly in Dressing Room world, where VOCALOIDs from other world got pulled here.

[episodezer0]

I never said you did.

Someone mentioned a Vocaloid earlier, but I do not understand such a term. [Gakupo glances about this world in curiosity.]

[protectiveshadow]

[He'll just move along with short explanation.]

VOCALOID is singing robot, which use for world's entertainment. That's all.

[episodezer0]

...what is a row-bot?

[protectiveshadow]

Similar to human, but they are machines. Mechanical human, humanoid, android, you name it.

[episodezer0]

[It's easy to tell that Gakupo doesn't completely understand, but he gets the gist.]

How is such a thing possible?

[protectiveshadow]

New era. Where you're already dead.

[A lot easier to say that then?]

[episodezer0]

...and what year does this era fall under?

[protectiveshadow]

Millennium era, reaching two with triple zeros. You're era is over.
