[Dressing Room, you have now been presented with another Gakupo! Who looks very confused as he adjusts his glasses, looking the immediate area over.]

This isn't...

Map. Map.

[He takes a moment to search through his pockets, checking the ones both inside and outside of his coat and his pants. Coming up short, he can't seem to find the motivation to straighten his posture.]

...Oh no.

I'm wondering that myself.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Well...

... the sky. Buildings. General morale of the town, Rin's attitude not withstanding...

[yes, that was a smart ass response because he couldn't think of anything better to say.]

You're new here.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[...He likes you. You got moxy. And his face, so.]

I guess I am.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

[Can't be in the Visual Kei scene without some stones, man. It's a rough world.]

Right, well, I just got here, too. The others here said it's called the Dressing Room, though why, no one really knows. Clearly whoever was here first was having too much fun with crack.

But aaaaanyway... [sticks his hands in his pockets and rocks back on his heels], you'll run in to duplicates of a lot of people, even yourself, obviously. And some of them are robots. Just keep that in mind.

Oh. And we can't leave. But it's not terribly dreadful here or anything.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

...I'd been told all this before, yet didn't choose to listen until I heard it from myself.

At least I can rest assured knowing the duplicate claim is true.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Aha. I wasn't sure. It's hard to tell how new is 'new'.

Yeah, it's gonna happen a lot. And you're gonna get people thinking you're some one else.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

With all this talk of alternate realities, I guess I should learn to expect that.

...Out of pure curiosity, who are you, exactly?

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Gackpo.

[No. Seriously, that's it.]

I'm the guitarist for Vana 'N Ice.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

A guitarist? [Sounded...a lot more glamorous than the adventures of an RPG hero's healer.

Bet he got tons of tail.]

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

[Hell yes he does]

Yup.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

So there's quite the difference between these realities, then.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Yeah. A lot. And the way I hear it the 'default' version of us is those robots.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

The robots are the norm?

Fantastic.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Eyup.

[waves his hands and speaks all dramatic-ominously] The ones that started it aaaaall~

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

...Wait, back up. "Started it all"?

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

[shrug] Yeah. All these human or whatever versions are supposedly derived from various videos and stories the androids did for songs. 'cause, yehknow, they're musical, too. Only they were built for it.

Virtual idols or some crap.

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

...

So, our lives are just stories in songs.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Yup. Preeeeetty much...

[why yes he isn't bothered by this prospect at all.]

[Excuse him as he has a bit of an EXISTENTIAL CRISIS

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[...And quickly recovers.]

...That would actually make a lot of sense.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

[... that was fast.]

How do you mean?

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

[He's got a bitchin' connection.]

Where I'm from, nearly everything is made up of impossible constructions. Like optical illusions.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

What, like... magic?

[ilikebigbuffs.livejournal.com]

H'm, something like that.

[imitation-heart.livejournal.com]

Huh...

Magic's cool...
