[Suddenly, there's a colorful explosion of Nothing, which expels a possibly-familiar young man holding a katana. He's now lying in the middle of the gate complex, where he most certainly wasn't a few seconds ago]

Hn...

[He stands up, groggily, as if he had just woken up]

...here again? Beats waking up on the path to the afterlife again, I guess.

[He adjusts the glasses sitting askew on his face, looking through them, taking them off, replacing them, and finally deciding to take them off and put them in a pocket, still looking confused.]

Well well well, I was not expecting to see you return, especially at a time like this.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

> Um...

Nice to see you too, Councilor
Time like this?
What in all the various Shinto hells just happened?!

Well, I'm full of surprises I guess. Nice to see you too, Councilor Yakumo.

Uh...did you bring me here? I sure as heck didn't go through a portal.

[violet-boundary.livejournal.com]

Were it within my power to do so, have no doubt that I would. However, bringing you to this place from a world that has been lost to the multiverse is well beyond my capabilities.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Lost...to the Multiverse? Is that what happened? What does that even mean?

[violet-boundary.livejournal.com]

The Earth you call home is gone. It has vanished completely, and we currently have no idea where it is.

[Raidou was on his way to the gates to head to his world to inform the Yatagarasu]

I hope your hunch pays off, 'cuz if this is...

Gouto... what?

...!

[He visibly gasp]

Souji! How... you're... you're safe.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Raidou?

Yeah...I guess. Confuto Ordinatio is definitely a step up from where I was.

So, do you guys have any idea what's going on right now?

[aboyandhiscat.livejournal.com]

[Excuse Raidou, he actually need to collect his composure]

Well, it ain't pretty, your world just up and vanished.

Everyone feared the worst, and we're sending out people to investigate other worlds for any possible leads.

Queer thing is, there's a conflict, Morrison was leading it until two Birds decided to but in, Aenathia, a Senior Councilor, and Ms. Kebi, one of the Corporate Sponsors. Which reminds me.

[He starts pulling a notebook out of his collar]

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

[Souji smiles a little]

Well, at least you're all still okay and working on the problem. Not having to worry about you is at least a little bit off my mind.

Although...it sounds like the politics are complicated, huh.

She needs more CR

[While it was against the rules, Nanoha stood in the gate complex, staring at one of the gates heading toward home. On one hand, it would be better to wait until Squall gave the command to start investigating. On the other, she was worried if Fate, Yuuno and the rest of her family and friends were safe. She clutched Raising Heart.]



Raising Heart... You're right.

[Preparing for transformation, she stumbled backward, falling over when Souji made his rather flashy entrance.]

Determined little girls make Souji perma-d'aww

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

?

Oh, I'm sorry, are you alright?

[says the guy who just exploded into existence from nothing and looks like he just woke up from a coma]

And she is very determined.

[canfightfate.livejournal.com]

[You would think that she would be used to this kind of thing, being a mage and all. But literally exploding out of thin air... yeah, that'll get to ya. Her heart is going to be racing for a while.]

W-where did you just come from?!

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

I'm...back at CO, right?

...I was hoping someone here could tell me.

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

Maybe... maybe if I trust my instincts and just pick a gate, it'll be a good one!

[Meiling is in the Gate Complex looking pretty determined, but not really anything besides that - she wants to go save worlds and everyone's too busy arguing about how to do it!]

That's it! I'll ask the next person I see what their world is and go there!

[She spies a gray-haired teen that she doesn't recognize.]

Excuse me!

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

?

Yes?

[yokaiofnaps.livejournal.com]

What world are you from?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Earth P3/P4.

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

[Marona is looking decidedly down, heading for nowhere in particular... Until she sees Souji, anyway. After a moment of speechless shock, her expression instantly brightens.]

You're back!

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

[as does Souji's!]

Marona! Hey!

It's really great to see you're okay. I was worried whatever happened might not just have been local.

[bravegreen.livejournal.com]

[Her smile falters a bit at this.]

No... Everyone at C.O. is fine. But when I heard about what happened, I was worried something might have happened to you...

N-not that we can just ignore it or anything! Everyone's going to work real hard... We'll get your world back, I'm sure of it!

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

Yeah. We will. If I managed to get back here, there's definitely a way to save everyone else, right?

Thanks, Marona.

...you know, I kind of missed you when I was back home. I've got a problem with all my friendships being long-distance sometimes.

[keythatconnect.livejournal.com]

H-hey! Are you okay?

[BRB Rushing in to help you stranger.]

I had to check, but apparently they HAVEN'T met on-camera. I blame Kusuha.

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

[He's getting up. Just...give him a sec.]

Better than I was.

[Okay he's up, still looking disoriented, though]

Hey, you're...

> ...

Agent Riku
Agent Sora
Councilor Mickey

Agent Sora, right?

Let's just say they met once off-screen and leave it at that?

[keythatconnect.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that would be right.

[Wait a minute.]

Enforcer Souji?

[punches-fog.livejournal.com]

*nod*

Thanks for the help.
