[It was rare for him to feel anything similar to surprise, but he hadn't exactly expected to wake up in a strange bedroom surrounded by pictures of people he didn't recognize. It would be a surreal experience and feeling for anyone, but there were a few things that added to it for Wilhelm.

The first was that there was no reason for him to wake up. He never slept.

The second was that there was no person, galaxy-wide, in his reality he didn't recognize.

He simply picked up the picture and stared in wonder at it for a moment. What an altogether odd occurrence. ...Had something gone wrong during the struggle against Zarathustra? Had he hallucinated mankind's eventual victory entirely? He could identify the clothing as being common in 1950s America; had a bizarre temporal anomaly occurred. He felt lightheaded. He needed to-

He felt lightheaded. He dropped the picture.

He didn't experience physical feelings.

He tried to search, to see if he could connect with the Unconscious. Nothing. ..An entirely new dimension then? Or had just that much damage been dealt. With his usual means of gathering information cut off, he supposed he'd have to explore. Looking at the phone next to his bed stand, he said in a calm, collected voice.]


...How interesting. There isn't, perhaps, anyone who could explain to me as to how I got here, or why?

[OOC: Anyone who possesses psychic powers, or some form of magic that can detect mental waves or something, you're going to feel a short moment of extreme discomfort when Wilhelm first wakes up. Being the personification of the Collective Unconscious of his universe, imagine the sensation his entrance brings as feeling like you're swimming in the ocean, and feel something just impossibly massive moving underneath you. It's only there for a brief moment before it's gone, but it's clearly there.

Also, MOMO-mun and Rubedo-mun, since you have both been accepted, I've decided to start by making the first post of our group's cast. I hope you don't mind, and please inform me if you do.]

Isn't there?

[Oh, he can make guesses...]

and denial was such a happy place!

It's bad no matter how you look as it, as innocent people would die. You could only hope to save whoever you can.

[A puase.]


You must enjoy debates like this. C-considering how calm you are for someone who was just kidnapped and brought here...

Poor guy...

And yet, the better response would be to send the train down the path with the one pedestrian, for the death of one is certainly less loathsome then five. Would you disagree?

I do enjoy speaking with people like this. It provides an interesting sense of insight into how they think.

Maybe, but... I-I couldn't let anyone die if I could help it. I-If it were me.

Ah. I-I'm not sure what all of this would say about me. [Another nervous chuckle] What do you do, where you're from? i-If you don't mind me asking.

Then what would you do?

Overly concerned about the right thing to the point of being paralyzed when presented with a choice to do the right thing, for one.

I regulate and protect.

[Another pause. Hmph.] I... I guess I'd do my best to save whoever I could, be it the one person or the group of 5. I would do whatever I could to make sure no one died. Accept it or not, that's my answer.

[Well that's nice and vague.] ...I see. As part of an organization?

If you so believe it to be one.

Somewhat. I've established many organizations in order to ensure my universe's stability.

Your... whole universe? Is it something to do with the Green Lantern Corps? There's someone in my house who belongs to that, it sounds like something she's involved in.

Yes. Reality in general, although I am charged with protecting the Lower Dimensional Domain specifically.

That name is unfamiliar to me.

[Poor Crowe, it's hard to be the ordinary guy in a town full of pan-dimensional badasses.]

You...protect reality. S-Sorry, that's just.... I never heard of anything like that before. It uh, sounds difficult.

Some steps are easy. Others, overbearingly difficult.

It does not help that mankind seems so bent on destroying itself.

I can imagine.

So, if you're here, what happens to everythign where you're from...?

[A pause.]

Man has proven that, at the moment, they are not in need of my guidance, though I had intended to still watch for a moment where they may have had need of me again.

Well that's good, then. Since you can never tell when you may or may not get out of here, returning to your duties may be difficult.
