Welcome to Beacon: Gaiden Server

"Not yet," Lucy responded to Jack, before turning her attention to Ragnelle. "Is something wrong?"

Bristling a tiny bit, the noble shrugged it off before giving a calm smile. "Hah, I suppose it's easier to remember. 'Lansy' it is."

With the ninja cautiously staring at everyone present, 'Lansel' adjusted his tie and calmly returned the slight stare. "...Interesting choice of attire there. Trying to imitate someone out of one of those...manga books or just for comfort? ...I mean, not...that I would actually know that, but a friend loves those sort of things."

Of course, when Jack spoke up, the green-haired guy looked...slightly perplexed. "Sounds like there's a rather beastly story behind that, I take it?"

Elle sighed and crossed her arms again. "So no one knows what happened. Brilliant."

She listened to Jack and cringed. "Yeah, that sounds bizarre. Hopefully that doesn't happen to anyone else."

When Lucy asked her question, Ragnelle looked away again and fiddled with her cloak nervously.

"I...I just...did history say who was Vlad's?"

She suddenly shook her head and frowned.

"Never mind. It's stupid."

"Tyr, you're like Lucas." Jack muttered to Lucy.

"Yeah, he was younger than me and weilded different weapons. He hcallenged me to single combat-that's where I got these cuts." Jack said. "We fought and then he tried to eat me. Sounded like he had made familiars out of his versions of my friends." Jack turned. "He was calling out for 'lucy.'"

"Who was Vlad's?" Wait, does that mean...

"If you're wondering who he ended up marrying... well, he always wanted you," Lucy said to Ragnelle.

"To be honest, no one's sure who married my ancestor Tempestas either...the page our book of our family history has on that seems to be missing."

That...simply made Lansy blinked, an incredulous expression his face before giving a slight frown. "...That just sounds rather daft. Don't even have the words to respond to that."

"What?!" Elle spat out, gaping wide-eyed at Lucy.

Every other thought went right out of her head, as the implications of that statement hit her with the force of a flying brick to the face.

"What the actual...?! All this time-! Me, Vlad, aaaaaaargh!"

Elle's face had gone redder than her hair, arms flailing like a drunk.

"Eeeeeeeekkkk."

You can see the steam coming from her ears.

"B-but why the fuck me?! Me? Of all people!"

She set a tree on fire accidentally.

Scarlet turned and let out a sigh of irritation. She reached her hand up, held it for a moment before gently lowering it, the flames dying down with the motion. She turned towards Elle. "Yo, Spaz, could you not? That's a new trick, can't do it too often."

SHAKING THE BRANCHES

"Really? I heard she fucked a Reisentoter Warlord." Jack told Lucy. He assumed that if the reisentoters in her world were anything like they were in his, it would get amusing fast. He turned to Ellie. "Any strapping masculine warlords you've met lately?"

He honestly had no idea who the hell she was.

"You lot make an awful lot of noise." A distorted voice said as a figure in pitch black armor walked up. The figure was moderately tall, standing a little above six feet, clad from head to toe in dark armor with a massive sword hanging on its back. "Do you not know how to be quiet? Some of us were attempting to sleep."

" I'd explain, but first I think I need to better explain who you are to Jack before he makes up any more dumb stories," Lucy said, glaring at the direction Jack was at.

"Nope!" Jack said to the armored figure. He turned to Lucy. "If your jack is anything like me, you were always the brains of the operation."

He turned to Ellie. "I don't suppose anyone else here turns out to be an anomaly?...Not sure if that's a thing in your realities but I sort of fucked mine up."

The Nexus

Awakening with a pounding headache and his face flat against an uncomfortably dry patch of grass, Johnny◊ took a moment to unleash a bevy of curses aimed at his crew for failing to drag his arse back onto The Huntmaster last night as he hadn't the foggiest idea where the devil he was. Rising to his feet and finally getting a decent look at his newfound surroundings, Johnny quickly deduced that someone must have spiked his grog last night because as far as the Pirate knew, grass wasn't purple. Debating between curling back up and taking a nap as he waited for this to all blow over, or alternately, doing what his kind did best and explore and/or plunder this brave new land, Johnny finally settled on the latter as he began to prepare himself for the journey ahead.

Before he could set out on his adventure and find vast riches or attractive natives to seduce, Johnny finally noticed that he was not, in fact, alone.

Placing his hands on his hips and grinning, nonplussed, Johnny said "Am I safe in my assumption that you lot are here ta kill or capture me? If so, I have ta warn you, better lads an' lasses have tried and failed miserably."

Character: Johnny Bowker

Origin: Pre-B1

The Nexus: Time Unknown

Gage turned to Scarlet. "Oh! Hey, Red. First time you showed up in one'a these." He withdrew a can of coffee from nowhere, its surface cool and beaded with perspiration, and offered it to her.

"We've fallen into one of them holes outside of time an' space. Aside from the Princess over there, these guys seem to be some of our friends' ancestors or relations or associates." He cast a long look at Lansel before turning back to the redhead. "How old are you, by the way? Because I don't think you're the Scarlet I know..."

Scarlet turned back and stared at the boy. "Gage. I have heard you say some stupid shit in my time. But seriously: What the hell? And why the hell are you so calm? This is not normal, you could at least act a little impressed!"

She let out a small sigh. "I'm 18. What do you mean, not the Scarlet you know? I sure as hell know you."

Lansel glanced back at Gage out of the corner of his eyes before giving a nonchalant shrug of his shoulders. "I already got a suspicious look from the girl dressed up as...what do you call them, a 'ninja'? While it's smart to be cautious...I'd rather focus on figuring out where we are or what's going on." The young man curtly commented.

The Nexus: Time Unknown

The metal Faunus turned to some pirate and responded, "If we were, we'd have a clue where we were and where to go." He then turned to Jack and Lucas, or rather Lucy, "How come neither of you have augs? And why are you a girl?"

The Nexus: Time Unknown

"See, that's a sticky point. We're of an age, right? Because I'm pretty sure I'm a few weeks past 19." The coffee once more disappeared with a flourish Cerise Chester would have seen coming a mile away and would be impressive to rubes.

On closer inspection, this Gage did seem older, growing slices fitter than she remembered, even differing in manner, as he slowly chewed his sandwich. The way he talked was less like a street mountebank and more like a sales agent with more than a few big projects under his belt.

"And believe me you, it was hella impressive the first few times. But now, it just gets weird. Though you're probably the closest Scarlet I've known. And I've met a few."

Scarlet eyed him skeptically. "Uh-huh, right. If that's true, which I doubt. I need to know: who or what, why and what do I need to do to get out of this place? I've got a date to be getting to."

"I have augs!" Jack shouted back, pointing at his robot hand. "And she's a girl because she was born without a penis!" He said, before wincing.

"Was that last bit out loud?" He asked, looking around and hoping that Lucy was blind enough to not see him. "Well, we should probably move-not getting answers standing still." He said quickly, trying to stop the group from replying to that last bit.

...First trolling Ragnelle because he didn't pay attention in class, now this?

"..Did that sound better in your head, Jack?" Lucy said, irritation seeping through on her face. "Because I'm pretty sure that's not the answer Grigori was looking for."

Jack shrugged, beginning to walk...thataway. "Nothing ever sounds good in my mind. Doesn't your Jack get confused a lot?" He asked, making a circular motion around his hear with his finger.

He was going to have a bombshell of a session with Doc Svengali after this.

The Nexus

Johnny chuckled lightly before replying to Grigori "Ah, but that could easily be a lie to try an' convince ta let me guard down, which I assure you, doesn't happen often."

Resting a hand on his trusty blunderbuss, Johnny "Assumin' you lot are tellin' the truth an' we're all somehow well an' truly lost, don't suppose any of you have any bright guddamn ideas to get us out of here. I've got a handful of fair lasses and a few lads waitin' for me back on me ship an' I'd hate ta keep 'em waitin' on me too long."

Elle gaped at Lucy, head spinning and unable to process what she had said.

Frankly, she had no idea what to think. Vlad was one of her best friends, but beyond that?

Ugh.

She shook her head and huffed in frustration.

"Alright, alright. I think we should be focusion on what's important here. How do we get out?"
