[Who has two metal thumbs and looks really confused? This guy. Have yet another of those giant robots that keep showing up.

This one looks distinctly like a very traditional Japanese police officer, though. He veen has a little crest on his chest that looks like the lapels of a jacket. He speaks very cautiously and is extremely formal.]

Excuse me... if anyone is here, would you mind telling me what is going on? I was resting one moment, and I just woke up here.

If this is some kind of criminal scheme, I'll let you know right now, you won't be getting away with it.

If it isn't... a little assistance and an explanation would be wonderful.

Also, if anyone has seen a child around? He's small, about nine years old, his name is Tomonaga Yuuta. He was with me before I woke here. If you've seen him, please tell me.

[He seems visibly anxious about that last part.]

[ Considering Nick has only seen Gunmax and Kagerou, yes, Deckerd is definitely the more friendly looking giant robot he's ever had the pleasure of communicating with. ]

Quite like the story, I'm afraid. Complete with a Red Queen and everything, if the locals are to be believed.

It's a pleasure, Deckerd. My name is Nick Hardaway. I'm another of the newcomers to this world.

Ahhh that's so odd. Though not the strangest thing I've ever seen.

The pleasure is all mine, Mister Hardaway. It looks like we'll all be working together to find a way home.

It only gets stranger from there. I don't suppose magic exists in your world, by any chance?

I'm not sure I have much of a home to return to, but I'll look forward to helping you all the same.

I've seen... forms of it.

[The man who could turn slips of paper into serpents, for example.]

No? Why would you say that?

Mm, I'd say you're likely from a different world than mine. Not because of the magic--that could exist in my own for all I know--but I'm fairly certain I would have heard of something like you if enormous robotic police officers existed in my own world.

I died immediately before arriving here. You could say this place is... sort of an afterlife, as far as I'm concerned.
