Suzaku?

[She looks around her, not recognizing anything. There is a fountain close by though.]

Cornelia?

[Where was she before this? There was a bed and Suzaku was there. He was holding her hand and…had they been crying? It all felt blurry in her mind. She could make out the big shapes, but not the details.]

Zero?

Hello, is anyone there? [She continues speaking into the communicator. It isn't exactly the kind she is familiar with, but she just wants someone—anyone—to answer her.]

I think I'm lost. I need to get back to… [Where?] Does anyone know where I am?

[The sudden voice catches her a little off guard even if she had been requesting it.] Oh, hello. The city? You mean the Tokyo Settlement?

The one I'm looking for? Is there more than one Zero here?

I know of at least three Zero's that have been here in the time I have. I don't think there are that many remaining.

[deadly_legacy]

Three? [His answers seemed to just make more questions.]

May I ask who you are?

[private]

[missingthread.livejournal.com]

I'm Zero.

[deadly_legacy]

O-oh, I see.

But the Zero I was looking for was here? Was it recently? ...How do you know which one I meant?

I'm sorry. I don't mean to ask so many questions. I'm just a little surprised by all of this.

If I remember correctly, people often asked for him. There were several mistaken identities, where people thought others were referring to him when they were speaking of me. I never met him, but in his world he was very...large...an important person. To some good, to others not so good.

The third one may still be around, but I just returned myself and I don't recall him being around much when I left. It's only been a couple of days here in the city. It's been a around a year for me.

[Just...silent as she tries to absorb that.]

This is all very confusing.

My apologies. It can be a lot to take in sometimes. Being new here. This place, it brings people in from all different worlds...all different times.

[deadly_legacy]

How is something like that possible?

[private]

[missingthread.livejournal.com]

No one is really positive how they get here, just that the people who run the place have brought them here. They are referred to as the Deities.

[deadly_legacy]

...Are they really? I mean, are they gods?

[private]

[missingthread.livejournal.com]

I think that depends on who you ask. I don't believe they are, but they have the ability to do some really...chaotic things happen to people and the City in general.

[deadly_legacy]

Oh, I see. May I ask what sort of things?
