Who: Hydra, Ikki, Allen, ANY
Where: The Arena
When: Day 98, evening
What: When we last left our intrepid heroes...

[In the arena, there's some decent quality meat burning as a gift to two particular Judges, a comatose member of Hydra and a few guards with torches... and not a whole lot else to explain what's going on.

Well the real interesting part is going on a little deeper anyway.]

. . . You're from a different point? I mean - ah, I shouldn't be surprised, Jim has stuff like spaceships. . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

Allen's war would need to last two hundred years. And reach Japan, too.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .Y-you're from Japan?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

I mean. . .

two hundred years and Japan. . . how is that . . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

'Allen' . . . it's English, isn't it? Though that could be a lot of countries . . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

Yes, English. Japan. . . that country has been almost completely wiped out by the Earl.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

I only remember a little bit of history, from my time. But . . .

Who's the Earl?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

The Earl of the Millennium. He's who the Exorcists are fighting. Our war is hidden, the public wouldn't know about it in history - only the Bookman's records. But if you - you're really from that far in the future?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Nods.]

I guess . . . that's good news, for Allen's side.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .That's - that's good news for everyone. I can't believe even Japan could recover enough. . . Is it because we win? Is it because we get out of here and use our wishes?. . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

It's fine a hundred years ago, too.

. . . Kenshin's from then.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .


That makes no sense.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Maybe . . . there's something missing?

None of us have remembered everything.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

M . . . maybe. . . and it's the future, so, there's still what hasn't happened yet. . . maybe Japan is restored?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

When you say . . . 'wiped out'. What do you mean?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . . I mean... Master said that Japan has refused to deal with foreign intervention or trade for hundreds of years. Nobody's left and nobody's gone in. Because of that, it's become a nesting place for Akuma. And because of that... almost all the humans that lived there are dead.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

[Nods.]

The isolation ended. During Kenshin's time, when the power of the shoguns was returned to the Emperor.

I don't remember anything about people dying.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

So. . . if he was one hundred years ago, and I'm two hundred. . . if we beat the Earl in my lifetime, one hundred years for humans to recover in Japan.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

I'm not sure how, if things were that bad . . . I don't think we knew how to make people, back then. But . . . it seems that way, for sure.

Surprise?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . . You mean non-traditionally make people?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Ahh . . . maybe Allen should forget that part.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

"Maybe forget that part". . .

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

I remember a lab, in a research facility. We were looking for . . .

[Shakes her head.]

. . .something important. But . . . one of the people I was with, though . . . she said it was like the place she was created.

. . . even after Allen's war, there are still secrets, in our world.

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[pierrotdetous.insanejournal.com]

. . .

Just. . . making people? Out of nothing? But -- how?

Re: MEANWHILE, IN THE ARENA:

[roadtothesky.insanejournal.com]

Not from nothing. There still has to be a chromosomes, a DNA sequence . . . and they need time to grow up, like anyone else.
