Yes, I went there.

[Watch out, ADR, because someone in a pink jacket with puffy white pants is about to pop into existence. He tumbles end over end, coming to a stop on his rump, and letting out a whine that a long haired Luke would be proud of.]

Llooooooyd! You didn't have to push me that hard, man!

[He paused... before the redhead cracked his eyes open, looking around.]

Lloyd? Hey, where are you, bud?

[A pause.]

Sheena? Anyone?

[The redhead paused again, listening for any kind of response, before he climbed up to his feet, brushing himself off. When he lifted his head... there was the distinct scowl of a certain grumpy God General. And when he spoke again, muttering under his breath, anyone that could hear would know that it was definitely him.]

Great, now where the hell am I?

[Anise...Is just staring from her seat as she saw the redhead poof into existence, rolling forward a few times before whining about being shoved by someone whom she did not know.

The young woman pressed a hand to her mouth, holding back a giggle as she watched him start to figure out things.

And then his attitude suddenly changed to someone whom she was very familiar with. And considering the clothes he was wearing it made it all the more odd to see. ~~Pink doesn't go with red, Asch~~.]

Asch?

[SHITFUCK HE THOUGHT HE WAS ALONE!!!!]

[Asch left the fumbling to his mind as he spun around, the Zelos act back up really fast as he spotted the young lady sitting across the way. He hasn't made the connection yet as to who she is, and that's probably for the better.]

Asch? You mean there's another redhead around here that's as devilishly handsome as I am?

[And for the umpteenth time, Asch is cursing Zelos for being such a womanizing ass.]

[The puppeteer tilted her head curiously. Another redhead?]

Well I suppose there's Luke too...Are you a replica?

[Anise stood from her seat as she made her way over, her heels clicking softly against the cobblestone as she looked the man over. Was he from another universe and that's why he was like that?]

May I ask what your name is if you aren't Asch?

[Asch bit back the urge to say, "Hell no!" instead putting on his best, "Zelos is a dumbass," face.]

Replica? I've heard of replicas of designer clothes, but of humans?

[He waved a dismissive hand, and instead took hers, giving her the best Zelos smolder he could manage.]

It's Zelos. Zelos Wilder, the Chosen. And who might you be, my delicate little flower?

[Designer clothing? Asch never cared about such things...As far as she knew anyway.

And then the Asch look alike did something the God-General would never do (in public at least). He took her hands and actually flirted with her...even if it did seem a little force.

Giving him a flirtatious smile, she didn't shy away from the affection.]

Anise Tatlin, Ambassador of Daath. A pleasure to meet you Zelos.

Well, Anise--

[Wait. Wait. WHAT?!]

ANISE?!

Well 'Zelos', you seem to be familiar with my name. May I ask how~?

[Shiiiiiiiiit, his cover is almost blown, but who could blame him? He hadn't seen Anise in a long time, but not this long. He paused, squinting reaaaaaaaally hard at Anise's face, before letting out a breath.]

Ha! Honey, you scared me there for a moment! See, there's this really crazy chick where I'm from -- totally out of her mind. You have the same name, you see.

[ Not seconds earlier, Luke had passed under the very same spot where this strange redhead was deposited. So when there's suddenly someone talking behind her, she gives no thought to whirling around and kicking full-force, her foot connecting with the seat of someone's pants. ]

Where-- [ No, stupid question. He came out of nowhere. ] Who're you?!

[ Since she's yet to even get a glimpse of "Zelos"' face, this person is falls under the Possibly Dangerous category in Luke Logic. ]

[That...was the oddest reaction she had to someone looking at her face. She almost wanted to check herself in a mirror to make sure everything was okay.]

Oh? But if you know her then you should have known she is not me~ So then why were you so surprised~?

[And there it was; Asch let out a sound of protest as his ass was kicked, flopping over face first into the dirt.]

Heeeeeey! I'm pretty sure I didn't deserve that!

[He turned around, holding his ass... only to see the damn dreck. It took everything for him to keep in character -- because like hell he was going to let Luke see him dressed and acting like this -- and not give in to the urge to call him a dreck.]

[Although... maybe it was just because he had spent so much time pretending to be Zelos (oh god, the bastard was rubbing off on him!), but... did the replica appear... curvier?]

What's the big idea? If this is how you greet people around here...

Well, you could very well be her for all I know.

[He paused, eyes flicking back and forth.]

I didn't just end up two hundred years in the future, did I? You're not really the same half-elf, trying to trick me, are you?

Half Elf? What exactly is a Half Elf?

As for where we're at we're in a nexus of sorts that seems to only involve our world and different dimensions of it along with universes.

A half-elf. You know... a half human, half elf.

[He paused to listen to that explaination. Well, that explained why Anise would be older, and why he would show up, but not Lloyd and the others. A world for people from Auldrant, hunh? And he thought Sylverant and Tethe'alla were messed up.]

'Our world'? So you're from Tethe'alla too, hunh?

...I didn't realize such a thing existed...

[Anise blinked before giving him a look mixed between confused and 'Are you crazy?'. ]

No...Im from Auldrant...I thought that one would have to be from there to get here.

Auldrant, hunh? I'm sorry, my little kitten, but I've never heard of a place like that.

Really? ...How odd, I think the Colonels would find that bit of information interesting along with you.

[Anise tapped her chin as she looked the man over. Something was definitely fishy, she was rather sure he was lying to. But until he made a noticeable mistake, she wouldn't call him out on it.]

[ Aside from the weird clothes -pink? Really?- Luke was almost reminded of her younger self, though this guy's whining was too laid back to be one of them. One from an Auldrant she was familiar with, anyways. It was entirely possible he had had more discipline as a kid and therefore knew better than to be the same brat she had been. ]

Ah, sorry... I didn't mean anything by it, but you surprised me.

[ So far this guy hadn't shown any signs of being dangerous, and Luke relaxed a bit before offering him a hand up. ]

So who are you? The name's Luke.

[Oh god no. Not Jade. Not multiple Jades. They would see right through his act without any effort.]

Well, I'd be happy to help, but really, I'm more interested in information about you, my delicate flower.

[When in doubt, turn up the charm. That's what Zelos always told him, and it made him gag, but it almost always worked.]

[Asch waved a dismissive hand; at least even while being Zelos, he could still treat the dreck like an ass.]

Look, whatever. I'm not interested in dealing with guys anyway.

[ Already she wants to punt this guy again for good measure. Just who did he think he was? ]

Then you shouldn't go dismissing people so quick, because I'm not a guy.

[ As much as she hated dispensing that information right off the bat, it seemed like no answers would be forthcoming otherwise. Besides, that was how Anise got things, wasn't it? By using her "female charms"? ]

[...oh god.]

[He had to be kidding. He couldn't be... there was just so many levels of WRONG and WHY and OH GOD that Asch didn't want to think about. For one, it would prove that he'd been spending too much time pretending to be Zelos, as he called it before really talking to Luke, and...]

[ohloreleiwhydoyouhatehimsomuch?!]

...seriously?

Yeah, seriously.

[ There's an unspoke threat laced into those two words that speak volumes more than anything Luke could actually say. Keep on doubting her, Asch, and see what it gets you. ]

I take it that changes things?

[Oh god. Oh god. Oh god. Zelos, can you feel the force of his rage and anger from Tethe'alla? Can you?]

[Of course, none of this shows on his face. Asch stares dumbfounded for a moment... before he's the sudden model of gentlemanly.]

Well, of course it does, my little kitten. Forgive me for being so rude.

[He swept her hand up (OHGODDRECKGERMS), placing his lips against the back of her hand softly.]

Zelos Wilder, Chosen of Tethe'alla. What an unexpected pleasure to meet you.

H-huh?

[ Eeeeeh?! Kitten? Wait, what's he doing? He isn't-- He wouldn't really-- He... He did. This guy kissed her hand! Luke almost felt like dying of embarrassment, except... The whole thing gave her a kind of thrill, complete with pleasant tingling. It always happened when someone made a big deal of her being a girl (in a good way) and yet it never got old. ]

I... Um, ditto. S-so you're Zelos...? That name sounds familiar, I think. Wonder why...

I wouldn't be surprised if you heard of me, my lovely little flower. I am a very well known man, after all.

[Death to you, Zelos. DEATH.]

[Not like she didn't?

Anise smiled, noticing how he turned the conversation around.]

Just what would you like to know about me, Mr. Zelos~?

[Better be careful, she isn't afraid to use her deadly charm either~]

Well, I'd certainly like to know your type.

[...even though he already knows it. Short and green! It'll give him a good excuse to run away quickly, at least.]

[Florian is taller now...

Asch probably doesn't realize that Anise took up the Colonel's hobby of messing with people.]

Mmm, I'd say handsome like you is definitely up my ally~ How about you, what's your type~?

[...shit.]

Really? Well, I'm flattered, my lady~

[ Once she learns about the mix-up, Luke will have to write Zelos a long thank you letter for several reasons, not the least of which being for putting Asch in the most awkward position ever. ]

I guess that's true back home, but this isn't exactly... there. For you, anyway. Where did you say you came from again?

[ Yeah, she knows he said Tethe'alla, but that still doesn't help her recall why his name rings a bell. ]
