~Joshua Edard Rowan~
"Hey, I need you to step back for me... Unless you want the door to crush you, of course" Joshua stepped back at the sudden appearance of this woman, who was she? Why did she have such strange weapons and why was she so... eager to destroy the door in a building that clearly was not soundly built? Joshua felt his eyes quickly running up and down her body, but his eyes kept returning to the strange blades she seemed to wield... they were... different, to what he normally encountered. He heard the other girl respond positively and move away from the door. "Wait a moment! That's not a safe ide..." *CRASH* Before he could even finish his sentence the young woman who, admittedly, seemed to be on par with his age, had kicked down the door with great force. In anger, Joshua reached into his pocket instinctively, his hand wrapping around the black shiv like object that in truth his Ebony blade and... wait... It as still there?! Joshua's anger was quickly replaced by a sigh of relief... as he lessened his quick approach. For a few moments he had assumed it not to be with him. Still his aggression quickly returned and he approached the woman with the strange blades whom he had noticed had been staring at him without the slightest hint of emotion.
"Do you suffer from illness M'lady? Or are you really so dull as to violently kick down doors in a house that looks fit to collapse as it is... honestly it's like this place was hit by an... earthquake." He paused momentarily. Just like his memory... or vision... or whatever it was... this place felt like it had been struck by a quake of the Earth itself. Either that or some very angry people with weapons had come through here and with the violent actions of the girl to which he had just spoken, he wasn't ruling out that as a possibility. He felt he was lost in thought so he quickly adjusted himself and stood up right, about to speak further but as he began to do so he heard another voice in response to his earlier statement, from the girl that had stood beyond the now ruined door.
"Y-yes sir! I assume that you are also then...." Joshua was taken aback by her appearance at first and did not respond to her words directly. "Y...you're hair... it... it is the color of the flowers that bloom by the roadside..." On his travels, Josh had encountered a peculiar breed of flower the bloomed in a pink shade, the normally dull tones of the medieval era made such a color a rare sight so to him this girls hair was both unique and beautiful. He was quite taken aback to be sure, on the note of strange colors, it didn't seem that anybody had noticed his red eye, which glistened brighter in the dull light of the room. He wasn't complaining of course but it was... odd. Maybe they had and simply weren't mentioning it? He couldn't be sure. Joshua realised he was still staring at the girls hair and straightened. "A... ahem yes M'lady, I believe I am in the same situation as you... should that be a good or a bad thing I have yet to see."
"I swear we're in Japan... We're still in my home city... We have to be..." Josh jumped and turned at the sound of the strangers voice, he was shocked by his sudden approach but lowered his guard at the sight of his appearance. He didn't seem a threat and there was no bad vibes to him. He looked fairly normal, his clothing was a little strange maybe but he couldn't exactly judge as everybody else's was a little different to Joshua's perspective also. "Hey lady... I get you may be in the military or whatever... but it's an outdated weapon... whatever that... and those," He pointed at some small tank like apparatus, unfamiliar to Joshua in every way.... these were outdated? What was going on here?... "And lower your weapon... it's not like we're foreigners or anything...." Foreigners? Well that was true... in terms of appearance and nationality... these people seemed to be of at least similar origin to Joshua in some ways. But wasn't that even stranger? In all his life, Joshua had been considered an outcast for both his eye and his appearance. How odd. Still, at the very least this boy was talking sense and seemed to be trying to calm the situation down a little... Still had he said Japan? Surely not... he had heard about the land of Japan and it's emperor briefly in his travels... but it was years travel from his previous location and he had never even hastened a guess that he would ever see the country... they couldn't have been where they were... could it?
"Aye, this young man is correct, if those weapons are drawn then how can relations be continued in peace? It is most appropriate that you would sheathe them post haste." Joshua remarked, siding with the new arrival on the matter.
"U-Um... D-do any of you know the exit...? I-I don't remember your faces in my village... and we never have new comers either since there's only a few people left of us..." The young lady bearing hair alike to the color of flowers had spoke this time, she seemed to be seeking an exit to the building they were apparently stuck in... which was a fair proposal as leaving said location would surely provide access to other people, those who would know of their true location. "Well, I can't say I know." the boy responded and Josh decided to listen for a moment.
"An earthquake happened, buildings crashed... I think people died too... Anyways, where do you guys live?" He asked the Joshua and the girls, "I live in Tokyo, and you guys look like foreigners. It may take a while to get back home if that's the case..." Joshua froze with a troubled expression... did he say... an earthquake? "Anyways, I guess we might as well say our names, right? Since I'm assuming none of us know the way out. Yuu Kokonose." Josh was still frozen. Did that mean.... His vision really had been a memory... Had he killed all those people?! Just to save himself?! He felt his knees wobble and he tried to remain upright. What on Earth had he done?! He had to... he had to find out the truth! He had to escape that building... and perhaps with the assistance of these others he could do just that.
As the pink haired girl introduced herself as Aria, Joshua spoke. "I am called Joshua, Joshua Edard Rowan... I hale from now particular kingdom that I am aware of, I have traveled near all my life.... I believe that introductions are nice but we really need to escape from here... I also remember an Earthquake like you mentioned... it was horrible... and if such an even truly took place then surely we must leave and make certain of what has transpired." Joshua finished and held his forehead in thought. Just what trickery had taken place?!
