(So i'm technically Co-Gm now, the Blue part in the last post was me. Stupid JD and his being too tired to mention that.)<br/><br/>"So how long are you gonna stare at that stream?" Came a cute but slightly creepy voice to the side of C.O.G. "It can't be that interesting." If The overlord were to look at her she would resemble a stitched doll. Her mouth moved unnaturally as if breaking the stitching that should have been the mouth in the first place. As it was not there was just a dark void whenever she opened it. "I'm Road, Road Kamelot... And my boss sent me with an ultimatum." She put her stubbed hands behind her back and stepped around the overlord glaring some minions away from her "Work for him, and he won't consider you an enemy, don't worry you basically get to do whatever you want. He just wants me to keep an eye on you, tell you what things are off limits and such... Also feel free to ask me any questions i was sent to help you after all." she gave him a wink from her shirt button eyes.<br/><br/>____________________________________________________________________________________________________________________<br/><br/><br/>"Are you going to lean on that tree for the rest of your life?" SOF sighed as he addressed Kurisu.<br/><br/>She scowled at him "I'm just thinking."<br/><br/>"This isn't a dream if that's what you're thinking."<br/><br/>"I know that, even if it seemed like the most logical conclusion at first."<br/><br/>"It just doesn't feel like a dream." SOF said.<br/><br/>"There's far more to it than that... I know how I specifically dream and i also know the theory behind lucid dreaming. Taking this as a normal dream, I rarely hear in dream. So a conversation like one that we are having simply couldn't exist. Even giving that the only reason that I believe to only see and not hear in my dreams, comes from my inability to remember it, Those who are not blind do not dream in a tactile sense. I would never be able to feel that tree. Though it could be a lucid dream, most laws of dreaming are broken when you are in control of it. The two issues with that are my lack of control and my lack of certainty. It is not common, unless the person has a disorder for the distinction of dream and reality to ever be called into question. Assuming that I didn't suddenly develop Schizophrenia, then the simple fact that I have said this disproves that its a dream. While lucid dreaming you know that its a dream, and even in a partial lucid dream where you only control yourself and not the world around you, there is never the question of it being a dream. Either you know its a dream and feel trapped in your own head or you don't know and eventually you wake up. God i wish i could scan my brain right now." Kurisu had her hand on her chin the entire time as she paced between SOF and the tree.<br/><br/>SOF closed his eyes for a moment "So the most logical conclusion is that we were sucked into a different dimension?"<br/><br/>"That would be the most logical." She said with a frustrated face "If it weren't entirely impossible, no such theory exists to explain jumping dimensions... at least not adequately."<br/><br/>"Could this not be part of the multiverse theory?" SOF offered<br/><br/>"Even if it is where in that theory does it explain the logistics of jumping between the multiple worlds like some sort of magical rabbit?"<br/><br/>SOF shrugged "I'm sure it is possible scientifically. Seeing as you built a time..." He knew that saying that was probably a bad idea, so he stopped himself. It wasn't in time however.<br/><br/>"Time travel is impossible!" Fire and anger burned in her eyes as she leaned forward aggressively.<br/><br/>SOF nodded slowly, "Look... a lot seems impossible... But just look at my arm." SOF swung his metal prosthetic around.<br/><br/>She calmed a bit but she was still angry, "What does that have to do with time travel!?"<br/><br/>"It doesn't really... Just what this is... Is kinda impossible. This arm is connected to me through artificial nerves."<br/><br/>She took a breath "I don't think I can believe that. We are nowhere near replicating nerves."<br/><br/>SOF rubbed his temples and ripped Ed's shirt off. He now stood there half naked. SOF took a moment to admire his own impeccable abs as Kurisu blushed heavily.<br/><br/>"Hey, Hey, Hey What are you doing? Pervert! Why are you suddenly..." She shut up as she focused on the scarred skin that the arm was connected to. She slowly walked up to SOF "T-To be clear, I still think what you did was abhorrent... but this is for..." She almost said Science or curiosity as she touched Ed's metal arm. SOF  grunted slightly as his skin around that area was sensitive. His metal Arm twitched which caused Kurisu to jump.<br/><br/>"Really." She mumbled before running her fingers over the metal proper "Computationally it seems to be mostly steel and aluminium... That must be really heavy."<br/><br/>"You get used to it." SOF said honestly entirely unsure of why he was so used to his foreign body.<br/><br/>She stepped back "I suppose you made your point... but your clothes are actually in pieces."<br/><br/>SOF smiled wryly "Y-yeah... I impulsively thought that i'd just use alchemy... but i don't really know how to do that."<br/><br/>"Alchemy?" She squinted "Something about you is off... like invasion of the body snatchers off."<br/><br/>SOF used his non metal arm to rub his temples "This isn't my original body..." A huge roar cut him off "A crowd?"<br/><br/>Kurisu dropped the subject at the roar as well "We should check it out... might help us figure out whats going on."<br/><br/>"I agree wholeheartedly but lets just walk, would rather not get exhausted."<br/><br/>Kurisu nodded thankful that she didn't need to run more as she started to walk at SOF's side to the crowd.<br/><br/>The walk was mostly silent as the two of them observed the area around them. Soon the trees cleared and their vision was filled with a wall. SOF began to walk along the wall thinking that there must be a gate to get in somewhere. There was indeed a gate, a large one suggesting that vehicles of some sort passed through it. It was also tight with security. Guards with futuristic helmets and assault rifles dotted the entrance. SOF counted around fifteen personnel. He also noted that they looked like the Britannian soldiers in Code Geass. "Stay behind..." He began before chuckling as Kurisu was already behind him "What, i'm not the one who punched a Japanese Shadow citizen thing."<br/><br/>"Fair." SOF smiled walking into the center street<br/><br/>"Get outta the street blondie." Came one of the guards "The walking entrance is over there." He used his thumb to point to a door at the side of the road with two previously unseen guards at it. SOF nodded and quickly made his way over.<br/><br/>"You two on a date to the tournament? Sorry girly but your boyfriend is an idiot its almost over, you may be able to catch the finals."<br/><br/>Kurisu grinned "Well at least you got the idiot half right."<br/><br/>SOF sighed "Can we go in?"<br/><br/>The guard nodded "Neither of you are carrying weaponry or cargo so nothing needs to be inspected."<br/><br/>The doors opened and SOF and Kurisu were assaulted with the noise of moving horses and carts, plus the bustle of people. Something SOF noted was that a lot were not human, cat ears, dog ears, bipedal lizards and even those resembling demons. The town looked like a city state in the 1500's which was in contrary to the men with guns at the entrance. Kurisu looked liked she was about to go up to everything and study it. The boom of the crowd roared again snapping them both out of it "You know i've had a thought." Kurisu mused "It would make sense that we were not the only people pulled here, if there are others we should find them and then figure a way to get everyone home."<br/><br/>SOF squinted "What if they wish to remain here?"<br/><br/>"Why would anyone wish that?"<br/><br/>SOF chuckled "I'm not gonna get into that... at least not now... on your previous line of thinking if other were pulled here too, i'm guessing that its a good bet they are at that tournament."<br/><br/>Kurisu nodded "Right, lets get there quick."<br/><br/>They couldn't really get in the packed Colosseum but there was a hill over looking it that while still heavily populated had areas for people to sit. The combatants looked small from their birds eye view but SOF could swear he was seeing Goku even if that made almost no sense. Kurisu wore a similarly confused face before shaking her head. Then the announcer screamed into his microphone<blockquote><div><cite>TehZach1993 wrote:</cite>"WE HAVE A WINNER! Goku moves on to the finals!!"</div></blockquote>Both Kurisu and SOF were slack jawed. "He's from a manga wait..." Her eyes went wide and she glared at SOF "Am i from fiction?"<br/><br/>SOF coughed violently as that question hit him with whiplash. He then began to choke on his own saliva leaving Kurisu with a worried and horrified face "Hey, Hey are you okay!?"<br/><br/>SOF nodded and took a breath to calm himself "Y-yeah."<br/><br/>Kurisu sighed "Before you answer my question... I would like a name."<br/><br/>"Oh its SOF... But for simplicity sake just call me Ed."<br/><br/>She nodded "Now Ed answer my question!" Her voice was fierce<br/><br/>"To me you are... You are a character in a game."<br/><br/>She looked defeated for a moment.<br/><br/>"Don't worry you were amazingly written and did amazing things."<br/><br/>"That's not what i'm..." She sighed "Its the implication, I am someone else's thought, but I feel like I control myself, but that would be impossible if i don't truly exist.<br/><br/>"Hey don't worry about it... the way I see it is that, all thoughts spawn universes endlessly, so even if you're inception was someones thought, you yourself are entirely real. You are entirely you, every facet of your personality came from that brain that you study so much."<br/><br/>Kurisu gave a small smile before shaking her head "Its not that simple... but I appreciate it." She looked towards the arena again waiting for the finals. SOF smiled before stretching his arm and doing the same.
