"Ugh...!" I forced my eyes open, startled, I tried to look around but it was so dark! And cramped... Whoever trapped me here, I'll get them for messing with the Hydro Archon!
I sighed, and felt around me, my hands were met with coldness, despite wearing gloves. Was I touching metal? Then I reached out in front of me, and felt a metallic door of sorts.
I hesitated, before I pushed it open. I stepped out, and looked around.
"Where am I?..." Then, I saw two unknown figures at the end of the corridor. Building up the courage, I opened my mouth.
"Hey, you two!!" I yelled as the two figures turned their heads to me. I ran towards them, and eventually stopped right in front of them.
???: "Oh, it's another person!" The girl perks up.
???: "..." The boy remains silent.
Raising a brow, I glanced at the girl, then the boy.
Unknown girl: "My name is Kaedeakamatsu...." Kaede introduces herself, Noticing my confusion.
Unknown boy: "...Shuichi saihara..." Shuichi introduces himself after.
I nodded in acknowledgement, making a mental note of their names. ..those dont exactly sound like fontaine names.
"Uh. Where are we..?" I asked with a raised brow.
Shuichi: "All I remember is getting abducted by men with white vans.."
Kaede: "Really? Same!"
Kaede then glanced at me.
Kaede: "What about you... Er..?"
I crossed my arms, right, introductions. They don't seem to recognize me as the HydroArchon... Have I entered a completely different universe?!
"Furina. You may call me furina." I say, trying to hold back the urge to order for them to call me "Lady furina" after all, this doesn't seem like Tevyat...
Kaede: "Right! What about you, furina? Did you get abducted by men in white vans too?" She tilts her head curiously.
"..." I debated whether or not to tell them but I then decided to keep it to myself, I'm unfamiliar with my surroundings so it's best to be cautious... "Yes, actually, I got abducted by the same men in white vans!" I spoke lies through my teeth, nodding even though I had no idea what they were talking about.
Shuichi: "So then that must mean they're the ones who are responsible for putting us in here... I wonder if there's more people..."
Kaede: "You're right... Why were we placed into lockers anyways?..."
Both kaede and shuichi started to ponder, while I just looked at those box-shaped blue metallic thingys. So THOSE were "lockers"... Kaede and shuichi's pondering was quickly cut off by loud, heavy footsteps.
All three of us turned our heads to the direction of the sound, just to see... A HUGE ROBOT?! And it doesnt look like the robots back in fontaine, either!!
I wasted no time and immediately started running for my life, a look of fear washed over my face as I didn't dare look back. Shuichi and kaede followed suit.
"What is THAT?!" I yelled, desperately trying to quicken my pace.
