Intro Log - Voice/Action

[Illogical does not even begin to characterize the situation that Spock has found himself in. Approximately 2.4 minutes ago he was on the bridge of the USS Enterprise, and through some, as of yet unexplained phenomenon taking no time at all, (possibly through some spacial anomaly or undetected ion storm) suddenly appeared inverted in a tree... Current conditions also leave much to be desired. Spock's Vulcan physiology requires higher temperatures, and proper garments for optimal comfort... the forest in which he is now located has a lower than optimal temperature, and coupled with the disappearance of his Uniform and thermal wear he finds himself rather... cold. Though, perhaps it is fortuitous that he appeared in clothes at all... the white pants will have to suffice.
Upon his initial assessment, and descent from the tree, he was amazed to see an alteration to his physical person]

...Fascinating.

[Spock cards his fingers through the feathered protrusions located in the area of his scapula. Since he could feel a rather curious sensation through manual stimulus of the ...wings, Spock can safely assume they are indeed his newly acquired appendages. He could not fail to notice that his wings are the same ebony color his hair is.
Taking in his surroundings, Spock could hear the sound of running water close by... but nothing significant that could give him evidence of his location. The terrain was similar to that of Earth, however, there was 'something' about them that Spock could not quite explain that told him 'no, this is not Earth'...
As he was about to venture towards the water in hopes of finding civilization, something catches his attention... it appears to be some form of recording device located at the base of the tree in which he just descended from. Picking up the device he also notices that it has his name on it and it appears to be active. Curious... This proves that he was indeed sent here on purpose. But why?
Spock finally decides to speak out loud.]

Greetings, I am Spock. Is there a conscious form of life out there that can tell me my current location?

Spock...

Arsene Lupin III. Aren't you a little young?

[Spock is...relieved to hear that there is someone out there. However, the nature of the connection leaves much to be desired...]
...If you are referring to a specific state in the life-cycle of a Vulcan, then yes, I am indeed considered young; this state does changes depending on the culture to which you are comparing it to.
However, if you are referring to my actual age, it seems as though you are suggesting that I am 'not the age I am supposed to be'. Have we met in an alternate universe perhaps?

It's the second one--and no, we haven't met. Just...be prepared for more commentary like that in the future. You're something of an icon to many people here. Or, well, you will be when you're older.

[Awkward fanboying. It was his job, and how he became friends with a few other people in the enclosure.]

Anyway, do you see any kinds of landmarks where you're at? A river? A lake?

[Spock wonders in mild annoyance if his alternate self has been 'meddling' here as well... however, there was something that did not amount to a logical explanation...]

I am near a stream that connects to a larger body of water appoximately 47ft East of here.

[If 'meddling' is defined as 'starring in a classic television show', then Spock's concerns were well founded.]

I hope you like to walk, because you have a ways to go. Follow it upstream and you'll find our village. It's the only one around here that's in easy access, so you can't miss it.

~~[It's going to be interesting explaining to Spock that he's only an actor in a TV show...! Some alternate reality! XD]~~

Very well, I thank thee for the information. I will inform you upon my arrival.

[~~He'll try.~~]

You're more than welcome, but you don't need to cut the feed so fast. You have a good hour or so ahead of you. I can answer some of your questions as you're walking, if you want a diversion.

Very well.

[Spock start to jog along the stream, his Vulcan strength carrying him far in a short amount of time. He speaks as though he's not exerting any energy at all.]

I am curious as to the purpose of the ... appendages protruding from my back...

[Conversely, Lupin settled back in his hammock, determined to figure out where the best place to meet the Vulcan was.]

You mean the wings?

They're mostly useless, unfortunately. You can't fly with them, and they're really annoying. Even so, you don't want to mess with them too much. Completely removing both of them from the body can be fatal, and we haven't yet figured out why that works.

Some people suspect that they're responsible for making foreign languages automatically intelligible. We have people from many different worlds and cultures here, so any kind of translation effect helps.

[Spock wonders why he could not have just utilized the Universal Translator... He is remiss to call the 'wings' annoying, however, they are less than optimal due to the fact that Spock is aware of all his bodily functions... to use a human phrase, they are 'throwing off his rhythm'. ]

Your lack of information suggests that most of the populace do not know how they came to be here. Is this reality a form of 'collection' of variant species?

[Spock hasn't tried to fold them underneath a suit jacket yet. They made it hard to achieve the clean lines that a suit grants its wearer, and that fact alone bothered Lupin. He had been there long enough to adapt, but it was still a lingering disappointment.]

We know how we came to this particular enclosure--Luceti, if no one answered that yet--but we don't know how we came to this world. The Malnosso, an organization outside of the enclosures that brings us to the individual villages, says that the world itself brings us here for whatever reason. We don't know it yet.

We're mostly humanoid here, Spock, but we're all from very different realities. Even the ones who claim Earth as their home aren't necessarily from the same Earth.

I have recent experience with the phenomena that is alternate realities.
The organization of which you speak... the Malnosso. Are they dangerous?

[Lupin frowned at the question--it was complicated.]

There are times when they are and times when they aren't. They're a bureaucratic organization with multiple departments, not all of which are in communication with each other. Some offer us missions to do work for them in exchange for compensation in the form of points that can be redeemed for items from home or their own specials. Others run annoying experiments periodically. The most recent one had floors turn into trampolines and left people walking on walls.

There's also a faction within the organization that kidnaps the residents for their own research or experimental purposes. The people, when they return, are often left with a strange condition. I had a friend turn into a cat once because of that...and an aquaintance of mine was recently forced to play the starring role in Sleeping Beauty.

That is... highly illogical. It would seem that the residents of Luceti are comparable to that of 'lab rats'.

I appear to be getting close to the village. Is there a specific place in which we can meet?

A lot of things here are illogical. You can try to rationalize it, or you can go with it. Sometimes a combination of both works too.

There's a fountain in the town square--I'll be there shortly.

[Spock contemplates what Lupin said and stays silent. He reaches what seems to be the village proper. There are people walking around, and Spock is actually starting to feel uncomfortable with his state of undress... He locates the fountain and starts in that direction.]

[Spock wouldn't have to wait for too long in his state of undress, as he is easy enough to spot for Lupin. That hair style was unmistakable from a distance. He's not as fast as Spock, but still quick.]

Oi! Hello! [He waved eagerly as he approached with one of his own spare dress shirts in hand. There was no need for Spock to bear indignity for too long.]

[Spock notices the ...rather enthusiastic individual who must be Mister Lupin. He also notices the shirt that Lupin brought along with him.]

Greetings Mister Lupin. Thank you for allowing me the use of your garments.

[Spock puts on the shirt... though Lupin is approximately 5 inches shorter than he is... the arms and the length leave much to be desired. Spock is not sure if comparing the level of self-consciousnesses from having the shirt on or off is apt... however, he is warmer.]

[Spock observes Lupin once more... and notices something disparate..]

Tell me Mister Lupin, what manner of species are you?

['Mister Lupin.' Here was yet another man that he needed to break of that habit.]

You're more than welcome. It's rough arriving here without proper clothes. Don't worry, your's are in one of the shops that I'll be taking you to.

[He was of average height for a human and lanky. It was the reason he got his clothes custom tailored when he was at home. Suits in standard sizes didn't fit his arms or legs. He hadn't expected the shirt to be a proper fit, but it was only polite.

The question, however, was extremely curious.]

I'm human, from Earth. Why?

Indeed, it would be most fortunate to acquire my Uniform again.

[Spock considers Mister Lupin's answer... it must have been the haircut...]

As my Captain would say, I asked for 'curiosity's sake'. I would ask for you assistance once more Mister Lupin, would you help me locate my Uniform?

[It was a classic 1970s hairstyle, complete with sideburns. Lupin was rather fond of them, even though he was aware that the style was becoming dated.]

I'll help you locate more than your uniform. Your weapon and some of your tech should be in the village too. Probably not all of it, but it should be something you'll find useful.

[He nodded toward the shops on the other side of the plaza.]

Come on, they're not far.

[To use another term, the situation seemed to be 'looking up' for Spock. He follows alongside Mister Lupin and takes in his surroundings.]

This place seems rather...peaceful...

[It was unsurprising, given their relative difference in height.]

It's like that at first, until we have one of those experiments I told you about. They're mostly annoying, but otherwise? It's like a small village in the Alps.

Fascinating.

[Spock quickly looks over the information he was provided with in the device...journal.]

Housing... I am curious. Is it required that I live with someone?
