The Grand Entrance
[ When you awaken, it's in a bed. But it's not your bed. Someone is hustling and bustling nearby--multiple someones. They seem to be working hard on something. When you awaken, it's in a very clean room, but you're inside. When you finally open your eyes, you're safe in a nice bedroom with five identical girls running around and keeping the place nice and cozy. Yes, that's right, five identical girls running around. For those familiar with it, they could be cosplayers. But they're not. Also, unlike their original design, they have obvious ball joints to make them more puppet-like. What do you guys do? ]

[ Wink! He's definitely flirting. ]
no subject
He turns to one of the nuns running this place. ]
Excuse me. Could you bring me something else to wear?
[ Nuns in a town he's never seen... he isn't worried about. But these strangers? He turns to the group. And removes his helmet. ]
... Fódlan? That's not a region I recognize. Even discounting anywhere the Empire has conquered...
[ He turns to Sylvain. All right, well. Sylvain can be his guinea pig, he thinks. But he should try the old fashioned way first. ]
Tell me about this Adrestian Empire.
no subject
[ But one of the Sistermon, who were growing increasingly worried, goes to try and find clothes. The others are whispering. ]
The Adrestian Empire... I'm not part of it. Well, more like Faerghus isn't anymore. But it was founded about forty-one years, I think? After Saint Seiros performed her miracles. Uh... Listen, I'm not the best at school. And history's hard. But basically they're a small empire that takes up part of our continent, and we're in an uneasy alliance with them. Doesn't sound anything like your nightmare.

[ He might have spent his time gambling, but he did actually have to pass. ]
I am starting to come to a conclusion that seems ridiculous, but I have no other way to rationalize the differences.
no subject
[ And a look over at Lotor and Eric. ]
And you. I'm guessing, despite appearances, Galra isn't a fancy name for "dragon" or "manakete."

no subject
No, not dragons, and I have never heard of the other name. They’re my father’s species, possessed of a Warrior ideal that has been twisted and corrupted beyond recognition by the Empire. I’m actually short and ‘delicate’ by the standards of most full blooded Galra.
no subject
[ Seriously? ]
They're not real. Certainly, the technology named after such things is real. For example, the Knightmare Frame Lancelot, named after one of King Arthur's Knights... but legends of knights and chivalry and dragons are just that: legends.
no subject
Not where I'm from. Dragons are closely linked with the gods, too. Not that Fódlan worships any deities other than the chief Goddess.
no subject
Rare but real; I’ve only heard of them appearing on worlds with significant sources of magic.
no subject
... The power to match a God? You make that yourself.
[ He snorts. But he knows very well such powers exist. He's lying through his teeth. His own eye shows just such a power. ]
I don't believe in such things as Goddesses or Gods. I believe in creating my own miracles.

no subject
[ He says it simply. ]
It's a common philosophical and scientific speculation. "For everything you do, there's an alternative world where you did something else. Or others where things are even more different than that." Take that about... ten hundred thousand steps apart and I suppose you might get the explanation.
At least, that's the best I could come up with.
