When you wake up on the cold ground, blinking in confusion, the innate realization that something is wrong settles in your heart. You feel a profound sense of loss. Who are you...? What are you meant to do?
Thick, misty fog surrounds you upon all sides so that you can barely see. From what you can see, you’re in a thickly dense forest, with strange vines choking off the trees and natural vegetation. Maybe it is just the fog, but all of the color around you seems muted. And when you look down at your hands, even you seem to lack color. It's as though someone has taken the world and washed it gray.
There isn’t time to ponder what that might mean, however. Because suddenly, you get the distinct feeling that you are not alone. The presence is powerful, disrupting your thoughts. It helps steady your mind just a little-- but is this presence friendly?
A separate presence and voice suddenly cuts through the air disrupting your thoughts. ]
Halt!
[It is a clear and direct demand. It rings out from somewhere within the mist. You get the impression that you should listen or there could be trouble.]
Who are you? Another intruder? State your name clearly. I will know if you are lying. We will not allow another assault upon this heart.
[ The fog recedes a little revealing that you are surrounded on all sides. Men in white robes with blue trim have arrows trained upon you from the ground and in the trees. None of them lower their weapons, except for the one who spoke. His own dips down only a little. ]
You are-- [ There's a pause ] You are from within Tokyo-F. Upon Taisho...
[ His weapon lowers the rest of the way. ]
Do you know where you are? This place is not safe.
[ The fog recedes a little revealing that you are surrounded on all sides. Men in white robes with blue trim have arrows trained upon you from the ground and in the trees. None of them lower their weapons, except for the one who spoke. Bow lowering to his side, the man approaches. ]
You are... from our master's unit, Heart Soldier Senshi, are you not?
[ He lifts a hand up and signals for everyone to lower their own weapons. The others follow suit, and one by one begin to disappear back into the fog. ]
I apologize for the alarming greeting. The situation right now is dire, however, and we cannot take chances. This place is not safe for us to talk right now, not as you are currently.
Please-- your existence out here is not very stable right now. If you will follow me, I can take you to someone who will be able to explain a little better.

[It is eerily quiet.

Re: BEGINNING
The sudden voice, unexpected though it is, doesn't unnerve him - quite the opposite; a voice is far better than aimlessly wandering this fog.]
Ah, I fear it would be a lie, were I to state any name clearly! Do call me whatever pleases you.

Re: BEGINNING
It seems I am lost. Will you please direct me to a safer place, then?
Re: BEGINNING
He waves a hand and the others back down, weapons lowering before disappearing back into the fog. ]
Of course. Follow me. I am sure you are full of questions. I will take you to someone who will be better able to explain them. Come.
[ And he will lead him to a man standing beside a stone statue. ]
Re: BEGINNING
[she stares at this person in utter bewilderment]

Re: BEGINNING
[she frowns a little bit, immediate concern]
Why?

[ His brows crease. ]

Re: BEGINNING
[that is such an escalation and she now has to look at herself, just to make sure]
Uh-- okay. Okay. Just-- tell me what's going on.
[she'll follow]
Re: BEGINNING
[ And he will lead her to a large stone statue. ]
