Is he awake yet, kupo?

Not yet, he's out like a light!

[A PCD is turned on, revealing a unconscious young boy with black spiky hair, propped up against some crates in the First District of Traverse Town. One of the moogles was poking the boy's cheek, his thick bangs partially obscuring his face. After a couple more pokes, we finally hear a groan.]

Hey, kupo! I think he's waking up! Kupo!

Wake up, kupo! Wake up!

Nnnngh... 'm awake, 'm awake, stop pokin' me...

[The boy swats at the moogle and lifts his head, a hand coming up to rub his forehead. It's clear the kid's got a bit of a headache. He blinks rather bright blue eyes at the creatures and jumps a bit.]

Whoa! What're you?!

We're moogles, kupo! Here's your phone, we gotta help some other people. Don't worry, everything will be explained, kupo!

H-Hey, wait a minute! I need to know- [Aaaaaand they're gone.] why 'm not at the Coliseum...

[Welp. He stares at the PCD, totally confused as to what a phone is, let alone that it was even recording him.]

Who'm I suppose to ask?

...left behind?

Greece is a country in my world. [If her world, then, was lost to the Darkness...]

Oooh... that's sort of odd, but I think I know what you mean.

The stories of the Greek gods are well-known there, too.

Just stories though?

[They're very real for him.]

That's a difficult question to answer, isn't it?

[Head tilt]

Isn't it just a yes or no question?

It's not that easy to say when it's a matter of faith.

[Of course, it hadn't exactly shocked her to meet Hades here. But she also doesn't know if she believes the gods existed that way in her own world.

After all, she and her friends are of those same bloodlines.]

What do you mean? I've seen Hades and Herc's the son of a God and stuff. Can't really dispute that. But if they don't exist on your world and are just stories then... wouldn't they just be that? Stories?

I don't know if we can say that so easily, either. [After all, with her ties to them, with her friends' ties to them, they must be real, in some fashion or other. But the Silver Millenium certainly hadn't involved sitting on Mount Olympus. It'd be hard to pick out the lines of truth.]

There's no conclusive evidence.

...that's just weird.

I think we just need to adjust ourselves to becoming used to different worlds. Even if they have some commonalities, they're still different.
