To say Ieyasu is dazed would be an understatement.

It must be a dream, he thinks, as he starts to register his surroundings. It looks to be a carriage of some sort, a contraption he'd not even witnessed in the hands of the Saika. Before he can try to begin making sense of things, this dream, vivid as it is, ushers him off and away into even stranger territory.

A building. A grand one, at that; the architecture is astounding, Ieyasu thinks. It's unlike any place Ieyasu has ever seen, and his senses flooding back to him don't do a lot in the way of helping him rationalize it. The air and smells and sounds of this place are unfamiliar, but they are almost certainly genuine. Perhaps he had been wrong, this could be...

...No, he tells himself, it won't do him any good to panic-- so he stands in that very spot and scans the immediate grounds in search of a familiar face; Tadakatsu, one of his soldiers, anyone. And that's when it occurs to Ieyasu that he's not entirely sure what he's looking for: his mind is decidedly blank at the notion of Tadakatsu's face.

He's awake, but far from understanding.

It's good to meet you, as well. [ He pauses for a moment. ] The 'train'...is that what transported me here? I can't say I've heard of these before, not where I am from.

[themerryway]

That's right! It's what brought you here.

... You don't have trains, where you're from? Really? [ she says it with a bit of awe, curiosity, rather than anything else ]

[drivesahonda]

[ He shakes his head. ] Not to my knowledge, no.

Say, you called this place 'Utopia Academy'...What is it, exactly, that you do here? Why was I brought here?

[themerryway]

Ah, I'm sorry... You must be shaken up. [ How insensitive of her-- she remembers how confused she was upon arrival and smiles a bit sheepishly at him. ]

It's a school. I don't think any of us really know why we're here, but it seems like we've been gathered to play a game. It's... a complex game with a lot of rules and guidelines. There's a video in the main lobby that you can watch to get the gist of things.

[drivesahonda]

[ He takes a moment to let that sink in, appreciative of her kindness. But there's just one thing... ]

A 'video'?

[themerryway]

Ah, yes. A video. [ She has no idea that he has... no idea. ]
