... ... ... ... ...
We open up on what appears to be one of the strangest train stations one could ever see. It was a HUGE building with many different sources of travel; from portals to rifts to interdimensional Ghost Trains, this place had it all. Among the several travel sources, some of the strangest characters of various shapes, sizes, ethnicities, and species could be seen, either going about their daily business, or trying to catch a ride someplace.
The place was busy to say the least...
As we further examine this great station, their is a sudden whistle. Some of the characters around the station turned to take notice, while some just ignored it, knowing it was normal activity.
A ghost train was pulling into the station.
Said train rocketed past, as most ghost trains do. Though one could tell that the trains break system was put into overdrive to pull to a stop. As train cars rocketed past, every and all people in the station had to hang on to any loose items for fear of loosing them to the wind that the train kicked up (Some with surprise, others with annoyance). Finally, after what felt like an hour, though it was really a minute or two, the train pulled to a stop, a train car door faced to the open station.
The door opened... Allowing the sole passenger of the train to depart.
"Hmmm..." Said passenger mumbled, turning to a nearby brochure stand. His purple jacket, unzipped while he was inside the train, billowed like a cape as he walked over, and took one. He took one long look at the brochure...
"Void City, huh?" Otto Shinryu muttered as he put away the brohure. "Not exactly a fitting name."
With little more then a second look, he casually walked toward the exit, zipping up his jacket to cover the sleeveless dark blue shirt underneath. "I think it's about time I got a better look at this city."

"Information Booth this way!!!" called out the oddity that was Crash Bandicoot, wearing a neat little tie, vest, and name tag. "Get your maps and other Void City information and free tacos here!!"
He paused, staring at the said free taco on the table beside him. MAN, was it tempting.
"...while supplies last," he said aside, giggling as he downed the taco in one gynormous bite.

Otto was barely out the door when he heard that. "Heh... Well that was convenient." Doing a full 180, he walked towards the information booth.
Crash continued to munch on his taco, before he noticed a strange and dark youth approaching. "Oh, hey there!" He chuckled slightly. Something about this kid felt... Different...
'PBFFFF!'
Oh, never mind.
(Beans, beans their good for your heart, the more you eat the more you [PBFFF!]! Okay seriously, I don't know if Crash would do that, I just figured it would be a good way to introduce him to Otto. So sorry if that's out of character.)
He smiled slightly as the boy leaned on the desk... Before taking a whiff of some foul aroma and waving his hands back and forth in front of his nose. "Phew! Sheesh! Did something crawl on ya, and die?! That's foul."

(oooooh... um, as funny as the post was, XD rules state that you cannot control characters other people use. I'll let this slide since you're new, but keep in mind that you can only control your own characters. Try again. If you post him approaching the booth, I'll have Crash do the same exact thing ^^)

Otto was barely three feet from the exit when he heard that. "Well... That's convenient..." Doing a full 180, he turned and walked casually to the information booth.
As he did, he gathered his thoughts, 'Remember,' He thought, 'Just ask for the local pub and walk off. No need to start a panic.'
(To Nintendo-Nut, forgive me, I just thought that if the character was in the same RP, it would be safely in bounds for me to write. Of course I would've stopped writting him after I join or open a new RP, but forgive me I didn't know.)

(no prob. It's your first time. All the rules of this site are stated in the Rules board)
Crash continued to munch on his taco, before he noticed a strange and dark youth approaching. "Oh, HI there!" He chuckled slightly. Something about this kid felt... Different...
'PBFFFF!'
Oh, never mind. That was just his bodily functions. False alarm.

Otto had barely started to lean on the desk of the stand before the smell reached his heightened senses. 'sniff sniff'
"AW, ULTIMA- DAW MAN!!!!" Otto immediately pinched his nose and started to fan the nausous fumes away. "Did somethin' crawl on ya, and DIE?! Gah, man that's foul."

Crash could only grin. "Nope. I just farted. Sorry about that!" He didn't notice his eyebrows sizzling slightly from the overwhelming stench. "What can I do for you?"

... A questionable stare was the only response to his comment.
After a moment, Otto, taking out a clothespin he had gotten back home, used it close up his nose. "Okay..." He cleared his throat before continuing. "Actually, I'm looking for information. And I don't mean anything up front." He waved his hand in emphasis. "You know back street stuff. That's why I'm looking for a local pub. Know where one is?"

"A pub?" Crash considered this, placing a pudgy finger on his chin. "Wellllll... the Food Court at the El Grande mall sells beer, if that's what you're looking for... also, there's the Tiny Dragon in Bonsai Village, just east of here!!"

Otto considered this. "huh... Sounds like the Tiny Dragon is my better bet." Otto turned his back to Crash, seeming to come to a decision...
After a second, he turned back to Crash. "Before I head off..." He placed a hand on the desk. "I figure asking you will be no harm." He gave the bandicoot a small glare. "Listen, where I come from, I'm sort of a peace keeper, you know, authority figure." He waved off a stare. "I know, I know, I'm young. But's that beyond the point."
He looked around a second, as if searching for eavesdroppers. "I'm looking for info... Maybe something concerning gems? Or even insects of a kind?"
[The answer as to how he knows about that will be answered soon.]

"You mean the Dark Insects and the Nest Jewels? " Crash replied awfully loudly. "Consult the library in El Grande Mall for more information!"

Otto shushed the bandicoot before more could be yelled out. "So you even know about it?" Crash didn't even need to reply. "People are aware of this threat already..? Interesting. One would think there'd be a panic." At least, that's what Otto gathered. Thinking a moment, he took one of the brochures from Crash's stand, and took a quick look inside. A map could be seen on the brochure. "This'll be helpful."
Having said that, he turned around and gave Crash a wave. "Hey, thanks for the info. Least it'll save me the trouble of walking into some seedy place somewhere."
Otto looked at the map closer, before pocketing it, and started walking off. "If this threat's already apparent, I better work fast... For this, and my worlds sake." He muttered to himself to quietly for anyone to hear, hurrying off.

... And hurrying caused him to run straight into Latanya, who had dissapeared after the murder of Ruby. The Saiyan woman felt him bump into her and looked at him. Her eyes were bloodshot, signifying she hadn't had any sleep; being a jewel holder send all sorts of weirdos and freaks after you after all. "Hey! Watch it jackass!" A lack of sleep also made the Saiyan a complete jerk as well, another unfortunate side effect. However, if Otto could catch the purple gleam coming from her pocket, he might've seen she was a jewel holder.

Otto was too distracted with the fact that he had ran someone over to notice it. "Oh!" He bowed two or three times in apology. "A thousand pardons. I was in a bit of a hurry."
However, it was at that point that he noticed the woman's bloodshot eyes. No matter how tough Otto was, he recoiled at the sight of it. This girl must've been plenty intimidating, but the bloodshot eyes KINDA overdid the image. "Holy Yin!" He gave the girl a questionable stare. "Ever heard of a nap? Maybe even sleeping pellets?"
[Yeah, I know, he's gonna be in trouble. XD He just doesn't know who he's dealing with is all. However, it does give him reason to stay in the ITS longer. And to Nintendo-Nut, I just figured I'd go ahead and post this up. At least it'll go into what happens next.]
