Looking around, Zack wondered if Angeal had stuck him in a simulation and not told him. Because this wasn't his rooms in the Tower. Or anything else that he really knew of. Not the metal floors and walls of the SOLDIER floors, not the labs, not even the fancy lobby.

He had been heading for lunch, and this was not the door he had gone through, and he felt a bit...tingly. Weird. Kind of reminded him of when he had first started getting Mako shots.

"Angeal?" he called out carefully, hoping to see his teacher somewhere around here. Angeal had never dumped him in a simulation and left him before.

Making sure his sword was still on his back, and making sure the rest of his gear was all there, Zack sighed. "Okay, all my stuff is here, so not another prank by the guys." Muttering to himself, he started to poke around, a bit wary, because this was so not part of his regular day.

"Hello?"

Odd was putting it mildly. Illyana smirked at him and motioned toward the wall. "That's the plaque," she said, nodding at it. "Lays out the laws of the land. Kind of like the Ten Commandments, without Heston."

"Something like that," Illyana said when he asked if she too was in the military. "Technically I'm still in training, and so's my group, but we end up seeing a lot of action because there aren't a lot of us, and stuff goes down." She shrugged.

"It's hard to say how many of us there are right now," Illyana said, frowning. "There used to be more, now there are less. People disappeared overnight. It's happened before, but...." She shook her head. If the Planet had sent Andy home to die, she'd kill it. If the lizards had taken him into the desert, she'd find them and bind their souls to her for eternity, or eviscerate them if they didn't have souls. "The Planet's alive," she explained. "It steals us from our homes and plops us down to see what we'll do. If it gets bored of us, it sends us home, from what I can figure out. But it won't let you leave on your own. Believe me, I've tried." Her face darkened again, remembering the vain attempts to summon her Stepping Disks.

	"Sounds like us. There aren't a lot of SOLDIERs, and even if we're not in the war yet, we're being sent on missions and such to get our practice in." He listened as she talked, reading the plaque at the same time. "We have legends that the planet is alive, though nobody really believes them." Zack looked at her. "So...we're basically it's playthings?" (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

"Your planet's alive like this one?" she asked, raising an eyebrow. That was weird, even by her standards. Limbo was the weirdest place she'd ever been, and it wasn't alive - at least, not that she knew.

"Got it in one," she said when Zack figured out why they were all around. "It took me a few days to realize it myself. I was too upset to think rationally about anything when I first got here. It kidnapped me in the middle of...something important." She definitely did not want to think about that right now.

"Come on, let me show you where you're staying while you're here. That should clear up any doubts still hanging around in your head." She started for the door outside, glancing back to make sure Zack was following her.

"So the stories go. I don't know how true it is, but that's what they say."

Keeping track of where they were and processes what she was telling him. "I think if I thought this was real, I'd probably be more agitated. Still, I have to be a bit amazed that someone came up with this situation."

He noticed the buildings, just learning how everything was set up here.

"You still think this is some kind of trick?" Illyana said, turning to him as they walked. "How good is the tech on your world that you can walk around in a place like this and think it's fake? Or, do you think it's all a dream, and I'm some kind of manifestation of your subconscious?" That sounded like something Dr. MacTaggart would say, or the Professor.

"Seriously, though, if I were some kind of dream figure, wouldn't you have imagined me in a bikini or something?" She smirked at him, glancing down at her jeans and sleeveless shirt. "Don't guys imagine girls in bikinis? That's gotta be proof I'm not some sort of creation of your mind, right?" She jogged ahead of him to open the door to building E. "After you," she said.

	"Well, obviously, the training room has some sort of solid light tech. Otherwise I wouldn't end up with nearly as much tore up stuff." He grinned. "Though I wouldn't say no if you wanted to change into a bikini. That would be cool." Following, he looked around with a careless grin, but was really making a study of as much as he could see.
