[u][i]Strange new world...[/i][/u]
Preida slowly, and painfully stood up off the rocky ground. The placement of her landing could have been better, but the will of Ausar is his own.
Her thoughts swirled in her head, confusion and fright subtly crept into her mind as she realized what had really just happened. She was thrown from her world to this one, whatever it was. The air was humid and cool to her, having spent so much time in Egypt, where there is more sand than anything else.
She walked forwards to the gates and the wall around them, running her hand down its surface. This place was truly strange, she thought, but then she remembered that these people may find her strange, alien.
Remembered?
No, how could she have known? Was it Ausar, or a distant memory? It was a mystery. She suddenly felt different, she couldn't quite place what it was, until she looked down at herself.
Her body was clad no longer in her Egyptian clothes, but a spotless, snug yellow striped black hoodie that fit her perfectly. The rest of her body was covered in tight black shorts and black sneakers with long yellow socks. She now carried a yellow backpack with her as well, and she already knew what it had inside it.
She felt fear no longer, and knocked on the door softly, very patiently awaiting an answer from a stranger, from an unknown world.

[b]Rook was sitting on the wall when he heard the knock, he quickly gets up.[/b] "Hang on, I'll open up the gates." [b]The gates open up.[/b] "Welcome."
-
"Uh, thank you." Preida says, quickly walking through into the city.
-
"No problem." [b]Rook starts closing the gates.[/b]
-
She sighed in relief once she had gotten a good distance away from him. The less she could avoid now, the better.
-
[b]The massive gates creak open, and a man clad in NCR Ranger armor (Forget you ASAP!) stood before her. [/b] "Hello there bumblebee."
-
"Oh, uhh....hello." She said shyly. Preida was also a little curious, not knowing what a bumblebee actually was. Back in Egypt, there were almost none.
-
"I'm Watcher. You are now Bumblebee. Welcome to the Dojo!"
-
"Why am I Bumblebee...?" Preida asked, even more confused than before.
-
"Because you're black and yellow obviously!"
-
"Oh right." She says, still obviously confused.
-
"Is something the matter?"
-
"No..I just find it a little strange is all." She says, giving a cute awkward smile.
-
"I find it strange that you are dressed in only black and yellow. But it's your style." [b]He smiles beneath his helmet [/b]
-
"Let's just say it wasn't my first choice."
-
"So have you come to join?"
-
"...Join?" With even more confusion, she asked. All this was weird and new to her, Egypt was much different than this.
-
"Well that's why most people come to the Dojo, yeah."
-
"Well...sure...I guess..." She was nervous now, stuck in a situation where she didn't know what to do.
-
"Or did you not come here to join...?"
-
"That is quite a nice headdress you have there. Very... Egyptian." [b]Fortis walks up, inspecting the headdress.[/b]
-
She became nervous, noticing that it was literally the only part of her Egyptian clothes that was still on. She quickly took it off and it suddenly disappeared into her backpack. "...umm...t-thank you?" She said, her slight feeling of fear creeping into her voice.
-
"What is wrong? Never seen a Mechonus before?" [b]Fortis said, backing away as not to startle her.[/b]
-
In an attempt to not reveal her real identity, one that had a good chance of failing, she said this little sentence. "Oh, of course, I just was not expecting anyone to come so quickly..." Her voice still held nervousness, as she could not feel Ausar trying to help her, which sucked for her. Perhaps it was a test?
-
"Hey, at least it wasn't Audax. He would probably demand that you empty your backpack to make sure there are no bombs in it. And Destanius would probably try and convince you to do one of his insane experiments."
-
"Oh...that doesn't sound nice..." She began to feel even more unsure about this place and its people. So far, they seemed quite strange and slightly frightening, at least to Preida.
