Red, at his rather fast pace, was the first to arrive at the Big House. "It's even bigger up close..." The Caninu sniffed the air. Didn't seem like many people had been here recently. The door opened with a creak, and he stepped inside. The inside wasn't populated as well, as far as he could see. "Kinda weird to have a house this empty..."

Asuna smiled a bit, feeling a bit better. "Anime?" she asked, sounding a tad confused, before shaking her head. "Last I knew I was playing a VRMMO called Sword art online before I came here." she explained simply. But is it possible that I could have been in a... what did she call it? Anime?, she wonder to herself.

"What the- this thing's still alive? Is it stuck in the wall or somethin'?" Red reached up towards the jaguar head to feel it, but a warning glare from the disembodied cat stopped him. "Alright, alright..." he muttered, and looked around the room. It was kind of cozy-looking, and it seemed like a place for guests. Definitely a fancier home. Red noticed some stairs leading up to the next floor, and started climbing them. Partly to get away from the creepy cat head.

"Stands for Virutal reality massive multiplayer online," Asuna began, glancing around so as to be alert to danger. "Me and 10,000 players where online that day, but unfortunately the game's inventor, Akihiko Kayaba, turned it into a death game, and he had to beat the game, as we could no longer log out and our Nervegear helmets would fry out brains IRL if we died or suffered outside interference," She then glanced down at her outfit. "It's odd, though. I can tell this is my body, but I'm in my Knight's of the Blood Oath uniform, which is an in-game item.

Magnus said loud enough that Red could hear him, “Of course it’s still alive. Magical objects and beings are hard to kill or die. This jaguar head who probably has a name is a product of magic, so therefore it has lived through ages of not being fed.” He stroked the cat’s nose before investigating around the bottom floor. He found an abandoned Infirmary, a game room, and he found an office with filing cabinets. “Hey, Red! I found an office. Looks official and informative.”
~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~
Ashton looked confused. “That doesn’t sound fun. Why did you even play it? It sounds horrible… Then again, this is me speaking. I’ve seen my fair share of horrible sights.” She paused and whispered, “Cassiel.” The blade in her hand stopped glowing and shrunk down until it was just the handle. She then slid the handle into her pocket. “That’s not weird or anything?” She tilted her head slightly and crossed her arms, her black sleeves riding up on her arms, showing off more of her runes that shimmered when the light landed on the runes.

Loud thumping was heard as Red dashed back downstairs. After waving at the jaguar head, the Caninu stepped into the office. Whoever used this place had it well-organized... Red sneezed. Okay, it was a little dusty, too. "I guess nobody'll mind if we go through the files," he said, already having one hand on a drawer. Besides, this place probably had useful information.

Red opened up his own drawer and looked through it as well. One of the files stuck out to him. He opened it, only to see that it was something about a "captor." "So someone's keeping us here?" he muttered. The information in this particular file was minimal, almost as if this specific captor wasn't well-known. He set the file back in place and opened another one.

Asuna tipped her head. "Well we didn't know it was a death game until it's create announced, and by then it was too late." she explained. "Though only releasing ten thousand copies of the game at launch should have been a bit of a clue that something was off," she added thoughtfully. Gazing at her sword and runes, she shook her head. "No, that's not weird."

"Let's see... there's somethin' 'bout a Valentine, and there's a Camille here as well... I guess they're keepin' us here," Red replied, noticing how big the files were compared to the one he had looked at earlier. He looked over at Magnus, just now realizing the size of that file. "What's in that thing? A novel?" he asked, raising an eyebrow.

"Shadow world?" Asuna asked, curious. "What's that?" However she seemed to be calming down a lot now, though the suspicion she might be in some kind of prison still frightened her. However, panicking is not going to do us any good she told herself.

"I'm sure I can handle it," Asuna reassured with a smile, wanting to hear about the world where Ashton had came from. "Besides, it'd be good for us to go over what happened in our worlds, as it might help us some in this one," she added.

Asuna gave a nod before summarizing what Ashton said. "I think I've got it," she remarked. "So you're part angel, huh? That's cool. Interesting, but cool all the same." Well you learn something new every day she thought to herself.

Magnus froze and said, “ Valentine? Camille?” He rushed over and glanced at the files. He repeatedly said, “ No.” He stopped saying “ No”, and he slammed the files shut. “ Why out of all people? Valentine and Camille?” He ran a hand through his hair, grabbed it as he ran it through and pulled slightly. “ Why? What do they gain from this?” ~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~ Ashton shrugged off the question. " It's kind of complicated. Are you sure you want to hear about it?" She pulled her hair out of the ponytail it was in, and she redid it into a braid. The Shadowhunter had noticed that Asuna was calming down, and it made Ashton smile slightly. That was good. Ashton, herself, was unsure about this prison camp thing they were in. "Who are they, anyway?" Red asked, flipping through the files. Valentine's mentioned something about him being a "Shadowhunter." Magnus had mentioned that. Also, apparently he wasn't exactly the... nicest person, as a quick skim of one of the pages revealed. "I guess all of these captors are some kinda villians?"

Red opened his mouth to ask about the "ex-vampire-girlfriend" part, but soon thought the better of it. "What's in your files, by the way?" the Caninu asked, pointing at the files the warlock had been looking at. He was especially curious about that novel-length one tucked neatly away. Why had Magnus looked so shocked at it?

"So if there's info on you here because the captors know about you... is this some kinda Captor office?" Red asked. But why would Captors need files on themselves? In case they needed to look up each other? He sighed and shoved the drawer shut. "In any case, is there anythin' else useful in here?"

"They know about those, too? Must have done their homework," Red muttered. He flipped through a file he recognized: Shepherd Republic, floating islands, humans gone... all that was in here. Not like it did him much good. "I guess they found out somehow, but I dunno how we were forced here in the first place... somethin' like a portal?"

Red shrugged and began reading the file that was handed to him. Whatever they had used, they did bring them here in the end. As for Magnus's world, it was still confusing to him, but at least the pictures made things clearer. I wonder what Elh would think of this magic stuff. The Caninu smiled. Elh could probably explain it better than he ever could... or at least argue against it, since even he could see that the magic was different than his world's.

"I guess this is all we'll get outta this section," Red said, snapping the file closed and practically dropping it back in. Third place they looked, and they still had little idea what was going on. He sighed and waved a hand. "Onto the next one, I guess..."

Red looked over Magnus's shoulder, suddenly interested. "Monsters, huh? I've seen a few before, but who knows what kindsa things are in this place," he said, reaching over for his own file. It would normally not be too much of a problem for Red, but without the Dahak... well, he'd have to improvise for now if he encountered one.
