HAVE A NICE FLIGHT
[The thing that jolts you awake is the sudden drop.
Maybe you gasp. Maybe you hold onto your seat as tightly as you can. Whatever you do, it doesn't help your stomach, or stop the overwhelming scent of flowers from tickling your nostrils. Nor does it unbuckle your seat belt, as you are strapped into a seat that is...well, it's comfortable, but not helpful when you don't know where you are.
You'll figure it out soon enough. You're inside a strange room of some kind, and opening the windows reveals nothing but clouds, lightning flashing across the sky...and a moon as red as blood. Its light seems to be much stronger than any light that comes from within the place you are now, which seem to flicker and lose power at the worst intervals.
Not only that, but you're not alone. There are 14 others with you, and only those 14. And--you have power. You don't know what it is, not yet. But instantly you know you have a power. It's just a matter of you figuring out that power, since the doo-hickey you find in your room doesn't help you figure it out.
And yes, you're flying. If you don't know what an airplane is, well. Welcome to the future, friend. It's looking to be a not-so-great one so far.]

[It's an honest suggestion, coming from a lanky blond who, if Zelos opens the door, he'll find just outside it - he happened to pass by at just the right instant to catch that last bit, and needed a wall to lean against for a moment anyway.]

I was actually going to go find a nice place to bang my head on, but...
[ He sighs. ] Look, if you're going to look for an autograph, can you come back later? I'm really not in the mood for any fans right now.

[Congratulations Zelos! You have one (1) confused Texan staring at you!]
Trust me, I got no more clues who you are than you do about me. Woke up here, haven't seen anyone I know, but it's not the first time something like this has happened... pretty sure it's all real. Sorry.

[ He flips his hair a little melodramatically. ]
I suppose my reputation doesn't exceed as far as I tend to think it does. The name Zelos Wilder doesn't ring any bells, does it?
[ He's willing to let this affront slide, on account of what Jonathan follows up with. ]
Not the first time? What do you mean by that?
no subject
[He pauses, with a tense, wan smile, and then keeps speaking - ]
And I can't say the name rings a bell, no. Don't suppose the name Jonathan Morris rings any for you?
no subject
[ It's kind of hard to tell whether he's serious or not. ]
Nope. Not a clue. You must be one of the sad saps from the declining world, then.

Man, I know things are going to get worse over the rest of the century, but you don't have to say it right out like that!
