Month 2: Enter the Meme King
In a secluded, shadowy, disused location, the select few of a newly formed organization come to meet.... What dark and--
"Oh for gods sake, do you have to narrate every damned time?"
"Look, I'm trying to build the atmosphere here! How are we to be proper about this if we don't even go that far?"
"Who cares about being proper!" a third figure, noticeably smaller than the first interrupted. "I wanna know who's gonna be fighting this week!"
"Ug, seriously? We don't even have everyone here yet!"
"So???"
"He does have a point, you know..."
"Oh, don't you start too."
"Hey, I'm just saying..."
"Fight! Fight! Fight!"
"All right, all right! Eesh! Make your report already!"
There was the distinct sound of glasses being adjusted, a glint of light reflecting in the darkened room. "Currently over 25 individuals of note have been recorded. Not all of them are of significance, however, as a few... supporting individuals seem to have been connected as well. Of these, the Rider franchise seems to be the most represented, with Ultraman coming in second. More research is needed to determine how to create connections in a more targeted way before phase two of our operation can begin."
"And I can fight them!!" the younger voice piped in excitedly.
A deep sigh from the glassed figure answered. "After they fight each other first," he corrected. "We've been over this..."
"Ha! You just think they need to be softened up first, don't you?! Don't you believe in my power??!"
"... don't make me answer that."
"Hey!!"
"And that's enough of that, I'd think... Fade to black, everybody!"
"...drama queen."
Any Displaced individual prone to visions, premonitions or other plot sensing type skills may have had a variation on the above scene in a dream, vision or just felt like someone was watching them. Even those without a plot speaking skill may start getting a strange feeling of being watched when they're out in public....
Not that it will be foremost on their mind very long, as suddenly, every single TV screen or similar nearby flashes white, before a short clip begins to play:

That...is very weird. Somehow, in the infinite universes converging, it had never entered the realm of possibility that he might have a double while Ankh might.
"Sorry. For confusing you, I mean."
no subject
"Be quiet, Jin." He muttered under his breath, forcing a half-step back.
no subject
But then Rei stopped himself, stepped back, and started whispering something. And Eiji was sure he'd heard the name Jin.
"...Are you okay?"
no subject
"There are a few of us that share this body."
no subject
"Is it like...a shared body, or a shared mind, more?"
It sounds so stupid when he says it, but how is he supposed to ask "are you possessed by someone else too?"
no subject
"Both, I suppose. It's a little hard to explain."
no subject
"Try me.
no subject
"There are five of us. Different personalities, ages, sexes, backgrounds. We think I'm the original one, but I don't really know where the others came from or why. They don't know, either."
no subject
"So you really don't remember how it happened?"
He hopes the "you" carries across as meaning all of them, not just Rei.
no subject
"We've tried to find clues, when we can, but there aren't many."
no subject
no subject
He shakes his head. "But I doubt it matters much here, unless it's the same people who brought us all to this place." Which he can't rule out at all, but it's not a conclusion he's going to jump to.
no subject
Unlike his counterpart from Rei's world, he's not in the habit of bringing writing material with him. Not unless he's checking out a dig site, anyway. But he does have a phone, and he opens up an app.
"Do you know what they're called? Or anything about them?"
no subject
"All I know-" He stops abruptly and is replaced by the gruffer voice.
"Oi! Don't think we'll trust you just because you look like Tomoki."
no subject
no subject
"You first, then. What information have you got?"
no subject
"There's this organization in my world. Foundation X. Terrorism, human trafficking, arms deals...it's a lot. The last thing they did before we defeated the latest cell was create a device that would merge worlds together. So...maybe it's them, but we destroyed that device."
He shakes his head. "I know, it sounds like it would probably be them. But they go underground for years between defeats. This is the first major problem they've caused in about seven years."
no subject
"That sort of a device would do quite a lot to explain this place. How did it work? Is it possible any part of it survived?"
no subject
It's still a little off-putting how fluidly they manage to switch, but he tries to keep up, answering, "I don't know. It was developed by the same person across two worlds. And another scientist named Takumi Katsuragi. But I saw it explode in the sky, so..."
So it was unlikely. Especially with the way Riders exploded things.
no subject
"So it's unlikely there's any part of it in working order," he concludes. "But that doesn't mean there weren't plans or blueprints someone could have found. It would be worth keeping in mind."
no subject
no subject
"As for our information, I'm afraid it's unlikely to be of use. All we know is that there is something called Piece that can be implanted into people's bodies. Despite having studied what I can of it, I have very limited information on how it works, and none about who created it or why."
no subject
"What does it do when it's implanted?"
no subject
no subject
Eiji frowns. This sounds way too much like the kind of thing he'd seen from Foundation X already.
"You don't have any names of people connected to this organization, would you?"
