Dear AF, Acmlm Board Building, 14th floor. About a quarter to three... The large room that takes up the majority of the floor had been rearranged, now containing several rows of chairs all facing one wall, where a couple of tables and a projector were placed. Suddenly, four columns of blue light appeared in one corner of the room, and from them JDavis, Guts, Fem, and Jack materialized. Guts: Doesn't look like anyone else is here yet... |

| Or so Guts thought ... At that moment, a furry, little teddy bear burst out of the drawers of an oak desk (originally a centerpiece of the room, but had been relocated for the lecture), sending papers flying everywhere. He began snatching them out of the air one by one and collecting them in his arms.
Teddylot: AHA! I knew the answers to next week's tests were in here somewhere. Teddylot suddenly felt a tingle in the back of his neck. He quickly scanned the room until he noticed the strangers that weren't there when he first dove into the desk. Teddylot: GAH!!! ... oh, it's just you ...   You didn't see anything ... 'kay?
Teddylot slid right back into the desk drawer with the papers still in his hand, closed it behind him, and then nothing. |

| Loud music begins blaring through the room on unseen speakers -- Orange Range's Shanghai Honey.
The twin double doors of the main elevator slide open, and three men leapt into view. The first, a man with frizzy brown hair and large, shimmering glasses, had his hand outstretched, palm facing outward. The second and third, the former a man with spiked red hair, the second a man with a black goatee and a hat dropped low over his eyes, were standing beside him with their arms crossed. All three are wearing variants of the classic Japanese boy's school uniform, the back of their blue button-up coats modified to drop to around their feet, resembling a trenchcoat's tail. MEL, SMITHY, AND BOOSTER: OSU! Cut back to the other five, who all stand stunned at this sudden appearance. MEL, SMITHY, AND BOOSTER: OSU! Cuts back to Gutsman, who suddenly has a fist pumped and his eyes aflame, quivering with energy. MEL: Iku ze! San, ni, ichi, SHUUREN! Smithy and Booster immediately begin dancing, as a black microphone drops into Mel's hand. MEL: SHAAAAANGAI HAAAANI-to, hamabe shakou dance! Mitsumebanashi, tamannee megami! Smithy suddenly grabs him by the arm and starts shaking him. SMITHY: Mel. Mel. MEL! MEL: Whaaaat? D: Smithy points to the roomful of people. MEL: Oh, shi- --- Elsewhere -- a cute, brown-haired secretary wearing a red vest over a white blouse with a blue bow at the collar lies buried under a pile of papers. Various office supplies litter the floor around her, and a cup of spilled coffee sits next to her head. Her glasses are askew, and several cowlicks point off in various directions. She slowly raises her arm, reaching to the sky vainly-- SECRETARY: Ou... Ouen... dan... @.@ --before her body goes completely limp. |

| "Are you sure?"
"Yes, hon." "Absolutely?" "Of course. I don't always gotta make a spiffy entrance." "Wait, just let me see your backpack." "Well, okay..." All of a sudden, a smoke bomb exploded in the center of the room. As the smoke slowly filtered out, two figures began to take form. One was wearing an open blue jacket with a white tank top underneath, a yellow backpack, a blue cap, and baggy jeans. The other was wearing a dark blue short sleeved shirt and dark green cargos. The latter was holding a hand infront of her face, forming a specific hand form, while the other was holding onto the other figure. Rushuna: I hope we're not late ^_~ Kirby: She insisted on an entrance (edited by Kirbynite on 08-28-06 11:14 PM) |

| Grey: "Not on time, but not as late as Grey, of course..."
He paused in reflection as he entered plainly through the doorway to the conference room. With all these flashy entrances, the team would need some mundanity to level off their flash. Grey was dressed simply enough: His usual attire, vest and pants. His boots clacked against the floor paneling as he, amidst complete silence (voluntary or no: He had used his psychic abilities to trigger a sense of selective hearing in everyone's brain), stepped slowly, his footfalls echoing throughout the hall. His eyes were closed: His second sight guided him easily towards the row of chairs, where he sat down calmly. Continuing his auditory manipulation, he got straight down to business and broke the silence. Literally. The sudden restoration of everyone's hearing took the form of an onrushing train of sound, which passed quickly and left Grey able to use the trademark RPG character ability to be heard over a commotion. "So, what's this all about?" |

| Kirby: Not a clue.
Kirby walked over to a nearby window, and opened it up. The remains from the smoke bomb was quickly aired out. Kirby turned his head and quirked a brow at the half drow with the bright red hair. Rushuna responded with a nervous smile. Kirby: But if it turns out to be a lame thing, I'm treating everyone to that nearby carnival. You know.. the one with that Salt Ice Cream stuff. Rushuna: It sounds yucky. Kirby: But everyone likes it, though (edited by Kirbynite on 08-30-06 02:11 AM) |

| Grey: "I can't see how they can... I've had seawater before. It tastes terrible!"
He imagined someone freezing seawater (which was tough to do anyway: all that salt caused the freezing point of the liquid to fall, which meant it had to be kept colder) and adding in a boatload of sugar to it. "No amount of sugar or delicious blueberry flavoring could make that stuff good." |

| ???: *ahem*
A somewhat short man in a white lab coat entered the room from the door nearest to the tables which everyone's chairs were facing. He had a white mustache and white hair which went around his head, but not on the very top of it, which was bald. In his arms was a thick stack of papers. Gyromite: Sorry that I'm a little late... Following the Professor was his robotic creation, ROB, now sporting a set of tank-like treads which made him look rather like Johnny Five. While Professor Gyromite walked over to behind the tables and set down the stack of papers, ROB moved more toward the back of the room, behind the unnecessarily large number of chairs. Gyromite opened his mouth to start talking, but the projector sitting on the table in front of him caught his eye. Gyromite: *sigh* I told them I didn't need that. *shakes his head* Oh, well. Gyromite turned his attention back to the small audience and cleared his throat again. Gyromite: Before I get into the meat of the discussion, let's cover the basics. ROB, if you will... The lights suddenly dimmed, and ROB's right eye lit up, projecting an image onto the wall behind Professor Gyromite. Gyromite: This is the Star Door which I initially discovered on Popstar. The image was a photograph, apparently taken in some sort of cave, of what appeared to be a monolith of some sort, shaped like a rectangle exactly twice as tall as it was wide, with half of a circle whose diameter was also the width of the rectangle stuck on top. Covering its face were numerous geometrical shapes with symbols carved into them. The shape in the very center was a large five-point star. In the center of it was carved a tilted five-point star with rounded corners, and two sets of planetary rings around it at different angles. ROB's left eye lit up, projecting a second image next to the first. This photograph appeared to be taken in a very ancient, very dilapidated temple or shrine of some sort. The same gray, door-like rock was the focus of the photograph, but this one had a different symbol carved into its star. It was a circle with a smaller crescent to the right of, and slightly above, it. Gyromite: This is the Star Door which we later found on Earth. The first photo resized down, so that the Star Door in it was roughly two-ninths the size of the one in the second photo. Gyromite: And this is their actual relative size. Both images disappeared, and were replaced with one of a stone tablet with a series of symbols carved into it. Gyromite: This tablet which was found on Popstar, partly thanks to the digging of the ground-type pokemon which had come to live there, contains two series of symbols matching the ones on the doors. Pressing this first series, followed by the center star, on the Popstar Star Door connects to the one on Earth, allowing one to travel there. The second set, followed by the center star, entered on the Earth Star Door connects to the one on Popstar. Entering the first set of symbols on the Earth Star Door or entering the second set on the Popstar Star Door does nothing. Also, the connection is one-way. The photo of the stone tablet disappeared, and the photos of the two Star Doors reappeared, still shown at their actual relative scale. Gyromite: When something or someone travels from one Star Door to the other, they are automatically resized relative to the size of the door. An image of Kirbynite was imposed on both photos, along with a line measuring his height. Eight inches in the Popstar photo; three feet in the Earth one. Then, both photos disappeared again, and the lights turned back on. Gyromite: Who created the Star Doors, and for what purpose, remained a mystery. Searching through every piece of historical and archeological data on Popstar revealed only an old, nearly forgotten legend that the human occupants of Popstar originally traveled there from a very different land, through a door of stone. A similar search here on Earth turned up nothing... until now. |

| Kirby: ... I knew I should've had Gooey come instead... I've already got two questions: First, are we going to get a copy of the notes? I know some people back home would like to hear about this.. and two.. Does this have anything to do with us aside from the fact that we indirectly aided in this research?
Rushuna: Kirby... Kirby: Sorry, sorry.. I'm just kinda anxious about that.. er.. Sea-Salt Ice Cream... thing... Rushuna kept quiet. She was pretty anxious too... (edited by Kirbynite on 08-30-06 08:29 PM) |

| Grey: "Well, I'd like to think it has something to do with you guys... Not me, but still."
A thought bubble-like cloud appeared above Grey's head, which he allowed his considerations to enter into. They appeared in stick figure form, of course. The first few images were of a group of people passing through the star doors and growing and shrinking in size relative to their world... "The professor's told us that we're able to change size relative to the world we go to if we're passing through a Star Door, right?" The image changed as soon as he finished his sentence, switching instead to a monstrously large stick figure stomping on a bunch of smaller stick figures, the result of a drastic difference in physical size between the two worlds. "Well, what if this happened? Someone went to Popstar and didn't use the Star Door to get there? They'd be a giant, or some kind of unstoppable, city-stomping monster!" The image changed again, this time to a very small stick figure dodging between a great crowd of giants, another size relation error... "And what if the reverse happened? Then we'd have miniature versions of people having to dodge between the legs of the natives of a larger world! Or worse..." The image changed a final time, this time to a stick figure driving a rocket over to Popstar, passing through the Star Door, getting larger, and repeating the process until it was a gargantuan stick figure with a very large, very angry face on its very large head. "What if someone looped the growth mechanic to become large, and IN CHARGE!? It'd be terrible!" The thought bubble disappeared, and Grey cast his gaze over a crowd of blank stares. He blushed. "Er, you know... Just sayin'." |

| Kirby: I'm no science genius, but I can tell you that they won't fit. Either that, or your molecules won't be able to handle it....
If Grey was trying to imagine this, he would've seen the stick figure's body stuck at the door while the head was on Earth. Kirby: And the chances of arriving at PopStar and still be large are very slim. I don't bother trying to understand it, so I don't know the details. Somewhere on arriving at Popstar's area of the Milky Way, you'd get resized. The pokemon that arrived on Popstar without resizing were just lucky. Heck, their entire flight was lucky. They should've tried playing the lottery. Meanwhile, Rushuna was picturing a pikachu jumping around with a bunch of cash in its paws... |

| Mel sat with both his feet propped up onto the chair in front of him. His head drooped down onto his chest, drool dribbling onto his shirt. Booster was stroking his beard thoughtfully. Smithy was tilting his head in small increments, almost going completely sideways.
SMITHY: We're not going to be tested on this, are we? <_> |

| Troy lied limply on the sand, one arm held high into the air. In it was clutched a bright blue popsicle. He slowly held it out to the side, letting it drip away from him. A robed man 'stood' from a holograph device sitting half-buried in the ground a short distance away.
Troy : This stuff tastes kinda stale. Almost... salty. Auron : I once knew a boy that was addicted to it. Troy took a big bite out of the half-melted ice cream and shook his head. Flicking his wrist, he sent it flying into a wastebin nearby. Millions of lightyears away, Auron watched distastefully. He saw Troy himself as a hologram, hovering above a table in a brightly-lit room somewhere in space-time. Troy could stare back into Auron's image and thus see that chamber. Auron : I'm sure you'd like to meet with your friends again, but remember this isn't your real objective here... I'm sure you've heard of them gathering to discuss the history and development behind a portal device leading to Keerbin... Troy : Kirb. Auron : ...his world, involving ancient technologies that up until now haven't been explained, but a researcher currently living in this world has come upon a new discovery. I would just like the gist of what these gates are comprised of and what they're currently used for. Space-time security. I'm sure you understand. You are to go to the Acemle... Troy : Acmlm. Auron : ...whatever. Just visit this conference or whatever they have planned and learn more. Obviously there should be no combat involved, so you should be able to... Troy zoned out for a moment, staring off into space as Auron continued talking. Troy : Hey. Auron : Yes? Troy : I'd like the Summoner's assistance. Auron : ...well... it's your call. I'll contact him and send him to your position. Troy: 'ight. I'll be getting there pronto. |

| Rushuna tilted her head when she looked at Smithy.
Rushuna: Are you.. not a robot? Kirby: Reploids, 'Yuna. Basically like humans, meaning they get to enjoy the feeling of failing a test. Kirby's smile faded away when he quickly pulled out a piece of paper and a pen. Rushuna leaned closer to Kirby to see what he was writing. A sweatdrop rolled down the back of her head when she realized Kirby was writing what Gyromite had recently showed them all. |

| Gyromite: No, you will not be tested on it, but I do have copies of the information, *nods at the stack of papers* which you are free to pick up. The reason I've called you here is my recent discovery...
The Professor cleared his throat again, before speaking in a slightly over-dramatic voice. Gyromite: I have discovered numerous references in ancient documents to an enthusiastic kingdom which, long ago, studied "the door to the stars" in great detail, "unlocking all of its secrets." Unfortunately, the kingdom's research was lost at some point. Atomic dating and study of the various artifacts in the temple where we found the Star Door on Earth seems to confirm this. Jack: ... And? Gyromite: And I want you to go back in time and retrieve the research before it is lost. JDavis: You must be joking. |

| Teddylot popped out of the same desk, different drawer, that he was in before everyone else had come in. He wore a lot of surprise and disappointement on his face ... like makeup, but not really.
Teddylot: What do you mean there's no test? All the talk of Wonderland-esque resizing doors and theoretically and physically improbable mumbo-jumbo was momentarilly interrupted as two boys, one with headphones, glasses, and messy hair; the other with dreadlocks stepped into the room as inconspicuously as possible. Both had some Sea-Salt Ice Cream in their hands. Zap and Twister, respectively, navigated their way through the lecture-styled seating to find an empty corner of unused seats. Twister took a seat, while Zap continued down to the front of the class to grab a couple of copies of the lecture notes. He returned to where Twister had sat down and handed him a copy before making himself comfortable. Zap began flipping through the several pages of notes reading them intently, while Twister fluffed them up nicely to get some pillow-tastic use out of them. Teddylot: aHA! Teddylot blew their cover. Teddylot: Those two are LATE! ... Double Detention them! |

| Kirby would've greeted Zap and Twister, but he was a bit busy standing up from his chair and balling up his hands.
Kirby: Of course it's excessively dangerous! Excuse my outburst, Professor, but don't you think you're letting your curiosity for science get in the way of sanity? I mean... I know traveling in the past alone won't do anything... and perhaps interacting with people may not be dangerous, but there's still chances for minor details being changed. A puppy may no longer have his chew toy. |

| Kirby: I was trying not to sound drastic, Grey. Time has its own agenda, and it'll continue flowing the way it's going to, despite any minor changes. But if you give time enough of a push, it will get side tracked. I know about this first hand.
Kirby slowly sat down and tried to calm down. Kirby: Of course, there's that whole thing about millions of timelines being branched off at every moment, but I'm talking about a "main" timeline... the place where time and dimension hoppers will be drawn to if they don't use very precise traveling methods.. the place that will greatly affect the other branches. |
