Who: Victor Nikiforov and OPEN
Broadcast: Fleetwide
Action: The Heron for the broadcast / The Iskaulit for action.
When: Sometime

[It's glitch time for Victor!

The boy who appears on screen appears to be around sixteen or seventeen. He has very long hair and bright blue eyes. He's wearing Victor's clothes, but they are too large for him. Makkachin is with him and the poodle licks his face a couple of times as he starts the broadcast. He laughs a gently, and chides her playfully in Russian before turning to the screen.]

Sorry, my dog seemed happy to see me when I woke up, which is nice because I don't recognize anything else around. I usually wouldn't complain about seeing new sights, but I'm certain my coach would be furious if I was late to practice again.

If I'm right, there really isn't any way back home though, is there?

[If you thought that adult Victor was good at hiding his true thoughts and feelings, it's even worse with a young Victor who hasn't come into his own just yet. He seems pleasant and cheerful, even while simultaneously freaking out over finding himself in such an unusual situation. After a moment, he allows himself a small frown.]

How long have I been here?


-----------------------------------------


[Several hours later, after he has had people tell him that they already know him as an adult, Victor finds the ice rink on the Iskaulit. Emotions are difficult, ice skating is the best way he knows how to deal with them.

That's healthy, isn't it?]

I am afraid there does not appear to be a way home presently. Though I can assure you there are many here to offer a community until we can find a way to return you.

[It just seems right to offer comfort of some kind and this is the best he can offer while being honest.]

[goldkiss]

That's what I was worried about...

Well, at least Makkachin is here. Even if my coach gets angry, I still have a dog.

[dandyofawolf]

A very handsome dog to be sure. I'm glad you have your companion at least.

[goldkiss]

Thank you.

[In the background Makkachin barks softly, almost as if she knows she's being talked about.]

She seems... different than she was back home, though. Older.

[dandyofawolf]

Older?

[That's not quite what he expected to hear.]

[Well, this is deeply concerning. Atroma, why do you have to be this way? He hesitates for a moment, trying to find the best way to tackle this. When he decides, he offers a smile. ]

Everyone goes back eventually, we just don't know when. It's just a case of waiting.

...Are you feeling alright? Do you need anything?

[goldkiss]

Better clothes? All of the clothes here are too big.

[He smiles, trying not to pressure anyone into giving him a handout.] They are nice though. The person who chose them has rather good taste.

[chicandsporting]

Looks like you were fortunate with some borrowed clothes.

[He absolutely doesn't remember anything. Damn. ]

I'm sure if you asked around, someone here would be able to borrow you something. If not, they might be a jumpsuit in your closet.

[He's not sure if the size would change with the difference in Victor's size, but he can hope that Atroma can offer that much, at least- hideous as the things were. ]

I'm Lumière.

[goldkiss]

[Victor gets up to go check as he continues to talk to Lumiere.]

It's a pleasure to meet you Lumiere.

Do you mind if I ask? Are you French?

[chicandsporting]

Very clever observation, mon ami. I am, indeed, French.

[ Alisha's never met this person before, but she's heard about the sudden changes in the network. With as often as its been happening, could that be the case here...? Though, there's a chance that he did just arrive here, too... Either way, Alisha does want to help. ]

There's a chance that you've only just woken up here. How are you feeling?

[goldkiss]

Hungry. [He says it with a smile, meaning he might not be being entirely serious.]

[aspearing]

[ He might not be being serious but there's worse things... Still, Alisha does take what he says seriously. ]

I see. Do you have someone to help you to the kitchen? Or, shall I join you and show you where it is?

[goldkiss]

If you could help me I would be grateful.

[aspearing]

Then, if you'll give me a moment - I'll be right there.

omg I am so late.

<sub>[Yuri is slow to hear this, he was in a deep conversation with a personification of DEATH and... well when he thinks of his poor dog Victor he has feelings that require a nap to get out from under. But when he wakes up... well he hasn't seen his human Victor in a while. He is pretty sure he knows where to find him. The same place he is itching to go himself.

In the rink, Victor is already skating but Yuri has to get on the ice before he really pays attention. It's Victor... but it's... the hair. The height difference, the tiny frame. Oh dear he's going back in time, the videos he watched religiously, the shows he tried to replicate in practice, that smile that changed his whole life. Victor.]</sub>

Victor? _{[He skates over to him, circling around him trying to get his attention without breaking his concentration and getting him to fall. Ice skating injuries are no joke.]}

Victor are you alright?

[goldkiss]

I'm confused but okay. [He offers this beautiful person a reassuring smile]

You know me? Do you follow figure skating?

[pork_bowl]

Follow it? I'm in it. I'm a... just a figure recognized by the JSF. Not a big... you never heard of me probably. I'm nobody special _{but you're Victor Nikiforov and I really admire you and.... Victor... what happened.....}

[goldkiss]

Oh! Wow! I fellow competitor here? It's so nice to meet you. [And he does seem legitimately pleased to be talking to another figure skater.]

Do you have a place to practice here?

[pork_bowl]

_{[He smiles shyly. He's glad Victor isn't just faking it with him... he seems to really BE young Victor. Not just in body but in mind too. If he was pretending to be nice to him then Yuri would be sad.]}

Oh, well... yeah. Just me, though, not much competition. I'm Yuri Katsuki. Aaaaand you're in my practice area but you're welcome to it. It's yours too.

[Mantis is used to not too many people coming by the ice skating rink, so he's surprised to see someone on it. Even more so that he recognizes who it is. The size and overall appearance is very different, but he knows that hair and the technique. He comes up close to the rink, skates tossed over his shoulder.

So he calls out in Russian to the teen, trying to keep concern out of his voice.]

Victor! What happened to your appearance?

[goldkiss]

[Victor pauses and considers the man. His brow raises a bit, but he doesn't seem to startled or confused.]

Oh! you know me? [He moves closer to Mantis and looks a little embarrassed.] I woke up like this. People have told me that I've been here before. I'm afraid I don't remember much.

[ginger_firebird]

You have. When we met you were older and started giving me lessons on how to skate.

[Mantis floats very briefly to climb on the edge of the rink, kicking off his boots. The skates rise off his shoulders as he works to get them on.]

I am called Psycho Mantis. You really don't remember anything about living here?

[goldkiss]

[Victor shakes his head.]

No. I'm sorry. We can still probably continue the lessons though! I've always wanted to teach, eventually.

[ginger_firebird]

You're good at it. You and Yuri.

[His head comes up quickly from it's task at tying the laces up.]

Has he talked to you yet? Yuri, I mean. He's...someone who thinks the world of you.
