WHO: Luca and you!
WHERE: Somewhere in the city
WHEN: Right after Luca's arrival
WHAT: He just got out of the labyrinth, found a weird device with directions on how to use it, and he's trying to figure out what's going on
WARNINGS: Fear of extreme isolation and mentions of whale carcass
Luca doesn't know how he got here. One moment he's on Genova, the next he's suddenly deep underwater. He's never been to the part of the sea he finds himself in before, but he instantly knows where he is, because it's exactly how he pictured it. The Deep.
It's dark. Completely pitch black, nothing to see. Nothing to hear, either. It's quiet, incredibly quiet, enough to make him feel alone and isolated because clearly there aren't any other sea monsters around. He doesn't even hear any other fish or sea life around to catch his interest. There's just...nothing to see or do, just endless emptiness with nothing to engage him but his thoughts...and the smell of rotting whale meat that seems to permeate the water.
Why is he here? He was in Genova, on land. His parents had gone back on this, they weren't going to send him here. He shouldn't be here!
Terrified, not of any imminent threat because there certainly doesn't seem to be one, but of being trapped in this place while he slowly goes mad from the endless monotony, living off the bits and pieces of floating whale carcass that he feels brush past his skin as they float past, he screams.
"No! No, no, no, no, no! I'm not supposed to be here!" he yells out to no one, because no one's there to hear.
Luca then takes off, desperately swimming up to escape the Deep, even though he can't see any signs of even the slightest sliver of light piercing the darkness to indicate that he might be escaping.
He's in such a frenzied panic that he doesn't even know how he ends up reaching land, only that he finds himself in a new place he's never been before. He quickly shakes himself off to remove any remaining droplets of water, triggering his transformation back into his human form. Still trembling slightly from the sheer panic of thinking he'd be trapped in the Deep, he looks around and spots a nearby bench and decides to have a seat. That's when he notices the strange, rectangular device next to where he's sitting, and under the device is a little booklet with directions on it's use. Strange...why would something like this just be left here? Is it for anyone to just pick up and use? It must be, because why else would someone leave it with step by step instructions on how to use it?
Curious, Luca picks up and starts messing with the strange device, following the instructions to try and understand it.

Spoilers: it will not go well.

Then he realizes that if this guy knows so much about building a portal that he's certain he can bring them all back, he probably knows a lot about how all of this works.
"So how does whatever brings us here work, anyway?"
no subject
Alas, he is not knowledgeable here.
"I have a few theories- potentially a rip in space-time, or perhaps a man-made portal that Zodiac are hiding. Though none of that explains the people who seem to have entire other lives here. That's... that's still a headscratcher."

Luca's been lucky enough that the only other person from his world came through the labyrinth, same as him, so he's assumed that everyone he's met from this world so far is completely and fully from this world and no where else.

And in like, a week, Catalina will show up so he got his wish in the worst way possible. Fate's funny like that!

Sure, they'd only known each other for a short time before he ended up here, but it was a very impactful period of time.
no subject
Likely not, but he can TRY.

"Oh- thanks. There's still a lot to work out, but I'm pretty confident about it."

And what better place to start than Varian's project figuring out how to get them all back home?
no subject
Learning while doing, that's what he did after all!

He's going to get to science! He's going to get to science!
