[So after waking up in a different bed, freaking out and then hiding in his room to freak out some more, Marcell has calmed down enough to actually leave the house and take a look where he is. He is starting from 838 Hastings Boulevard and going around the neighbourhood, apparently trying to map the town out in his own head. Except this is a lot

[And when you walk into him... he's going to trip over you and end up on the ground.]

[isolationbox]

[asdfghjkl he might have shrieked. It is totally manly shriek, really.]

[coolbowtie]

[And now is going to pop back up like that happens everyday (it does). He brushes himself off and looks at the kid]

Sorry, sorry, didn't mean to walk into you. Just got a bit distracted and then suddenly your feet were right there and well, here we are.

[isolationbox]

I-I'm sorry!

[coolbowtie]

Don't apologize. You're not the first one I've tripped over.

[isolationbox]

Still...

[coolbowtie]

I've had worse, honestly.

No harm done to you, I hope.

[isolationbox]

I'm fine.

[If. Frazzled and kind of panicking on the inside forever.]

[coolbowtie]

...New arrival, hm?

[isolationbox]

...I-I guess. I woke up a while ago.

[coolbowtie]

Yes, yes, go to sleep in your home, wake up in Mayfield, it's rather distracting isn't it? We've all been there. Well, I wasn't in my home actually, but you get the idea.

Suppose I could welcome you, but that sort of implies that you want to be here.

[isolationbox]

And there's no way out.

[More of a statement than a question. He can't imagine anyone would want to stay here if they had any choice.]

[coolbowtie]

No. Not yet.

[It's times like this when he remembers how stuck he truly is.]

[isolationbox]

[DEEP BREATHS. M-must not panic more. In public.]

...

[coolbowtie]

But we will! Definitely, eventually, it's a thing we're working on. A thing in progress.

H-how far in progress?
