[ It's taken him a few minutes to figure out how to work the Hitomi, but once he does, a video feed becomes visible for the general population of the world itself. What's behind him is very clearly Himorogi, and he seems to be (regardless of the level of confusion that seems apparent in the manner his brow knits) rather level headed. He's had a

[ Peter almost considers just ignoring this because he kind of has bigger things to worry about right now. But then it occurs to him that Elle arrived and was almost immediately captured -- possibly because she didn't know what she was walking into. And while Peter can't say he really gives a shit about what happened to Elle, he can't, with a clean conscience, just let this guy wander into this world without any idea of what he's getting into.

So Peter responds. ]

Hey. My name's Peter.

You're in a parallel universe that's called Kannagara.

[precogging]

Well, you get points for being concise. [ A beat. ] I'm Sam.

[ He's processing this for a few seconds, chewing on the new information and getting a feel for it, a taste for it. He's not sure he's ready to order a full portion yet. ]

You're sure? Do you know how? Or why?

[ad_salvatio]

Sorry man, I can't tell you why we got here, though there's a bunch of theories. The most popular one is that a bunch of gods brought us here or something. But I don't really buy that.

[ Besides, there is only one God. Peter doesn't believe in the concept of multiple deities. That's the kind of thing that's in comic books. ]

One thing's for sure -- this definitely is a totally different universe. And no one's figured out how to get back home yet.

[ Sam might agree if he didn't know better. Because he's killed lesser Gods before. ]

No one's tried to find any seals or portals? Has anyone really looked?

[ Juudai had been about to go looking for something like civilization - hopefully there'd be some kind of town or village within a reasonable walking distance - but he's just heard something from the other side of the tree (the huge tree), and it sounds like a voice. And not a voice he knows, either.

Kuriboh trills his nervousness and vanishes for the time being while Juudai makes his way through the lush vegetation. The scenery is so beautiful here. It's so beautiful that Juudai actually feels a bit worried, like something bad might happen just because no place can be this perfect. Maybe it would be wise to keep an eye on the plants, just in case.

There's a guy standing there, talking into his own phone-thing (the back said "Hitomi," is that the brand or is that what it is?). Juudai calls out: ]

Hey! Uh - hi there! Do you know where we are?

[action at himorogi]

[ Sam can't read the Japanese; he just knows it's a device that allows him to communicate with the outside world.

He turns quickly, a defensive stance immediately overtaking the calm that had been there only moments before. He sees the approaching young man, however, and relaxes again not long after. He seems fairly harmless, and as lost as Sam himself happens to be. ]

I'm not sure. Not anywhere near home, though. I know that much.

[action at himorogi] glowing things are mushi, idk if you're having Sam be able to see them

[sternitfortem]

No, we're definitely in an alternate dimension. [ Said very promptly, as if there was absolutely nothing crazy or out of the norm about this. Juudai glances around again. ] I don't know which one, though. Seems pretty spirit-heavy, though. [ There are a lot of random, glowing things moving around in the grasses. ] I'm not sure why we'd be here.

[ Who is this guy, anyway? He speaks really good Japanese, could he be some kind of businessman? A pro duelist? ]

[action at himorogi] i think i won't have him since really his power is darkly rooted and whatnot

[precogging]

Uh - is this something you're used to? Being dragged out of your dimension? [ Sam is used to really weird shit but being yanked into an alternate dimension isn't the norm for him and he's a little confused as to how someone seems to not even blink at the fact that that's what this is. And he's completely oblivious to the fact that he's speaking Japanese. It feels like English to him. He's processing this for awhile. So much that he's not even paying attention to the rest of everything. Except he did catch 'spirits'... ] Spirits? Like ghosts?

[ voice ] 1/3

[sakurabito]

[Frown. It is a terrible time for newcomers and, usually, he would not bother with them, allow the more friendly, welcoming types to handle this sort of thing. That is their specialty, after all. But it's best to get him before he goes somewhere, gets himself caught or killed and forces him to do something silly, like actually go save them.]

You have arrived in Kannagara. There is no known method of escape and you are far from anything you know.

[Best description anyone will ever get from him.]

It's recommended you journey to Mizusato.

[ text ] 2/3

[sakurabito]

[Oh. Right. Newcomer. He probably needs directions. Byakuya's being terribly generous today.

Here are the coordinates, Newcomer. Be grateful.]

[ voice ]

[sakurabito]

[And he'll record one last message. Just because he is being so nice today.]

Do you require anything else? [The answer is no, if one is wondering.]

[ video ]

[precogging]

Uh, no - I think that covers it. And then some. I've gotten the same information from someone else. [ He pauses, thinking for a second before deciding to actually continue talking. ] So, nobody knows how to get out? Seriously? I figured I might meet more than one person but I also figured one of them might have information.

[Because despite everything, the show must go on and so, Yamamoto does the right thing and forwards information to new comers who are probably - at some point - going to get fucked in the ass quite hard

[ video ]

[precogging]

[ He'll get a video in return because Sam can't be assed to work anything else on the Hitomi yet. ]

Doesn't make any sense of thing, but it's better than being in the dark. Thanks.

[ video ]

[rainandsushi]

[And he'll get a video back in response and a half shrug and probably a bit of smile that may look apologetic. Or uncaring.]

It's not meant to make sense if I'm being perfectly honest. You're welcome all the same. Found a place to stay?

[ video ]

[precogging]

I'm still working on that part. Mostly I'm just getting used to all of this. Anywhere you'd recommend?
