[Not surprisingly, Meiling is once again fast asleep. But this time, something feels off. In the almost three weeks she's been at Mayfield, she's only spent one night in an actual bed. The rest of the time, she's been sleeping outside the Kishin house. So the feeling of being in an actual bed instead of sprawled out on the front porch of a house is

[Oooh, for some reason, this bed feels so much more comfortable than the one Akihiko has at home. In fact, it's so comfortable, he hasn't quite woken up yet.

He's laying on his stomach and hugging the pillow, dressed in his usual pajamas and muttering something to himself as he sleeps. Peacefully, it seems like.

... but probably not for long]

[Picking up on the muttering, Meiling glances to the side, noticing she is not alone in the bed.]

2/2

[Cue surprised scream as Meiling jumps out of bed, nearly tripping on the nightgown she knows she didn't fall asleep in.]

W-W-What the heck--!?

[emperorziodyne]

[That wakes him up, and he yelps and tumbles off of the bed]

W-who is that--?!

[lazygatekeeper]

[Meiling falls into a fighting stance, but she's still freaking out a little so she doesn't really look all that threatening.]

I should be asking you that! What am I doing here!?

[emperorziodyne]

[Standing up, decidedly not taking a fighting stance so as not to freak her out]

I should be asking you that!

[lazygatekeeper]

I asked you first!

[Real mature, Meiling.]

[emperorziodyne]

[a pause]

So you don't know either?

[lazygatekeeper]

Nope. I don't even know how I got here.

[emperorziodyne]

Well neither do I.

[lazygatekeeper]

Geez, as if this place wasn't weird enough...

Oh well. Sorry 'bout that. [And with that, Meiling heads for the door, only to find that it won't open.]

.... It's locked.

[emperorziodyne]

[He was just about to follow her when she gives him the news. He frowns and goes to the window]

... this is too.

[lazygatekeeper]

... Weird. Maybe it's stuck or something.

2/3

[lazygatekeeper]

[Meiling steps back a little, falls into a fighting stance, and aims a hard kick straight at the door. It rattles a bit, and it's clear such a hit would usually knock a door off it's hinges, but nothing happens.

Except for Meiling falling to the floor and clutching her leg. That was some shock.]

3/3

[lazygatekeeper]

O-Okay, it's really stuck....

[emperorziodyne]

[... well damn, that was actually... really impressive. Akihiko would try the same with the window but punching through glass is usually never a good idea, so he just goes over to help her up]

Who the hell locked us in here?
