So many people.

[Action]

[Mori's having a hard time working through the market place without dumping cake on someone. Honey needs his cake so Mori has to make his usual trip, even with all this... nonsense going on. He has to risk it and be very careful so no one gets cake on their face and he has to go back to the bakery.]

Oh, look, another muse!

[hasnotastebuds]

[What is this place? Where's Yasuchika? Then he sees-!]

TAKA-NIII!!!! [And runs over to his beloved older brother. Taka-nii would know what was going on!]

You have too many voices in your head.

[needslovelyitem]

[Takashi takes moment to look at his brother before sighing to himself. Of course he would be here. It makes sense considering the chaos going around.] Satoshi.

[hasnotastebuds]

[Satoshi looks up adoringly at his beloved older brother, not unlike a puppy~] Taka-nii, I'm so glad you're here! Just where are we?

[needslovelyitem]

Luceti. Another world. We're kidnapped. [Explaining everything is surely pointless since there's little chance so many people will be staying for long. Mori's fairly certain they'll be returned to their worlds before too long. Satoshi only needs the minimum so he won't get hurt here.]

[hasnotastebuds]

K-kidnapped!? How did they manage to kidnap us, Taka-nii?? [Well, maybe he could be kidnapped but it was absolutely unthinkable that his Taka-nii was kidnappable! The pride of the Morinozuka clan! The last true samurai kidnapped! Impossible!!]

[needslovelyitem]

{Mori stares at him for a moment. He's not really sure. He doesn't remember being kidnapped. He only remembers waking up here. He hasn't even heard anyone mention what happens when they were kidnapped. If no one has said anything, and considering the number of fighters in Luceti, that means no one remembers. It's logical.] No one knows.

[hasnotastebuds]

No one?

...
...
... I knew that sandwich tasted funny. I probably shouldn't have eaten it. It must have been drugged.

[needslovelyitem]

[Mori looks at his brother in a look that clearly says eating food he doesn't think is good is stupid. Eating food he thinks is drugged is even worse. There's also a hint of question as to why he would eat a possibly drugged sandwich.]

[hasnotastebuds]

[Sees the look, understands the silent question and just laughs, rubbing the back of his head a bit.]

Yasuchika told me to eat it.

[Coz like his Taka-nii, he is very loyal to his charge.]

[needslovelyitem]

[Of course. Mori should have thought of that before. Well, at least it's Satoshi who is suffering by being temporarily kidnapped rather thank another Haninozuka. Could that be a little pride in Mori's face? Almost, but considering he doesn't know why Yasuchika would make him eat a drugged sandwich, he can't really give Satoshi too much credit.]

[hasnotastebuds]

[Oh, Satoshi catches that faint glitter of pride and he beams brightly. He might not be able to read Yasuchika and is fact oblivious to what Yasuchika is really feeling most of the time but he can understand his Taka-nii perfectly.]

So... what are supposed to do here then? How do I get back?

[needslovelyitem]

[That is one of the perks to being brothers. Only Honey would have a chance of understanding Mori the way Satoshi can.]

Wait. [If Satoshi waits long enough, he'll eventually be returned. There really isn't much else for him to do in the mean time, especially without Yasuchika to look after.]

[hasnotastebuds]

Wait? Wait here? [In the marketplace?] Wait for what?

[needslovelyitem]

Wait to be returned. It won't matter where. [The Malnosso always seem to find them.]

[hasnotastebuds]

Oh, okay. [And stands next to his big brother.] ... Taka-nii, what's that cake for?

[needslovelyitem]

Mitsukuni. [Mori heads back toward the house. He really should be getting that cake to Honey, sooner rather than later.]
