[ when yukari wakes, she does so with a yawn and a comfortable stretch before allowing herself to sit up in the bed that is definitely not hers and open her large brown eyes. if she was looking toward the desk over yonder, she would notice an open book--a book that seems to be transcribing her waking thoughts. instead, she freezes at her first

[ journal flipping the night away, though he stops since he recognizes that voice-ish. he pauses a bit, to think, before saying: ]

Yukari?

[bawwwmydad]

[ she doesn't exactly realise that the voice is coming from the book. also she doesn't see anyone so IT COULD BE A GHOST FFF. so have a little yelp of fright. ]

...Wh-Who said that?!

[steelbound]

Ah. [ pause ] There should be a journal nearby.

[bawwwmydad]

A...journal? [ she looks around. lo and behold, there's a journal right there on the desk. she goes over to it. ]

Oh, I found it.

[payback]

[...already?]

Hello? People can hear you. It's all right.

[bawwwmydad]

[ stumbling over to the book now. she thinks she can kind of figure out where these voices are coming from. ]

What do you mean "people can hear me"? Who are you?

[payback]

[she sounds friendly and she's not bothering to contain it. calm, too.]

My name's Rin. I live here, with lots of other people. I know that doesn't mean much... this journal shares voices.

[bawwwmydad]

You...live here? I'm sorry, where exactly is "here"?

[ the friendliness is nice, but none of this is making any sense. ]

[luciaseyes]

Ah, Yukari-chan!

[I need to go to dinner, but I'll respond soon!]

[bawwwmydad]

...?! [ oh, finally, a familiar voice. ]

Fuuka? Is that you?

[luciaseyes]

Yes, it's me. [brb, finding a bench or something to sit down on] I guess... I'm not even sure where to start.

This might sound strange but, you're in another world.

[bawwwmydad]

[ she's heard similarly stories from strangers, but now that fuuka's saying it-- ]

...So I'm guessing this isn't just some stupid prank, then, is it?

[brbfisting]

Takeba? [ a beat ] Relax, you're not in any danger. [ not... for now. EXPLANATIONS TO COME... ]

[bawwwmydad]

Akihiko-senpai, you're here too? [ by now she's figured out the whole journal thing and is talking into it. ]

What's going on here, anyway? [ something dawns on her. ] This isn't...?!

[brbfisting]

It's not Iwatodai, I know. This world is called Paradisa. Are you in a room right now? That means you're inside the castle.

[bawwwmydad]

We're in another world? [ this takes a minute to process ]

Um, yeah. I just woke up here.
