[If you happen to be hanging out in town, you may have just heard a very sudden exclamation, and if you moved in the direction you thought you heard it from, you might come upon a youth wearing what appears to be some kind of school uniform.

He's raking his hand back through his untidy white hair, teeth gritted, looking monstrously confused.]

Another newbie?!

Re: Action

"Newbie"? People must not wander into your town that often, then, I guess.

Hey, where are we, anyway? I'm starting to think maybe I shouldn't have ended up here.

We're in a city called Splendor. Lots of people are stuck here from a music box they found just before they ended up here. Did you find one, too?

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

No, I--

...Wait. I think I sort of did. I heard one, anyway. I don't see how that could make me wake up somewhere I've never been before, though.

Are you sure the music box is what did it?

Re: Action

[afterthesong]

Honestly, I don't think anyone here is certain about that. It's just that, it's gotta be more than a coincidence that we all found music boxes right before we came here. Or at least most of us, I think. I haven't spoken to everyone in the city.

I'm not sure how it all happened, but staying here is making me believe in things that were considered fairy tale back home. Did you know you can make wishes here?!

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

I met your wish-granting system, yeah. I'm not really sure I believe I'm even awake yet.

Re: Action

[afterthesong]

Oh, man, I've totally been there. Actually, I'm still having a hard time accepting that this is all real.

Do you come from a world with magic and stuff? I've spoken to tons of people who came here from really weird worlds with strange pets and demons and a whole bunch of other things that I never would have imagined.

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

Magic, witches, werewolves, people who turn into weapons; stuff like that.

...I'm guessing you're not here from the DWMA.

Re: Action

[afterthesong]

Werewolves?! That sounds so scary! And people turn into weapons?

"DWMA", what's that?

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

I turn into a weapon, too, actually, but from the sounds of it, it might kinda freak you out.

The DWMA is the school I'm from. I sort of assumed it was the reason I'm here, but it's starting to look like I'm wrong.

Re: Action

[afterthesong]

Never heard of The DWMA, sorry. But why would you want to turn into a weapon? Unless you don't want to an are, for some reason, forced to? That would be awful.

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

I was born like this, so it's not a big deal. It's pretty common.

I volunteered to fight, besides, so I don't mind doing it. Might as well do something useful with my abilities.

But you've really never heard of the DWMA? Death Weapon Meisters Academy? The school's in Nevada, but we go all over the place doing missions for it.

Re: Action

[afterthesong]

I don't think I'll ever get used to hearing such strange things about the people here...

Death Weapon? [She shakes her head.] Definitely not. It sounds serious.

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

Meh. It's not bad. There's more boring stuff you could be doing at school.

What's your name, anyway?

Re: Action

[afterthesong]

My name is Reira! I'm from New York, but moved to Tokyo when I was really small. Now I'm stuck here somehow.

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

And I'm Soul. I was going to school in Nevada, but I guess this probably isn't even North America we're in now.

Good times.
