[When Mao came to in the plaza, he was quickly overwhelmed with the sudden influx of thoughts from the locals around him. With his body aching from healed injuries he sustained mere moments ago, it was almost a little too much to

[Kisa had arrived just a short time ago and she was still trying to get her surroundings. Timid and a little scared she nearly jumps a foot in the air when she hears the screaming. Unsure if she should follow the voice or not she nervously walks forward. Seeing the man she hides a little behind the wall before she approaches him.]

[I hope he's okay...]

H-Hello...are you okay?

[couldhearit]

[And that one is getting clos--Wait.

She's... What. This--It's almost too much for him to handle right off the bat.]

Where am I?

[Well, that's a start anyways. One little step, one little voice at a time.]

[rarimatiger]

[Kisa doesn't try to touch him but she moves a little closer.]

I...It's called Vatheon...someone told me...we're stuck here. Are you okay?

[couldhearit]

Vatheon?

['He doesn't look so go...'
...she'll help?']

Everyone, be quiet-- Vatheon, Vatheon, Vatheon... This place is a little strange, isn't it?

[Alright, let's just try and push back the panic.]

[singsforsouls]

Are you all right?

[ It was obvious the man was not, but Naoya was using the question to get his attention, a slight, concerned frown on his face. ]

[couldhearit]

[Whoa, hey. That noise is new. Between all of the locals there's a smidgen of... static? Congratulations, he's now focusing his full attention on this static man! Yep, still white noise.]

Suddenly, I'm not so sure.

[singsforsouls]

What is the problem? Are you new? This place can be confusing at first.

[Loud people always kind of draw Kyouko's attention. Go figure.

Just when she's passing by, she raises an eyebrow. What the heck...?]

Unless you've got a little voice inside your head, nobody said anything.

[couldhearit]

A voice? Now, now! It's nothing like that--!

[Now that was a quick guess! What a smart girl!]

No, no, you misunderstand me! It's not one voice--It's all of them! Far too many for me to possibly count and they simply won't be quiet!

[foodchewing]

[It was just luck. First thing that came to mind when he was sitting there talking to himself.

...O h. She didn't...really think it would be real.]

Cool, so Vatheon brought a lunatic this time. Isn't there a place for people like you...?

[Like an insane asylum...]

[couldhearit]

I'm not insane! I'm not, I'm not, I'm not, I'm not--! Be quiet, you!

[patchworkdoctor]

[Wow. He looks like fun.]

New, huh.

[he's rolling by on his computer chair, an eyebrow raised.]

I can get you a towel.

[couldhearit]

[Fun as a barrel of monkeys, man.]

What was that?

[He'll just be snatching a pair of shades off a nearby rack to hide his eyes.]

[patchworkdoctor]

Hmmmmm?

[His eyes. His soul. That's an interesting mark. I wonder what it means.]

It'd be easier on you if you calmed down.

[couldhearit]

...! Easier on me? Just who do you think you a--What mark!?

[idiotdetective]

What the hell crawled up your ass and died?

[couldhearit]

Well~! That's quite a way to greet someone!

[idiotdetective]

Yeah. Traditional welcoming committee procedures. You must be new here.
