I - [335 Brady Lane, morning of Tuesday]

[Hi, folks. Looks like the house has a new mom. Because there's a screech coming from the 'parents'' bedroom. And a frantic scrambling. And sudden clunking sounds. It seems she's fallen down the entire flight of stairs from the top floor to the bottom. She's at the landing, laying on her face.]

Ouch.

[Whelp,

Comments

[nothing_is_grey]

There are many from your world but how many of them are close to you I can't say.

[forgottenmagia]

Do you know who? [A beat, and then a sheepish laugh.] Also, who am I speaking with...?

[nothing_is_grey]

I can give a list, though I will have to see if there are any new additions as its that time right now.

Forgive me for not introducing myself, I am Shiki Eiki Yamaxanadu.

[forgottenmagia]

If it wouldn't be too much trouble, I'd like that.

[Yamaxandu...wow okay don't mind her while she's mentally keysmashing. Like, uh, HOLY SHIT THE GENSOKYO YAMA IS HERE.]

Oh! [Insert nervous clearing of throat here.]

I

[unknownmatter]

[hello not!mom, Kakine is going to greet you by stepping on your head while you're down.]

Depends on who you are and what you're doing here. I can show you some bad karma if you deserve it. Are you new here too, or is there something I should know about you? Don't fucking try to keep secrets about this place from me.

[forgottenmagia]

[She doesn't try to move, her face still firmly into the floor.]

Sorry. My name is Byakuren Hijiri. I'm a Buddhist nun and witch. I try my best to do away with getting any bad karma, though I suppose perhaps waking up the man beside me, with my yelling, merited this.

[A tiny grunt of pain.]

I just woke up here a few minutes ago. Does that constitute as 'new'?

[unknownmatter]

Ha ha, so you're part of our little group of hostages, eh? I'll believe you. You're the odd one out, as far as I can tell.

[He stops stepping down on her head, but doesn't offer to help her up or anything. What a dick.]

I'm not completely sure of the details yet, but basically, you've been kidnapped. Don't know who did it or why, but this whole town's full of people in the same situation. You're stuck here indefinitely, and you'll be living in this house with me and some other scumbag.

Hopefully you're not an insider who's trying to bullshit me. That would be unfortunate for you.

[forgottenmagia]

[She groans, scrambling to her feet.]

That's not a nice way to talk about your fellow captives, dear.

I don't lie, no. It's against the fourth precept.

I

[redirections]

[Guess who shows up to greet her

With his gun.]

Oi, what the hell are you doing in my house?

[Sigh. Please don't say you woke up here...]

[forgottenmagia]

[Don't mind her nursing the GIANT BRUISE on her forehead, with an ice pack from the kitchen.]

I woke up here, in bed next to that strange man.

[redirections]

...Great.

That's just fucking great.

[Not lowering his gun at all.]

I'm going to be forced to live with you from now on, then.

[forgottenmagia]

[She doesn't seem too worried about the gun.]

I'm sorry, is that a bad thing to you? I mean, I know it's not pleasant to start rooming with strangers, but I don't think I'm intolerable...Kyouko-chan seems to like me very much.

[ninetailservant]

[There is suddenly a yellow fox nearby, Byakuren. What do you do?]

What are you doing?

[forgottenmagia]

[Smile, of course!! And keep shovelling.]

Clearing the walkway of snow.

[ninetailservant]

[Just gonna keep staring.]

Why?

[forgottenmagia]

It's an inconvenience to walk through snow. I'm helping out.
