first peck

[i_gar_ashi]

[It's a really sad thing when waking up in Mayfield is a serious improvement over waking up where you normally wake up. It is for this very reason that Ganta isn't panicking as he speaks into the phone; honestly, he seems more perplexed than anything...]

Er... hello? Is anyone there? Am I, uh, still in Deadman Wonderland...? I mean, I'm not really

[Something mews from behind. Turn around and you will see a boy standing there silently with a baseball bat in one hand and holding a small, gray cat in the opposite arm. Slugger doesn't say anything but when he spots the photo, the corner of his lips twist into a smirk. He can't deny Mayfield's twisted sense of humor.]

[i_gar_ashi]

Wh-What the-!? [Ganta crouches into a combat stance, pointing his palm at Slugger like it's a gun.] Who are you...?

[strike_you_out]

[In turn, Slugger raises his bat, points its twisted barrel at Ganta... then brings it down to rest upon his shoulder, all while still grinning.

The cat simply looks very uncertain.]

Who are you?

[i_gar_ashi]

...Ganta Igarashi. Your turn.

ilu so much

[Said giant skeleton is walking by the room. In a black robe. Luckily the scythe is in his own room. Have a voice in your head.]

....ARE YOU ALRIGHT?-

[Wait a second, who are you?]

[i_gar_ashi]

[...

.......

...........................]

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!

[likescats]

I'LL TAKE THAT AS A NO.

[Can a skeleton sigh? This one seems to.]

IF YOU STOP SCREAMING I MIGHT BE ABLE TO ANSWER SOME OF THE QUESTIONS YOU NO DOUBT HAVE.

[i_gar_ashi]

[DEEP BREATHS. DEEP BREATHS. It doesn't seem like the skeleton wants to attack you, which makes him better than most of the people you've met in the past few months.]

O... Okay. Okay. I'm alright. Wh... Why are you a skeleton, where is your skin.

[bread_goes_bip]

[Death wanders by. That's not either of her drone boys now is it.]

Hello. You're probably a bit confused right now, aren't you?

[i_gar_ashi]

You... could say that again. Where exactly am I, and who are you?

[bread_goes_bip]

You've been brought to a town called Mayfield. I'm Death. Or Didi, if that's easier for you.

[i_gar_ashi]

Wait, you're... also Death? How many Deaths are in this place...?

[pokeay]

Are you alright...?

[i_gar_ashi]

Er... yeah, I think so. I'm not hurt or anything, this is just- really weird. Really weird.

[pokeay]

Yeah... Mayfield really is quite strange. But it's not that bad, as long as you follow the rules and stuff.

[i_gar_ashi]

...Rules? I've heard that one before. What kind of rules?

phone;

[deflowers]

[no fucking way. a part of her is angry at him- stupid Ganta; who needs you here?- but another, the part that constricts tightly in her chest, says what took you so long?

twisting the phone cord around her fingers, she tries to sound calm and collcted; it doesn't quite work.]

Heh. It's not DW.

[i_gar_ashi]

Minatsuki! Man, it's really good to hear a familiar voice... [even if it belongs to someone who tried to kill him...]

If we're not in DW, where are we? Do you know what's going on?

[deflowers]

How much d'you know already?

[a beat.] The mission. Did we finish it? What happened?

[i_gar_ashi]

Some people have tried to explain it to me, but it's all really confusing. I still can't believe this place isn't some kind of extension of DMWL...

...The mission? I thought you weren't helping Scar Chain... As for how it went, well, it... [where does he even begin! confusing time frames yay.] Karako and the others got away, but Nagi...
