... !?

[Souji wakes and finds himself huddled in a crouch in the middle of an unfamiliar street. The rain pours down, soaking through his clothes. He blinks, taking in his foggy surroundings, and half-remembers something whispered in the mental haze:]

... the fog will come after several days of rain ... [Souji shakes his head, shivering, and

second level brah

[surpraizepitaph]

[Another voice echoes over the second level, answering]

I'm not sure either, although it's certainly a turn, isn't it?

full wootness!!

[truthvalue]

[And that's a little unsettling. In fact, Souji halts in his tracks and speaks aloud:]

... Hello?

Re: full wootness!!

[surpraizepitaph]

Hello, sir.

[truthvalue]

[His next words are merely thought, yet still project loudly:]

You can hear me?

[grantmeamiracle]

[MOMO's been wandering around the city, trying to come in contact with the rest of the people she senses. And now! Now she sees an older boy in the distance and, cautiously, approaches.

Oh, he looks kind of lost, doesn't he?]

Hello?

first level;

[truthvalue]

[Oh, it's ... a girl? She looks like a girl, anyway. Souji slows his pace.]

Ah ... hello. [He gives her a small, friendly smile.] Sorry ... are you from around here?

[grantmeamiracle]

[She smiles a little herself, but shakes her head.] No, I... I just got here.

You're not either?

[truthvalue]

[Souji shakes his head by means of replying.] Ah, I'm not ... I'm a bit lost, actually. I don't even know where this - [he gestures to the street around them] - is.

first level at this time

[meddlefussyfang]

[Kanaya has been exploring since that first, strange, chance encounter. Sticking near to the buildings and trees probably had nothing to do with it, but it wasn't until just now that a lightning strike was near her.

Alarmed, she dodges into onto another path. Ahead, a figure seems to be standing and staring off somewhere.]

Hello? Are you by any chance willing to stand and answer questions?

yaaaay

[truthvalue]

[ ... Well, that's certainly an odd costume. Some sort of cosplay, maybe? Too bad it's raining - it's probably getting ruined.

The request is a slightly odd one, too. Who asks someone to stand in the rain and answer questions? Actually, come to think of it, Souji's reminded of some of the people he used to run into in Inaba's shopping district.]

How can I help you?

[meddlefussyfang]

[She is pretty wet by now, but there isn't anything like gray running paint. That must be impressively water-proof paint then, yes?

This person---appears to be another human, another one!---is at least not running around the streets, telling her she shouldn't be there, or attacking her. This conversation has some promise.]

Do you by any chance know where we are? Since I guess this is a place that we're been brought to, somehow.

[truthvalue]

[Definitely impressive and high-quality cosplay, yes. But Souji shakes his head in response to her question.]

I'm afraid I'm a little lost myself, miss. The last thing I remember was that I was on a train headed for the city.

first level :B

[w e l p

After getting out of the house of crazy, Haseo is currently wandering around when she sees...some dude in the rain. Best take care of that.]

You may want to get indoors, stranger. The storm doesn't seem to be letting up.

n__n

[truthvalue]

Ah ... hello? [Souji slows his pace to a halt, squinting at the figure addressing him.] Sorry, I seem to be lost. Can you tell me where I am?

[bladedskies]

[She shakes her head slightly.]

Asking the wrong person. I just arrived too.

[truthvalue]

Ah. [You don't know where you are, either? Weird.] Might I ask where you were supposed to be?

First level

[Xykon drops down from the sky, skeletal arms flailing.]

Look out! THE UNDEAD ARE AFTER YOU!

[Oh man, it's so hard to keep a straight face... er, skull]

fslkjdf oh my god

[truthvalue]

[Souji skids to a stop, equally startled by this outburst as he had been by the groundstrike.]

What ... ?! [There are no other words immediately coming to mind, really.]

Xykon: a jerk

[force_and_style]

No, seriously, stop a moment and look.

[He points helpfully at where the lightning struck. The fact that he's deliberately stalling someone in range of the ghosts that the lightning might very well have crossed his mind...]

fuuuuu

[truthvalue]

[OK THAT IS SOMEWHAT ALARMING Souji obviously hadn't noticed this before.]

What ... is that?!
