[ STOMP, STOMP, STOMP. The comm is dangerously close to a stomping boot, peering up at a rather intimidating figure who hasn’t noticed it yet. In fact, it looks like he’s a little too busy tearing off a crown of twigs and berries from his head and throwing it to the ground. ]

...the hell is this? [ STOMP, STOMP, CRACK.Right on the communicator.

[Another string of new faces, but this one - well, it's the shouting that grabs his attention more than the view itself. He knows that roar before he's even properly looked at the feed, a soft note of surprise in his throat -]

[action]

[toplay_thefool]

Hm.

[Very good, Kanji. Souji continues on down the path once the other falls into step with him. The village is visible further down the trail, half hidden by the trees.]

It was March for me, when I arrived here. The time here doesn't flow properly.

Because of faeries. [ see, look! he's catching on? don't listen to the doubt saturating his voice. ]

[He answers that with a nod.]

I've been here for a few months now. There are some who have been here for longer than that - almost a year, I think.

[action]

[renovative]

Wh-What?! [ he stops, partly out of shock, partly out of some physical need to deny what he just heard. ]

Months?! A year?! Look, Senpai-- this ain't funny, man. I've got shit to take care of at home-- Hell, Ma'd worry herself sick if I came home late! You know how she is!

[action]

[toplay_thefool]

It's alright.

[Calm as ever.]

While we're here, time for us has stopped, back home. When we return, it'll be like no time at all has passed.

[action]

[renovative]

Because of faeries.

[action]

[toplay_thefool]

Mmhmm.

[SUCCINCT.]

[ starts moving again. the dramatic pause in movement is over. ]

Okay, okay, sayin' I buy all this fairy shit, WHICH I AIN'T, what the hell do they want with me? Or you?!

[action]

[toplay_thefool]

[He glances at him.]

We don't know that yet.

[action]

[renovative]

Of course. [ grumble, grumble, grumble. Kanji'll be staring at his feet, because that makes far more sense than random woods, random village, and faeries. ]

And where the hell's all this? [ he'll gesture half-heartedly at the surrounding area. ]

[action]

[toplay_thefool]

It's called Demeleier. The village is, at least. We're not the only ones who've been brought here - but some aren't from a world we know, either.

It's basic. Most of the buildings don't even have proper floors - but we've been working on that.

[action]

[renovative]

...Senpai, you're hurtin' my head, man. [ cue headscratch to emphasize his point. ]

So... [ He pauses, like he's trying to gather his thoughts. ] Time's messed up [ holds up one finger ], we're in a different world [ holds up another ], and there are faeries [ holds up a third. ].

Anything else I'm missin'?

[action]

[toplay_thefool]

That's the gist of it.

[His expression is not quite a smile; rueful, sympathetic.]

I can explain more when you're settled. There's an information post on the network, too.
