[You leave the house you woke up in, dazed and confused, wondering just what is going on and when you're going to wake up from this dream. You see other people in the same predicament wandering toward the centre of the small town, where an old man stands -- looking surprised, but composed--]

[A little off to the side, there is a young girl who appears to be very, very distressed. Perhaps more so than the situation calls for. Her hands are clasped nervously in front of her chest and she looks around with wide eyes. Look close and one would notice she's practically on the verge of tears.]

U-Um...

[There's lots of people around, but no one familiar. She stands there attempting to muster up the courage to ask someone for help. Her voice trembles.]

I...don't know where I am. E-Excuse me, someone?

[pianissimoe]

Y-Yes, m'am! [As scary as the Sister in the dorms! Maybe even scarier. Hikari dries her eyes and focuses hard. She hesitantly looks up.]

Um...do you know the people who have brought us all here?

[Good, she stopped crying. Not that Franziska cared.]

I'm afraid I do not know the exact details, however I am fairly confident that whoever did this is an opponent of my father.

2/2

[forperfectstats]

I wouldn't worry. My papa will come and sort these foolish kidnappers out soon.

[pianissimoe]

[She's heard so many different explanations, she doesn't know what to believe. Right now it's just causing more confusion for the poor girl.]

Your father must be someone very important...

A-Ah, as long as you're sure, m'am!

[redmapleflag]

Are you okay, miss?

[pianissimoe]

[She looks up and sees a man. Excuse her, she doesn't have much experience interacting with the opposite gender having attended an all-girls boarding school for 2 years now. She immediately bows her head again.] A-Ah, I'm sorry! It's j-just that I don't know where this is, and I...I want to go back home... [Trying not to cry, trying not to cry...]

[redmapleflag]

[Tries to smile] The sign says Route 29, maybe we can find a map. [Not mentioning that he should know where he is but doesn't]

[Flails a bit] Don't cry.

[pianissimoe]

S-Sorry! I don't... [She wipes at her eyes and shakes her head, still bowed.]

O-Okay... [She DID get this nifty backpack from the woman in the house. She opens it up and takes a look.] Um...maybe there's one in here.

[redmapleflag]

Oh I have one too. [He takes his backpack off his back and looks through his at well, pulling out a red and white ball among other things]

[pianissimoe]

[Sifting through everything. Oh dear, of course the first thing she finds is the changes of underwear. Blush. ER, PRETEND THAT DIDN'T HAPPEN.]

H-Here! [She's found some kind of training manual, and inside of it is a map of the region. Looking at it, her face falls a bit. That hopefulness didn't last long...] I-I've never heard of any of these places....

[redmapleflag]

[Matt blushes and pretends he didn't see any of that.]

[He looks over when she pulls out the map and studies it carefully. Now he knows his geography but this...] Where are we?

[pianissimoe]

[Her shoulders slump and she looks down. Her hands nervously clench the training book.] How are we going to get back, i-if we don't know where we are...?

[redmapleflag]

M-maybe this is just a map of a- a city! We need a globe or something. [Oh please don't cry.

[pianissimoe]

D-Do you think so? [She continues to play with the trainer's manuel in her hands...the pages will probably end up very bent.]

[redmapleflag]

[Not really.] S-sure.
