[Shivering, Ryunosuke stared where the "locomotive" had left, moving his hands slightly up and down his upper arms to try and calm himself. A suspicious look creeps onto his face while he wonders in which kind of mess he got himself again. He starts to take a few steps, muttering words under his breath.]Just what the...! Why do such things keep

Lovino! Lovino! Are you here, Lovi?

Hey, is that yours?

Ve~ you are new to Ruby City, aren't you?

[There's a slight frown on his face. Who did he end up from Kyoto to anywhere bizarre like here? How did he end up on that locomotive anyways?]

Ve~! A new arrival! I've never been the first one to talk to a new arrival!
[He interlaces his hands behind his back and bounces up and down on his feet. He squints, pursing his lips, as he thinks hard to recall what he had been told when he first arrived.]
You're in Ruby City! That's the name of this place! [His voice is a happy, eager chirp and he spreads out his arms in an all-compassing gesture.] You've been kidnapped by mysterious people who nab people from different times and places and even planets and keep them all imprisoned here. But don't worry, Ruby City is a nice place!

You are also kidnapped? But what do they want from us? I don't have anything!

They don't want our money or our possessions. Well, I lost my white flag and that nice English lady said she was missing some coins when she arrived, but I think that's just because they're pretty bad at kidnapping, not because they're stealing from us on purpose! No one knows what they want from us. If you ask me, they're bored.
[Bored and cruel, but he really doesn't want the newcomer to go hysterical on him. He's seen soldiers lose it when the stress became too much to take, it's not a pretty sight and Germany isn't around to hide behind.]

They kidnap people because they're bored? That doesn't make sense. If people kidnap somebody they usually try to blackmail somebody.

Ve~ they do all kinds of weird things, too. Sometimes they're nice things, like when they organized a festival for us. Or a ball. But sometimes bad things happen. Like when people were caught in the maze with monsters trying to eat them!

Monsters trying to eat people? You can't be serious!

Well, there was the haunted house with the ghosts trying to kill people, but I'm not sure if the captors did that or if the city itself is out to get us. I think not even people who have survived death can't control ghosts!

[Or that's what he believed anyways. Or wanted to believe.]

I know they masqueraded as ghosts of our loved ones, but they weren’t them. And they were mean. They tried to kill Lili and me!

[Ryunosuke frowns a bit. Well, than he wouldn't have had feared too much.]
They tried to kill you? Somehow this city seems to try and kill you a lot.

I... I guess it does. Ve~ I try not to think about it too much, it's scary. But it's not all bad! I've met many nice people in this city and you get as much pasta as you want!

P-pasta?
