What-- Soul! Soul! Where are you?

Surely the inside of Asura's barrier can't look like this-- unless this is some kind of illusion... That must be it...

But really, a baseball diamond? Really?

... Really.

Apartments should be straight ahead.

Voice.

[justlikemama]

[ There's a pause on her end for a moment, before she speaks again. ]

Apartments-- wait, wait. This is...

[ And it suddenly hits her like a ton of bricks. ]

...Ah...

Voice.

[tipofatlas]

...

Most likely a difference world.

Voice.

[justlikemama]

A different world? That's... how is that possible?

[beautifulracer]

You don't like baseball?

[justlikemama]

It's not that I don't like it, I just-- wait, wait! Who are you, if you don't mind me asking?

[ At this point, Maka is torn between wondering if she's been pulled into the Insanity, or if she seriously has been kidnapped.

Unfortunately, she's leaning towards the kidnapped option. ]

[Haruka feels a little bad for the girl but can't help feeling amused at her reaction. She holds back her laughter, smiling at her monitor instead.]

I'm Haruka. I was recently pulled here, too. Don't worry, I'm not going to hurt you or anything weird like that.

Re: audio

[justlikemama]

[ It's a good thing Haruka can't see how Maka visibly wilts at that. The phrase 'recently pulled here' is not comforting at all, simply because it confirms her fears. ]

Ah... I see. It's nice to meet you, Haruka, my name is Maka. So this isn't an illusion, then...?

[sanninlegacy]

Isn't your soul s'posed t' be inside you?

voice;

[justlikemama]

Yes, but-- [ WHY DO YOU HAVE TO DO THIS TO HER ]

No, no, Soul is my partner! I just... nng. Can you tell me what's going on?

voice;

[sanninlegacy]

That would depend on whatcha mean. I think you'd know better than I would 'bout what's goin' on where you are.

voice;

[justlikemama]

I'm going to assume this is all one big illusion, then. Although, you don't SOUND like the Kishin...

[successoroftime]

Why would you be inside a Hindu god's barrier?

[justlikemama]

He's not a Hindu god, he's a Kishin, and-- who are you?

[successoroftime]

Watanuki. I don't think we've spoken to each other before.

Kishin?

[justlikemama]

No, I'm pretty sure we haven't, either. My name's Maka, it's nice to meet you, Wantanuki.

Yeah, the Kishin was revived, and my partner and I were going into his barrier to fight him... and then I ended up here. Without said partner.

[eightofdeath]

Maka?

[sigh] I had a feeling it was only a matter of time before the rest of you started showing up.

But no, the Kishin doesn't have a secret love of baseball; we've both been brought here for some reason. And it's impossible to leave. I've tried.

[justlikemama]

Kid! I'm so glad to hear your voice!

So then... we've been kidnapped?

[eightofdeath]

It's nice to hear from you too. I'm glad you're safe.

Essentially. I'm still trying to figure out a motive. But I think we can rule out Medusa.

...Soul didn't come with you either?

[justlikemama]

I'm glad you're safe, too.

I see. Yes, this doesn't seem like her style at all, but at least we're here together, right? Two minds are better than one, after all. [ And SYMMETRICAL. ]

No, which is really odd, because he was just with me...
