[ when the music stops, raido finds that he is sprawled on the floor in an undignified heap; not befitting his position as a devil summoner. he scowls a little as he picks himself up from the ground with a slight grunt, methodically checking for any injuries as he straightens up. no bones broken -- that is good. if anything, he didn't land badly.

[Japan had been on a walk. He took those often to begin with, and he was still trying to get used to the idea of being stuck in some strange city in another world, so walking allowed him to see more. The entrance hall was an interesting point, so it wasn't strange that he'd be there.

But at the first notice of the stranger, Pochi felt the need to pry himself from Japan's arms and go running towards him. Japan followed his dog quickly, of course.

But Pochi is faster, so enjoy a little dog jumping at you and wagging his little tail.]

[ the barking was what alerted him to the dog's presence (and rapid approach), and raido has just enough time to turn his head in the direction before it barrels into his leg hard enough to unbalance him momentarily. his hand immediately goes for the katana at his side before he realises that it's nothing demonic (just an ordinary dog - at least it was a comfort to know that something so ordinary existed in this place). ]

...

[ he looks down curiously at the dog, jumping around and wagging his tail, and cautiously leans down and reaching out a hand over to pat it; he'd been more of a cat person, really.

but if such a dog was here, it would mean that the owner was not too far away.. ]

[And sure enough, a tired Japan comes chasing after. His presence is enough to settle the small dog to a sitting position.]

F-forgive me! Ahh.. I wonder if I can get a leash, here..

[ ah.

finally, a person. and by the looks of it, he might be able to answer some questions that raido has. ]

It is not a problem.

[ he steps back and withdraws his hand as japan approaches. ]

Are you able to tell me where I am? I must return to Tokyo at once.

[He was looking around again, and while Souji didn't expect to see anything new, there was a steady stream of new people here. So when he came upon someone he didn't know, and who seemed like he was out of place, he automatically went over to try and help in whatever way he could.]

Are you okay, sir?

[ raido looks up as the other approaches, and although his eyes narrow a little and his shoulders tense a bit, he doesn't move into the defensive stance. he seems normal enough, and the manner of his speech sounded like he was trying to be helpful. ]

I am not injured, if that is what you mean.

But that is not the problem. What kind of devil's work is this, and why was I brought here?

[action]

[socialinking]

[Smiles politely.]

We're not sure why any of us were brought here. But did you happen to find a music box right before you arrived here?

[action]

[l4th]

"We"? How many people were affected by this?

[ that gives him pause. ]

-Yes.

So that is the cause of all this.

[goldenheart]

Well, as far as I know, this is no trick. You're really here!

So, uhm. Welcome to Splendor, mister!

[l4th]

[ whoa, voice. ]

Who are you? Show yourself to me now!

voice;

[goldenheart]

Hey, that's not very nice! I'm guessing you're at... uhm. That big place where everybody shows up, right? Well, I'm kinda far away.

You can hear me, though, 'cause of that gold-ish thingy you're holding! That's how I can hear you, too. ♪

[l4th]

[ HE'S JUST NOT IN TOUCH WITH THE TIMES ;w; ]

I see.

Forgive me, I wasn't aware that this was used for such a purpose.
