[It's a drippy wet day outside- has been for the past day or so, and by the looks of that sky, probably for the rest of the day as well. Perhaps that's why your character's at the Battle Dome today. Perhaps they've just keyed in their scenario and stepped through the door. Perhaps the

[[Uriko is at the dome today because... it ended up being the closest place when it started raining again.

And she hates the rain... you don't even know! It's like how much cats hate water!

Uriko, at the time she caught some falling girl, was beating up a rather hideous mixture of human and bat. So that in itself is probably pretty shocking.

What's probably worse is that the girl who caught you looks like some cross of a cat and a person, only far less frightening, and more... cute.]]

W-w-woah! Where did you come from!?

[talkstoknives]

[And yet in typically Anri fashion, she'll bow her head slightly, shoulders hunched.]

I see. [But she's still glancing around.]

[kenpo_kitty]

Oh, so let's get outta here already, Anri! This probably isn't the first place you wanna be anyway.

You probably wanna get your stuff first!

[talkstoknives]

Ah- [It's a little strange to hear a stranger calling her by just her first name but she'll let it slide for now and nod.] - I didn't know I had luggage.

[kenpo_kitty]

[[It was the only name she provided! It's the only thing Uriko knows to call her.]]

Well, you know, your clothes, and whatever stuff you might've had with you... I dunno... a bag or phone or something?

[talkstoknives]

[Usually it's a matter of using honorifics...but then again, Masaomi clearly just calls her Anri as well. But Masaomi is weird like that too.]

I think I'd like to get my clothes first. Ah, um, is there some kind of luggage fee that I'll have to pay?

[kenpo_kitty]

[[Ahh, Uriko stopped using them a while ago... She's been here a whole, yanno.]]

Oh, no! There's no money here at all. Even if there was, it's not like we could pay it.

[[There she goes, so, ya better keep up!]] See, there's this shop where everyone's stuff pops up. People usually don't take what's not theirs, but sometimes stuff kinda goes missing too. But your clothes, they'll definitely be there! And there's a nother shop where you can get some new stuff too. [[Totally giving the verbal tour!]]

[talkstoknives]

[As long as Uriko isn't going super fast, Anri should be able to keep up!]

Isn't all that really strange?

[kenpo_kitty]

[[Nah, she's considerate of the new girl keeping up.]]

Well, when you get here, yeah... It's a little odd. But, well, we're all stuck here all the same, so we kinda work together like that.

[talkstoknives]

["We..."] Are there very many people here as well?

[The chamber in the Battle Dome seemed empty enough.]

[kenpo_kitty]

Lots! Were just in one little place. There might be like a hundred people? Maybe.

[talkstoknives]

And no one's noticed that everyone's been missing from their homes...?

[kenpo_kitty]

You mean here? We all know we're not home. But uhh... like back home. No...

It's kind of weird. Even though I think you'll remember being here, when you do get to go back, it's like the same moment that you left to come here. So, it's like you weren't gone at all...

[talkstoknives]

[For someone to know that...]

...that means people have gone back home and returned.

[kenpo_kitty]

Yup! Even I got to go back for a day, but it was a couple of years ago that happened... It was like I was never missing.

[talkstoknives]

But it would've been strange. You'd have been dressed different...and looked a little more different...
