Hello?

This isn’t home . . . Mama? Jiisan? Souta . . . ?

This is a little too familiar for my tastes.

[louder, almost with a note of desperation to it] Inuyasha?

[Silence.]

This had better not be some kind of trick!

[More silence.]

I have a test today! I don’t have time for this!! Is anyone around

Hullo?

[twinarrows]

[Startled sound, somewhat like "GAH!"]

My pocket?

What's this? This wasn't . . .

Hello??

[lyra_of_dust]

This is a communicator... Where are you?

Oh! My name's Lyra, what's yours?

[twinarrows]

Looks like . . . next to a fountain?

I guess if I came out of a well in the first place, it's not *that* weird . . .

Ah! I'm Kagome, sorry. I have to get used to this.

[so_very_greedy]

Guess that makes you one of the new ones.

[twinarrows]

. . . New ones . . . what?

What kind of place did I fall into?

[so_very_greedy]

Another world, basically. Same as all of us.

[twinarrows]

Not again . . .

I've never gotten lost going through the well before.

Er . . . I'm sorry, but could you tell me where the way out is, please?

[loyallydevoted]

I take it you're new here?

[twinarrows]

I guess so . . . ?

This is like Alice in Wonderland.

[loyallydevoted]

Heh. I guess it is sort of like that, since people from all sorts of different worlds get pulled into this place somehow.

[twinarrows]

[Kagome seems to keep forgetting that this is a voice post and the communicator seems pretty good at picking up her side commentary. Oops.]

So I'm not alone here -- the only one from another place, I mean.

[naiveties]

...Are you alright?

[twinarrows]

I-I'm okay!

. . . Just a little confused.

This definitely isn't home.

[naiveties]

Mm, of course it isn't--none of are really from here exactly.

[twinarrows]

That's not really good . . .

I'm almost afraid to ask, but if everyone here is from a different place, then why doesn't anyone go home?

[so_not_short]

I guess you're another new arrival-- you're in the City now.

[twinarrows]

The City?

Well, it does look like one.

[so_not_short]

Well yeah. That's the name of this place too, actually.

[twinarrows]

Oh.

Maybe I just somehow ended up farther away from home than I thought . . . some . . . impossible way.

I'm sorry, but I'm looking for a shrine . . .
