welcome mingle

( AND SO IT BEGINS. )

There's nothing but the clatter of train tracks, and the odd feeling of almost floating.

When you wake, it's hard to tell exactly what it is that you're missing - only that you are. There are pieces that aren't quite right, even if you're not sure where those pieces would normally be. Pieces of what, exactly....? Well, if you had to put a word to it, it would be - yourself, probably.

The place you've found yourself in is strange, certainly. It's probably worth exploring a bit. Though it just as easily seems that the only form of welcome or explanation that you have, comes from nothing more than a slab of marble.

Well - that, and all the people who seem to have woken up alongside you, lost and also probably Doing Their Best™.

There's no need to fret that much though. It's hard to say exactly where you're going next, even though some places might feel a little bit more like a clue, but what you do know is one unshakeable thing:

There's still much more ahead of you.

Comments

[messianic]

Oh--thanks.

[With all of the strange people here, it's strangely comforting to meet someone else who seems--well, somewhat familiar in that way.]

It's nice to meet you too, Mizukume-san. I forgot to ask before--did you need something?

[foxweddings]

Not at all.

[This binch]

I simply thought it unwise for you to be sleeping in such an unfamiliar place where you could be killed at a moment's notice for all we know. I don't particularly trust this area.

[messianic]

[Well. That's a fair and valid worry that Minato apparently did not think about.]

I guess so...

But so far nothing's happened, so I guess that's a good sign. Everyone's been pretty kind, I think.

[Including the lady who dumped his ass on the ground.]

[foxweddings]

... I know I just praised your manners but really, you should be a little more wary as a matter of self-preservation!

[This is just really offputting for one who is ready to drown you lots the second it seems beneficial to her?]

Though I will at least agree that everyone seems... mild compared to some of the other people I have met in my day. We've all been kidnapped and yet half of them are out shopping for groceries.

[messianic]

[There, there, Tamamo, it's okay.

Who needs self-preservation!! He'll drown for you any day.]

I guess people adjust whatever way they need to, to cope with the situation. I'm sure that when the time comes... they'll work hard too.

[foxweddings]

[Hm bad take it back immediately

Also he is really tripping off her shonen senses right now]

We shall see, won't me?

In any case, find a better place to nap. Perhaps the train? At least if it leaves, it won't leave you behind, I assume.

[messianic]

[....Ah.

That's...]

... You're very kind, aren't you, Mizukume-san. Thank you for worrying for me. I'll be careful.

[foxweddings]

Kind, me?

[...]

Well yes, of course. I can't seem to help myself from mothering you lot, even if I've just met you~

[Gonna reach over and give him a gentle pat on the head? Terrible]

Come, let me escort you to the train so you don't fall asleep somewhere else.

[messianic]

[Head pats! Which he accepts with as much easy grace as everything else she's done.]

You really don't mind...? I got a little lost in this store, to be honest.

[foxweddings]

I am a seasoned traveller and can find my way around most places~ Just leave it to your friendly and reliable Mizukume-chan!

[Gesturing for him to get up and join her!!]

[messianic]

[Sugoi, reliable Mizukume-chan.

He does indeed obediently get up to follow!

And as he does:]

That sounds like it's a useful skill... we're probably going to be lucky to have you here, judging by the situation so far.

I'll be relying on you for sure, then, Mizukume-san.
