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.

How can you tell if nothing or no one here is after your neck? It's a whole buncha strangers, isn't it? You never know who's on your side~

[ Everybody's shady! Can't trust anyone. Except Kano because he doesn't want to have his throat slit, but also nobody should trust Kano. ]

[genrouzan]

I can usually tell when they actually go for my neck.

[ Everyone is shady! He's at zero trust! ]

[suddenlybees]

[ ...Kano slowly reaches out to poke Yuri on the neck. ]

[genrouzan]

[ He snaps out a hand and grabs for his wrist, moving himself to the side. ]

[suddenlybees]

Ahh, I give, I give! I surrender!!

[ Like his little poke would have done anything! It might have. He could have a hidden blade in his sleeve or something. ]

[genrouzan]

[ Wow. ]

You folded like a house of cards, huh?

[suddenlybees]

[ He folded like one single card trying to stand on its edge, flopping over without so much as a breeze. ]

Eh~ Give me a break... Isn't it just that you're super strong? Wow! Lightning fast reflexes and everything!

[genrouzan]

[ A masterclass in Giving Up. ]

Nah, I'm just average strong. [ He is not average strong. But he's not super strong either. ]

[suddenlybees]

[ Sure is ]

That sorta stuff is relative, right? I bet you're super super strong! No need for modesty— believe in yourself like I believe in you!!

[genrouzan]

Nope. I already told you.

[ He's gone back to reading over the writing one more time. ]

Believing only gets you so far, nice as the intention may be.

[suddenlybees]

"So far" is still pretty far, though, isn't it? It's further than nothing!

[ Still means shit, but whatever. Kano looks back over Yuri's shoulder... ]

Sooooo... Are you gonna murder, or don't?

[genrouzan]

You're pretty fixated on this murder thing, huh? Maybe I'm not the one we should be keeping an eye on.

[suddenlybees]

Murder? Lil' ol' me? Nah, nah~ You don't have to worry about me~ I de~finitely won't murder or stab anybody in the neck or anything like that!

[ Lay off him! He's just a normal-ish boy. Only murders in cat form. ]

[genrouzan]

[ Hm. ]

Sure.

[ Kid. That was suspicious as all hell. ]

Maybe that little extra warning was for you after all.

[suddenlybees]

Yeah, like I'd listen to a warning written on a chunk of rock in the first place. It's fine! It's fine. No murderers here. If anybody turns up dead in the next two months, it's totally not my fault~

[ He's going to turn around and leave now. Yeah. Slip away into the crowd, stab a few necks, escape unseen. ]

[genrouzan]

[ staaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaare. ]
