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.

[ Shocking. No one saw it coming. ]

Most people usually are, kid.

[merrygopound]

It's Mizuki, not "kid".

And it doesn't mean that everyone is. We don't know that a serial killer didn't show up too.

[genrouzan]

If they did, hopefully they'll keep it under control long enough for some of us to find a weapon and knock them down if they try anything.

[ he tilts his head to look at her. ]

Without stooping to their level, if that's what you prefer.

[merrygopound]

All I need is a pipe to make 'em regret doing anything bad.

[ This is probably not a lie for how calmly she says it. ]

[genrouzan]

[ cool, he’s feelin’ it. ]

Pretty efficient deterrent if you ask me. Actually using the pillar it’s written on might have a sense of “poetic justice” to it.

[merrygopound]

I like the sound of that too. I bet "poetic justice" hurts even more.

[genrouzan]

Funnier too.

[ And that is important! ]

Wonder if it’s possible to rip it out without something bad happening. If it’s their method of a bulletin board then maybe it’s a bit better protected than your average architecture?

[merrygopound]

Are you gonna try it?

[ Do it, Yuri. ]

[genrouzan]

[ there’s a pause, and he lifts a foot to plant it on the pillar. he makes a couple of pushing attempts with the force of his body and the Foot, but — ]

It’s pretty well planted. Might be able to crack it in two and use it that way though.

[merrygopound]

... Crack it in two? I could try kicking it.

[ says the tiny 12-year-old. But hey, she's cooler than Karol. ]

[genrouzan]

[ It's not difficult, let's be honest. ]

Nothing's stopping you.

[ Especially not Yuri. ]

[merrygopound]

... Here, back up a little.

[ For Reasons. ]

[genrouzan]

[ He's not even gonna question it, he'll just

back it up.

Go wild, smol girl. ]
