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.

...If I just tell you the last five minutes you aren't going to understand any of it, man.

[Also, almost as an afterthought:]

Okay, but what were you scheming, exactly? Good things or bad things?

[ ... ... ... After several seconds' consideration, Kano decides on a very slow and deliberate ]

Good things.

[ Yeah. Definitely good things. That should be the correct answer in a situation like this. ]

Anyways!! If I don't get the last five minutes, we'll just back up a bit and you can tell me the five minutes before that! Sooner or later, we'll make our way through the whole story~

...Okay.

[He's going to take that at face value, even if he looks uncertain. Anyways! Here he goes.]

Right. Last five minutes. Uh, I think I was still dreaming, I was walking through all these guys in hoods and robes and someone gave me a melon... [It never ends.] And then I woke up, then I fell asleep again, and I was in a library, and there was all this Latin poetry, and the books kept changing.

...What kind of melon was it? Like, a cantaloupe, or a watermelon or what?

[ It's not rewinding back five more minutes, so these sorts of questions should be fine, he thinks. Got to get all the important details straight. ]

[personal profile] counterclocked 2019-12-01 09:00 pm (UTC)(link)
It was exotic. Like, from another country. That was... important, I guess?

[He sounds like he isn't sure either.]

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-12-01 09:03 pm (UTC)(link)
Ohh, a foreign melon... Did you get to taste it or did the dream end before you got the chance? What a waste~

[ Important details. ]

[personal profile] counterclocked 2019-12-01 09:20 pm (UTC)(link)
No, it disappeared. A lot of things kind of disappeared...?

[Dream logic, and all that. But!]

Isn't it your turn? I mean, you talked about the whole scheming thing, but I feel like I'm going into a significant amount of detail on my five minutes.

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-12-01 09:38 pm (UTC)(link)
Huh? But you're not done with your story yet? We're gonna get all mixed up if we keep going back and forth, right? So how 'bout you finish telling me everything first, and then I'll go?

[ Admitting to schemes should be worth at least half an hour of story time, in his opinion. ]

[After a moment:]

Yeah, sure, I'll wait. What else do you want to know, though?
suddenlybees: (084)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-12-02 02:27 am (UTC)(link)
Okay, so, like, the melon...

[ He gestures with his hands, setting them apart and ranging from a tennis ball to a beach ball. ]

How big was it? Was it really heavy— was it sloshy? Or, like, did it feel hollow? What was the texture of the rind?

[After a moment:]

Wait, you only have questions about the melon? I kind of thought you would ask about the situation overall...
suddenlybees: (339)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-12-02 05:36 am (UTC)(link)
...The melon feels really important, with the way you were talking about it?

[ It was the first thing he mentioned, hoping people don't hand him another melon. It's definitely important. Kano can feel it in his bones. ]

Or, what do you think is the most important part?

[personal profile] counterclocked 2019-12-03 04:56 am (UTC)(link)
Probably the time travel...?

[A beat.]

I guess the melon was cool, too, though.
suddenlybees: (024)

[personal profile] suddenlybees 2019-12-03 05:01 am (UTC)(link)
Psh, time travel's sort of overdone, isn't it? It's in all sorts of stories! Not at all interesting, nope~ But melons! When's the last time you heard a story that had melons in it?

[ He is trying very hard to find common ground here. He understands melons. He fixated on the one point he could actually follow. ]
