intro log.
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.

—Shit! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to... Are you okay?
no subject
Kerthunk.]
Ouch...
[...]
Oh--are you okay? I didn't mean to land on you.
no subject
It's fine. [...] You can get off any time, though.
no subject
[Oh.
He rolls off quickly at that, clearing his throat awkwardly.]
Um...sorry. You okay?
no subject
[After that incredibly awkward moment, he's pushing himself up, reaching down for Minato's hand in case he needs help standing.]
Sorry, maybe I shouldn't have woken you up. Just... It might not be the best idea to nap in a place like this, you know?
no subject
Oh, no... it's okay. I was just a little startled... I mean, I forgot I was in a department store in some weird other dimension.
no subject
[Or maybe that's just an assumption. Either way, he's looking around as he says it.]
no subject
... I don't know about that... things seem okay so far.
I mean, you seem nice.
no subject
[After a moment:]
...Did you read the big pillar in the building with all the weird lights?
no subject
[And yet.]
But sometimes, some things just seem so... [GESTURES...vaguely... and then he sticks his hand back into his pocket] ... that it's not worth worrying over them until we have more concrete info.
no subject
[There he goes... Rambling on...]
no subject
Minato listens to the rambling patiently, and when there's a break...he responds with a simple:]
Maybe. I think looking for more info is a good idea.
Don't worry--we'll find out what's going on here. It might take some time, but I think we'll all be okay.
no subject
[He breathes out, rubbing at his face.]
Sorry, I didn't mean to...
[He waves a hand, indicating whatever vague thing he didn't mean to do. Freak out, probably.]
no subject
It's okay.
You don't have anything to apologize for. This situation is a lot to take in. [For any normal person.]
no subject
You seem pretty okay with it, though...? I mean, I'm used to weird, but this is still weird even for me.
no subject
[... That's a long... long, hard story to explain, he thinks.
It doesn't really matter what the situation is for him. All that matters...is that he's here.]
... Well. I don't know if I'd say I'm completely okay with it, but I guess... for me, it's easier to take things as they come.
no subject
[Or, at least, he doesn't want to disagree again.]
Anyways, sorry, I didn't introduce myself... I'm Hunter. Nice to meet you.
no subject
[At least introductions are safe and easy.]
... Are you going to be okay?
no subject
[He nods, offering a smile.]
Probably. [Probably...] I mean, I've had worse, at least, even if this is... definitely a new one, even for me.
no subject
[It is kind of strange how many people from different places are here... but. He can think about that later.]
It sounds like you've had a crazy life, though, if you've experienced weird stuff on par with this before.
no subject
Ah, no, not really. I mean, it was normal until I turned 16? Things have just been crazy since then. Especially today, even before I came here. It's been... Wild is probably an understatement.
no subject
Really...? Are you sure you're doing okay? Having a stressful day and then coming straight here after...
[That's rough, buddy.]
no subject
Honestly, I'm more worried about the people who were having a stressful day with me that aren't here, you know? I know the pillar said nothing's going to continue until we're all back, but - I don't know. We were all kind of in hot water, apparently.
no subject
[He thinks about that for a long moment.]
... I can't think of a reason why they'd lie about that in particular, but still say things about murder and stuff. If they were trying to keep up complacent... they would've lied about everything, right?
I think...maybe that much is the truth. That back home, things aren't still going.
no subject
Yeah... I think you must be right. Thanks, Minato.
