( WELCOME BACK, TRAVELERS. )



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. Or did you get something back recently?

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. It might've changed since the last time you saw it.

You might have changed since the last time you saw yourself too - perhaps with a new emblem on your clothes, or a portrait on your skin.

There's no need to fret that much though. You've already gone through the ordeal once, and you might be able to see results from it. Even so, it's best that you don't get too comfortable, because there is still the unshakeable feeling:

There's still much more ahead of you.

[HE SURE IS AND HE'S OLD ENOUGH TO OWN IT!!!

But oh, he's managed to distract her! This would be an accomplishment but honestly he probably doesn't have a high opinion of her attention span. He doesn't try to get her to leave, though; he glances at her, but doesn't answer verbally, continuing to work on his stupid dragon until it starts to look like this.]

[If only Wei Wuxian was a normal person who could read the atmosphere so he didn't add to Wen Ning's general sense of Being Overwhelmed by immediately cupping his face with both hands and leaning in too close! Because that's exactly what he's doing, wow. Granted he's studying Wen Ning with the sort of intensity that is not at all soft and cute - it's more like, to be too on-the-nose, a mortician whose corpse just sat up on the dissecting table. WILD. He turns Wen Ning's face from one side to the other before dropping one hand to his neck to feel for his pulse point.]

Hah— Now that is a good question. [FOR ONCE, HE DOESN'T KNOW... He doesn't even pretend to know because what's the point?? This world is wild and he's just along for the ride.]

Can you feel that? Wait. [MORE IMPORTANTLY.] Those chains - do you remember how you got them?

[Just In Case he really is dealing with some timeline shenanigans... somehow.]

[ Royce is curled up in a corner of the Not-Costco, trying to collect his thoughts - which is the reason he catches the fragmented broadcasts. It makes him jump, and he only just barely catches the jar of pickles he'd knocked into before they drop and shatter to the floor. The jar is about half his size, so this is a sizable effort.

But it's enough to keep him in the store long enough to hear the rattle of chains. His stomach drops. But he goes to investigate anyway.

Royce doesn't take his hood down, but he crouches down in front of the young man, and speaks in a low, British-tinged voice: ]


And what exactly did you do to deserve those chains, hm?
givethemhell: (make you a star)

[personal profile] givethemhell 2020-01-11 04:36 am (UTC)(link)
[First of all, no.]

It hasn't! I only just grabbed it on my way out. There's a nice little food cart in there- [POINTING DOWN at the car below.] -that has a lot of good things to try!

We're in the same situation - there's no reason for you to apologize to me.

After all, I can't tell you much about it, either.

Just UmaPri, mostly. [ rip to my dignity ] But I've played a few others with friends... Actually, a senior of mine was pretty hooked on this one gacha game... Um, what was it...

[ ... ]

An idol game. [ one of the bunch. ] Blade Art Online has a mobage, but it's more like, an anime based on a light novel series... I've read up to the latest release.

[ ??? what a weird thing to do. tsukasa watches her for a moment, now totally distracted from his Why Souls and Where Cat business, and then kinda. scoots closer. ]

...Is, um... Is something wrong?
ittoryu: (s - smile.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 04:39 am (UTC)(link)
[ :/ ]

I see, I see! Then it should be fine. I'll have to see this cart for myself!
ittoryu: (official - 4-stars.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 04:40 am (UTC)(link)
Better than the opposite! I don't know what the future holds, but for now, we should keep our spirits up.

[IT'S DEFINITELY GAY, god... Chuuya blinks at that thought, a faint pink tint coloring his cheeks before he makes a face and yanks his sleeve back down. Ugh, don't be soft about it...]

--yeah, I guess it's not that bad. No idea why it'd be like this, though.

[He turns to face her, and the train, properly this time. A gloved hand gestures at their mode of transport.]

That is not a normal train. Something that’s moving us through incomprehensible spaces and stops — I don’t know of a science that can properly explain it. Magic must be filling in the gaps.

That’s my meaning.
doublesmall: (and dip into when we need)

[personal profile] doublesmall 2020-01-11 04:42 am (UTC)(link)
Huh-- these? They're from home, I had them when I showed up here.

[Marshmallow trails after her as she moves closer to Chuuya, flopping down nearby to observe now that he's not getting attention; Chuuya, meanwhile, is watching her closely, because he has zero clue why they match? What the fuck.]

They were a gift from someone.

I...

[ Hrm. She pockets the emblem instead of pinning it back on her cloak. ]

No, nothing. My family crest has been replaced, that's all.
lightmage: (pic#13673451)

[personal profile] lightmage 2020-01-11 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
But the trains that don't travel between such spaces...?

[ For some reason she's apparently really invested in whether or not normal trains are magic. ]
bywolves: (oh really ok fuck you)

[personal profile] bywolves 2020-01-11 04:44 am (UTC)(link)
[ There's a hint of a smile from the face hiding in the hood. A slender hand comes out from the cloak and picks up a box of tea - it's small enough that he can hold it in one hand, but it has about 300 packets all crammed into it. ]

That tells me something about you, I think. [ Royce says, vaguely amused. ] A man is kidnapped and placed in a world that makes no sense whatsoever, and the first thing he does is look for tea.

A little. I've... never seen a place like this.

[the store in general, he means. it's so bright, and so big, and there's so much-- it's extremely unfamiliar.]

Some kind of... market?

[meanwhile, someone here has never seen a photo before and is fascinated, as he peers more closely at it.]

Such remarkable art! Hahaha, is that me? It really does capture my likeness!
stressweets: There are many different kinds of friends, and many ways to express friendship. Some friends like to run and laugh and play together. But others just like to be left alone, and that's fine too. But the best thing about friendship is being able to make your friends smile. (062. a friend in deed)

Extremely Generic Merchants!!

[ sweets are definitely where tsukasa is, and he gives at start at— her? his? their voice; he'd been looking at a very big box of pocky, actually. it says it has a whopping 500 sticks of pocky in it.

that is. so much pocky. ]


Ah... [ ...there's no way just one person can have it all, so he nods. ] Sure. What were you thinking of getting? I don't really have a preference as far as sweets go - they're all good to me.

[ ............... ]

But I like melon-flavored ones best. ♪ [ what happened to no preference ]

[SOMEDAY... someday, he will find another person who enjoys medicinal soup for dinner.

For now, though, he just inclines his head. FAIR ENOUGH.]


What do you wish to try?

Kind of. Seems like a grocery store.

You'd be surprised how much I can learn from sitting here. It isn't the environment I'm watching out for.

I haven't. [ But. ] Is it near a major city? Colnora, maybe.

That seems to be the general conscientious I feel. [ don't worry, he's gotchu ] But if you consider wandering my way in without any sort of clue to where this is, then yes, I did.
ittoryu: (f - :o.)

[personal profile] ittoryu 2020-01-11 04:49 am (UTC)(link)
So many options... Perhaps these bags?
