( 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.

Our situation has all the elements of it, so it's not really surprising. Not that I have any experience of it myself IRL.

[ did he just say IRL.... wow ]

Well, congrats. You will now.

Nice. Time for my protag debut.

[ he's a manchild, im so sorry ]

Is this your first time too?

I've been here for at least a month.

[ so he has been on a longer adventure as a protag ]

I was kind of surprised to see new faces...

I'm that late for the event? Jeez.

[ he takes another look at the slab. ]

Maybe that means that this place needs our help more than ever. We're probably not the only that're broken around here, for all I know.

Oh, there definitely has to be some other reason we're here that we're not being told.

[ the secondary plot is out there somewhere, probably ]

But we haven't met whoever is messaging us yet.

Damn.

[ what the fuck do you mean there's no cute npc to greet us on the start of our journey ;_; ]

Well, it can't be hard to figure out what kind of person our mysterious kidnapper is. The writing on this slab tells me that we're dealing with a fifteen-year-old who's trying real hard to sound cute on paper. Totally not my type.

That sounds like the most obnoxious kind of person...

[ this is funny with context

but he shrugs ]

Or it's someone who's trying to act like that.

Probably. It's easy to change up your typing styles on the Internet, so it's possible that OP's just lulling us into believing that they're an airhead.

They did manage to pull us from various worlds, after all.

[ OP.......... ]

Uh huh. It'll be hard to tell until we meet them. If we do.

So what do we do till then?

Figure out what we can do til then?

We might go to another new place.

A new unlocked location...

[ hm, hm. ]

Well, LMK if we're gonna be off. Don't wanna be late for it.

You must be incomprehensible to so many people.

[ ok sorry he just

had to comment on it ]

[ no, it's only fair ]

So's the marble slab that's encouraging murder. But you still get what I'm trying to say, right?

Uh huh.

[ he's a 15 year old who uses the internet and plays games, of course he understands ]

Hopefully you're also not encouraging murder, at least.

[ oh thank god, a fifteen year old who actually LIKES that kind of stuff ]

Realistically speaking, I'd be the first guy to kick it. But if you guys managed to hang on for a full month, I guess we can keep it up for a while longer.

Well, if you decide to do anything really stupid, make sure someone else is with you.

[ he can't say don't do anything stupid because like

sometimes it just happens ]

[ so he's encouraging stupidity instead... well, better that than killing each other, itaru muses. ]

I'll behave, don't worry. 'Sides, I'm pretty sure the other newcomers here are way ahead of you.

... yeah.

[ figures ]

Just don't get too ahead of yourself.

You don't wanna goof around? You're still a kid, after all.

[ the role reversal is getting to him a bit ]

Who has time for any of that?

[ he's bad at the being a kid part ]

You're in high school, right? There's still time to act like one while you can.

Everyone I know who's my age and acts like a kid is a moron.

Not everyone.

[ yuki and azami and even muku are responsible in their own rights despite being 14-15, it's unnatural ]

But we might as well do something crazy and stupid with someone before we all go back to the real world. YOLO and all that.
