[Anyone close to or passing room 301 of the Bay View hotel this morning will hear a very sudden and loud ruckus. Its new resident is tearing the place apart in a frantic rush, trying to figure out where he is and what happened. He'd worked so hard to get out of the underground labor camp, and was only out for less than a day before he woke up... wherever he was now. He could only assume the yakuza screwed him over once again, and he was furious.

Finding no clues in the room itself, Kaiji flings the door open and dashes out, looking for the nearest exit. He at least needs to find out where he is.

That place is not Tokyo. Not even close. Excuse him while he gawks in shock at his new surroundings.

It's at this point he realizes there's a cell phone in his pocket. He doesn't have his own, and he doesn't recognize any of the names on it. He'll manage to get the call broadcast to everyone, though.]

I don't know who's sick idea of a joke this is, but I want an explanation now! We had an agreement! There would be none of your fine print bullshit! I was to have three weeks in Tokyo, not-- not wherever the hell this is. Send me back!

[Later, residents will find Kaiji wandering about the town, still in a bit of shock. Maybe he's calmed down a little more at this point too. Maybe. Feel free to approach him before the call, after, or return his call. I might be a good idea to catch him before he's out too late...]

[Kaiji shakes his head.]

Look where you're-- [He scrambles to his feet, looking around. Time for questions.] This is a hotel? Where you staying here?

[April blinks at him, before also getting onto her feet.] Yeah, it's a hotel. And I've been staying in the room right there. [Points to the room next door to Kaiji's.]

[His mind races for moment. April's a woman, so he's thinking she's probably not involved.]

Did someone-- Last night, did you hear anything? In the room next door!

[April blinks and shakes her head.]

Nope, I haven't heard anything from that room until today... Though I only got dumped here a few days ago.

You got dumped here? Did you just wake up in a room here?

Yep. One minute I was with my friends, and then the next minute I'm here. And it seems like quite a few people have been brought here too.

So there are others? You have no idea how this happened, who caused it?

Yeah, there are others. But I don't know who is behind this or how we got here. Nobody really knows anything right know.

[He was about to ask something, but stops. He answered it on his own. He grimaces.]

I need to get out of here.

[And with that, he heads towards the stairs again.]

[And for a moment April lets him and just gives him a nod as she moves to go back to her room, before remembering that she forgot to warn him about the whole 'shadow-demons come out a midnight' thing.]

Um, hey, wait a sec, there's something I forgot to tell you!

[He does stop, but just looks over his shoulder at her.]

[She knows that she'll sound insane if she flat out says 'shadows come out at night and will try to maul you', so let's try another way of saying it.]

This will probably sound weird, but make sure you're inside at midnight. It gets really dangerous at that time, especially if you're on your own.

...What does that mean? I can handle anything "dangerous".

[April frowns as she tries to think of a way to explain it without sounding completely crazy.]

... I can't really explain it, mainly cause I don't think you would believe me and I would just sound crazy. But it's the "dangerous" that will try and kill you, and you probably wouldn't stand a chance.

[He thinks it over a moment. She seems like she's being genuine, at least...]

I can take care of myself. But thanks for the head's up, I guess. [Off he goes!]
