[Action]

[One moment she was wearing a (admittedly silly) pair of cat ears while shooting a tranquilizer at a Blade Child. The next, she was somewhere else completely.

Hiyono can't help but be surprised. The switch seemed almost instantaneous; the school setting changed to a cityscape, and one with a strange green sky to boot. It was all so impossible, she seriously wondered if she hadn't fallen asleep on her feet and started dreaming.

Still, she keeps her guard up, gripping the tranquilizer gun in her hands like it was her last lifeline. And in her condition, it really could be. She is only too aware of how weak her body is, having lost so much blood so recently. The wound may have been treated, but she would need a blood transfusion if she wanted to recover anytime soon. Even now, she couldn't help but lean heavily against a nearby wall for support, her legs wobbling beneath her.

It's as she is slowly making her way forward when she first sees it. A shadowy blob, approaching her menacingly. Her mind racing, she gives a short scream as she points her gun at it.]

YEEEEK!

[The airgun is fired, producing a relatively slight sound. Although the shadow takes the hit, it continues sluggishly towards her. It doesn't take a genius to realize she probably can't take this thing down on her own- whatever it is.]

H-help! Someone, help!

That's amazing, but... What do you mean by "back to normal"?

You'll see. So tell me what your home was like.

[She glances about.]

It wasn't much different from this. If the sky were blue and there weren't any monsters or coffins, this could be a neighborhood in my city.

[Her gaze settles on a product.]

...Well, maybe if the writing were in Japanese, too.

It's nicer in the day. More normal.

Then outside of this hour, it may turn out to be a lot like my home after all.

Would you mind explaining a little more about this place? Where is it, exactly?

Prospero, the island off the coast of the continental US that, to just about everybody who comes here, never existed in their worlds. Seems pretty normal, except for this.

[Different worlds, huh...?

...Well, after those monsters, Hiyono's a bit more willing to believe this sort of thing. Monsters - at least, the ones that looked like those Shadows - were not the type of creature one would ever see in her world, much less at night under a green sky when everyone else appears to be locked in coffins.]

That would explain your skeleton, I suppose.

So if I have this right, people from different worlds are randomly finding themselves here? Do we know why? And for that matter, what decides whether or not we will be able to experience this hour instead of being inside of those coffins?

The coffins are the natives. People originally from here.

So only the people who were dragged here are able to move freely during this time... Interesting.

Is there anything that sets us apart from the natives, aside from being from different worlds?

Non-coffining and Persona. That's about it so far.

Hmm. And I doubt any of us match each other closely in history or personality...

[She sighs, wearily sitting back against a nearby shelf.]

I just wish I knew what was going on here...

People are working on it, I guess.

Do you happen to know who? If I could get their names, I'd like to ask them about it.

Supposedly not a great time for anyone. You can ask on the network, though.

Network?

[Guess who still hasn't noticed the phone in all of the confusion.]

*pulls out her phone* We all have the same one. Pre-loaded contact list, too.

[With a couple of blinks, she feels around in her pocket and finds an identical phone. Interesting.]

And the contact list would include... Others like us, I would assume?

Ten points to you.

[She scrolls through the list, noting the names.]

So which of these would be you?

Mila Kawena. Your name?

*Not like she's going to use it.*

Hiyono. Hiyono Yuizaki. It's nice to meet you, even though the circumstances are a little...

Nice meeting you too, Catgirl. It'll probably get better.

Wha-

C-c-c-CATGIRL?!]

*shrug* Catgirl.

Wh-what's up with that weird nickname?!
