[Lion had admittedly been harboring the feeling that something unusual would happen today. Randomly appearing in a place that wasn't even the least bit familiar wasn't exactly it.

The poor headphoned boy had ended up wandering for about... what was it? An hour? Two hours? Before finally giving up on the thought that he had taken a wrong turn somewhere. However he got here, it wasn't a place he'd ever seen before, and not a thing here was familiar, though he could sense some strange, foreboding feeling, like his gut was telling him there was something weird about this place.

Not that he had any idea what, and he had simply dropped onto the nearest thing that seemed even remotely like it could be sat on (what was that sign he had just passed? Felix's Finds? He didn't remember). However, a quick, unusual pressure against his leg made him dig into his pocket curiously, coming out with... a phone that certainly wasn't his. Had he been reversed pick-pocketed or something?

Curiosity had gotten the better of him, though, and a quick look through the phone offered some sort of conversation option, and it was better than wandering around like a lost rat in a maze, even if this idea seemed silly.]

Could someone tell me exactly where I am? I'm kind of... lost. [A pause, then a second text.] Atsuro, Yuzu, if you're here somewhere, let me know, okay?

[Huh, look, that person looked lonely. V/V would just walk right up to them, then.]

Your ears are strange.

[AKJDSKJSJKDS WAS NOT EXPECTING THAT. Lion almost falls off his psuedo-seat, blinking up at the lady who just came over.]

My... ears look strange?

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

They're all white. And then have these little wires sticking out the top.

[Blink. Annnnd now he's laughing.]

These aren't my ears, they're my headphones. [He pulls them off to demonstrate.]

[heavenscorpse.livejournal.com]

Your ears came off! [Surprise, before she tilts her head to think about it a little.] What do headphones do?

[He's a little confused how she doesn't know this, but maybe she's just never used them before. It's odd to him, but sometimes he doesn't know what the hell Atsuro's talking about, so it might fit in the same category.]

They play music. [He tries to put them over her ears, turning on a track from his player (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=b7Ows7JJxN4).]

[The past few days have been rather tiring. Even after defeating the Shadow from the last full moon, and stopping the zombies, Atsuro's been busy compiling information, data and updating the database.

It's when his phone signaled a message that he stops and read the message.]

i'll just let you know when it ends

[babel_hacker]

[Huh, a new arrival? Time to break out the usual explana--]

[babel_hacker]

[WAIT THAT'S HIS NAME. AND IT MENTIONED YUZU'S AS WELL.]

[babel_hacker]

[Judging from the text, it's clearly not Naoya, sooooo...]

[Video] END

[babel_hacker]

[FORGET TEXT. VIDEO TIME.]

Lion!

[Video]

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

[His phone kind of pings a video at him, and Lion's a little confused until he sees who's on the other end.]

Atsuro! There you are! So you're around here somewhere too?

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

[To be honest, seeing Lion on the screen surprised Atsuro, before relief and then worry come.]

Yeah, I am! I'm at one of the school dorms right now, so where are you?

[Video]

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

I....

[Pause.]

...have no idea.

[Video]

[babel_hacker]

What's around you? You could be either in the shopping district, business district, the park...

[Getting ready to leave. Yeah, forget school, he'll explain away his absence later.]

[ An enormous man watches you in silence as you wander randomly. ]

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

[And it's kind of hard for Lion not to notice that, but he doesn't seem all that bothered.]

Hello.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

You are lost, aren't you?

[sapere-audea.livejournal.com]

Yeah... I have no idea where I am.

[greyerrant.livejournal.com]

PErhaps I can help you. Would you be so kind as to accompany me to the hotel?

He's probably at the dorms.
