Hello?

[ The screen fades in slowly and the first thing that comes to clarity is a gray-haired teenager. Behind him is the recognizable almost gaudy style of the hotel. The teenager stares for several moments before speaking: ]

Ah. There it is.

[ And that's that. Now he's staring again, with his light gray eyes, almost waiting as if you will answer him immediately--at least for a few more moments. ]

The travel brochure says we're in Prospero Island in America. How did we get here? This doesn't seem like a school trip.

[ He is almost emotionless--stoic--his words lacking any trace of what he's feeling or thinking. ]

I don't remember boarding a plane.

[ Something stirs behind him, in the bed. Rather, someone. The teenager hears it and turns around, watching as a black-haired girl slowly sits up from the bed. She looks at the boy, looking rather surprised. ]

Huh? Wha-? ... Where am I? Who are yo--oh, I remember you. What are you doing here?

Ah. [ Souji looks back to the phone then to the girl. ]

We're on Prospero Island. I woke up earlier and was in this room with you.

[ The girl however is staring at the phone--at the feed, realizing something unscrupulous may have just occurred. While she was asleep. She cuts him a sharp glance. ]

What do you mean by that? You just happened to wake up here with me?

[ The boy, unabashed: ] Yeah. [ A very minor pause before continuing: ] If you want to use the shower, the bathroom is behind this table...

I think someone must have kidnapped us.

[ The feed cuts off. ]





[ OOC: Dual intro! Both Souji Seta and/or Yukiko Amagi will respond accordingly. ]

Kidnapped is perhaps the best word for it, I'm afraid. Good sir and madam, I know of no way to return you home at this present time.

Kidnapped? But by who?

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

That is the mystery to solve!

[ He gives her an insightful look. ]

There are others like us?

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

[ No way to return home? There's a sudden sickness in the pit of her stomach as Yukiko listens to the other's words. ]

No way at all?

[Video]

[harpbeat.livejournal.com]

None at all. [She has sympathy.]

[Video]

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

Does that mean we're stuck to this hotel building..?

[ She hasn't had much time to see if they can leave, but if they were kidnapped, this was the quickest assumption she can make. ]

[ He'll stand up finally, though he won't exactly approach Yukiko, seeing how sketchy this all seems. ]

You're not hurt, are you?

action; strolls up into my own intro post all late and shit

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

No. [ Sorry, she's not quite courageous enough to meet his gaze. ] I feel fine.

If we both have been kidnapped, don't you think we should leave this room? What if our abductor returns to harm us?

fashionably late gurl

[eats-science.livejournal.com]

That's good.

[ Really it's a good thing. She was sleeping so peacefully before. ]

Ah. I don't think our abductor will return any time soon. I've been awake for almost four hours now.

[ What is no ranks in understanding ]

If it helps, you guys aren't the only ones here against your will. Everyone listed in your phone contacts was brought from their home world.

I'm Saori Nakagawa and it's a pleasure to meet you.

[video]

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

Everyone here?

[ There's a pause as she fiddles with the smartphone, lips scrunching up in contemplation. ]

There's so many names listed here... Who would do this?

[video]

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid no one has answers yet. We just know they have enough power to pull people from many different worlds.

[video]

[eats-science.livejournal.com]

[ Hey Saori Nakagawa sounds Japanese maybe she would know!!! ]

Is there any way to get back home? I have school tomorrow.

[video]

[needsteaplz.livejournal.com]

I'm afraid going back home isn't an option. We're not even in our own universe. It might look like the same compared to your home world, but it's not. There have been those who left here but no one knows how they did it.

So the only option we have available is to stay here until a solution is found.

[rocker]

I am not entirely sure if 'kidnapped' is the right word for it, but you were indeed taken to this place.

[ pokerface. :| ]

[ video ]

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

If we weren't kidnapped, then why were we brought here?

Why was I brought here? There are things I must do in Inaba!

[ video ]

[rocker]

So far, the exact purpose has remained unclear to me. I am sure it will reveal itself in due time, though.

And I suppose all of us have duties back home. [ well, he not really, technically.. ] Unfortunately they will have to wait.

[ video ]

[eats-science.livejournal.com]

[ roma roma-ma-ah... :|a ]

If there's no kidnapper, then they could have at least asked first.

[ video ]

[rocker]

[ want your bad romance.. ]

I fear the problem with that is that we do not know who exactly brought us to this place.

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ Oh, hi guys. Who is this totally scary looking guy wearing a Yasogami High uniform in his own unique way? ]

Had to be pretty damn desperate to kidnap a bunch of kids from somewhere like Inaba.

[video]

[innheritance.livejournal.com]

[ !!! ]

Kanji-kun! [ Without hesitation. Why that may even bit a hint of relief behind her voice. ] You're here too?

[ Wait, that was a dumb question. Sheepish, her gaze travels from the phone to the floor. ]

S-Sorry. That's a dumb question.

[video]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

[ Oh Yukiko, never change. He was almost tempted to smile but nopenope keeping up his bad boy facade for now. Despite like the entire island knowing his BIG BAD SECRET due to stupid technology. ]

Don't worry about it too much, Amagi-senpai. Pretty sure I asked dumber questions when I first got here. You alright?

[ video ]

[eats-science.livejournal.com]

You're from Yasogami High too?

[ Souji is also wearing his school uniform in his own unique way. But seriously, bleach-blonde hair, scar above the temple? What next? Tattoos!? ]

Ah. I don't know you.

[ video ]

[renovate-you.livejournal.com]

Yeah. You new or something?

[ It's not like he goes to class that often, but Kanji does sort of stalk around the town looking for ways to prove his manliness trouble. And he's pretty sure he hasn't seen this guy before! ]

Seems like you know Amagi-senpai. You two friendly? [ Totally not trying to imply anything nope... ]
