1. Arrival
[Bazett Fraga McRemitz wakes up with a start. Her head is heavy and her body feels strange in a way that she can't put her finger on.]
What happened?
[A quick look around tells her that this isn't her Japanese hotel room. For one thing, it's too large and the furnishings are completely different. For another, there's the conspicuous abscence of her personal items...including her container for Fragarach.]
Where? Where is it?
[It is not until she springs out of bed to look for Fragarach that she notices the caucasian man in the bed lying next to where she had been shortly before.]
Is this a joke? What's going on? Where am I? How much did I have to drink last night?
[The questions occupy her thoughts for a couple seconds before she calms down. First, she would wake the man up and make him tell her where she was and what had happened. Then, she would find a way to return to her hotel room in time to meet with Tohsaka and Edelfelt to discuss possible actions to deal with the Eighth Card. A quick glance down shows that she is at least still wearing her dress shirt and pants. Her jacket and tie are thrown casually over a chest next to the bed. Her shoes are gone, but there are two pairs of slippers next to the door. She slips on the smaller pair before shaking the man awake.]
***
[Bazett scowls as she opens the door and steps out into what seems to be be a living room. No matter what questions she asked, the man had only smiled and reassured her that she had always been a resident of the house that they were in and that he was her husband. He seemed odd, almost like he had been drugged. In the end, frustrated at the lack of progress, she had considered hitting him, but settled for flicking him in the head instead. After all, he appeared to be a normal person and was not actively obstructing her mission. It had still been enough to knock him out, though, and she decided to leave him be. He was no help anyway.]
[The house seems to be empty except for her and the man. Only a hallway with closed doors and several pairs of shoes, including hers, at the door indicate that there are other residents. Her stomach grumbles and she steps into the kitchen, flipping through the refrigirator and pantry for things that she could immediately eat. She does not have the time to prepare a proper meal.]
[After gobbling down a couple bites of dry cereal, Bazett puts on her shoes and jacket and heads out of the house. Perhaps someone nearby could have a better explanation for all of this.]
2. Outside
[Bazett continues walking along the street of cookie-cutter suburban American houses. After meeting some of the other "residents," she had a better idea of her current situation. It was clear that she had to find a way back to Fuyuki as soon as possible.]
[Just then she senses a familiar presence. Instead, it feels more like a Card bound to a human, but it is still different from what she had felt from the Magical Girls that she had fought...]
[Her entire body tenses. Though she feels lighter and weaker than usual, she is still ready to attack at a moment's notice. Even if the cards are all supposed to be in Fuyuki, might there be other unknown cards, including ones lurking here? She has seen what the Cards could do, and she refuses to let them cause any more havoc than they might already have.]
3. Bar
[Bazett sighs as she sits down at the bar. Never mind that it is still morning--she needs a drink now. The events of the day had been enough to make her head spin. Apparently, she is going to be confined to Mayfield for an extended period of time. She just hopes that wherever they are, Tohsaka's and Edelfelt's proteges would be able to keep an eye on the seven collected cards. She does not expect them to be able to capture the unknown card, but she does expect them to keep Fuyuki in one piece until she could return.]
