[ A - Action - 912 Bilko Boulevard - morning ]

[When Izumo wakes up, she freezes, staring at the unfamiliar ceiling--the unfamiliar surroundings. She could probably scream or yell or thrash--but now, instantly shocked into alertness, she stays silent but jerks up in her bed, surprised to find her long hair black instead of its usual purple and

What, you haven't figured out the mechanics of this place yet?

[bittybrows]

Depends on exactly where this place is. It's definitely not Kyoto.

[secretgod]

It's not anywhere in Japan, that's for sure. Welcome to Mayfield, the not-so-happy town in so-called 1950s America.

[bittybrows]

Over fifty years ago and thousands of miles away?

[Look, Izumo, a kindred tsundere spirit, looking similarly lost and sulky.

Mirai is wandering around the downtown area, trying to get answers out of drones and only becoming frustrated. She turns to give Izumo a dark look.]

Hey, you! What's your name?

[bittybrows]

[Cue a quirked eyebrow.]

Kamiki Izumo. Looks like you're not a mindless drone, either.

[teddy_roughsin]

[--Oh, she wasn't really expecting a normal response. She pauses for a moment, blinking, and then straightens up a bit, looking haughty.]

Wakaba Mirai. You're the first person I've seen outside that isn't one, either. This whole town is full of people like that. There has to be something in the water.

lmao omg they really will be the best tsun... frenemy things

[bittybrows]

[IZUMO, SHE IS UNINTIMIDATED. 8|]

There's one in the house I was tossed into, but the other two are alive.

[forever_cheery]

[Well, there's someone in the kitchen. A young woman with incredibly long hair, looking over a cook book as she gets some ingredients ready from the fridge. She's murmuring to herself. Also? She's floating. Just a few inches off the ground while reading the book and murmuring to herself.]

So, just... a few eggs, chop up some onions and... sausage?

[bittybrows]

[Holy shit, you are floating. But this is not as surprising to Izumo as it would be to any other teenage girl, so her oddly-shaped eyebrows shoot up--and then sink down into suspicion.]

...who are you?

[forever_cheery]

[Aurora makes a surprised noise, and stops in mid-float.] Eep! Ah! What? Who're you?

[bittybrows]

I asked first.

A, HI NOT!DAUGHTER. ;u;

[drommar]

[He looks a little confused, you know, but that's because he's new too! And it's totally strange for a kid to disappear only to be replaced with another.]

Good morning!

HI, NOT!DADDY. IN A FEW MINUTES YOU WILL REALLY BE WISHING YOU WERE NOT HER DADDY, LOL

[bittybrows]

[HAVE A SUSPICIOUS GLARE. WHO ARE YOU, STRANGE PERSON. Another kid?]

Who are you? And why is it morning?

[This is totally flat and devoid of friendliness. Um. Have fun with that, yep.]

i think the appropriate answer here is NO U.

[drommar]

[At that, he smiles, friendly as ever. Yes, that would be you!]

You've just awoken. That's how it usually is, or so Aurora told me. [Baldr, you've only been here for a few days, why are you so calm about this]

I'm Baldr. What about you? What's your name?

xD

[bittybrows]

[ALL HE GETS IS A MORE SUSPICIOUS LOOK.]

...Kamiki Izumo. What do you mean, "how it usually is?"

[dualizes]

Unfortunately the operators in this town will be of little to no help for you, Kamiki-san.

[bittybrows]

[Oh, thank God, a familiar voice.]

Okumura-sensei--?

[bittybrows]

[And then an exasperated sigh.]

At least there's one sane person in all this madness.

[dualizes]

Mm, it certainly helps when things here turn ugly. Either way, welcome to Mayfield the best little 1950s American town you've ever been kidnapped by. ( Ah, even sensei has a degree in sarcasm. )

I don't know why or how we came to all be here but we're stuck with no apparent way out. Besides myself, Rin is here too. ( A beat. ) Though I have to offer a word of warning concerning the next, the Earth King is also here.
