This was...strange.

Tohru hadn't remembered getting to the nearby train station or even getting on any train. As she felt herself being strung along by the other people on there, particularly by the conductor, she couldn't help but wonder about why she was even there to begin with.

"Excuse me..." Carefully, she reached out to the person nearest her, her hand shaking a little.

This day was not going according to plan. And of all the days for such a thing to happen, it had to be today... his birthday.

Akihiko had no idea how he even managed to get here. It just happened somehow, as he was walking out the door.

Suddenly, his thoughts were interrupted by a small voice and a shaking hand. Turning around to notice a frightened little girl, he quickly became alert.

"Yeah? Is everything okay?" He immediately let out a small sigh upon hearing himself talk. How could everything be okay in this situation?

Taking a step back, Tohru pulled her hand away as well. For some reason, he reminded her of Yuki. Maybe it was his hair color or his demeanor? Though, it did serve to comfort her a little at least, even if she was still terribly confused.

"Ahh... Please, Sir, could you tell me where we are? I think I'm a little lost." she replied politely.

[ipunchyouout]

There was quick response to that question.

"I'd tell you... but I can't say I know, either." The girl seemed nice enough, but hearing her call him sir made him feel a bit older than he thought he was. Showing no weakness, he continued. "We should ask around. Somebody here is bound to know something."

He took a moment to glare at the pink-haired woman who was speaking before. Not only did she seem to be the cause of this, there was just something about her that seemed off.

Cisqua was not pleased with the current situation.

Ready to throw a tantrum, but wanting to remain calm and proper, she cleared her throat and spoke up. "I won't suppose that anyone knows what's going on here, should I?" She announced to anyone nearby, not directing her voice in any particular direction. Hopefully, there was a decent enough person around to respond.

Unlike most of the others, Madarame had remembered getting on a train in order to get to work. However, he began to notice strange things... and people on board. For instance, some of them wore elaborate costumes that would make the most hardcore cosplayers envious (and enraged). Not that he minded, he liked observing them... in particular, a short girl in pink.

"A tsundere who's wild heart hasn't been tamed yet." He mused.

Unfortunately, he hadn't noticed that he'd been speaking out load and within the girl's earshot. It was very likely that she had, indeed, head him.

Her ears caught the words, and while she wasn't entirely sure what a tsundere was, the man's tone of voice was less than flattering. She quickly turned to face him, noting his suspicious appearance. He definitely wasn't the decent enough person she was hoping for.

"Excuse me, but was that directed at me?" She asked with a forced smile, if only to make a good first impression on him and avoid any unnecessary violence.

Maybe saying that aloud wasn't such a good idea, especially to a tsundere type. He lifted his arms, waving them a little in her direction. "Well, that is the category the character you're cosplaying falls under." Hopefully, she wouldn't find that too offensive. Getting smacked or punched by another girl just wouldn't be good for his reputation.
