[Kotetsu groggily opens his eyes and begins to stretch. Nothing out of the ordinary here...that is until he realizes he isn't in his bed and there's a strange woman lying next to him. Nope, not something that happens to him on a regular basis. He'll spend a few minutes frantically running around the house, searching for

Action

[forever_cheery]

[There's a girl wandering about, looking pleased as punch with the world right now. She's looking around at everything, familiarizing herself with the town, and generally enjoying herself. Might be hard to tell whether or not she's a drone, but when coming upon Kotestu, she'll wave and greet him.]

Hi!

[justicecrusher]

[Well at least Kotetsu is dense, otherwise he would be ignoring everyone that approaches him for the fear of running into a drone. He waves back slowly.]

Hey. Uh, sorry if this is a rude question, but why are you so happy? Do you even know where we are?

[He's still trying to make sense of this whole situation, and can't understand how someone could be so gleeful while trapped. Maybe she knows something...]

[forever_cheery]

You know, I've only been here for two days and I get asked that a lot. The first part, I mean. Why shouldn't I be happy? And you're in Mayfield. Did you just get here too?

[justicecrusher]

I can understand being happy, because I try to be happy myself! Joking around is my favorite! It's way easier than moping around all the time, no matter how bad things get.

[He finds himself grinning while saying all of this, and quickly gets back on topic.]

I got here just this morning, and from what I've heard about this place it isn't something to smile about. I have people I need to get home to. I dunno about you. But...er, I guess your outlook on this is a good thing, right?

[phone]

[demonoaths]

Not a dream. Besides, if I did kidnap you, I'd strap you down to a surgical table.

[...why does he sound so young?]

[justicecrusher]

[Surgical table, oh god who is this and what is he saying.]

A-ah, well...that would be something I'd expect a kidnapper to do! Not put whoever they kidnap in a house with strangers and make it seem like those people are their family.

[demonoaths]

Exactly. Unfortunately, I'm as much of a prisoner as you are.

[justicecrusher]

Huh. Might just be me, but I don't feel like a prisoner. I just feel confused and far from home for some reason. That's why I don't feel like this is a kidnapping!

Around Town

[elevatoravatar]

[Walking down the street in an odd purple dress is a very pale women with golden eyes and an air of not being QUITE right about her. She'll cheerfully wave to Kotetsu as she goes down the street humming a tune that for some reason or other just pings as creepy]

[justicecrusher]

[Kotetsu is a little suspicious of this one, but nevertheless he's going to give a tiny smile and wave right back.]

Hi there!

[elevatoravatar]

Hello! Are you new to this place? It does seem to be the time that those new souls are brought to this hell... I would like to welcome you.

[She smiles again and bows]

[justicecrusher]

Yup, I got here this morning. My name's Kotetsu!

[He takes in his surroundings for a moment, scratching his chin while doing so.]

Huh. Trapped or not, this place is still really creepy. Not to mention everything looks the same. I'll be lucky to even find my way back to the house I was put in, augh...

[phone]

[wondering_eye]

If you want to find out whether or not it's a dream, why don't you try pinching yourself?

[justicecrusher]

Oh, erm...good idea!

[There is a silence as he does just that, followed by a frustrated groan a few seconds later.]

Yup, still here. Not a dream.

[wondering_eye]

Unfortunately.

What was the alternative you suggested? A terrible kidnapping job? I'd say the kidnapping job was rather thorough, myself. But that's just the way I see it. I'm sure you'll come to agree with me soon enough.

[justicecrusher]

Soon enough? W-what's going to happen to me?

Action - Around Town

[heartstar_blues]

[The Captain is wandering as well, a little tipsy as it's already early afternoon.

Though something about this guy makes The Captain stop and stare a moment.

Then it comes to him.]

That's a goofy looking goatee.

[justicecrusher]

[Kotetsu stares back for a few seconds, frowns, and brings his hand to his chin.]

Hey, it's not that goofy looking!

[heartstar_blues]

Yeah, it is.

But ☠☠☠☠, I've seen worse. Did you know super villains have the dumbest style?

[justicecrusher]

Don't they?! Man, some of them are so over the top about everything! I've seen some pretty awful costumes before.
