[So Margarita ran hither and Margarita ran yon and she's no closer to getting out of Mayfield than she was the second she ditched the house she woke up in. Which is, by the sheerest coincidence, the place she's blindly returned to. Oh, 507 Ricardo street, how she's missed you......NOT

[Oh, hey, guess who's also sitting on the curb. And has been. For an indeterminate amount of time.

He can appreciate inner-turned-outer-monologues as much as the next villain, y'know, so it just seems rude to interrupt...]

[knowthestakes]

[notices, finally

jumps like five feet in the air]

Wh-where did you come from, mister?!

[updollsdresses]

That house. [jerks a thumb back at their house]

I believe you did as well.

[knowthestakes]

[looks back toward the house, remembers, frowns]

Y....Yeah, I did.....but it's not my house. I don't know why I woke up there.

[angelic_meister]

[Maka is trotting by and

weird. That girl looked familiar, but she couldn't place it.]

Excuse me, are you okay?

[knowthestakes]

I'll deal with it, I just need to-

[looks up, yelps, starts scrambling away]

H-Hey, you're the girl who wanted my soul!

[angelic_meister]

...What?! I did that to people I didn't even know?! Augh, this is so embarrassing that I could just die.

Um, sorry about that. I was...sick. Really, really sick.

[knowthestakes]

Geez, I'll say. You even attacked me with a broom!

[she stands up and seems to consider Maka carefully]

So....you're a normal girl, then?

[hangedhourai]

*Alice sighs deeply.*

A pity party will not help anyone.

[knowthestakes]

[looks up, frowns]

It's not a pity party, it's a pep talk! And I need it.

[hangedhourai]

It does not matter what you call it. Acting is much more effective than words.

[knowthestakes]

And what do you want me to do, then? Escape? Because I've already tried that, and here's a newsflash: it didn't work.

[iwillstandout]

[A rather prissy little girl just left the house, listening to you speak momentarily before.]

What are you out here talking about?

[knowthestakes]

[jumps a little]

My situation, of course! Who're you?

[iwillstandout]

You may refer to me as Himeko-sama. And unfortunately, your situation will not improve for a while. I would not be surprised if this is the high point.

[knowthestakes]

....pretty bossy, aren't you shorty? And cheerful too. Great....

[kurasuprincessu]

Oh, excuse me! Are you okay?

[knowthestakes]

Not really- I don't know where I am and someone took all my stuff. I guess that means I've been kidnapped, but....

[she flaps her hand, as if to dismiss the matter, and ponders for a moment]

Think you could help a girl out?

[kurasuprincessu]

Yes, I will do my best!

[knowthestakes]

What's the deal with this place? I thought it was all some kind of weird test, but it doesn't really seem like that's the case anymore.

-Oh, sorry, I shouldn't be rude as well as clueless. My name's Margarita Surprise.
