[The first thing Souji realized upon awakening was that he was drowning.

Ice-cold, crystal clear and blindingly bright water flooded his vision, the sky and distant peaks of buildings shifting above the ripples of the surface only making him

[Neku was just wandering around rather bored with nothing to do when... Was that guy soaked?]

... Did you jump into the fountain or something?

[foolhardiness]

[While that would usually be a pretty stupid question... It doesn't bother Souji much at all. Maybe he did somehow figure jumping into it would be a good idea. He lifted a shoulder in a shrug.]

I'm... Not sure. I can't remember jumping into it.

[ifeelsoepic]

[With the amount of strange people here he wouldn't be surprised if the guy really did. But really? How can he not be sure if he did or not. You'd think that's not something one would forget easily, especially in this weather]

Right, you just woke up in it then for no reason.

[foolhardiness]

[You'll just have to... Give him a while to adjust, Neku. At least he hasn't bombarded you with questions yet; for all intents and purposes, his confusion remained hidden quite well.]

That's right. [What, is there something strange about that? Yes? Go figure.]

[Nanako just happened to be out for a walk when she noticed someone in the fountain. She paused, wondering if she should go get help when the person sat up and--]

B-Big bro--!?

[foolhardiness]

[If it wasn't the water that would make him choke, the sight of a familiar face would do the trick nicely -- except, he sort of had more composure than that, and instead met the young girl with nothing more than widened eyes as he stepped towards her.]

Nanako...?

[allthejunes]

You're...you're....you're here!! You're really here! [omg she's so excited. She's just rushing up to Souji and giving him a big hug even though he's wet. But she didn't care right now.]

[foolhardiness]

Ah-- [Suddenly hug?! Welp here come the doki feelings.

Despite not really knowing where 'here' is, it is good too see someone he recognizes -- especially his beloved cousin. So, naturally, he returns the embrace as smoothly as he can while he's drenched. Happy famiry.]

[bearrific]

*Good thing Teddie has a good nose or he wouldn't have picked up your scent Sensei! And like a bear does he come down the road, trotting on his two small paws as best as he can.*

Sensei! Sensei!

*He waves as he nears, clearly so very happy to see the leader. And why in the world is he holding a ramen on his other hand ... ? Well you better ask.*

[foolhardiness]

[Okay... Disregarding the fact that he doesn't know where he is, he's pretty sure seeing a walking bear, even though he knows just who that fuzzy fur belongs to, is weird as heck on its own. So, for a short time, Souji merely... stares, in surprise and slight disbelief.]

Teddie...? You're... [Whaaat. Okay, no, backing up a little. Maybe he really is going a bit delusional. He tries to shake the confusion away with a tilt of his head and the Leader Voice.] You'll burn your paw if you hold that for too long, you know.

[bearrific]

Aw, my paw is okay Sensei. *But here is an appreciative smile.* You being here is more important anyway!

*Besides, the bowl became lukewarm from the run.* Oh boy, you came at a right time Sensei. Nana-chan just arrived to Somarium and she could really use a big bro - of course, we all missed you too!

Oh yeah, in case you don't know, this world is called Somarium.

[foolhardiness]

[Nanako and Teddie... and 'we all.' Now he's feeling especially lost about all of this, staring curiously down at the bear.] You're all here...?

[It would have been nice to know exactly what was going on, but he couldn't really complain when he had a precious friend in front of him, so he just fixes his collar and gives a light shrug. There'll be time for that soon enough.]

Well, no matter what's going on, it's good to see you too, Teddie. Do you know anything else about... 'Somarium'? [It sounds sort of weird when he says it, since it's so... unfamiliar. Hmm.]

[centerofthering]

[Ty Lee had been gaining her bearings trying to come to terms with the fact that she'd been in Somarium before. But first thing was first: it was time to grab some warm clothing because the things she was wearing obviously weren't built to handle cold weather. She's on her way out of a shop when she sees the boy in the fountain and she bustles over.]

Are you okay? I know that you probably didn't mean it, but jumping into the fountain when it's cold isn't a very smart idea.

[foolhardiness]

[Oh.

Even though... He's sure it really wasn't his fault that he just so happened to wake up in the middle of the fountain, he still looks a bit sheepish when the girl points it out, and takes to running a hand through his hair.]

I'll... keep that in mind, thanks. I didn't jump into it, though. I just... woke up like that. [It makes less and less sense the more he thinks about it, really.] I'm fine now.

[centerofthering]

It's okay. [She gives him a supportive smile.] I woke up surrounded by scarecrows and screamed so loud that I made all of them except for one hop away. At least you didn't make a huge scene about it!

Oh! [Ty Lee quickly realizes that poor guy must be freezing and rustles in her shopping bag for a scarf that she just bought.] Did you want to borrow this? The last thing we want is you catching a cold!

[foolhardiness]

[... She made them hop away? Something about that seems off, but he doesn't comment on it. Weird things are always happening around him, it seems. He shrugs shortly.] I'm trying not to.

[When she starts rustling, he spares the bag a glance and a look of knowing crossed with curiousity flickers over his face. S-So kind.] Ah... You wouldn't mind? I'd probably get it wet.

[urinations]

[He'd been out for a while, maybe bored and maybe just trying to get some fresh air.

He couldn't help but snicker at the poor unfortunate soul who had landed in the fountain, making his way to help the struggling--]

--Souji?!

[That's not who he was expecting to appear. He was hoping to his best bro here, especially since Nanako had appeared, but...well!]

I didn't expect to see you here! Especially coming out of the fountain like that - that's usually my job.

[foolhardiness]

[They were probably as surprised as one another -- waking up in fountains aside, seeing a familiar face was more of a shock than almost drowning.]

Yosuke? [Eyes wide, he took an awkward step towards his friend and shook his head, bringing a hand up to fix his soaked hair. Confusion aside... That sense of humour was nice to hear again.]

I think I might have stolen your job, sorry.

[urinations]

[After a moment of staring, he laughs.]

I'd say that I'm too willing to give it to you, but that's a little harsh, considering what just happened.

[And he's taking off his jacket to give to Souji, holding it out for the cold newcomer to take.]

Better take this, dude. We've got a while before you can get into some drier clothes.

[foolhardiness]

[Souji just shakes his head with a single quiet chuckle, and gladly pulls the offered jacket over his shoulders. He's probably going to have to wash that, huh...]

Thanks. I'll leave all the grand entrances to you from now on.

[That aside, at least he's not too embarrassed about it. After being finicky with the jacket's sleeves, Souji goes right back into staring at Yosuke, innately curious as ever.]

How long have you been here?
