001:: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

[If you happen to be hanging out in town, you may have just heard a very sudden exclamation, and if you moved in the direction you thought you heard it from, you might come upon a youth wearing what appears to be some kind of school uniform.

He's raking his hand back through his untidy white hair, teeth gritted, looking monstrously confused.]

[action] attack of the caaast

[patchworkdoctor]

[Guess who's rolling on down the street, on his trusty computer chair.]

Oh. Hello Soul Eater. [Stein rolls to a stop.] I didn't know you were here, too.

Re: [action] Wooo! \o/

[thecoolestsoul]

[If a teacher is here, that implies things might not actually be a miss, Soul reasons. Maybe he really did sleep through some important instructions or something...]

Hey, good timing, Professor.

I think I missed a memo or something. Impromptu field trip?

[Why *yes*, that does translate to "I was sleeping in class again".]

XDDDD

[patchworkdoctor]

No. There's no way to leave the city. [Oh, well, why don't you go ahead and be calm about this face, Doctor. He pats his pockets down and pulls out a cigarette.] Maka's here, too.

[thecoolestsoul]

Maka? Well, I guess I'm not completely lost, then.

[He misunderstood the "can't leave" thing, and is assuming it's just part of the... assignment thing. Maybe. Panic has ebbed away and he's back to "ugh what boring thing did I miss out on now" mode.]

Where are we, anyway?

text; and just let me know if you need otherwise

[trollsbackwards]

YOU'RE STUCK IN A FUCKING WISH GRANTING MAGICAL PLACE.
CONGRATULATIONS ON LOOKING INTO A SUSPICIOUS MUSICBOX, FUCKASS.
YOU KNOW WHAT THEY SAY ABOUT CURIOSITY AND THE CAT.

Text; he figured it out, I guess?;;

[thecoolestsoul]

[His magical seal ability to "type" is no better than his regular typing skills, alas.]

[thecoolestsoul]

Action

[afterthesong]

Another newbie?!

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

"Newbie"? People must not wander into your town that often, then, I guess.

Hey, where are we, anyway? I'm starting to think maybe I shouldn't have ended up here.

Action

[afterthesong]

We're in a city called Splendor. Lots of people are stuck here from a music box they found just before they ended up here. Did you find one, too?

Re: Action

[thecoolestsoul]

No, I--

...Wait. I think I sort of did. I heard one, anyway. I don't see how that could make me wake up somewhere I've never been before, though.

Are you sure the music box is what did it?

action;

[skirtindanger]

[less 'hanging around' and more 'heading back home', but that doesn't change that Maka is indeed out and about, cruising through the streets until she looked up in the direction of said exclamation--

hey, she knew that guy.]

... Soul?!

Re: action;

[thecoolestsoul]

[Oh glorious relief! He can't be in some weird alternate dimension if she's here, right? It must be as he thought. He missed out on some information while he was asleep.

That had to be it. Reverting to calm and collected mode right about now.]

Maka! Thank god. I didn't know what the hell was going on for a minute there. What did I miss?

[skirtindanger]

[there's a beat as she's relieved to see him again, but simultaneously thinks back to that one conversation she had with Kid -- no, even further back, to when she last saw him, in the Book of Eibon... something in her twists for the briefest of moments, but Soul seemed to be acting like his usual, normal self, so was nothing really off after all?

... it might be a better idea to find out more, first.]

A lot, to be honest. So did you just get here? I'll take it that you don't know what's going on.

[thecoolestsoul]

Yeah. I ran into Professor Stein a few minutes ago, and some... psycho angry guy, but nothing they told me made any sense.

You're okay, though? Stein said Crona's here, but he didn't seem to think it was a big deal, which I thought was pretty weird.

voice;

[grimreaping]

Ah, you're back. Good.

Re: voice;

[thecoolestsoul]

[Kid's voice is now randomly invading his head and it's just a little freaky. Soul whirls around quickly, but there's no one there! What the hellll. Maybe it works exactly like the strange texting phenomenon he had the misfortune of encountering before.

He stops, then speaks somewhat slowly and deliberately, as though he half expects nothing to happen.]

...Kid? Where are you?

voice;

[grimreaping]

[ a sigh; really now, it's not like they were from a place where electronic communications were unusual, even if this was a magical equivalent ]

Check your pockets. You'll have a round object, it works a bit like a cellphone.

Re: voice;

[thecoolestsoul]

[He digs for it immediately. So this is what all the communication powers stemmed from? He feels slightly ripped off. They could've at least given him a current gen phone. Way cooler.]

Thank god. I was thinking maybe everyone had telepathy here or something.

Anyway, Maka pretty much already tried to convince me we're stuck here, so I guess I have no choice but to believe it for now. Should I be worried?
