[Barnaby's a mixture of many emotions. Torn and confused and upset, it's all summarized itself into a deep scowl etched on his face and movements fighting the urge to rush by being strained and controlled. He's trying his best to keep calm, but he is definitely not happyAfter realizing that he can't just leave through the way he came, he's decided

[ i'll just say papa and dooder live in the apartments or something. kaede's quickly skimming over the grocery list in hand.... father is useless. she nearly makes it out of the complex area or something before almost running into bahnaby in the middle of the sidewalk???????? ]

A-Ah..! Sorry!

[luckyfooted]

[And Barnaby freezes at the bump. He was staring around like a crazy that he didn't realize he was walking into someone as well.]

No, it's my fault. I should have been watching more carefully

[Wait a minute.]

You're--

[Kotetsu's daughter. Barnaby still remembers when he rescued her from the disaster at her ice skating competition. And as much as he wants to ask about her dad, he... kind of can't... Stupid old man and his stupid secrets.

...but what's she doing here?

He ends up just kind of staring at her. Like an idiot.]

[flyeth]

Are you looking for someone?

[ Hinata almost walked into him, coming out of a shop. Is...is that spandex. ]

[He freezes and stares for a good moment before giving a distracted sort of rushed nod. Someone is definitely mentally preoccupied.]

A few someones, actually. But... have you seen a man in a black and white vest with a matching hat and an oddly-designed beard?

[flyeth]

Someone like that was running around before, I think. I didn't talk to him, though.

[luckyfooted]

Do you know which way he went?

[...is he trying to be fashionable? It kind of reminds her of someone]

Ah, hello.

[luckyfooted]

[Stare. Goodness, where are all these people coming from?!]

...hello. Are you from around here?

[Action]

[onastakeout]

[out of thin air, apparently]

Ah-kind of. I live in the apartment right next to library. Are you new here?

[Action]

[luckyfooted]

[That's the creepiest NEXT ability]

I would... assume so. I've never seen this place in my life. But I have no intention of staying.

[ Magic this, magic that, Edel still saw no need to transport plants by magic in this world. It was dangerous, how hard did he have to stress that?

... Of course. It also made his life incredibly difficult to take potted, grown flowers from one district to another. The Metropolis section always felt the longest, it was just so unlike his world in aesthetics, but also so very much similar in the mood it portrayed.

Still, what he saw next was certain different.
Yep.

Different was a good word for it. ]

... Excuse me.

[ Don't mention the costume, don't. Don't even. Spandex? Spandex.]

Do you need something? [ A pause. ] ...You seem lost.

[luckyfooted]

[Oh come on people, it's not spandex, it's just... very... similar... to spandex...

But Barnaby stops and spins around, looking at the new individual.]

I think I am. What is this place? I was in the middle of something, and... [He glances around. What place is this?!]

...Where am I?

[apathycary]

[ Whatever it may be, it's fabulous, Barnaby. you shake that money maker. ]

... Oh.

[ His expression drops suddenly, it's not necessarily sad or broody- more like... welp, this is totally not new or anything. ]

You're new here, aren't you? You're in Splendor, sorry to say.

[luckyfooted]

New?

[Don't look so disappointed! After all, there's this not!spandex-clad guy standing in front of you relying on your very person to explain this world to him!

...or just an answer or two before he walks away. Whichever comes first.]

Splendor? Was I teleported here...? How far is Splendor from Stern Bild, do you know?
