[This definitely isn't the first time Zelos has woken up in a bed not his own in a house not his own. It's not even the first time he's woken up somewhere with no recollection of how he got there... Though the handful of times that did happen, he'd at least been able to pin it on alcohol

[The same really couldn't be said for Mami; for much too long a time, she's woken up in the same cold bed and empty house. So once the sluggish veil of sleep drops from her mind, she realizes that something is very wrong here, that this place is different and not her own and- wasn't she just talking to Madoka a few minutes ago about something incredibly important?

A different child of her age would probably panic. Scream, flail, break down and cry, maybe even flip a literal as well as metaphorical table. But Mami does none of these things, only tightens her smile just a fraction and heads downstairs, wandering into the kitchen. Somehow, she'll find answers, because this is not where she needs to be.]

[theillchosen]

[Judging by the house, it's pretty clear nobody important could live here. Too small, not ornately enough furnished. Then again, Colette lived in a house about this size, but that was Sylvarant. Totally backwater. Zelos lets himself into the kitchen and stops, a look of surprise on his face. Of course he recognizes Mami from the photos.]

Hello. What have we here?

[headedforhope]

[She's making tea in a manner so calm it's probably unnatural, and cranes her head over her shoulder to catch sight of Zelos when he speaks. The smile is still there like nothing is wrong in the world at all.]

Oh, hello! This is your house, isn't it?

[theillchosen]

[Oh that's so cute. His house. It's enough to make him smile, really.]

Not a chance. I'm gonna go out on a limb here and guess it's not yours either.

[Merem is sitting on the counter in the kitchen...where you make your sandwiches.]

...well, hello there.

[theillchosen]

[You mean where you make Zelos his sandwiches.]

Hey, kid. There any adults around?

[wise_king]

Other than you? I suppose Ciel may be around here somewhere.

[theillchosen]

Ciel's the name of which lovely woman in those pictures?

[If the two happen to cross the high school on their travels, they would notice a woman outside on the steps eating some lunch. She's also wearing a dress (black/white one) appropriate for the time era. When she sees them she'll give a friendly wave.]

[headedforhope]

[Smiles and nods in return and, after a moment or two of thought, approaches....hopefully before Zelos can.]

[enviousmath]

[When the girl approaches Kyrie smiles and puts her lunch to the side. She looks like she's no older than 16 and she's certain she hasn't seen her in school before.]

Hello. Enjoying the day?

[headedforhope]

Mm, the weather's certainly pleasant!

[Demurely twirls her finger around the end of her spiraling pigtails.]

I'm sorry to interrupt your lunch, but are you a teacher at this...school? [a note of hesitation slips out; what the fuck this school, NEEDS MORE GLASS.]

[EYEBALLS.]

[headedforhope]

[Well, you won't be of any use to Mami all asleep like that! She moves to gently shake Rin's shoulders.]

Miss?

[A ghost pale woman with golden eyes humming some sort of song, which is slightly creepy waves cheerfully to the pair]

[headedforhope]

[oh hi there, eye-color twin I MEAN WHAT]

Hello, miss.

[elevatoravatar]

"Hello..."

[she smiles and bows slightly]

"Are you new to town?"

[headedforhope]

[politeness! she rikes, and curtsies a little in return.]

Yes, just arrived this morning.
