That's how Fai D. Flowright enters the scene. Not so unusual, really, since making an entrance can be fun. And Fai likes to have fun. Especially when it's mostly harmless but still at someone else's expense. In his current situation--in the middle of the lake, well in over his head--he's more the brunt of the joke, if there is one. Of course, with the way he and his companions were world-hopping, this sort of experience isn't so strange, really

[2/2] Oh Sasu-chii~ UR BFF FAI IS HERE~notatruesmileMarch 19 2011, 11:51:39 UTC
[And sure enough, he breaks through into clear, fresh air well before his eyesight grows fuzzy and black at the edges. Taking a few slow, generous breaths, he blinks, then swipes some water out of his eyes as he looks around, keeping himself afloat with an irregular half-hearted kick or swish of his arms.
The others are nowhere to be seen...though that doesn't mean they're not here somewhere. They usually are, after all.
The wizard's eyes settle on the dock and the towels, and after casting one more brief, deceptively casual-seeming glance at his surroundings, he swims for the pier, his strokes sure and strong (experienced), but unhurried.]
You have NO idea how excited he is, for srshis_lightMarch 20 2011, 03:42:16 UTC
[On the frequent walks Sasuke tends to take, he always makes sure to make his way past the lakeside, if only for a glance that he'll never admit is curious well, not to most people, anyhow. He happens to be within sight of the water when he slows and stops, watching -- the figure's obviously not having any trouble, so then his next priority is determining whether he recognizes it.
...Which... he can't say for sure either way at this distance, but it's not as if he knows many blondes, anyway. He remains where he is, his gaze fixed but his expression blank as he watches the newcomer.]
HE IS JUST SHORT OF LEAPING FOR JOY, OBVSIOUSLY.notatruesmileMarch 20 2011, 04:13:24 UTC
[Fai's semi-blank expression stays in place as he hauls himself up onto the dock, ditches the coat he'd been wearing, and takes a towel to start rubbing his hair dry. After a moment, the feeling of being watched prompts him to turn his head to the side, his eyes still rather dull and hollow looking...
...And then his expression shifts with an almost startling abruptness into a bright (too bright, really) smile, because oh my, what's this? A Kurogane clone? This young man has the same sort of appearance, the same dark hair and humourless mien, seems to favour a vaguely similar sort of clothing, and he carries himself like a fighter; even if he hadn't had that sword thrust through his belt, Fai would've known the stoic-looking teen was a swordsman.
Which very possibly makes him dangerous--not that that matters to Fai. He's pretty dangerous himself, after all. So Fai's smile only widens a bit as he gives an expansive wave and calls out to Sasuke cheerfully:]Hello there~! I don't suppose you could tell me where exactly this place

SPEAKING OF WATERS AND LAKES...silvermistingMarch 28 2011, 01:16:44 UTC
[ Let's just pretend that this little gal started fluttering her tiny little wings before hitting the surface. Because, irony of ironies, despite Silvermist being a Water Talent Fairy, her wings don't actually work when they're wet. And it's a long swim from the middle of the lake for someone who's about three inches tall.
In any case, as positive as she can think, nothing around here looks particularly familiar. And there's no sign of anyone with a familiar face. In fact, there are no faces around, furry or otherwise, that might be able to help. Not even fish (that she can see) in said lake.
Well... she's certainly not in Pixie Hollow anymore... ]
'Sup, fellow non-humanfillingmysoulApril 5 2011, 19:28:33 UTC
[Many might mistake that small shadow and flutter of wings for something else -- a dragonfly, maybe, skimming the surface of the lake -- and going by sight alone, Trish might likely make the same assumption. But the flicker of life that she senses is most definitely not an animal -- but not human, either, or even demon. Not half-demon, either. Hm.
So yes, attention is definitely 110% caught. Standing near the lake shore, she doesn't bother shielding her eyes against the sun as she looks out despite the heavy glare on the water. Still, it's difficult for even her eyes to pinpoint such a small point of interest amid the bright afternoon rays, so her call is just in the general direction of the lake's center.]
Well, well. Aren't you an interesting one? [And while she can come off as a bit of a creeper when she tries at times... the tone is entirely nonthreatening. Unlike the twin guns on her waist but hey it's not like she's reaching for them. A little teasing because that's How She Rolls, but yeah, she's not aiming for creepy.]
Yo~ What's the haps?silvermistingApril 7 2011, 03:50:17 UTC
[ She's in the process of touching down on the peer when the voice catches her attention... and she then darts off to the nearest hiding place... which is pretty much the nearest blade of grass. Because back in Pixie Hollow, it was forbidden to have contact with humans. And on first appearances, this woman did seem to be just that.
But short of being fearful, Silvermist is also curious if not cautious. So after a few moments of hiding and waiting to make sure the woman's left, she'll be peeking out from behind said blade, very carefully and very hesitantly. Creepy or not, human-looking thingss are human-looking thingss. ]
Nada mucho. Trying to survive all the boring peeps 'round these parts.fillingmysoulApril 7 2011, 20:42:09 UTC
[She turns her head slightly in the direction that this little life form flees, but doesn't give chase fortunately, she's above just blasting things for a reaction these days; she doesn't even move, except to link her fingers and idly stretch her arms over her head.] I don't bite, you know. Not much.
[Curiosity or not, she's still here to just enjoy the nice sight (for lack of better activities), so her movements and attention are a bit absent for a minute as she walks a little way along the shore, all but ignoring the new arrival's presence and seeming to forget her. She doesn't look over when she speaks again.]
That's a pretty little bit of magic on you. You could make a lady jealous. [It's more "pure" than "pretty" compared to what she's used to sensing -- as well as what she gives off herself -- but eh, it's pretty, too.] It's the first like it around here.
......Hey Sasuke, there's someone here now who you should *definitely* meet. chainsofrevengeOctober 3 2011, 17:27:30 UTC
Though he has only spare seconds to react between his sudden appearance over the lake and actually hitting the water, it proves to be enough for Kurapika. His right hand darts out reflexively, blurring with the speed of the motion, and a chain with a metal ball on the end whips out and wraps around the straight board that passes as a seat in one of the rowboats. The blonde Hunter hauls on the chain hard, pulling himself towards the boat as much as he's pulling the boat towards himself, and he lands on that wooden seat lightly, with the easy sort of balance possessed only by acrobats and highly-trained martial artists.
Judging by the way his next move is to fall into a ready stance as he swiftly scans the quiet surroundings, the latter is the more likely explanation.
What is this place? And how did I get here? Though he's careful to keep a hard, composed look on his face, in all honesty Kurapika is feeling decidedly disconcerted. The possibility that probably makes the most sense is that he'd been caught by another Nen-user, one

NO SRSLY, I AM TAGGING /ALL THE THINGS/ AND HERE HAVE SOME TEAL DEERZ AS A SIDEhis_lightJanuary 5 2012, 04:15:14 UTC
It's occurred to Sasuke more than once that he should probably not bother with passing the lake like he does -- and it is an intentional effort, considering it's a good deal out of the way of the main town. Nothing else is this far out, either, so he can't fool even himself by pretending to be scouting out another landmark.
It's occurred to him more than once that he shouldn't, because it only lands him in company he doesn't want half the time. That, and he isn't the best welcoming party, either. He can deliver the facts easily enough -- We don't know where this is, or who brought us here, or how to get out, or why the strange things happen like they do. You're screwed like the rest of us. Don't follow me. -- but there are more than a few people present, the women particularly, who are a lot better at it and much more willing than Sasuke. Even if a newcomer is stupid enough to not walk a few yards and see the town in the distance, they won't be completely lost for long. Someone will show up to help them eventually

HAHAAAAAH WHAT NOW?! (Also, icons for this account are a WIP, srry for the lack of pretty :[)chainsofrevengeMay 29 2012, 06:56:13 UTC
Kurapika had felt the weight of someone's gaze on him, even if he couldn't directly sense their presence, and since that someone was standing in plain sight, it doesn't take long for the Nen-user's brown eyes to settle on the other teen. Inwardly he tenses, but outwardly he doesn't allow himself to react, other than a slight, brief widening of his eyes; he continues to calmly pull himself towards the dock, his full attention seemingly back on the task at hand, though he keeps careful watch on the motionless stranger in his peripheral vision.
While he could simply leap from the boat onto the dock, leaving the boat to drift freely around the lake, Kurapika is far too anal OCD let's be kind and go with courteous and considerate to do something like that. In any case, he isn't the type to show off his skills when there's an unknown quantity so nearby. So instead, he goes about things like a normal person, climbing out of the boat (with more grace than most, perhaps) and kneeling to re-tie it loosely to the dock. Only then does he turn

Sasuke doesn't move as the newcomer reels himself in -- he just watches, that blank, bored looking never shifting an inch. Even after the expected question is asked, he doesn't respond right away; it's not an arrogant delay as much as it is a fleeting consideration of just what kind of response to give. If someone arrives and stares at Sasuke like he's some kind of alien, his answer is just a short, believe-it-or-not-it-doesn't-matter-to-me reality check. If they seem a little more levelheaded like this one, Sasuke's not so impatient -- even if he's just as apathetic

Because it is new-guy time, wth why notsarifattackdogMay 7 2012, 23:30:45 UTC
[The sight, at first glance, isn't too unusual. A man's standing on the dock, a tall guy in a long (and currently soaked) coat; if he notices all the additional weight that the water's putting on him, he's not making it obvious.
Upon closer inspection... okay, maybe the sight isn't so normal. Perceptive ones might quickly notice that the frames over his eyes aren't the usual frames of usual sunglasses -- there's nothing holding them on, actually. They seem to simply be a part of his skin, although no lenses can currently be seen.
One might also notice his eyes giving off a faint green glow. Or the numerous scars on his face. Or that his hands are a synthetic black, a stark contrast with what skin can be seen above his neck.
The man doesn't look particularly surprised or even confused by his surroundings. If anything, he looks... annoyed as he glances up and down the shore, as if searching for something.]
One rude welcoming after another. Just my luck.
[He rolls a shoulder absently, the motion silent except for the light shifting
