A couple of things.

First, I haven't heard him yelling anywhere so. Anyone seen Gokudera around? 'Cause he left some papers and. Yeah, need to talk to him.

Second... Ginny said this is a day when people from anywhere show up for a couple of days. Sooo... If there's anyone from home, uh. Contact me on this thing.

[meanwhile, Jim's out and

THIS ISN'T MY WORST

[picklevoodoo]

[There is a confused looking little girl wandering around nearby. Her hands are balled into fists and she keeps turning around and around looking for something-- or someone, maybe. She's veeeery obviously lost.]

I DON'T WANT YOUR WORST OH GOD

[trytofindit]

[And Jim's still looking around and notices her. Uh. Where.... is her person.

...Jeez, she's alone isn't she.

Great.

Gets up and goes over to her.]

Uh... Hey.

YOU KNOW YOU DO

[picklevoodoo]

[....and you get this face staring up at you. After a few seconds of blank-faced silence:]

....my sister says I'm not supposed to talk to strangers.

NO I DON'T

[trytofindit]

[Kneels down in front of her and thinks for a second, then smiles a little.]

Your sister's a good person. I'm Jim. [and holds out his hand to her]

THIS IS MY WORST

[spiderpsycho]

[Was that a passing breeze down your neck, Mr. Hawkins? Hmm. Perhaps.

It was a bit moist and humid for a breeze here in The City, though, wasn't it? A throaty, clicking-- clicking?-- chuckle suddenly accompanies the warmth-- and the stink.]

If it isn't the cabin boy...

WHY WOULD YOU DO THIS /YOU ARE TERRIBLE/

[trytofindit]

...

[fuck. his. life.

Standing stock-still at the sound of that voice. You know, WHEN HE SAID HE WANTED TO SEE SOMEONE FROM HOME.... not. entirely who he meant.]

ACUZ I LOVE YOU

[spiderpsycho]

I was under the impression I wouldn't be seeing you again so... soon, Mister Hawkins.

[The "s"es drag out, slippery and slimy between Scroop's mandibles.]

LIES AND DECEIT WHY WOULD YOU BRING HIM HERE

[trytofindit]

Yeah well-- Guess that just goes to show you don't know a lot of anything, huh?

[likeasolarfire]

... This is... really...

I need to wake up.

voice

[trytofindit]

... !!

[He's dealt with Arthur sounding like an older him but uh.]

... I think that makes two of us.

voice

[likeasolarfire]

Are you... you can't be--

voice

[trytofindit]

[listening closely and..]

Nope, sounds like it.

This is... awkward.

[getonthecat]

Yeesh, a couple days?

My first dimension hop, and I wasn't even ready for it. This is gonna set me back.

Voice

[trytofindit]

Yeah, I don't think any of us were ready when we first got here either. So. You're-- Definitely not the only one.

Voice

[getonthecat]

Think you can, uh. Fill a guy in a little?

Voice

[trytofindit]

Well.

You're trapped in an inter-dimensional City that brings beings from other worlds and no one's found a way out yet. From what I understand, uh. This weekend is a weird curse that brings a lot of extra people in and they leave in a day or two.

So... You're probably one of those. Enjoy your stay? I guess.

[trytofindit]

Wha--

[And cue looking around. Not only is this dog talking but it has no leash and no one around looking for him. Oh god.]

...No, I. Didn't know that. Uh, where did you come from?

[trytofindit]

[And he watches. Flatly:]

Then maybe your master is back that way. You should go see.
