Who: Those involved in the kidnapping plot
Where: The Underground
Summary: Mingle log for those who signed up to be kidnapped
Warnings: PG-13 to be safe


Wherever you might have been last night... well, you certainly aren't there anymore.

Upon waking up, you'll find yourself in completely different clothes than you were in before, consisting of an elegant toga and a crown made of flowers of various sizes, types, and colors; surprisingly, whatever equipment you usually use in fights is still on you as well. Many other Visitors are awake or rousing around you, and you all seem to be contained within a rather large cage. The design is very reminiscent of Greek architecture, decorated with flowers, colorful tapestries, and embedded with seashells in the floor and walls. Any powers you may have to easily get you out of here... well, they don't seem to be working as they should be right now. Beyond the cage you can make out two demonic looking figures standing guard by a door leading outside of the room, but they don't seem particularly interested in what's going on in the cage.

Whether you like it or not, there doesn't seem to be any escape for the time being. Perhaps you should talk to your fellow captives and see if anyone has any idea of what's going on, or maybe yell out at the guards? Come to think of it, there seems to be two people mingling in the cage that you may not recognize as Visitors such as yourself...

[OOC Note: It's time to mingle! See what your fellow captives are up to (as well as some NPCs later). Will there be a way to escape? Will you be rescued? Or will you have to endure whatever is waiting for you? Try not to panic!]

Yuzuru Otonashi — Open

[trainwrecking]

Eh..? I don't remember going to— [... Bed...]—

What is all this?! [When he went to bed is the least of his worries once it hits him that this is a prison cell.]

Someone dressed me like Panacea...? Is this some kind of cruel joke? This isn't cute...

[Most likely not. There are several faces here, some of them familiar and some of them foreign, but they're all dressed similarly. It's too organized, and yet not at all. A quick check over himself reveals a handgun and a small pocket knife.

I have weapons..?]

O...kay... I wonder if we have network access..?

gomen for grammar edit TWICE GEEZ

[hinoto_npcs]

I already tried. The Public network doesn't seem to be working.

[The girl with the teddybears was the first to speak up, pouting as she quickly tucked her cellphone in to the folds of her toga.]

I dunno about your network, though. Visitors have their own, right?

no worries! ♥ I'm an edit machine myself

[trainwrecking]

Damn it...! There has to be a way to contact the outside...

[It quickly hits him how young she looks. Why were they bringing kids like them here?]

Ahh—I'm sorry, are you okay? You said you were a native, right?

[hinoto_npcs]

Yup. Bona-fide Aquarius born and raised. Go team Sea-spray.

[She weakly jazzhands a bit, not loosening her grip on her bears.]

If you're wondering why I'm here, I'd like to know that myself.

[trainwrecking]

[Okay, that display gets a tiny, weak smile.]

I'm wondering why we're all here. I know "events" can happen to both Visitors and natives, but this one doesn't look like something supernatural. It's too orchestrated—

[Hm...]

H-hey... those bears, are they concealing any weapons?

[hinoto_npcs]

You'd be surprised what can be orchestrated in this town. [Way to sound bitter there, girl.]

Oh, these two? Not...exactly. They sort of are weapons? Hungover weapons, but...hopefully they'll sober up in time...

[She flushed a bit, smiling awkwardly.]

[trainwrecking]

Like what..? [Bitterness is fine, because he's very much getting to that point too.]

Uh... hungover, like... drunk? They're—wait, they're alive?

[hinoto_npcs]

Considering the Prix? Ugh, don't get me started...

[She almost seemed surprised at his, well, surprise about the bears.]

Of course they are, they're demons. A...demon? I try not to think about that, but- yeah, they got really sloshed yesterdayish. I was gonna make them breakfast, but...

[She gestured around the cage.]

[trainwrecking]

The Prix? A-ah, I'd actually love to hear anything about situations like this. It might be helpful!

[He's made it his job to sponge info about the world.]

D...demons. Those? They look awfully cute to be "demons," but...

[Anything is possible in Hinoto-Ri?]

[bondsofsuffering]

[Using his Xtreme Ninja Skillz, Hizumi quietly makes his way over to the redhead and gives him a cheery grin and a thumbs up.]

Lookin' good!

[...What happened to taking this seriously? He's even left his own flower crown perched daintily on his head.]

1/2

[trainwrecking]

[Adnjshfgnd HIZUMI, you made Otonashi jump.]

E-eh— This is serious, this isn't the time for—!

[But then again, isn't this just kind of how Hizumi operates on a regular basis? Is there anything to be done? Otonashi knows Hizumi can take situations seriously some of the time.]

[trainwrecking]

[Well, Hizumi can flip from joking to dead serious in two seconds flat. Maybe just for a second, this is okay...]

Oh, are you—?

[bondsofsuffering]

Definitely not for you.

[Ouch. Sorry, Otonashi.]

[trainwrecking]

W-why did I even bother trying to play along...

[Ouch indeed. He's getting demoralized all over today.]

[bondsofsuffering]

But anyway, how are you holding up? It looks like we're in a bit of a pinch here.

[Putting it nicely...]

[trainwrecking]

I'm fine right now, what about you?

[Which reminds him...]

Do you have any weapons on you?

[bondsofsuffering]

Totally unharmed for now.

Whoever did it was awfully nice, though. They made sure I've got both my weapons and some extra ammo, too.

[He indicates his belt, sword sheathed on one side and revolver on the other.]

What about you? Unless you're uncomfortable revealing your hand to me, anyway.

[trainwrecking]

Yeah... my weapon wasn't even loaded before. Someone took the time to change our clothing, but didn't confiscate our weapons or even let us be without ammunition.

[He shakes his head and pulls the small handgun from his own belt, along with a small pocketknife. Hey, you never know when you're going to need something with a blade in a place like Hinoto-Ri.]

No, I don't mind showing you. But I don't like the way this looks...

[leadthebeats]

Oh, it's definitely cute, Otonashi-kun.

[ She's making fun of him, naturally. Though she does have the urge to beat up the person who changed her. If only because that person is the biggest pervert... And even though Yuri's smiling, there's something about her smile that says that she wants revenge. ]

[trainwrecking]

There's nothing cute about it, a leader shouldn't say that... Don't tell me that you're not taking this seriously!

[He sounds snippy, but even someone who didn't know him could hear the pangs of fear in his voice.]

Demoralizing me isn't going to help either of us.

[leadthebeats]

I'm only trying to lighten the mood, Otonashi-kun. I'm taking this just as serious as anybody else. Besides, it looks like we might have to rely on the other two idiots to save us, since they don't seem to be here.

[ She'll toss her hair aside, trying her best to remain confident. After all, she can't show weakness, especially in a time like this. ]

But if we stick together, we can probably think of something. Besides, they managed to let us keep our weapons.

[trainwrecking]

I want to know if they're even okay. I can't contact either of them, there's... no signal.

[So there's no way to take a video, or describe where they are to the outside. Nothing. It's sickeningly familiar, though he can't exactly place why.]

I don't think it's a good thing that they let us keep weapons. Mine were unloaded before, and now they're loaded with extra ammunition.

[leadthebeats]

They're most likely going to force us to fight if that's the case.

[ Her voice is a little more serious than usual. Her guns are already fully loaded, and she has her knives with her, but it's not as if she plans on injuring anyone. It's not in her nature, after all. ]

Either way, it's both a good and a bad thing. If we do have to fight each other, I already have a plan.

[trainwrecking]

They can try, but they're going to be disappointed. I won't hurt other people.

[He sounded uneasy before, but completely firm on this.]

I don't see anything good about a forced fight, unless they're going to allow forfeits. I don't see any weak points in the cell for an escape... We're locked on all sides with no way to let anyone know where we are.

[leadthebeats]

You do know that the whole "I won't hurt any other people" is null and void if they manage to do something to your head, right?

[ She's being completely serious. ]
