Lost

[Video. The kid on the screen seems to have a red tint to him. He must be in some kind of district that has lots of red lights in it.]

Okay so, this isn't how I meant to make my first impression. I might try again later.

They explained everything about magic monsters and extra hours of the day and all kinds of unbelievable stuff, but the most unbelievable thing I got was the directions to my new apartment. I have no idea where I am, and I'm really getting the feeling it's not somewhere I want to be.

Yes, please. They wouldn't cut them when I asked.

[He holds up his hands to about chest-level.]

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

[He whips a lockpick out of his hair and matter-of-factly goes on to pop the handcuffs open.]

How'd you end up like that, anyways?

[not_that_sasuke]

[He's a little surprised, but he's not going to question why this stranger just happens to have a lockpick. It's not like he can claim to be the most ordinary person, either. For now, he's just rubbing his now freed wrists in relief.]

...I got caught somewhere I probably shouldn't have been, that's all.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Ah, just one of those things, I guess.

[not_that_sasuke]

Basically.

You were looking for somewhere, weren't you?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yeah, I'm trying to find the Pisces district.

Astrological signs everywhere, looks like SOMEONE up there has a sense of humor.

[not_that_sasuke]

Pisces... That's where your room is?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yeah. In some big apartment complex.

[not_that_sasuke]

Pisces is where my room is, too. We might as well try to find it together.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Sure, why not? I'm Duo.

[Handshake: ENGAGE?]

[not_that_sasuke]

Sasuke.

[Handshake exchanged!] Shall we get moving?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Yup.

[There are lots of distractions to a teenage boy in the Taurus district, but that doesn't mean conversation doesn't happen.]

So the handcuffs. For real, this time. I've gotta know.

[not_that_sasuke]

[Sasuke manages to keep pretty focused. Sometimes the training he's had comes in handy.]

I wasn't lying about it, you know.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

I guess an in depth answer wouldn't really mean anything to me. I'm still having trouble wrapping my head around this multiple dimensions thing; I'm probably lucky everyone here seems human.

...You're human, right?

[not_that_sasuke]

[There's a pause before he answers. Up until now he's had to conceal it, and he can't deny the fact that others from that school may show up here just as he did.

...But on the other hand, it's probably better if he remains honest here. Keeping up the charade of being a bakeneko might just make things more complicated.]

Yes, that's right. I'm a human too.

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Cool, just checking. After my day so far...

Well you never know.

[not_that_sasuke]

You just got brought to another world; at this point, anything could happen.

Something like that?

[maxwells_silver_scythe]

Pretty much.

[not_that_sasuke]

...It's probably a fair bet, really.
