 [Uai woke with a start. It took a moment for him to gather his thoughts among the initial struggle to maintain his human form. His tired mind needs a good minute to recall what he had been up to before. At which point, he jumps/falls out of the pod and slams face first into the water.

Only to very quickly pick himself up and dark out of The Bay... and riiiight passed that Hologram. He doesn't have time to stop and wonder what that device was!

He has also dropped his starting money, but at least this vain kid decided he wanted the pendent and communicator.]

[Action. Genessia City]

Alyce? ALYCE! [There's a newbie now running around your city. Uai is aware that he is getting weird looks, but finding Alyce is more important that his pride. Adding to the reasons to stare are the fact that Uai is holding a sword and glaring at strangers. He's not entirely sure what is happening (good work, skipping the tutorial,) so assumes someone among the crowd brought him here.

At least after realizing he was making citizens as nervous as himself, he has the sense to begin searching more quietly. Including putting his weapons away and deciding not to yell anymore. Muses might find Uai looking very lost as he hurriedly checks every store and public area. As his panic gets worse, a dark and inky aura is seeping from him and becoming more noticeable.

Inevitably, Uai figures out to use the communicator.]

[Video]

Hello? Who is this, and what do you want? [Except he assumes this is a horror movie tactic, where his captor has given him a phone for torment purposes.] Actually, don't even bother naming your demands. I'm not in the mood. Give Alyce back to me before I force you. Harming the Grande Librarian is punishable by annihilation, and upholding the laws is my job.

[Mami did her best to catch up to the panicked Uai.]

Excuse me, sir. Are you alright? Do you need help?

[ubiquitously]

[Uai skids to a stop and turns swiftly to face her. She looks like a pretty average person and she's the first to speak to him. He can't bring himself to suspect she's the culprit.]

Aauuu, what? Noo. Yes, no. Fine, uh. Got it under control.

[People who have nothing under control: Him. He is soaked from falling in the pool and looks as scattered as he's acting.]

[heribbon]

Right...

Are you new here by any chance?

[ubiquitously]

[CALLED OUT??

quick, deny it. You don't want them to know you're weak, Uai!]

Whpfffhaaaa no. No, definitely, uh. A local. [nailed it.]

[heribbon]

If you were a local you wouldn't have a pendant.

[She's guessing he hasn't read the pamphlet yet. She put back on her smile and continued]

The locals here aren't real. If you want, we can find somewhere to sit, and I can talk you through everything?

[After his own screaming fit, Sadou decided the first thing he needed was money. He had starter money and realizing that the guy down the way dropped his, he picked it up.]

Man, dropping your money like this. Someone could easily steal it like this. [He sighed a little.] I guess I should be the good Samaritan and give it back.

[Catching up to him was a hard task, with how he was running around but soon he caught up to Uai.]

Hey, hey! You, yeah you. [Sadou held out Uai's money.] You dropped this. You'll need it in this world.

[ubiquitously]

[Sadou gets a confused look. Uai doesn't realize he had money to begin with, so wonders if Sadou has him confused for some other weirdly dressed boy with a long white braid, pink eyes, and a visibly bad attitude.]

Um... Did I? I don't think that's mine?

[part_timer]

It fell from the stuff you were provided with. Here.

[And he handed the money over to Uai.] I counted the bills, we've got the exact same amount each.

[ubiquitously]

Ah... Sorry for the trouble.

[Uai takes the money, hesitant. Why would he be dumped in another world with money?]

... You seem familiar with this situation?

[part_timer]

Not my first world, but then again, it wasn't like I wanted to be here.

[Sadou made a face.] My perfect attendance record is ruined now, even if they say time doesn't pass in the other worlds. I can't trust that I'll have a job if I can open a Gate here.

[Hm. Maybe he looks worried, and that aura was drawing her near him, it was reminiscent of her dear leader! She approaches as a human]

..Hey, you okay? I can see you Matter and Shadow protruding! Do you have a hole somewhere or are you new to shapeshifting?

[ubiquitously]

[When Uai heard the voice, he was initially more on guard than anything. Someone who could see his aura, of all things, was unsettling. He didn't like having to explain it away. Uai had credited the fact she sounded familiar to his panic induced insanity, but couldn't make excuses when turned around and saw her.]

... Eh?

[He takes a nervous step back. It's been so long since he saw that face, so he's surprised to recognize her. There were plenty of days when he worried he was forgetting the little details. But there's no doubt. That's Hana.

Well.

A Hana. Still.

He doesn't know what to say, so just stares.]

[draconixaviarix]

...What?

What are you staring at?

Is there something on me? Is there a leak on me too..? I-I thought I mastered this form...

[fidgets, but remembers and straightens up]

...Wait! No! Seriously, you need help with your form, uh..human?

[ubiquitously]

[Oh right. The 'leak.'

He knows his true form starts showing when he doesn't focus properly. Problem? She isn't exactly the answer to 'focus properly.' She's both the person he's been looking for and a terrible joke. Looks the part, but Uai knows they aren't the same.

So this is just painful, and encourages his distorted form. Which comes with a terrible attitude as an added bonus.]

N-No, I'm fine. Stay away from me. Do I look like I can't take care of myself?

[Well, actually...]

[draconixaviarix]

[oh okay, she hopped back, and put her hands up]

No, no..you just look..flustered? Kind of? Maybe sporadic like a squirrel. Are..you looking for something, then..?

[although she did wonder if the leak was contagious, she turned her hand into her claw, then back to make sure, muttering]

..okay that's fine..

[gastronomics]

...Back?

[ Alice tilts her head to one side. ]

[ubiquitously]

[Uai isn't thinking straight. It hasn't quite hit him that Alyce is a common sounding name.]

Yes, give her back! She's naive and trusting, but those are perfectly fine traits for a kid! Don't go taking advantage of them!

[gastronomics]

[ She points to her own face. ]

But I'm Alice.

[ubiquitously]

[... Oh right. It's a common name, but not a common spelling.]

Wrong Alice. Please go on with your day.

Nice name.

[gastronomics]

It is a very nice name! Thank you! What's yours?

[hopeschild]

We've all have been kidnapped here, so please untwist your panties.

[Because wow that was a little overboard don't you think?]

If her name isn't in the device you are currently holding, then she isn't here and only you've been kidnapped.

[ubiquitously]

[Mr. Missed The Obvious Memo just gives Takeru a confused look. You are a very helpful culprit, sir. Maybe too helpful.]

What are you talking about? A mass kidnapping?

H-How do I check for her name?

[hopeschild]

Well anyone with the pendant is someone who was brought here much like yourself.

As for how to check. It's under contacts, lists everyone who once again was kidnapped.

[ubiquitously]

Sorry, mass kidnapping is hard to swallow. What is this, Saw?

[He shakes his head, reminding himself to look over the contacts list.]

Whatever. I'll just find Alyce and leave. This place looks like it has laws close enough to what I've studied.

[trollkeru]

As I said before, check contacts and actually see if this Alyce name is there. If it's not, you are out of luck buddy.

[All said with a small smile.]

But good luck never the less.
