Hi everyone! [ She waves, giving a brief smile. ] I'm Yuri, or Yurippe, but if you try to come up with another nickname for me I'm not going to respond to it since one weird nickname I'm already used to is enough. I just got here and I want to be a kindergarten teacher. [ She's got experience with schools and kids. Not necessarily teaching kids, but it can't be that hard. ] I impersonated a teacher once, I've spent more time in a school than anyone I've ever met, and am older than I look. They're not going to turn me down are they?

[ Never let it be said she doesn't get down to business. ]

Do people end up here if they think really hard about moving to a foreign country and can't decide which one they want a lot?

I don't think so. I never thought seriously about moving...but here I am.

As for the teaching, I'm not really sure.

It was probably just a coincidence.

It'd be completely unfair if they said I couldn't. If you spend long enough in a school that you can't actually remember how long, that should be a given.

What's your name?

I simply woke up here, without any intention or desire to go anywhere at all.

[ As for being a teacher... he has no idea. ]

[ Yuri rests her cheek against her palm. ]

Good to know that most people didn't want to be spirited away.

It is not the first time it has happened to me, either. Or to others here. Even the previous world I came from before this was not my own.

Mary. I run the local bakery.

True, but I haven't seen a lot of kids around and the ones that I do see either don't go to school or are like the people without necklaces.

Do you sell yakisoba-pan?

[ A little comfort food won't be too bad. ]

The people without necklaces are basically NPCs right? If they're not real. I don't really care if they're not real so long as I don't end up starving on the side of the street. I'm used to being around creepy soulless human-lookalikes.

This is the fourth one I've been in, probably. Well, lived--

[ What are terms. ]

Second one I've lived in, fourth one I've habitated in, and I haven't kept track of how many I've visited. Only two of those were unwilling, though.

No, but if you get me a recipe I might be able to make you some special.

[Sorry, she's all american and only has the desserts and pastries she knows.

NPC? I'm afraid I don't really know that term, but they're not real if that's what you mean.

Was one of those worlds run by an organization called the 'United Earth?'

I'll see if I can. Thanks.

[ Yurippe only ever buys food instead of making it herself, so.. ]

Yeah. NPC's a reference to video games. It means Non-Player Character. Basically it's like all the background characters who have little characteristics, but if you talk to them long enough they'll start repeating themselves or it becomes obvious that they're not really anything other than programs if you know what to look for, no matter how well done they are. Someone I used to know started calling the ones I know that and it caught on.

No, one of them was the normal world that I was born, next was the afterlife, then a place called Rokkenjima, then another world that I guess it was a normal world, but I shouldn't have existed there.

Then yes, that's about what they are here. They react sometimes, but not like a real person would. It's...a little disconcerting at the best of times.

They're pretty much harmless unless you run into the bad sort though.

The afterlife? So... you have been resurrected.

[ Not exactly unheard of in his world, but unless you're resurrecting a demon, it's usually very, very difficult. And dangerous. ]

That's better, actually. The closer they are to humans the creepier it gets.

I can take care of myself even if I do. What do the "bad sort" usually get up to?

It's a little more complicated than that. [ There's a bit of hesitation. The whole being stuck in a new world thing had been distracting but. ]

I haven't been alive for more than two weeks, I'm still trying to figure out how to tell the story so you'll have to wait on that.

I think that's true of anything non-human actually.

I've heard of muggings, but not much more than that. I could be wrong though.

I see.

[ Even for him, that's a first; a human that died and was inexplicably resurrected, without her knowing why. And she was sent through four different worlds, and even remembered the afterlife. ]

Would you mind telling me what the afterlife is like?

[...so.... yuri was here too?

battler wasn't even sure if he would be allowed to talk to her, if she would respond back to him. but she was the only person he knew here, so of course he's going to try and talk to her.

how should he talk...? should he pretend nothing happened? aah come on!]

Yuri.... heh, looks like we ended up somewhere that's not because of the community.

[...JUST GONNA.... TRY THIS OUT...]

[ When Yuri had arrived, she'd thought that maybe, just maybe, this would be somewhere that she could breathe for a while. She would worry about figuring out how to get home.. No, just get back later. She didn't really have a home anymore. Whatever it was, that period of just getting away from everyone was cut short by the one person that she hadn't wanted to see.

Maybe she should just.. let him think that she wasn't the same Yuri he knew. After all, even with the community things like that had happened. She wasn't a coward though. No, after feeling a rush of excitement at not being alone followed by her chest clenching up like it was being squeezed, Yuri just switched her feed to voice, feigning nonchalance as best as she could. And she could do that quite well, her voice sounding almost dismissive. ]

Are you stalking me or something?

Probably. We didn't have these little necklaces in the afterlife though. You just had to figure it out.

If a mugging's the worst they've got that shouldn't be hard to take care of.

[ Well, she knows why. She just isn't exactly willing to share that bit yet. It's too fresh. ]

It's a high school run by computer programs with a bunch of fake people. You can't die again because you're already dead, and time doesn't flow. The one I went to had pretty specific requirements though, so it's not like most people would have ended up there.

[okay.... so he'll just go back to voice then too!!

he should have expected as much. but battler would not falter just yet! his heart was aching as well, he felt terrible and he didn't even know if he should keep this up. he chuckled to himself, swallowing and trying to get rid of the lump in his throat. it was no good, he could barely speak but he forced out some words.]

Stalking....? No... not at all. C'mon, don't give me that.....! I just woke up here like you, found myself in the bay and haven't a clue what's happening!

It's nice to meet you Yuri. my name is Bumblebee.

And no, people don't end up here for that reason. At least, I don't think so. I wasn't thinking about moving to a foreign country when I was brought here.

Bumblebee? Like bzz?

That's what I'm gathering. Is everyone here against their will?
