[There's a few things Gordo's realized: he's not in his middle school and something is very wrong. He feels pretty upset, but if there's anything he's learned from having psychologists as parents? It's best to remain calm and if you're in a dangerous situation, you've got to think about your position.

He's also realized he has wings and maybe this just means hes dreaming? But this is a really realistic dream. He's also already pinched himself and nope.

It's also night time and he appears to be in somebody's house.

He has a book that has a camera in it. Strange...

And this is really weird.

He needs to do something because sitting here in the dark in somebody else's house could be dangerous. He doesn't really seem to be kidnapped by anybody here because he's in a living room. And he could just walk out, but since he has no idea where he is? Well, no. Not a good idea.

He'll take a chance because this seems to be the only thing he can do. So he could be in your apartment, knocking on doors so he can talk to someone about this. He's really just a 14 year old boy and looks pretty defenseless in just his white cotton pants.]

[SOMEONE IS KNOCKING AT ATSURO'S DOOR.

I'M NOT TL;DRING I WANT TO BE FIRST OKOK

tl;dr atsuro's getting the door once he hears someone knocking on it]

Uh... Hey. [who are you and why are you knocking on his and koubro's apartment door]

[action]

[ratpack]

[WOW SOMEONE IS IMPATIENT.

Gordo frowns and falters a moment because he expected an adult. Well, this person seems older so Gordo supposes he could talk to him.]

Um. Hi. Look, this is sort of awkward, but I have no idea where I am. Do you have a phone or something so I can call my parents...?

[action]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[i

shuttup I got first okay

..But alright then, that explains that. Let's see, how to explain...]

Nah, it's not awkward at all. Nobody knows where they are when they first get here. But uh... There aren't any phones here.

[action]

[ratpack]

[you can have that much.

But the no phones thing is weird. Plus the whole 'nobody knows where they are when they first get here' thing, too.

He's just really confused.]

Mind explaining? Sorry, I know it's late, but I'd just like to know where I am?

[action]

[ctrlaltdemons]

[thank you chey!

Despite the few cycles Atsuro has already been through and the New Feathers he's talked to, he's still not completely sure how to approach this yet.]

...Well, for starters, have you noticed the wings on your back yet?

[Gordo may not be knocking on Kiba's particular door, but he is, however, knocking on the apartment door of one of Kiba's teammates—a particularly anti-social one who has recently returned home, so Gordo's essentially knocking on a door of an empty room. Go figure.

So when Kiba and his dog finally decide to climb the stairs and enter into his apartment block's hallway, Gordo immediately earns a raised eyebrow and skeptical glance from Kiba, and a loud bark from Akamaru.]

Oi! You need something?

[Action]

[ratpack]

[Gordo jumps and sees Kiba and his dog and Gordo frowns. It really just seems like some apartment complex, but this is just weird.]

Yeah, hi. Um, I'm David Gordon and...I kind of don't know how I got here. Or these wings. Or anything to be honest. Is there a phone here so I can call my parents? They're probably worried.

[gleamed]

[Is that...knocking?

Does she have a visitor? Oh my goodness, this is so exciting. Rapunzel LEAPS to the door and wrests it open, hair trailing behind her.]

HELLO! [...Okay so she doesn't know him. Still!] Umm...can I help you?

[ratpack]

[Oh. He wasn't expecting somebody so excited.

Nor was he expecting a nice looking young woman and that makes his shirtlessness really, really awkward. He tries to cover himself up a little.]

Yeah, uh, hi. [He gives her an awkward wave.] I'm Gordo? Well, David Gordon...[He shakes his head.] You have a phone or something I can use?

[gleamed]

[Is this odd behavior? She really has no idea. And she also has no idea what a phone is. Does she have one? Excellent question!]

Nice to meet you, Gordo! I'm Rapunzel. [Pause.] ...What's a phone? I'm not sure if I have one.

[ratpack]

[He blinks.]

You're kidding, right? You don't know what a phone is? Um, not to be rude, it's just...everybody I know knows what a phone is.

[gleamed]

Well...I'm not everyone you know! [She says that as cheerfully as possible. This poor guy looks new.]

Um, do you want to come in? If I don't have a phone, maybe I can still help you!

[Action]

[sharpness]

[Oh, someone at the door. Seeing as no one else in the apartment is making a move to answer it Yukio might as well see who it is. It's pretty late so it might be something important.]

Hello, do you need something? [Aside from a shirt because oh hello it looks like you're new here Gordo.]

[Action]

[ratpack]

[Oh, this person doesn't look too much older. Maybe his parents are around? He smiles a little.]

Hey. I have no idea where I am and do you have a phone or something? Or are your parents here or...?

[Action]

[sharpness]

I have a mobile but there isn't any reception here, more importantly I haven't seen a land-line telephone since I arrived. [Who needs phones when there's a magic multi-purpose journal?] ...And no. Our parents aren't here.

['Our' because bro is probably sleeping in the other room- moving on though!] When you woke up did you have a book with you?

[Action]

[ratpack]

[He gives a strange look at the no phone thing. Doesn't most of the world have phones? He's never been to a place without them. This is getting stranger.

But at the mention of the book, he nods and picks up his journal from beside him.] Yeah, with my name and everything.

[Action]

[sharpness]

You can use that to talk to or write messages to people, so it's essentially a phone if you want to look at it that way. [It's the closest thing here to a functioning phone anyway.]

I'm sorry to say though that I doubt you'll be able to find your parents here, unless they were brought here too. You see, you're in another world now.

[ Asuma was just coming back from running a few errands. Picking up a few things to make his apartment less bare. So opening his door, he sets the stuff on his table and...

Oh.

Oh, there is a kid in his living room. How strange. Asuma notes that Gordo is wearing the same pants-no-shirt that he was when he arrived, and shoves his hands into his pocket, giving him a look. Did he wake up in here, or... ]

Hey, kid, you look a little lost. Need some help?

[ He didn't accidentally nab an already taken room...did he? ]

[ratpack]

[Oh, it's an adult. Good. He offers a smile.] Hello, sir. Um. Sorry to just show up in your apartment. I think a little help would be pretty useful. I kind of have no idea where I am.

[lastsmoke]

It's fine. You don't seem like the criminal type, anyway. [ He smiles in return, motioning to a chair. Lecture mode: Activate! ] You might wanna sit down for this, though. The explanation is...a lot to take in.

[ratpack]

Yeah, I can't say I have a record. [He sits down in the chair and looks up at him.] But I'm all ears, sir.

[He will be a good kid for an adult and listen carefully. Even if this situation is different.]

[There's a loud flurry of movement, and some light but sophisticated clicks as Fujiko tries to make sure the traps she's resetting won't go off. Really, she's not sure why they bother. They don't catch the people she means to, and with the Shifts it's a little dangerous. Oh well, die hard habits for being stuck in one place.

Oh hey, don't mind the extra locks, they're sort of steampunk like, and yes, she is clearly paranoid and added all those herself.]

Yes? [Despite the paranoia, upon just seeing a fourteen year old kid, she'll open the door pretty wide.] What's up sweetheart?

[Action]

[ratpack]

[Wow this person certainly does have a lot of locks and he's not really sure he should stick around until he sees Fujiko. He's a little stunned for a moment until he subconciously covers his chest. Crossing his arms as he awkwardly grins.]

Uh, hi. Do you have a phone? Or anything? I don't know where I am and that's pretty weird, I know, but if I could just call my parents, miss...?

[Action]

[doubleppk]

[Small frown. New Feather or Mallynapping?]

Did you wake up with a journal nearby?

Ahhhh I'm like the worst person at explaining all this, but come on in, I'll do my best if you want. You want something to drink? That might help.

[Action]

[ratpack]

[He worries for a moment if maybe he's bothering her, but he nods. Meaning yes, he has a journal and he gets it.]

Um. If I'm bothering you, you don't have to. I can uh, just use your phone to call my parents?
