[Today, in the plaza, you'll see a certain New Feather at the fountain. It's clear he's a New Feather, easily distinguishable by the light cotton pants he's wearing and the bewildered expression on his face.

Of course, he hasn't yet accepted his situation yet. It's rather hard to, when you find yourself in a place completely different from the one you were in before, and without any of the people you know in sight. So, of course, the logical thing to do would be to believe you're still dreaming.

That's exactly what Asbel believes, as he briefly dunks his head in the fountain, fully submerging it, before pulling it out and shaking the water off.]

...I guess... it's not a dream, huh...

[He glances around briefly nearby, perhaps coming out of one of the shops, or during the corner to enter the plaza themselves, or whatever. He, deciding he should probably get some answers about just what's going on, starts running towards them.]

Excuse me!

[Is this person you?]

Hello there.

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[He gives a slight nod. He wasn't sure what sort of person this could be, whether they were in a position of power or just a commoner, so it was best to play it on the safe side.]

Hello. Excuse me, would you... mind answering a few questions for me?

Re: [Action]

[eternallysinned.livejournal.com]

Questions? Certainly. How can I assist you?

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

Could you possibly tell me where I am?

[Action]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Uh. Yeah?

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[He nods.]

Yeah... Do you think you could tell me... where this is?

[Action]

[returninghope.livejournal.com]

Yeah, about that... You're probably not going to be able to get home from here, at least voluntarily.

You're in another world, and we're all trapped here.

[drawnbythesword]

[Trapped, and with no way to leave? It didn't seem probable. How could anyone trap a group of people in such a large village?]

...What? Trapped? How?

[Of course, Richard doesn't notice Asbel as he makes his way out of the store-- he's already had one false alarm, and he's a little preoccupied with other thoughts at the moment. He may not be instantly recognizable either, clad in casual Earth-style clothing instead of his usual more formal outfit, but that slightly regal bearing should be unmistakable to his friend, as is the voice that's humming a tune to himself.]

[drawnbythesword]

[He doesn't quite recognize the man from a distance. Although the blond hair looks familiar, as does the air the man gives off, it couldn't be the person Asbel believed it to be. After all, he'd never seen him dressed like that before, or anything even close to it.

At least, it's clear this is a man of status.]

Excuse me, sir! Please wait! I have somethi--...

[Upon getting close to the man, however, he freezes. He couldn't possibly mistake him, no... But he says nothing for now.]

...

[At that, Richard stops in his tracks, eyes wide. That's the second time in less than a week that he's thought he's heard that familiar voice, but it can't be real this time either, right? It can't be... but he's turning his head towards it anyway, a name escaping his mouth before he even realizes it.]

... Asbel?

[This man knows his name... That means it's...]

[drawnbythesword]

Richard...?

[At first, Lambda is a little dumbstruck. When he came to the village today, he hadn't expected he would run into a familiar face. Yet, there is Asbel, approaching the fountain. Perhaps the Malnosso listened to his request after all. He's just about to approach Asbel when the boy suddenly dunks his head underwater.]

...

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[After dunking his head in the water, he shakes his from side to side to knock the excess water off, before proceeding to wipe the water from his eyes so he could see again.

If Lambda was in close enough range, he just might get hit by the water.]

[Action]

[forsurvival.livejournal.com]

[Luckily, Lambda was keeping his distance. He just watches Asbel for a few more moments, before approaching.]

Asbel.

[drawnbythesword]

[He glances around the nearby vicinity. Someone called his name... Someone here knew him? He looked around, trying to find the source of the voice.]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[His eyes came to rest on the boy nearby. Was he the one who called him?

...He seems familiar... Really familiar. Why did he seem so familiar...?]

[Action]

[drawnbythesword]

[...! Could it really be?]

...Lambda...?! [But... how?]

[inabook]

[Estelle was just on her way to the library, quickly to avoid Zagi encounters, but she stops when she hears someone calling out to her. ...And then sees him soaking wet.]

Oh! Are you all right?

[drawnbythesword]

[Alright? Of course he's alright. He didn't recall suffering an injury or anything of the sort...]

Hm? ...Y-yeah, I'm fine. ...Why, is there something wrong?

[inabook]

You're all wet! You must be freezing like that.

[drawnbythesword]

No... I'm fine. I just splashed my face with some water to wake... [He lets out a sudden sneeze.] ...Up.

[Kratos was just coming out of one of the shops with a bag of groceries in one arm when he's approached by the New Feather. He knows he's in for a long day now, so he just shifts the bag to a more comfortable position.]

What is it?

[drawnbythesword]

[This man has a certain imposing air about him...]

Err... Would you be able to tell me what village this is?
