❝ No, you're right. ❞ danny shook out his hands, doing his best to physically shrug off the negative thought. ❝ If we give up we'll never get out of here. And honestly, I think I might go a little insane if that ends up being the case. ❞ he gave a nervous little laugh, rubbing the back of his neck sheepishly. ❝ People to get back to, like you said. That's something to keep hoping for. ❞

#i think we can end it there-#ic #danny01

"Alright! We'll I got to get to the library before it closes. Good luck on whatever plans you have."

Bon is feeling a bit inspired in continueing his search, but he rather do it alone for now. Since he knows some people were happier within the city then they were at home.

❝ Yeah, good luck with that. ❞ danny couldn't help the sigh that blew past his lips. ❝ I've been here for weeks now and I still haven't found a way out. And as far as I can tell? No one has. ❞ his shoulders crept up closer to his ears as the halfa frowned, eyes dropping down to his shoes. ❝ It's looking more and more like 'ever' is going to be what we're stuck with. ❞

#ic #its ok we both have time master cheaters in here #but anyways i like to say that dan the phantom can -get- it #i see myself out now #danny01

"Don't give up."

It was a off handed remark. But weeks is not a long time, considering he knew missions that lasted for decades. the constant care of Satan kid, Rin for example.

"Even if it takes decades, years. Dont ever give up. We have people to get back to after all."

❝ Right? ❞ danny's eyebrows quirked, a hand perching on his hip as he gestured wildly with his other. ❝ Like, what's up with all the different themes? It's like the architects couldn't make up their minds. or, ❞ he snorted, rolling his eyes, ❝ some kid who couldn't make up their mind. I bet that giant hole is where they put all the stuff that didn't work at first. ❞

"Or the most dangerous." He says, experience telling him that every time a first impression happens, life a bitch and always proves you wrong.

"This city doesn't make sense, its best to not question it for now." A pause.

"Or ever, if we find a way out."

❝ With a... top hat? ❞ danny wasn't quite sure he'd heard the other boy completely right for a second. but, then again, it wasn't like that was the weirdest thing he'd ever heard. far from it. heck, if he encountered a ghost dog with a top hat, he'd probably be more annoyed than anything else. ❝ Uh, no, sorry. Nothing like that. But you are right. ❞ a hand came up to rub the back of danny's neck as he sighed. ❝ This city is super weird. ❞

#ic #we got a space and time demon that bends more rules then danny. phantom #get rekt clockwork #danny01

"It is. Its just so random, and everywhere you look there's always something just weird...like the giant covered hole in the center of the city."

Which is something he expected from a volcano side island, not a city thats industrial sized and that could only mean one thing. There is something important inside of it.

"Its so obvious something is there."

eyes squinted and head tilted as danny took in the older boy, noting that he looked far less creepy when his hair wasn't covering his eyes like that. not, he thought half-heartedly, that he was one to talk; being half-dead can do that to a person. the halfa couldn't help the faint sweep of embarrassment that darkened his cheeks at the thought, and how he'd jumped to conclusions. he really was too used to being ambushed.

❝ No, that's my bad. ❞ danny offered a sheepish smile, expression apologetic. ❝ I overreacted. I can, uh, help you find what you're looking for, if that makes up for it? ❞

"...No thanks, it was probably my eyes playing tricks on me."

After all theres no way Mephisto would be here, he would have known by now with the crummy stationary and creepy laugh. Nothing else to say about it.

"Unless you seen a dog with a top hat on, its...probably not here. I don't know, this city is weird."

Bon statement is understated.

"Hey your guess is as good as mine. I doubt they'd just let out all their secrets so easily to people regardless of how long they've been here."

If they did nobody would be in this situation. Or at the very least someone would probably have figured out a solution to it without needing to jump through a hundred different hoops to find it...

"And neither of us know that. I mean have you seen that hole in the middle of the city? Who knows what horrible things might be living down there while all of us live up here? Maybe that monster you are talking about really does exist~~"

#PLAYS STAR RIAL.#DOES 5 MULTIES #WHERE GALALGHER...#ic #sparkle01

"...They wouldn't be that stupid to make it obvious, would they? A monster in a hole...thats stupid."

Little did he know.

"Geez... maybe we can meet another time? I still have a lot of places to go to, and there isn't a lot of places I can actually go with my age."

"How about if we find anything, we let the other know through the cellphone. Then again they might cencor everything, it is their net..."

danny didn't shriek, or scream, or anything so undignified. if anyone said otherwise, he would absolutely deny it. just because he was a little startled, didn't mean he'd freaked out. nope, absolutely not. even if he had whirled, body tense at the feeling of someone larger looming behind him, tripping a little over his own feet even as his fists had instinctively come up to defend himself from the wild-haired person he found behind him. he was ready to fight, except... what was that about a cat?

❝ Um, are you... looking for something? ❞

#ic #bon vc: sorry-#danny01 #if bon did a exorcism on dan would it work...hmm...

"...Guess I saw wrong."

He combs his hair back, showing young and gruff features. Clearly a teenager despite how his built would suggest professional athelete of sorts.

'Sorry for scaring you, I thought I saw something familiar."

The poor kid, he looks almost afraid, guess Ryuji had that sort of effect when he' wasn't watching. His hair didn't help either.

"Seems like plenty of people have been around for awhile. Others like ourselves are new." She had already turned her body completely around, skipping down the street as if there was anything to really see anywhere out here in the world.

"Some I've heard have already ended up here a year. Others long enough that our friends or family we've left behind might not even recognize us."

Still time did seem to be a deciding factor involving plenty of their cases. Regardless of how long anyone had been here they looked and felt the same both physically and mentally. Whether that was just a side effect of the city or something else entirely Sparkle had not figure out yet. But it was something she did keep in the back of her mind.

"Still its all rumors. I haven't outright asked anyone else yet. Not like I'm a journalist or anything."

#ryuji accidnetally guesses penacony anyways-#ic #sparkle01 #anyways 2.1 is soon !!! soon i will be gallaghers....#and hopefully the twink adventurine because i need e2 gallagher

"That's...not even close to what I imagine."

If people end up here for more than a year, a life time could happen before anything else could happen.it was annoying, it was frustrating. It was the feeling of being useless because what was the point of anything if you were going to get kidnapped anyways.

"Geez, what kind of messed up city is this. At the very least there isn't some monster in the background just silently killing people...I hope."

It was more of a guess than anything, but with this kind of set up. he wouldn't be too surprise if there was some population control system in place.

"Well its obvious isn't it? Does anything here look familiar to you?" It felt like a rather stupid answer to a question but it wasn't like she needed a thesis to explain her point.

"Where I'm from there's plenty of planetary travel and other nonsensical things happening on the daily. Besides i would've run into at least one of my coworkers if this was my world. My job requires me to be in plenty of places all at once after all. And none of these landmarks ring a bell either..."

Still she needed a partner in all of this as well. At least for the time being until Sparkle could just wander on off back to her abode or somewhere else once all the fun was sucked up...

"So how about the two of us try to figure that out ourselves? Maybe we could find somewhere nice to help situate us."

#ic #ryuji doesn't believe her at all even if that is the truth but she has nothign to prove #since everything could count as a different country if there are only humanoids in the photo #sparkle01 #to be honest honkai alien species hardly count as alien when everyone is just...humanoid.#not counting sunday and robin but still-

"...Doesn't that apply to the concept of countries? You would have to have a small concept of what applies as a world if this-

he gestures to the city, which is familiar to him int hat it resembles human culture at the very least.

''Counts as another world. it just looks like a big city with a lot of cultures from all over."

"What you say doesn't make a lick of sense, does the concept of countries not apply? Its a big world. Of course you wouldn't see any co-workers. Even if this is a different point of space, everything is just human-

A deep breath-

"...yeah, sure." though he's already having a hard time believing the other after all the things she just said. "I've been looking through all the news paper stands and libraries for the past few days. Talking with other kidnapees is a big hit and miss since we don't know who the oldest one is, or who has the know how of the city."

He's on guard for a moment, not expecting someone to actually answer to his mumblings. After all , he thought that everyone in the big city didn't care what happened to others. Or were just nosy about everything.

"Unless that garden leads to outside, its as good as a lead then anything, meaning useless. Unless that news is old."

Honestly after dealing with mister Illuminati Shima double agent, he's rather cautious of anyone that approaches with concern. Especially since he knows most people were selfish enough to only handle themselves.

Manners.

"I'm Suguro Ryuuji. And you are?"

Really she couldn't tell if it was old or new either. Considering the date she hoped the news here wasn't so out of date that she was reading week old headlines. But unless proven otherwise this was all she was going to go off of on this script.

"Ah Hanabi. It's a pleasure Suguro." Not the greatest name she ever thought of but she looked exactly like the picture she had in her pocket too.

"I'm also new to being dragged to another world as well. I thought it'd be easier to find out some information but it seems like they keep plenty under wraps."

#suguro homing in on something #ic #sparkle01 #unlike a gepard he is naturally suspicious #sorry hanabi he had his character arc already...

He would keep his suspicion for now, but there was one thing that he wanted to ask about. After all if anything her wording made him rather suspicious.

"...How exactly do you know its another world? We could be in another country for all we know."

of course he might have known, but all options are available until evidence points otherwise. If this is another world, wouldn't it be stranger? Or is this a point that people say the world is colonized for human enjoyment?

"A map of the world? I'm pretty sure your search is going to end up fruitless."

A rather "well-dressed" woman turned around from the stand, looking as if she didn't want to be the one to break the bad news to them. It wasn't her usual getup but a change of pace was in order.

"You'd think they'd leave us with some crumbs to go off of. But everything here just adds more questions then answers." She held up the paper almost on cue, showing off the front page.

"Abandoned Buildings Destroyed In Explosive Accident". "And right next to it an article about someone's garden finally opening up. Truly I've never seen somewhere so unorthodox to what's normally accepted."

"Unless that garden leads to outside, its as good as a lead then anything, meaning useless. Unless that news is old."

"I'm Suguro Ryuuji. And you are?"

obeytherouxls

Rouxls instantly turns his attention to the lad. "Yikes indeedeth, thou gnat! Thoust should feeleth intimidated by my Nyewest Masterpiece."

Thankfully, he has entirely misinterpreted the reason for this stranger's expression of choice, for he simply assumes it has to do with a certain something he is holding. By no means does it have to do with his appearance. No way Jose.

The Duke steps towards this punkish kid and holds out a puzzle (debatable) consisting of a transparent cube with circular opening cut into the top of it, a small, swirling slide inside, and square shaped opening cut directly underneath the end of the slide.

"And just thinketh! This ist but a glimpst to what minst mindeth is capable of! I'd daresteth thou to attempt it, but alas, NONE with an average Intellecte can solvesth it. Thou'd simpley cryest thineself to sleep for the rest of thoust life."
