August 15? Knowing that somehow made Echo feel a bit more at ease. So it had just been a dream then…. There was no way she would have been able to travel to such a far-off place as this within the span of just a few hours. Even with the Abyss’ interference that would have been an oddity.

However there was still something with the man’s words that bugged her.

Draping the crimson cloak around her and lowering her blade (still keeping it in a firm grip just in case), the Baskerville stands up. She would normally stay as far away as possible from this piece of clothing, the stench of blood covering it made her feel sick to her stomach, but at the moment it seemed she had no other alternatives.

"Trapped?"

[stuckvigilante]

Yuri noticed that the girl hadn't relaxed the grip on her blade yet and made sure not to startle her as best he could. Sure, he could most likely dodge her, but he'd rather not have to fight at all if he didn't have his sword.

He nodded. "Yeah. Trapped. You got thrown in here by a glitch in the system--don't ask, I don't get it yet either--and the world won't let you go all that easily."

He paused, thinking about how he could tell her she died without openly telling her she died. "Did you... I dunno, get injured lately? Not a cut or something, more like a really serious wound?"

This was the only dumb part of his plan. He sucked at explaining.

[the-echo-of-a-noise-deactivated]

The sudden voice looming from above her startles Echo into, more or less out of reflex, grabbing the handle of her blade. Pointing it in the voice’s direction, she lifts her head to give the source a warning glare.

Infront of her stood a young man, possibly in his early twenties, with long dark hair and dull eyes. His clothing came off as a little bit odd to the girl, however due what she had seen earlier that day, that fact failed to surprise her.

"Don’t come closer" Echo said with a little tint of threat in her voice. He didn’t seem too threatening, but experience told her not to trust that. "State today’s date and the name of Echo’s location".

[stuckvigilante]

The moment the girl's blade got shoved into his direction, Yuri cursed whoever was responsible for this world that they didn't let him keep his sword. Battle instincts took over and his entire body stiffened, ready to defend himself should he need to.

Despite that, he held up his hands in a form of peace. "Easy there, wouldn't want to hurt anyone with that," he answered lightheartedly, if only to get her to relax a bit. "As for the date--I'm never going to get used to this system--it's August 15th. Don't bother asking for the year, it wouldn't matter in this world. The city you're in is called Kashiwa City."

A moment of silence followed.  "Look, I'd be happy to answer any questions you have, Echo, but could you at least stop threatening me? I work better when I don't exactly have a blade waved around in my face. I promise I won't do anything to you. All I want to do is to help new people who get trapped in here."

((The city name was given in an ic chat about a week ago, not sure if it's the canon name.))

[the-echo-of-a-noise-deactivated]

Echo couldn’t do much but stare in pure terror as the Queen of Hearts lifted it’s scythe-like arms. This was the end, wasn’t it? She had tried push Noise aside, she had tried to stop her, but she had failed miserably. And now she had to ,once again, take the price for her mistakes. Heh, she kind of regretted it actually. During her whole lifetime, Echo had never ever managed to stand up for herself, and when she finally mustered up enough courage to do so it was already to late. Her body, as well as Noise, was frozen with fear and betrayal and wouldn’t move no matter how much Echo pleaded.

She could hear the grinding of bones, see the glint of razorsharp metal, as the scythes flew down. And, looking up to her killer’s grim, fleshless, face one last time, a pang of realization hits her, piercing her chest. She hadn’t gotten to thank him yet… she hadn’t gotten to… NONONO SHE COULDN’T DIE YET SHE HADN’T GOTTEN TO SAY G- At that moment her head parted from her shoulders.

***

Echo’s eyes slam open and the girl instinctively throws up a hand to touch her throat. It was all a dream? Then why… She jerks into a sitting position, clutching her head as she is overcome by a sudden wave of nauseousness. Instead of her soft bed she found herself on something hard and scorchingly hot (almost as hot as the air surrounding it she noticed). Taking a closer look at it, she could see small pieces of rock, stuck inside the dark material. Maybe the heat had made the cobblestone melt? But that would be quite unlikely since rock didn’t really have ‘meltable’ in it’s properties as far as Echo knew.

Around her she could see long metallic poles ,holding balls of glass, rising up into the sky, several big wheeled devices, tall white buildings, people in odd clothing and multicolored lights in black boxes. The objects where giving off everything from high pitched beeping to thunderous rumbling A knew wave of nauseousness hits her. The Baskerville tries her best not to throw up.

All of this was just so… alien. Even the clear blue sky.  Where in the world was she, or rather when? Had she fallen into the Abyss? Had it thrown her into a new era? She needed to ask someone. Echo stands up and staggers to the street. There were so many people there, it made her uncomfortable, but hiding wouldn’t change a thing. When reaching out her hand to grab a shoulder however, she finds it going straight through it. All the noises and people vanish in the (literal) blink of an eye.

"What is going on?". Grabbing her knees, the girl slumps down against a building wall. This was all too much

[stuckvigilante]

Following what Kano had told them the other day, it didn't take long for Yuri to realize that others would be appearing sooner or later--new prisoners of the Kagerou Daze who were probably as confused as he was before the meeting. So naturally, taking a stroll through the never-seeming-to-cool city, keeping an eye out for people he didn't know and seemed very confused and-slash-or scared became a part of his daily routine.

"Let's see then..." he whispered to himself as he set foot out onto the street.

To avoid getting bored of seeing the same things every day, Yuri took a different route every time. A good idea, as it helped him learn more about the foreign city, where different parts and quarters were located and making a mental note about every potential shortcut he found.

"This is probably the shopping district," he realized when he saw several shops and commercials line up on the streets. Looking around himself, the vigilante found loud cars, quiet resting areas, annoying advertisements, a quivering ball of red and blue against a wall--

Wait a minute.

Yuri stopped and turned back to the ball of clothes. Upon closer inspection, he saw the ball had white hair that was falling into a pale face. A face he didn't recognize. "I guess it was a good idea to come this way today," the black-haired man noticed quetly before walking over to the now-recognized-female person.

Making sure he didn't seem threatening, Yuri raised his voice a little to grab the stranger's attention. "Hey. Are you okay? You seem a bit lost."

((Alrighty~ Would you mind writing a starter then? I usually suck at those so… ^^”))

[the-echo-of-a-noise-deactivated]

((Ah, I’m having problems with starters too =_=. I wrote some earlier, but it often takes me alot of time to write them due to self-confidence issues))

[stuckvigilante]

((SOMEONE WHO HAS THE SAME PROBLEMS. I AM SO GLAD I FOUND YOU.

I do have an open starter that totally did’t take about two hours to write because im pathetic but I could try my best at making a starter for Echo-chan if you’d like. and have nothing against waiting orz))

((Yusss. I thought I was the only one! :D .))

(( I’d be glad if you could ^^ . I have a starter too though if you want. Not the best but at least it’s something. ))

((IMMEDIATE FRIENDSHIP. //highfives

I just read your starter and... WOW. My post is nothing compared to yours! x3

You'd have to wait for a bit though, since I have to take our dog for a walk first~))

Everyone needs to stop apologizing for their blog.

Take ‘too long’ with replies? (What is that? You post when your muse is good and ready, and your stress levels down.)

'Spam' the dash with your posts?

Gasp!!! You post longer threads and drabbles, and someone whines they don’t like ‘scrolling past it’?

You post plenty of imagery and text that applies to your muse?

You state on your front page you are a NSFW blog that has triggers as well and people still cry that they can see your posts that are tagged as such. (Hypocrites, you can block that easily, you DO want to see it, just not what CERTAIN muses post.)

You like a certain ship, and half your followers decide they don’t— so they use passive aggressive anons to make you flag it or stop it?

You don’t want to play with every single muse that comes to you?

This is YOUR blog, and if someone has an issue with it..they can either un-follow, blacklist, or mute your posts. Come on. You can’t expect respect unless you demand it. If you post all your rp’s at once…SO WHAT. If you rp in asks mostly, SO WHAT. If you post masses of images and quotes pertaining to your muse? SO what.

If someone doesn’t like it, they can put themselves out their own misery and UNFOLLOW. Stop being sorry for what makes you happy, and how you construct and conduct your blogspace. 

NO one is obligated to please everyone. That’s called quality control.

[demisekun-deactivated20140501]

     Yesterday’s performance was certainly something, alright. After being stuck in this Daze for a little over a week or so, information at last had been delivered. This world was, as he assumed, trapping people that should have never arrived. The star from yesterday’s performance also mentioned something about eye abilities and joining some “Mekakushi Dan” that could help with said powers… Pharos ultimately settled with not joining the Dan due to his indecisiveness.

     Despite the unbearable temperature of the Kagerou Daze, this world was awfully quiet. The child found the emptiness of the city parallel to be comforting—just…something about it made it pleasant to him. It wasn’t that he enjoyed the isolation, though! The current amount of people in the Daze was fine as it is. Even if a thousand people ended up trapped, it was an iota of a number compared to the real world’s population.

     Besides, not many people showed up to the gathering yesterday; Pharos could only remember that there were three girls and a tall man—speaking of the tall man, the dark-haired male’s gaze just so happened to come across him as he meandered through an empty street. Perfect! There were a few questions that he had in mind, and hopefully Yuri could answer them.

     Being as sneaky as possible, Pharos approached the other from behind and suddenly spoke, “Hello! I saw you yesterday.” Already he was displaying a large grin.

[stuckvigilante]

Yuri was deep in thought ever since Kano's explanation yesterday. So the burning in his eyes was being caused by his ability? And those abilities are connected to what he wished for most at the moment of his death...

A sigh escaped him. It was hard to wrap his mind around being dead. This time, it wasn't just falling into the ocean and being saved because he conveniently carried an important sword. He really was dead back home. Ignoring the stab in his heart at that thought, the 21-year-old forced his mind onto more important matters.

Like the little kid that suddenly appeared out of seemingly nowhere.

Instincts took over for a second, his body moving into a defensive stance on its own. Another second went by before Yuri relaxed again as he saw who it was that spoke. One of the others from yesterday's meeting. The kid with the weird fashion sense and the torrent of questions, to be precise.

Throwing him a quick smile, Yuri shifted his weight. "Yeah," he answered simply, "I remember you. What is it?"
