Level 1: The next time we meet in this world [RH12]

[shiromadoushi]

[[The image appearing in your orb right now is that of the inside of the Two Faced Forest. There's the sound of birds, chitter of small woodland animals, but no sign of any sort of person or anything that might have turned the orb on. Strange.

That is until there's the sound of something shifting just out of sight and a low groan.]]

What....?

[[The image shifts at the voice, turning to focus on Bakura in his white mage robes, pushing himself up from where he seems to have collapsed on the forest floor. There's a small pond that seems impossibly clean and sparkling, and he looks a touch wet around the sleeves.

And very befuddled looking. He blinks a few times, looking around him as he sits up.]]

Where....?

Comments

[shorterinperson]

Are you alright? [ Why are you in the forest that is dangerous beast territory. >:| ]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa--- I think so... [[gets to his feet a little unsteadily, going to brush himself off before he pauses, blinking. While he's not quite sure why he was in Monster World robes, they seemed to fit somehow, just like how people speaking from a floating crystal ball seemed perfectly normal as well. However...

He lifts up his left hand blinking at the back of it a moment in confusion before flipping it over and blinking again before flexing his fingers. Huh.]]

[shorterinperson]

[ She gives him a look. ]

What on earth are you doing in the forest, Bakura?

[shiromadoushi]

[[There's a long pause as he just... blinks a few times, hand lowering]] I... I don't know... [[looks around him, seeming rather bothered by this]] There was something....

[for_that_i_run]

What happened? Did you decide to take a nap out there?

[This is not a strange question. Lantis does things like that all of the time! ]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa.... [[Very awkward look of not quite knowing how answer this]] Not an intentional one! I think I might have tripped...

[for_that_i_run]

I'm sorry. Are you hurt? I could always send one of these soldiers over to pick you up?

[They have horses and know how to ride them. ]

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink]] Soldiers...?

[greatsquirrelhunter]

Outside forest. [Faolan is helpful. Shouldn't Bakura know where he is? Faolan knows he's seen Bakura around.]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa... thank you. [[Even though that helped... not at all. But hey. That wasn't this person's fault!]] I just don't quite know where in that forest I wound up. I think I must have spaced out while walking...

[greatsquirrelhunter]

But outside forest now. Doesn't matter.

[shiromadoushi]

[[an awkward moment]] If I want to find my way back out it does at least a little bit...

[brosif]

Get out of that forest before nightfall, Bakura Ryou. I barely survived its beast.

[The tone implies that if SIF barely survived, Bakura's got no shot. Belittling is one way to show concern for another's life, really.]

[shiromadoushi]

[[This was starting to be like a Twilight Zone episode...]]

...Beast...?

[brosif]

Beast. Dead now, but there is no reason to believe others will not follow.

You were there, in the forest. When my insides lay out on the ground. Why would you venture back unaccompanied?

1/2

[shiromadoushi]

[[He can't help but blink, looking utterly befuddled at that. That... sounded almost like a cryptic riddle almost. If she was that badly injured, there would be no way she'd be that healthy looking... right?]]

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa-- [[rubs the back of his neck]] I guess I must have just spaced out when I was walking and not realized where I was going!

[[That was a safe answer, right?]]

[goldeneyeball]

Who, when, and how?

_{[JW, you asshole.]}

What's your problem?

[shiromadoushi]

[[that actually gets a sheepish smile from him.]]

Aaaa... I think I got a little turned around! [[rubs the back of his neck sheepishly. ]] Not sure where I wound up...

[goldeneyeball]

Well. _{[He lets a pause hang in the air.]} Looks like the woods behind my house. Get outta there. Shit in there makes weird noises at night.

_{[;-; Just like in Hawksaw. James was so homesick.]}

[shiromadoushi]

[[blink blink, blink blink. The woods were that distinctive? (What did he know about trees and grass, he was a Tokyo kid.)]] Aaa... [[looks up. No, no it's pretty clearly daylight. Mid day ish even? It was hard to tell with the trees blocking the sun]]

Sorry, didn't mean to intrude! [[bows very sightly before trying to figure out how the heck to get back to something that looked more like civilization...]]

[whatmuttiforgot]

What's wrong?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa.... I think I got turned around when I was walking... [[rubs the back of his neck sheepishly]] Not sure where I wound up!

[whatmuttiforgot]

Can you get back? Or are you too lost?

[shiromadoushi]

Aaa.. [[he looks around again, the slightest touch of clueless anxiety showing]] There was someone who said they could find me by smell... so if the really can, it shouldn't be any problem!
