Hello... you're a funny little thing, aren't you? Who made you, huh?

[ Visual ]

[ Suddenly there's a bright flash of light. ] Damn! [ As the light fades, Dark's face finally comes into view. ]

Not exactly what I was expecting, but I can work with it.

Alright, talk. How many of you are there? How long have you been trapped in this world?

How can this world even support this many humans? This doesn't make sense.

[give_kitty_cake]

What doesn't make sense about that? The world I came from had lots of humans in it.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Sure, the world of humans. This, inside that book, not only shouldn't it exist but it shouldn't be nearly this powerful.

[give_kitty_cake]

World of humans... I said there were a lot of humans there, not that they were the only creatures in existence and the world certainly does not belong only to them.

[You annoy a demon cat with talk like that, but back to the matter at hand.]

It was a magical book we opened. I don't have any idea how powerful it really is but clearly if it brought us here it is strong enough.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

[ Man it totally does though. It sucks. ]

It shouldn't have been able to bring me here.

[give_kitty_cake]

Why not?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Because I'm not like you. [ Alive. Real. ] If this world is what I think it is I should be able to come and go as I please, but I can't.

[give_kitty_cake]

You don't seem very different...

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I doubt you have much experience with things like me. You don't look like much of an art connoisseur, no offense.

[give_kitty_cake]

I have seen many things, I doubt anything you could be would end up surprising me.

[She had after all fought against two girls who were the living embodiment of children's toys. ]

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Glad to hear it. It gives me an opportunity to try and sweep you off your feet.

[give_kitty_cake]

That isn't very likely.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

I like a challenge. I haven't even gotten your name yet.

[give_kitty_cake]

Koma. What is yours?

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Dark. It's a pleasure to meet you, Koma.

[give_kitty_cake]

[Koma just nods at that. Her version of a 'its nice to meet you too'. ]

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

What is it you guys like to do for fun around here?

[give_kitty_cake]

I don't know. I only arrived a few days ago.

[Though there is this nice sunny napping place she found... but that wouldn't interest a human. ]

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

[ Ah, but he could spend the hours gazing upon your beautiful face~ ]

So you haven't had any fun yet? We'll have to fix that.

[give_kitty_cake]

[Gee ^^" ]

Wouldn't you rather spend time trying to settle in? I think you can find a room in the castle to stay in until you can find your way back home.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

What's the point of settling in if you can't have fun?

[give_kitty_cake]

Well, if you do manage to find something fun to do you will have to tell me about it.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

You mean you won't join me?

[give_kitty_cake]

No. I intend to explore the countryside a bit.

[ex_apaintingdarkly917]

Alright, fair enough! I'll take a rain check.
