Comments

[Does anyone ever expect Duster to wake up on time? Those who do are sorely disappointed when his reaction to finding himself on grass is to open his eyes a crack, roll over, then go back to sleep.

He's certain he forgot he was sleeping outside a tent last night. Or he rolled out. Or someone who gave up on shaking him awake decided the best course of action was to drag him out of bed and towards their destination. It's too early to think.]

[chondriosome]

[Aya, on the other hand, is very much alert when she realizes that she is not asleep in her bed. So she'll be the one shaking the sleeping Duster.]

Hey. Wake up.

[Don't make her use magic on you, bro.]

[mindofathief]

Uhhh... [He let's out a choppy groan of protest as she shakes him out of dreamland. And then he pushes Aya's hand away while propping himself up with his other arm.] Okay, I'm awake. Let me-

[His eyes go wide. There's no tent. No campfire. No sign of things he'd normally take on a trip. Was he traveling last night? Duster goes through his rec w by memories. No, he was staying home this week, taking a break between monster hunts until he earned enough to but a quality bass. There's no reason for him to be out here.

He sits up and gives Aya a concerned look.] Where were you taking me?

[Because that's what's obviously happening.]

[gorgeous_sin]

[Oh good, he's up. Lust was just about to offer kicking him awake. As a joke, of course. Really.]

[His question prompts a fractional raise of a slender eyebrow.]

Perhaps he fell on his head when he went unconscious.

[She directs a flat look at Aya before turning away. Given that she was exploring Aqures Tosf, Lust is armed to the teeth. The malboro blood on her Dark Knight's sword is still wet.]

[chondriosome]

[It's been a long time since Aya's done any camping. Since she was a kid, in fact. This is the last place she expected to be when she woke up.

[She just stops and blinks at Duster's accusation.] Excuse me?

[At least she isn't the only one here. Thanks, Lust.]

Maybe. Does anybody know what happened before we got here?

[mindofathief]

[Lust gets the faintest of scowls. He's not fond of her comment, but he's cold and tired. Old, worn clothes make for good pajamas, but not traveling gear.]

The last time I woke up in the middle of a field, someone was dragging me out of bed. [That someone was a dog, but his point still stands. He pushes himself up, soaking his socks in dirt.]

...So you don't know where we are?

[gorgeous_sin]

How would we? One minute I'm in Aqures Tosf, the next I'm here.

[She gestures idly with a flick of her wrist.]

It's safe to assume we were all brought here in roughly the same manner. I don't think there's much point in dwelling in the rhyme or reason of it, for now.

[Maybe once they actually find some information, they can speculate all they like. But she's not about to sit out here and wait for the person responsible to waltz right up and pull a power play.]

Up. We're leaving.
