1st Hatred - Welcome to Mayfield

[hell_wheel]

[Wanyudo wakes up. That's the first sign something is wrong.

The fact he is in a bed is the second.

Looking around, he closes his eyes and focuses on returning home. Nothing happens. He feels weird. Wrong. He can't return, though, and he can't change. Both of those things bother him and he sits up in bed and frowns. The room has pictures. Including him and a lovely young woman. Oh, and a couple of kids as well.

Moving from the bed, he goes to the closet, noting the clothes before picking out an outfit and snagging a classy hat. Well, he's dressed and his head is covered. The clothes fit at least.

This didn't look like Japan, so the next order of business was figuring out where. Walking over to the phone, picking it up and trying to dial information.]

[Phone | Everyone]

[An older man's voice comes over the phone.]

Hello? Information?

Hello?

Comments

[hell_wheel]

[He listens and nods. He wonders if he would get the choice to stay.]

Kikuri... Where did she go?

[shallbeavenged]

...she's a drone now.

[hell_wheel]

I see.

[Well, that is not promising.]

How about others, are there any still here you speak with?

[Or did she stay to herself? He did not like to picture her dealing with tihs town without help.]

[shallbeavenged]

Scout and Ema. Scout lives as my father. Ema was my mother for a point but then came back in a different house.

I know Shana and Pokey somewhat.

Slugger is....my friend.

[Small pause on that one, because really not sure how to explain Slugger to him.]

Saki, Jane, Aisling, Mia, Aaron, Shiki, Shurou and Matsumoto, were my friends but they're gone now.

[hell_wheel]

You have made many friends. Even if they are gone now, I am impressed.

[He never thought he'd see that, honestly.]

Tell me more about the three who are here.

[shallbeavenged]

It's strange.

[She really knows that.]

Pokey is mostly Slugger's friend. And Shana I see at school sometimes. Slugger....Slugger is ...similar to me.

[hell_wheel]

Similiar to you?

[It may be strange, but it was oddly a relief to hear.]

[shallbeavenged]

[She nods.]

He's an urban legend from Japan.

[hell_wheel]

Interesting.

Anything I might have heard of?

[She's also talking with him more. That's... different. Still, this was not a normal circumstance, them ordering deserts together.

Soon enough a peice of pie and a milk shake arrive at their table.]

[shallbeavenged]

[Yes, milkshake score. Ai takes a sip.]

Shounen Bat. I hadn't heard of him.

[hell_wheel]

Neither have I.

[Wanyudo knows many older legends Maybe it's too new for him. Taking a bit of his pie.]

What is he like?

[shallbeavenged]

Quiet. Dark....I like him.

[A darkness similar to her own. And getting away from that last statement.]

He taught me how to roller skate. I taught him how to play marbles.

[hell_wheel]

[That was surprising. He's trying to picture her rollerskating.

Couldn't be any stranger than some of the nightmares they all enacted.]

He sounds interesting.

I will keep an eye out for him.

[shallbeavenged]

[She'd dressed up a a bumblebee for one of those. Nothing will beat that.

She nods at that. Awkward as it would probably be. He should meet Slugger.]

Season 3... what a mind trip

[hell_wheel]

[He would keep an eye out for Slugger, and anyone who thought they were going to cause problems for Ai or those she mentioned.

Eating more pie. Pie's tasty, a little dry, but tasty.

Pokey.

Shana.

He should probably meet these individuals too.

He might be an older man now, but that wouldn't last forever. Also, he still knew how to fight.]

So, about his friend Pokey and this girl Shana.

What are they like?

pretty much sums it up

[shallbeavenged]

Shana's a warrior of some sort. She's immortal. She says she is my friend. She likes to fly.

Pokey is human. He seems fairly normal.

[hell_wheel]

Shana sounds interesting.

Though Pokey confuses me more.

[Friends with the their kind. People confused him all the time though.]

[shallbeavenged]

Does he?

[hell_wheel]

Normal people don't just stick around our kind for long.

Maybe he is lonely.

[It's always hard to tell, people can be surprising.]

[shallbeavenged]

Fairly normal.

And the town has many strange people here.

[hell_wheel]

I am starting to see that.

I have received various comments and warnings to that effect.

[shallbeavenged]

Have you?

[hell_wheel]

Dangerous people, including other captives.

I will conceal my nature from them while still taking up my duties to the best of my ability mistress.

[shallbeavenged]

[She nods.]

I can not perform much of my role here. Until we manage to free ourselves we will have to remain a part of the town.

Keep safe.

[Yes that is a command.]

[hell_wheel]

I will.

[He bows his head.

Of course, the town might not let him. Still, he's going to try.

He's died once, he doesn't really care to repeat that.]
