première danse

[feeltherhythm]

[walking out of the Chaos Gate is a young Macabre Dancer with red hair. He looks a bit disoriented... And appears to be talking to himself] I can't say I remember ever coming across something as strange as this. Then again, it isn't every day you go to sleep in your own bed only to wake up on a stone floor, is it? Sleepwalking isn't really my thing. Granted, this whole costume gig isn't something I'm foreign to, but I don't think I've ever had to wear something like this. Eh, Fondue?

[he looks down only to find that he was standing there alone]

... Fondue?

[a quick search reveals absolutely nothing. No fur, no bandanna, no pretty poodles for Fondue to woo]

Oh... Where'd he run off to? [he turns to try and stop a passerby] Hello! Excusez-moi? Can I have a moment of your time? 'Allo! I'm a bit lost and it seems like my partner has gotten himself lost as well. Do you know where we are, why I'm dressed like this and have you seen an Altasian Cheesehund around?



[ooc: I have no icons, but I can't seem to bring myself to care. 8T also might be scarce this week, be back on the 21st]

[Judging by the questions the redhead was asking, he was probably a newbie to The World. Well then, the Shadow Warlock would be happy to help.]

You're in Mac Anu, this world dressed you like that, and no, and I don't think you'll have any luck finding him in town.

it comes naturally v//////v

[feeltherhythm]

Mac Anu? Guess I'm not in Paris anymore... [he reaches up, as if to either fix his hat or his glasses but stops with a frown when he realizes that he's wearing neither. He drops his hand to his hip instead] Though what makes you say that about my partner anyway? Sure, he's a bit of a chicken but he's a great dog.

♥♥♥

[shininghero]

I don't think he came to this world. There's a slight chance he might be here, but most of the time they don't pull partners into this world together.

[feeltherhythm]

Only a chance? He was right with me- [pause, because Fondue is all the family he has left]

What makes you sure my partner's not here, if you don't mind me asking.

[ooc: fuck it. /uploads placeholder icons w/e w/e]

[shininghero]

It's been like that for everyone else. Some of us were lucky enough to see familiar people a few weeks after arriving here though.

[trustydefense]

I don't even know what an Altasian Cheesehund is. Try asking someone else.

[feeltherhythm]

Well, someone woke up on the wrong side of the bed today. [/cheeky]

[trustydefense]

"In another world" would be more like it.

[feeltherhythm]

'Another world'? I know this costume is a bit much, even for the Fête de Paris, but...

[trustydefense]

I can't say I'm surprised at your reaction. It wasn't exactly common knowledge on my world, either.

[failedrescue]

[... A what?]

I am afraid I cannot be of assistance there. I am not certain what an Altasian Cheesehund is.

[noisyclockhands]

[ Oh, hey, someone whose accent sounds kind of familiar! Oz can hear something that sounds really close to him home beneath the translated words his relic offers.

You have never pinged anyone that fast..! Here, have a kid poke his head around a random corner and grin (and you might hear the accent and the actual words yourself)]

I think the answers to that would be: yes, yes, and no. Which is a shame, really!

'Allo!

[feeltherhythm]

[oh, fantastique! Another Parisian! He waves a hello]

Ahh, that last one is a shame... Knowing him, he's probably followed his nose to the nearest food stall.

Would you mind expanding on the first two answers though?

[noisyclockhands]

[ If by Parisian you mean 'a person from a magical country that somehow sounds pretty French' then yes, fantastique indeed! ]

...there are quite a few of those in this place!

I can! Still, it would be better not do that in the middle of the street, I think.

Oh, my name's Oz!

[feeltherhythm]

[well, Raphael doesn't know about alternate realities yet. 8T Go talk to Sonic for those shenanigans]

Oh boy, this'll be a fun little hunt for him.

The name's Raphael. [Italian name on a French kid with a clearly American voice actor. Yea, idek] Lead the way, Oz. I get this feeling that it's probably better to get all the info I need sooner rather than later.

[noisyclockhands]

The town is mostly safe, at least. Only...my sister lost her pet when she was brought here. I think that's pretty common.

[ not exactly an idea what a cheesehound is, but hey, if it is a hound? then he has an idea what might have happened

aaannd, we're heading into a small back-alley. Nothing much to see, but there are two handy-dandy barrels to sit on! ]

Raphael, then! A pleasure to meet you [ and the entire fandom has given up figuring out what country would have people with English surnames but French-sounding capitals. MAGIC always such a joy to be found ]

Isn't that how it's usually is? It's true, though, this place almost makes it more urgent.

[galaxiapride]

[He'll give poor Raphael a look.]

Cheesehund?

[feeltherhythm]

[he doesn't seem that bothered by the look]

Cheesehund!

[galaxiapride]

What is it?

[feeltherhythm]

He's a dog. What else?

[galaxiapride]

I see. It is not a very... common name.

[kingofkeepers]

[Well, Genda's more than happy to help since his partners are all missing too, it seems ;w;]

Looks like a video game, you get used to it, and a lost dog, eh? I can't say I've seen any, but I'll keep a lookout for you.

I'm guessing you're new.

[feeltherhythm]

[what are castmates?]

Well that was blunt but informative. Merci.

[sigh] I seem to be getting that a lot. Do I really stand out that much? [because he usually blends into the crowd better]

[kingofkeepers]

[we may never know]

I don't really like beating around the bush, so. [A slight chuckle] It's not really that, just the questions that you asked. ...That, and I feel like I've been here a while, so maybe it's just easier to pick the new guys out. [Despite the apparent drop in levels...]

[feeltherhythm]

Oh? So you've been around the block a few times... Mind helping out a newcomer and sharing some information maybe? It'd save me a lot of legwork.
