You're the one asking!? You're my rival cause I said so, and no, you can't refuse!

[Have the frown of a lifetime]

[She's actually paying attention to something else at the moment — probably trying to figure out where the hell the hidden speaker is that's pumping out the BGM — so what she actually notices first is the sound of footsteps approaching.

Rapid trotting; probably a dog or small animal like the purple...thing tagging along with her. And another, slower...strangely uneven gait that could only come from a person wearing only one—

...Okay, seriously, that better not be a randomly shoeless — OH LOOK IT'S NAEGI-KUN why is she entirely unsurprised.

Well, hey, there are worse people to be lost in...DANGAN COUNTRYSIDE??...with, she supposes.]

Mm. You lost a shoe, Naegi-kun?

:33 < ARADIA!!
:33 < youre not exploded!!
:33 < wait, you mean everyone else is here too?? where ARE you all?!!
:33 < and where is here, anyway?
:33 < ...and we are ALL weird and squishy humans...? :\\

[Small talk. HER MORTAL WEAKNESS. Along with, you know, all the other stuff.]

I'm not certain. But I suppose it's silly to try to answer a question like that without knowing where I am in the first place.

[Spoilers: that's actually a lie; she totally read her entire Gear inside and out long before this. But it never hurts to see if the natives have their stories straight, for confirmation.]

You can't just force people into being your rival! [NARUTO THAT IS WHAT YOU DID.]

Who're you anyway?!

[Hey, asshole, isn't it against regulations to be that loud when you're dead—

no seriously

WHAT THE SHIT THO YOU'RE DEAD]

W-What?

no i am not! :D
i got better
well
i died again and then i got better so its no big deal! :)
also not everyone else is
equius is here though
and then karkat kanaya sollux eridan and gamzee
and all four of our humans and a few extras
and yes we all are!!
and we do not have our powers
but it is okay because there isnt really anything attacking us to kill us?

[...you know, he still has not gotten over the perpetual sense of "why this" that you tend to inspire, but he's not going to...complain, exactly. Instead, he'll just...]

Hagakure-kun, you had better have gotten the Center's permission to do this here...

[okay yeah he's going to complain but what are you even doing.]

Of course I can! [Yes, he is arguing.]

Name's Madara. [He states, sweeping another stone from the riverbed's assortment and preparing to throw it.]

[...this is going well already.]

...I-It's good to see you here! I hope you've been well!!

[You better have been well.

...look, the others seemed to take this in stride reasonably well, what is the problem here]

No you can't! You cant just--

[WAIT. Waaaaaait.]

Madara? As in.... Uchiha Madara?

Um, yeah... [ Wow, not even a proper hello? ...Well, he doesn't seem to mind because he looks really happy to stand there despite only wearing one shoe. Kirigiri's mere presence basically made his week. ]

But my search lead me to you, so it's a good thing.

[Okay, SHSL Crimebuster, get your shit under control, here. That is a decidedly dead Ishimaru all up in your business right now. That is also a decidedly dead Ishimaru and not...you know...that other guy. Details, stick to details, details are easy and precise and logical and do not involve contemplating the fact that that is your dead classmate walking around acting like you just walked in to breakfast and as far as you know it's midafternoon sometime.

(Also you've considered the fact that by the way you're outside and also holy shit that sure is the sun but you're rapidly reassessing your conclusions at this point because before you thought you'd arrived at some semblance of explanation but now SHSL Dead Guy is here in front of you so apparently those were inaccurate on the grounds that you're just tripping balls.)

...and you've been staring like a robot all this time while you processed all that, too.

Man, is this ever going well already.]

Where is..."here"?

[Sir, she poked you, you are dead.

Did...

...did no one tell you that you are dead

did you miss that somehow

did you miss the social cue

are you too socially inept to remain dead]

[Oh wow, this human is just getting better and better! Karkat was way off on his assumptions of them. It was pretty obvious he'd blow them all way out of proportion, but Nepeta's just really glad they're a whole lot more fun than she first thought they'd be!]

:33 < h33 h33 h33!!!
:33 < *ac pawses to stare at the muscled human, pawndering to herself if hes as STRONG as a certain meowrail she really should be searching fur.*
:33 < h33, its just a name!! but umm...whats yours??
:33 < ... :\\\
:33 < *ac decides she will ignore the pawful human naming choices, and instead thank the nice and not-so silly human lusus fur thinking her horns sound rad.*
:33 < *ac also pawnders if rad is a good thing.*
:33 < i wish i could show them to you, mr. human lusus...but i dunno where my tablet is, or where i even am fur that matter. :((

[The boy freezes in mid-throw, catching the stone with his fingertips and bringing it back into his palm to perhaps use as weapon as laughable as it may be.]

How do you know?

[He has nothing to hide if he knows. All he can do is prepare for an assault. Shinobi are not supposed to say their last names. He still cannot get away from the shock and the bad feelings that come with someone finding out.]

[The heir ~~to a crapload of nothing in this world~~ is standing aloof of the city square, a little purple, gemstone-eyed creature crouched obediently at his side.

Sssssaaaaaa? the sibilant creature hisses with a strikingly eerie grin, reaching out with its claws at passerby until a sharp look from its master brings it back to heel.]

[...Kirigiri, if anyone could conquer death through the power of sheer social failure, it would be this guy. However, that isn't the case! ...Fortunately!

...it's fortunate, right]

Ah...has no one explained this place to you yet? It's all a bit hard to believe, but we've been brought to another world entirely...and while I know it's likely not very comforting to awaken somewhere you're not familiar with, this place seems both real and safe - no one seems to want to kill us here, at least!

'Cause, you're...

[He's fighting a war against you. A dead you. Sorta. And you're.... here. As a little kid. Failing at throwing pebbles.]

I sorta met you. The adult you, y'know?

[Togami smirks when he sees the familiar face with the psychic-type at her side, an expression eerily echoed by the Sableye trailing behind him.]

It seems we've found our way from one game into another.

:33 < ummm...i dont really understand, but im glad youre better!
:33 < and not dead.
:33 < :OOO!!!!
:33 < equius is here too?!!! is he okay???

[Oh man, if she still had her tail, it'd be twitching all over the place right now. Nepeta's practically clawing the ground with her bare feet, itching to head out and look for her meowrail. It's awesome the others are around, too, but obviously her meowrail comes first! She's gotta get in touch with him, soon, it just doesn't feel right to not see or hear from him in a while.]

:33 < wait, so...ummm...
:33 < can you explain everything thats going on? some old human person tried, but he was boring so i didnt listen. :\\ or understand what he was saying...

[he is sooooo not getting you. Just not at all.]

Adult me? You mean my dad?

[Brief confusion ensues cause his dad sort of looks nothing like him, but he does not drop his guard.]

[Look, Naegi, you cannot expect pleasantries when there are mysteries afoot. That's just silly.

...Of course, now that you're here we can start with HOLY SHIT THAT SURE IS THE SKY OVERHEAD, ISN'T IT, in terms of the deducin'.

(Speaking of deducing, Naegi-kun is acting suspiciously normal given the fact that OH BY THE WAY OUTDOORS and also SUN and DEFINITELY NOT MURDERSCHOOL. Taking into account a given amount of leeway considering Naegi-kun is always suspiciously normal — super high school level normal, one might even say — there still leaves a conspicuous amount of WHY DOES THIS NOT BOTHER YOU in play.)

(...Possibly some kind of gambit of the mastermind?)

(Although that doesn't seem to add up considering if Kirigiri had to make a list of all the things the masterm—)

(You know what, fuck it, let's just ask Naegi, he's right here.)]

I'm grateful for it. Do you know where we are?

[?????]

No, adult you, dumbass!

[And he doesn't know what to think about it. IT'S MADARA. But he's also some dumb looking kid.]

yes hes fine!
i believe hes in the same region as you too :o
so no worries at all!
also basically the short version is that we are in a game of fiduspawn
only more human game version?
also this is sort of a world nexus so people from different worlds slash times are here
it is sort of fun i think
like a very specific dream bubble but with less dead people!

....

[Wow. He thinks you have snapped. So snapped.]

You're the dumbass cause I'm a kid! You're taller than me you giraffe! You're the adult here!
