♘ second step ♞

[polarization]

[ So, now that the whole hot springs debacle is over, Sefton has found himself a bit... stuck. He's found necessities like the kitchen for food and the forest for sleep, but considering he's returned home, found out no time has passed, and keeps 'accidentally' returning to the Plane on occasion, he's getting a liiittle bit pissed that he can't just go home and stay home.

Right now, he's checking out the ballroom, seeming impressed with the whole thing, but it's hidden beneath a veneer of, "Ugh, why. :|"

Standard disclaimer applies. ]

Were people trapped in here, too?

{Diva is lounging on one of the couches and reading because of a lack of energy to do much else, but she closes the book with a frown}

Of course not. I brought this here myself.

[polarization]

[ He swivels around to face her, a bit startled. He hadn't noticed anyone else was here... ]

You did?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

I wanted to throw a ball, so I brought a ballroom here with me. The Plane is pretty, but just having a ball there would have been boring.

[polarization]

How... did you do that?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

You must be new. Ne, you can bring things with you to the Plane if you want.

[polarization]

... Even entire buildings?

[madamemoiselle.livejournal.com]

This is the only one I've ever brought, but I guess so.

[Kuhn never really bothered to look at the ballroom before this, but spotting the kid there, he can't help but stop and have a look for himself.]

Huh? Trapped in here? ... If they were, it was before I ever showed up.

[polarization]

[ He startles and twists to face Kuhn, then frowns and lets his shoulders slump. ]

When was that?

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Well, according to my time, ten months. Start factoring in the whole time-freezing bit, and the time I spend actually here? And I couldn't tell you. [Shrug]

Wow. This room's pretty impressive, though.

[polarization]

People get trapped here... often, then?

[ He shrugs at the 'impressive' comment. ] Yeah.

[silenteden.livejournal.com]

Not that I've seen. I've only ever been trapped in that onsen. Anytime else I've been here, it's been by choice. I mean, except for the first time I ever came, obviously.

[polarization]

What do you mean?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Ah, my good friend, we are reunited again! I told you we would see a great deal of each other!

[polarization]

[ —!! Sefton turns and steps back at the enthusiastic voice, and inwardly cringes. ] "Good friend"...?

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Of course! I have a gift for knowing these things at first sight!

[polarization]

[ He quirks a brow at the wording. A knack? ] I doubt that.

[hostclubdaddy.livejournal.com]

Time will prove me right. I predict that in a mere matter of months you will call me your good friend as well!

[polarization]

And I still say it's a waste of time.

[Kyouya lack of being impressed by the ballroom (but it's up to his standards!) is hidden beneath his companionable smile]

It doesn't seem as well-suited to host individuals for very long.

[polarization]

[ Ffft, he takes a half-step away instinctively. ] I guess not... I don't know why else it would be here, though.

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

[it isn't polite to notice people backing away, so Kyouya will pretend he hasn't]

Perhaps someone wanted to dance?

[polarization]

So it just showed up because of that?

[hostclubmommy.livejournal.com]

It's possible within this type of world, don't you think?

[polarization]

I don't know. Maybe... [ He shakes his head. ] "This type of world"?
