[The residents of 1246 Williams Road, if they are home, may hear a thud as a very startled someone falls out of the bed that is most definitely not his. After a moment wasted sprawled on the floor and gaping at his surroundings, Firo dashes out of the bedroom to find roam the house and search for his captor(s).]  

Hey! What's goin' on here?!

[He moves through the house throwing open doors willynilly.]

[Firo's wandering Mayfield, alternating between a frantic trot and a dumbfounded stroll as he tries to get his bearings. Numerous times he attempts to confront a drone for more information, but quickly leaves each one after a frustrated and confusing conversation. After one such talk, he stomps away from a cheery neighbor and imploringly asks the heavens: ]

Is there anybody who makes sense here?

[Growing steadily angrier, he stalks about the town, not noticing that he's walking in circles. 

Point that out to him? Point and laugh?

And because finding yourself in a strange place eliminates any need for manners, you also may find him peering in the ground floor windows of various homes to try and find out just what in the world this place is.]

[Rise's wondering about town too, getting used to it herself, when she notices Firo. She giggles a bit before approaching him.]

Hehe. Hi! Are you new here, too?

[The sound of a normal person's voice causes him to visibly jump. For a few minutes he just stares, wondering if it's too much to get his hopes up that this person will actually be helpful.]

Hi... I-I dunno. I think I might be lost.

[enemyradar.livejournal.com]

[She smiles.]

Lost, huh? I'm pretty new here, but I can try and help you if you want me to.

[ what are you doing in my window...

when he sees Firo there, he raises an eyebrow and walks over to open it. ] Did you know that this kind of activity is illegal?

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[...Admiring it?

Firo jumps back when a face appears.]

Didn't actually expect somebody... I'm just tryna' find out where I am.

[A pause]

I'm pretty sure it's not that illegal.

[kuichigiru.livejournal.com]

Trespassing is illegal.

[eatinurpudding.livejournal.com]

Excuse me...but what do you think you're doing? Don't you know it's rude to sneak around people's houses...especually a lady's.

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[He jumps at the sound of a new voice and wanders over to the door.]

Sorry. I'm just tryna' find out where I am.

And how was I supposed ta' know you were a lady?

[eatinurpudding.livejournal.com]

Well you could have just asked someone or gone door to door. It would have saved you a lot of trouble.

[And Yin looks right back at Firo through the window. People really seemed to like trespassing these days... In any case though, she eventually opens the window.]

Did you need something?

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[Relieved to finally find help, he smiles.]

Ah, yeah, actually! I think I'm lost and I need directions. Any chance you could point me to Manhattan?

[pseudoll.livejournal.com]

Although Mayfield is supposedly located within America, it will be impossible for you to go to Manhattan.

[why is there someone looking through the window

why is there someone looking through the window

...He's staring back.]

[Firo smiles at the kid and waves. If he really wants to get directions it's probably not a good idea to scare him.]

Hey, can I ask you a quick question?

action

[isolationbox.livejournal.com]

[You're already scaring him, bro.

He goes over to open the window?]

Wh-what is it?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[As Firo throws open the door to Kyon's room, he mumbles from under the covers...]

Hey, I'm trying to sleep here...

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[Firo marches over, grabs Kyon by both shoulders and gives him a shake.]

Who are you and what do you want?

[slave_of_suzumiya]

[Dammit, what the hell is...]

Right now, I'd just like to sleep.

[... Oh hey, this guy is new, huh?]

[miriaaaaaaaaaaa.livejournal.com]

[And Isaac catches him peering into his house's window. A familiar face besides Miria in Mayfield? He's overjoyed]

Firo?

Firo! Is that really you? Oh, this is great, fantastic even! It feels like it's been ages, friend!

[Isaac's exuberance is enough to startle Firo into backing away a few paces]

I-Isaac?!

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[He smiles]

How've ya been?

I-is this California? That's where you said you were goin', right?

[miriaaaaaaaaaaa.livejournal.com]

[He smiles as he rushes out to give Firo a brohug]

I'm not actually sure if this is California or not... it very well could be a part I've never been in! We did go to California, and all sorts of other places too!

Ah, Miria and I have been doing well! This place apparently gave us both families to take care of! It's been great! My family can train animals and fight in big robots and all sorts of stuff you only see in the movies! It's incredible!

Though this place gets a little scary at times, I've been well!

[Ninian is in the kitchen, making breakfast, while Firo is stomping through the house. His sudden appearance causes her to jump up, and she gasps in surprise. Was this man another new arrival, like her...?]

Um... ah... hello?

[justdumbluck.livejournal.com]

[He's rather surprised to find who he assumes is a vile kidnapper doing something so innocuous. As such, his tone is more shocked than angry (for the moment.)]

W-who are you? What's goin' on here?

[dragonlitany.livejournal.com]

Oh, you must be...

[She trails off uncomfortably. "The new husband" was the term she wanted to use, but that's -- just a little embarrassing.]

...Well, my name is Ninian, and this is... Mayfield. I don't really understand the how or the why, but... we're trapped here, with no way out.
