[Setsuna's in a bakery trying to buy some sweet breads. Trying being the key word.]

Figure I better do this while I still remember. I keep forgetting to ask - how many of you would want to leave here? And how many of you prefer this place to your own world and would rather stay?

[Turns to the poor person behind the counter and pushes his money forward.] What's wrong with it? It's the amount you asked for? You can't take it?

[Frustrated, Setsuna puts it on the counter.] Now can you take it? [Watches as NOW it can be picked up. Is annoyed. Very annoyed.]

What the hell is going on here? [Turns back to the camera.] I'll get back to you guys. [Feed cuts off.]



[ooc: Pretend this was earlier today, and feel free to do action tags to interact with the bubble, or just harass him. Characters could even be the poor person behind the counter he tried to buy from.]

[sympathyforme]

[Kira watches the whole scene while leaning against a wall because he's not letting Setsuna use that network without close watch.]

Hm.

[He watches and he sees and he figures it out, smart as he is. Then he moves away from the wall and gives the barrier a push.]

Someone must be reading my mind.

[born_nameless]

I think I want to stay. This whole trip down the rabbit hole came at at a pretty good time and I'd rather take my chances than go back to trouble I can't get out of.

[valentineluke]

Stay, of course.

[beyourarmy]

You LIKE it here? Why?

[beyourarmy]

Is it really that bad, where you're from?

action;

[beyourarmy]

What the hell do you mean by THAT?

[born_nameless]

Some things better, some things worse. It's mostly me personally that has trouble coming. I think I need more time when this place isn't either sandy or glassy to form a real opinion about which city I'd rather be stuck with.

action;

[sympathyforme]

You are surrounded by an impenetrable bubble. You can't get into trouble. It's perfect.

[Smiiiiirking.]

Like those hamster balls.

[beyourarmy]

So, your time spent here is helping you figure things out?

And it becomes sandy and glossy? I hope that doesn't happen often!

1/2 action;

[beyourarmy]

No! It's not perfect!

I can't touch ANYTHING.

action;

[beyourarmy]

[He reaches for Kira, only to find his fingers can't quite even brush against him. His anger immediately fades to hurt.]

I just got you back, and I can't even touch you, either.

[born_nameless]

Remains to be seen.

From what I've heard it was just part of last month, but I arrived not long before it happened. Got stuck in the desert for a bit.

[beyourarmy]

So you believe that bit about time not moving back home? [Setsuna mostly does, but if other people believe, as well, makes it a bit easier for him to be comfortable with his situation.]

A desert? Yeah. Glad I arrived when I did, then.

action;

[sympathyforme]

[...why you do this to him? Now he wants to hug him.]

Oh, relax, Set-chan. We can make out when this is over.

action;

[beyourarmy]

[Oh look, anger again.]

You wanna do that, find yourself a girl! I'm sure you can seduce some poor chick for the night!

action;

[sympathyforme]

I'd think I could, too.

[Irritating Setsuna is fun, even though Kira doesn't really like this not touching, either.]

But that'd just be cruel.

[born_nameless]

I don't know. No one's ever mentioned otherwise and it's not like people never leave.

Yeah, full of ruins. I had to stand in line forever just to get back here, only to find everything made of glass.

action;

[beyourarmy]

It is, but that didn't stop you before!

[Even though he can't reach Kira, Setsuna's arm is still outstretched, fingers lifted, sadly feeling along the barrier.]

[beyourarmy]

Well, I believe it. And why waste you time if you don't? Don't have anything immediate to get back to?

...how the hell does that even HAPPEN? You sure some of that stuff isn't just illusion?

action;

[sympathyforme]

...come off it. I don't even have a place to take a girl to.

[He touches the barrier himself idly, pretending he doesn't really mind.]

So, how long will that last?

[born_nameless]

Don't ask me, I just live here.

[valentineluke]

This world presents numerous opportunities.

[beyourarmy]

For what?

...I mean, if you wanna stay here that's your thing, but I still gotta try to understand this.

action;

[beyourarmy]

Take her back to her place! Why does it have to be your place? And what do you mean you don't got a place? You live with me, right?

[That hurts a little, because Setsuna minds a whole lot, and it's evident on his face, the way his fingers keep probing, trying to find a vulnerable spot.]

I don't know. I never thought to ask how long these things last.

[beyourarmy]

But you'd still notice if it was an illusion, wouldn't you?
