[redstone]

[This would be a Hakuba (in a light set of metal armor) throwing open a door, and slamming it closed behind him. He backs away, a long sword with a diamond blade held at the ready, and the door shakes with the sound of impact, but nothing comes through.]

[idek]

Ha-hakuba-kun.....?

[s'up, 20 year old Aoko in modern clothing with a sapphire ring on her right hand]

[redstone]

[He turns to face her, stares in obvious confusion, and then bows.]

Nakamori.

[He's seventeen, or thereabouts, and in addition to the sword and armor he has a (rather worn looking) pickax with a diamond head strapped to his side, and a large leather backpack with various torches, bottles, bones, and a small shovel strapped to it.]

[moptothehead]

[well this is certainly different, but worrying impacts come first]

I-is something chasing you?

[redstone]

It will wander off eventually, I'm sure.

[He's looking around now, a bit overwhelmed.]

Where are we?

[moptothehead]

Eventually...

[staying away from that door, thanks]

Oh! Ah, this is going to sound a little crazy, but this is a mansion that brings in versions of people we know from different worlds or dimensions. I'm not the Aoko you know.

[redstone]

[A little crazy, yes, but not too far fetched.]

She is a bit younger than you.

[moptothehead]

She's probably dressed differently too, right?

[well, first things first, then]

You aren't hurt, are you?

[redstone]

I am perfectly fine. [Muddy and sandy, with bits of gravel ground into the knees of his pants and a rather large amount of water in his boots, but not too injured at the moment.] Thank you for your concern.

[He's trying his best not to appear too overwhelmed, now that everything is sinking in.]

[moptothehead]

Do you want a bath? I can show you how to get a bathroom. Or new clothes.

[redstone]

I would appreciate that, thank you.

[moptothehead]

You should get clothes first. This way!

[leads the way to the basement stairs \o/]

So what was chasing you...?

[redstone]

An entire spawner's worth of zombies. [He's looking around at everything, very curious.] I tunneled right into it.

[moptothehead]

A—

[why does it have to be zombies]

Y-you're sure they can't get in?

[m-maybe they should try and find the bunker group while they're down here. Just. Just in case.]

[redstone]

The door was heavy enough to keep them out.

[moptothehead]

Did you lock it?

[does it have a lock? How many zombies pushing does it take to break a door open? How many zombies are in a spawner?]

[redstone]

I did, and once there is no one nearby, they will wander off.

[moptothehead]

I-if you're sure...

Um, can you describe what your world is like? Most of the doors down here have nameplates that have something to do with where we come from, so...

[redstone]

I'm sure I'll find it eventually, if there is a room here for me.

[He's... somewhat paranoid when it comes to keeping track of his personal belongings.]

Where is yours?

[moptothehead]

Mmm, mine is usually somewhere... over... ah!

[pushes on a door with a plate that reads Aoko Nakamori - Clearwater on it]

Here it is.

[redstone]

[He, curious, follows her in.]

This is a rather nice place.

[The entire mansion is centuries ahead of what he's used to.]

ugh sorry I'm so slow

[moptothehead]

[and this is probably particularly curious due to all the sketchbooks and art supplies scattered around. The rest are fairly normal outfits and accessories for her time.

...And maybe a mop. Or three]

It can be pretty helpful! We definitely never get hungry.

totally okay!

[redstone]

[And no matter the world, Hakuba is naturally inquisitive. He's looking around, looking at all the scattered things in the room. She's obviously not the person from his world.]

This place just... gives you food?

Re: totally okay!

[moptothehead]

Mmm, a lot more than we need, too. No one's ever seen it run out.

[ letting him look, hands behind her back ]

look who's slow now

[redstone]

[The sketchbooks are the most unusual things he's seen. There are paintings back home, of course, and books, but combining the two...]

Did you make these?

sadly I have done significantly worse

[moptothehead]

Yup! But they're just random sketches...

[redstone]

They're very nice.

case in point

[moptothehead]

Thank you. I'm hoping to get even better.

hahaha

[redstone]

I'm sure you will. The more you practice, the better you will get.

[moptothehead]

And I plan to practice plenty.

What is it you like to do, Hakuba-kun?

[redstone]

I am an explorer. Our world is in the middle of a technological revolution, and the resources necessary for progress are limited and difficult to find. [He supposes he like it.]
