[ Do you hear that Luceti? ]

A-AAAAAH!

[ That's the sound of your peaceful evening being interrupted by a yowling new feather. And a lot of splashing. ]

I don't want to die! [ The book slaps down wetly against the rim of the fountain. Anyone lucky enough to be in the square is greeted the the sight of a red-eyed, sopping wet new feather trying to scramble out of it, brightly colored wings flapping uselessly behind him. He's not having much luck of it. ]

W... where am I?! Konatsu? Lt. Hyuuga? [ A beat, and then a slightly higher pitched, more distressed. ] Teito? This isn't funny! I-it's a really bad joke! This is too far, even for someone like you!

[ And then the panic dies down a little, replaced instead with a terribly confused silence. Any who were fortunate enough to witness it are greeted with a baffled stare, his eyes moving slowly to the wings. ] Where... Is this...?

[generalflirt]

Okay, follow me then.

[ And Masaomi brushes back his hair a little bit at this. He gets up himself, and then puts his hands in his pockets ]

[antwort]

Lead the way.

[ And he'll follow like he has total confidence in where they're going. ]

[generalflirt]

[ Well it won't be that hard. It's just a walk out of the Square and then over towards the Flame Building. Not hard... at all..

They might chat while doing it, but whatevs ]

[antwort]

[ Well, he still could be an axe murderer. Or a monster. Or this could all be a dream.

Probably not, though. ]

The clouds look high here.

[generalflirt]

The clouds...? Dude, did you get mushrooms?

[antwort]

What do mushrooms have to do with anything? [ That's the polar opposite of the sky, Masaomi. That's the ground. Obviously! ]

[generalflirt]

Because I'm saying you could be high!

[antwort]

Aren't mushrooms low?

[generalflirt]

Dude. Keep up with it.

[antwort]

Keep with what?! Don't say nonsense things!

[generalflirt]

"Get high" means that you get like intoxicated and see shit!

[antwort]

[ How dare you insinuate that I, a member of the Oak family, would ever be intoxicated!

Nevermind he showed up that way. ]

I'm not! And we're clearly lower!

[generalflirt]

So what, you're from Laputa normally?!

[antwort]

I don't know what that is!

[generalflirt]

It's a castle in the sky!

[antwort]

Where else would a castle be...?

[generalflirt]

On... the ground? Where I'm from, that's conventional.

[antwort]

Well, of course they're on the ground. The castle doesn't just float. But they're in the sky.

[generalflirt]

[ . . . . ]

Do you guys have floating islands?

[antwort]

Of course! And continents.

[ ... ]

Isn't that what you have?

[generalflirt]

No? Not at all, actually!

[ but they're getting to his apartment building now, let's get in the Flame Building... ]

[antwort]

[ A stretch of silence. Shuri's trying to wrap his head around this, following after with a terribly puzzled expression. ]

I don't get it...

[generalflirt]

They're on... the water?
