[backtothestars]

[ So one moment he was doing homework at a ridiculous time in the morning, and then the next, he was not.

And he's cool with that, since that he's pretty sure he's either hallucinating or has fallen asleep and dreaming.

So he's just going to wander until someone bumps into him and tells him that he should wake up from this random dream and get back to studying. Or something. ]

[Oh hello teammate we didn't see you there--

No, really, Hayabusa didn't. Actually he's not really around. You see that flight of stairs you're heading for? Hayabusa just oh-so-gracefully fell down it.

And landed on his face. Ow.

What will you do?
> Point and laugh
> Ignore him and keep walking
> Check to see if he's okay]

[backtothestars]

[ >> Check to see if he's okay!

Real smooth, Hayabusa. Hoshifuru will just gracefully step over to his teammate and stoop down next to his head. ]

...Have a nice trip?

[onvioletwings]

... Something like that. Nice to see you, too.

[Can he not get up? Because ow.]

[backtothestars]

[ He'll just get a smile in return.

Come on, friend, Hoshifuru will be standing back up and offering a hand to Hayabusa. He can't seriously want to stay sprawled on the floor, does he? ]

[onvioletwings]

[Okay yeah, ow, staying on the floor is probably a bad idea.

Thanks for the hand, though, buddy. Hayabusa's not about to turn down help.]

I'll leave the graceful entrances to you next time.

[backtothestars]

I think that might be for the best. [ He hopes you have learned your lesson from that rather abrupt fall just now. ]

[onvioletwings]

[If the fall itself didn't do it, the resulting bruises will. Ow.]

So you ended up here too, huh?

[backtothestars]

Ended up ... here?

[ Hoshifuru frowns lightly. This isn't a random dream corridor? His dream actually has plot this time? what is this. ]

[onvioletwings]

Yeah. I dunno how it happened or where exactly we are, but... [Blanking out at what to say next, he simply gestures, hoping the other will get what he meant.]

I thought I dozed off while studying for the exam coming up, but that fall felt a little too painfully real for a dream.

[backtothestars]

Strange.

[ Since he was studying as well. Maybe he should try and experience the fall himself?

'Scuse Hoshifuru, he's going to go up those stairs now. ]

[onvioletwings]

Uh, Hoshifuru, I don't think that's a good idea-- [Hayabusa scampers up the stairs to follow the other, looking concerned.]

[backtothestars]

Move, please.

[ He's not going to believe you until he tries himself, since Hayabusa could just be a figment of his imagination and it could just be his subconscious trying to trick him into staying asleep. ]

[onvioletwings]

Don't say I didn't warn you. [He'll back off, crossing his arms.

... And maybe covering his eyes, he just can't watch.]

1/2

[backtothestars]

[ Well then. How is he going to do this fall? There are several ways this could go... if he was just to tip backwards it would be pretty painful and sure to jolt him out of this dream.

But if he were to just tip backwards, and it wasn't a dream, then it would be very painful.

Whatever, yolo and whatnot. TIPPING BACKWARDS IT IS. ]

2/2

[backtothestars]

[ Crap it's not a dream. ]

[onvioletwings]

[That sounded painful. Here, have a Hayabusa coming to check on you.]

... Told you. [B|]

[backtothestars]

[ Yeah, yeah, just... let his head stop spinning before you start speaking, Hayabusa. He hit his head pretty hard and he didn't even bother trying to stop it.

To save himself from making a potentially embarrassing noise, he's not going to even attempt to talk. ]

[onvioletwings]

[... Well, hopefully that wasn't hard enough to give you a concussion, bro. Hayabusa just silently holds a hand out to help the other up.]

[backtothestars]

[ Hopefully not.

He's not allowed to have a concussion, it's not permitted. It would interfere with his schedule so bad--

--but then he's in some weird place now, isn't he?

Taking that hand but... being pulled up would make his head spin so bad. What is standing steadily. ]

Ouch.

[onvioletwings]

You okay?

[backtothestars]

I will be.

[ ... ]

You're right. It was a terrible idea.

[onvioletwings]

[He opens his mouth to say "I told you so" but then shuts it. Now's not the time to be a jerk.]

[backtothestars]

[ He said it earlier-- but luckily Hoshifuru didn't hear it. ]

I guess we have matching bruises now.

[onvioletwings]

And you possibly have the bonus of a bump on your head. Please don't do that again; you'll end up giving yourself a concussion or something.

[backtothestars]

[ "if I didn't give one myself already" is ready to fall out of his mouth, but he'd rather just lean against the wall rather than admit it aloud.

Wow that was so dumb, Hoshifuru. Why did you do something so dumb.

Going to.... face the wall fully now and despair in his own "smart ideas". ]

[onvioletwings]

Maybe we should look around a bit. There could be an exit or something.

[backtothestars]

[ Just give him a second to recover. Of course his hair is still perfect because the fall didn't mess it up at all.

Okay never mind he'll just wing it, it'll be like those week-with-no-sleep things he does once in a blue moon. ]

Alright. [ one foot in front of another, good going, you can do this. ]

[onvioletwings]

[Hayabusa will just. Reach out to steady you since it looks like you need it.]

[backtothestars]

[ Hoshifuru sends a smile of thanks, but he is actually recovering! He can walk on his own.

The extra bump on his head is just a throbbing ache now. ]

Did you you think we should look in any of these rooms?

[onvioletwings]

Yeah, maybe.

[backtothestars]

[ Sure okay, gonna pull open the first door he sees. ]

[onvioletwings]

[Going to stand on tiptoes to see over your shoulder.]

... That's a lot of bookshelves... [And all of them look full, too... If they weren't searching for an exit, Hayabusa would want to poke around in there more, but...]

[backtothestars]

We can always come back.

[ You know, if they never find the exit. It would be a better use of time than wasting away. ]

[onvioletwings]

[This is true. Hayabusa goes to another door to open it--Oh hey a face full of wind. Looks like they found a door that leads outside.]

... This is too convenient. [Suddenly all of the red flags.]

[backtothestars]

[ He's all too cautious to go out-- so Hoshifuru will laugh at take a very very small step outside in front of Hayabusa.

When it's deemed safe, he'll move out of the room completely and stare at the outside with a frown. ]

[onvioletwings]

[There's a pitch, but beyond that... just a bunch of tall grass. Hayabusa steps out as well, walking on ahead.] It's like we could just walk off... [Despite what he says, he doesn't believe it. Also he's going to keep on walking across the field--]

OW! [... yep, invisible barrier.]

[backtothestars]

[ It was actually kind of hilarious to see Hayabusa walking and suddenly get knocked back by something invisible. But of course, Hoshifuru being the great friend he is, keeps his mouth shut.

Tsk, should have been more careful, though. Hoshifuru will just walk up to where the barrier apparently is and reach out a hand to see if he can touch it-- yep it's definitely there. ]

...So there was a catch after all.

[onvioletwings]

[Jeez that hurt--]

Apparently.

[backtothestars]

[ ...Have a comforting pat on your shoulder then. ]

We'll have to be careful here.

[onvioletwings]

Yeah.

Maybe we should explore the rest of that building or something.

[backtothestars]

That is an excellent idea.

[ And back inside with a dramatic swish of his hair. Yes he did practice this. ]
