[When he wakes up, he has to take the time to make sure the world isn't playing tricks on him. Instead of his comfortable, familiar home in the pagoda, he's ...in a bed. A real bed. The room is a wash of pastel blues and lace ruffles fit for a princess and he makes a face as he sucks on the cinnamon candy in his mouth. The pack of canines have traveled through the world shift with him and they raise their heads as one to survey and sniff their surroundings.

Aaron fumbles for the jigokuberry on the nightstand, struggling to remember how such a device works before finally seeming to get the hang of it enough to switch the audio function on.]

Can ...anyone here me? Did the world move on? I woke up in this weird bed, but I can't find anyone else, so...

[He eases off of the bed and makes his way to the door, opening it with a loud creak that can be heard even from the jigokuberry. A decently-sized sitting room, and then another door leading to the hallway. Taking a deep breath to hide his uncertainty about this whole situation, he pushes the door open, holding the jigoberry close with one hand while training the other on the scruff of his pet's neck. His breathing is a bit more ragged now as the scent of decay and must hits him. This place is old - old and lonely and not a good place at all.

There are probably ghosts. He still really hates ghosts.]

Someone please call in. I-I need to know that people are alright! Wait - Blanca, no!

[Something of a soft curse before the berry is shut down and the boy takes off running after the frightened, yelping cub.]

[ Garry is in the halls - he hasn't checked his Jigokuberry at all, so he doesn't know what to expect when he years yelling and scuttling downstairs. fire poker in hand, he'll run downstairs as quick as he can - only to stumble upon a little white puppy(?) running straight for him as he hit the first floor.

he doesn't see any sort of danger nearby... so he'll crouch down. he hadn't met any ghosts that looked like puppies yet, so he trusted it for what it looked like. ]

Hey- what...?

[The cub was pure white, with a pink nose and pale blue eyes. She yipped and howled as she pressed herself towards Garry, tail tucked between her chubby legs. A few moments later the blonde boy came running up with ...uh ...another wolf, who was much larger, three other canines ranging in size and species behind him. He gave the puppy a helpless look before raising his eyes to Garry, brow furrowing.]

Sorry! Something scared her and she just took off!

[ looking up from the puppy between his legs to see a blonde boy running down the hall after her makes the whole situation a lot more comfortable - but when he's followed by several over canines he's just sort of...stunned into silence. his hand gently pets the little white wolfs head. ]

[He offered Garry a shy smile, putting a hand out to grab the scruff of the largest - a black and grey beast that's very near hip-high to the teenager.]

Sorry, really! This place is really weird and it smells like ...like things that she's smart enough to know to avoid, you know?

[Better not to say death. Death meant potential ghosts and he didn't want to think about the potential for that. Not yet.]

She seems to like you, though.

[ when he easily holds back the wolf beside him Garry at least knows that... they have no intention of harming him. he'll stay crouching down though as long as the puppy is scared between his legs. pet pet pet. ]

You just came here, didn't you? This is Jigoku... we're all stuck here.

Jigoku...?

[He stopped cold, testing the unfamiliar word, trying to debate if anyone had ever spoken it around him before. Processing ...processing...

Nope. Nothing.]

Stuck here like ...trapped with no way of getting home?

[His shoulders sink, the hand in the big wolf's scruff tightening slightly. The wee cub licked at his hand, whining softly.]

Not to where we used to live, at least.

[ he wishes he could tell him some good news... his eyes focus on the pup between his legs. poor thing- a little baby being dragged into this.

if she lets him, he'll scoop her up in his arms as he stands. he figures she'd feel better being closer to her owner and the other dogs...wolves? wolves and dogs? wolves and pug... ]

I can get you some sort of...care package, though. It isn't much, but its the best we can scrounge together for everyone. I can get some dog food, or meat if it isn't spoiled, for these guys...

[ Kotomi doesn't get half of the broadcast, really. She's too blank for stuff like this and definitely too oblivious, but there was one thing in there that caught her attention. It's why she's replying - really slowly and with a super blank tone, but she wants to know. ]

Does the world move on without people sometimes..?

[Yosuke peers at the computer. What's with all the phone calls lately? Do people not like using their webcams? Well, whatever the reason, this kid sounds weirdly calm. Freaked out a little, sure, but not to the same extent as someone who showed up and -

... does he have something with him? A big dog or something? The heavy tread is something you learn to distinguish from the Nekomata that roams the halls, after all.

Well, Yosuke comes onto his feed.]

Yo. Newcomer?
