The Mall

Tab

You head over to the mall and find Mattea over at the cafe, waiting for you. "Hey! So what was it you wanted to talk about?"

Morgan

"Oh, that place? Sure. Let's go. You lead the way. You probably know how to get there better than I do."

Lyon

Avalon looks like she snaps out of something. "Oh! Sorry, Lyon. I was a little lost in thought there. You didn't keep me waiting. I only just got here." She stands and smiles back at Lyon. "So, do you have anywhere you would specifically like to go now that you've had some time to get used to your new surroundings?"

Natsumi, Tai

While you wait for your meeting, you notice two people walking toward you. The boy and girl from the picture on the phone. They seem to be looking around for you, but aren't sure who exactly you are. That's right, you never gave them a name or description aside from being weird...

Tai sits, groaning.

Natsumi, Tai

Bouncy Ball Guy looks at you, confused, but Raine looks like she realized who you were. She takes his hand and starts to bring him toward you. She looks determined to speak, but mostly stands in front of you, mumbling shyly. Fox watches for a moment until she finishes and looks at you. "Can I have my phone back?"

Morgan

"Regret having you around? Nah, I don't think so. We're friends, so why would I regret having you here? I think everyone on our team is pretty cool. Even Karl, despite that I pretty much kicked him the first time I met him. But after I got to know him a bit, he's not so bad. Just a little, well, Karl."

Tab sits down, observing the mall around him in a new light. "Hmm... Well... I'm not sure where to start. Last night left us so many questions, and to be honest, I was kind of... scared to return to the mall. I'm glad you showed up, because I'd absolutely lose my mind if the world started changing again and I was alone. But we should start simple. First off, why did the real world turn into the other world? Or, did the other world reach out to the real world? Was it triggered by... emotion?"

Natsumi and Tai

He crosses his arms and looks at Tai seriously. "Don't make jokes like that. I want my phone back. You can't keep it or that's stealing." Raine looks a little panicked and steps back a little.

"M-Maybe...we should leave. This is...s-scaring me..."

Tab

"I...don't really know. It seemed like Lisa had something to do with it. But I don't think that was Lisa. Her eyes were glowing like she was possessed. The other world was definitely connected, but..." She trails off before taking a sip of coffee. "...Hmm. It's definitely strange..."

(Natsumi immediately freaks out that the specific person who caused her to start not telling people her name because she didn't want him knowing her name used her name)

Natsumi continues to sit with her face in her hands. She needs a minute.

Tab: "You're right. We've been visiting the other world for a while now, but we still know so little about it. But Lisa and Somnis... there's so much going on with those two, isn't there? ...Hey Mattea, do you think we can REALLY trust them? Because I don't know what the right answer is myself..."
