[ Eric isn't very happy right now. He's wet and he does not like being wet. His hood was up and though it would probably be better to lower it and get his hair dry, he didn't feel comfortable enough to do it, mainly because he had no idea where he was. ]

Tch. Damn Chihuahua...he didn't have to push me in the water...

[ Although he half knew that he wasn't pushed, there was no way in hell this was under the water they had just been at. Having woken up from being possessed to finding out the King was dead then to suddenly be here...It wasn't helping that his cellphone wasn't working, he had this weird starfish phone thing, and couldn't recognize a thing or anyone. Maybe the Colourless King was doing this again...

If anyone is in the central area they'll notice this guy wandering around, though he's also sort of avoiding people so have fun trying to get his attention]

[ Well.

She wasn't expecting to see anyone else, but that hood and blond hair peeking out.

Definitely familiar.

Hello Eric, a small child is taking your hand. ]

[ He wasn't exactly expecting someone to take his hand and before he removed it, he looked to see who it was and he would recognize that white and red anywhere. ]

Anna? What are you doing here?

[ Good. She should be recognizable. ]

I have been here for a while...

[ Well, not holding Eric's hand for a while, but in this underwater place for a while. ]

... this way.

[ There is someone you should see. ]

[ Hard not to be, not many girls look like Anna. ]

But you were just around not log ago...how'd you get here?

[ Probably a rare time with Anna holding his hand. This place is confusing. ]

Where are we going?

[ ...Should he be worried? Or excited ]

At a river, at the school island?

[ Because that's where she was.

And Eric should totally be excited. Anna is tugging him toward a replica of Bar HOMRA. ]

So...you too?

[ He was there too.

Excited sure but also why the hell is there an exact replica of the HORA bar here? ]

Do...buildings come here as well?

[ So he's been spending quite a bit of time wandering about the city. After all, if he was supposed to start life anew here, best to figure out what exactly this place was about. The first thing he noticed was that new people usually came back once a month.

He's taken to wandering the central areas and the plaza during this time as that was where they seemed to show up the most just in case there were any other members of HOMRA to show up. This month seems to pay off. ]

Oi.

[ That "oi" may be a bit familiar, especially when a towel is now flung toward Eric the minute he turns. ]

[ When he heard the 'oi' he turned because yeah that did kinda sound like someone he knew. Though now all he can see is white thanks to a towel to his face. He removed it from his face and stopped himself from snapping at the person who had done once he realized who it actually was.

Wait...what? ]

Y-you're...

[ There was no mistaking him. Mikoto was right there as if he wasn't dead just a few minutes ago. ]

But, you had...

[ Eric's confused here give him a minute. ]

Aa.

[ But that hand on your shoulder should be proof enough that he's here. He's alive. It isn't an illusion or a dream. He's real. ]

Don't ask. We haven't figured it out either.

[ Hands back in his pockets and motioning for Eric to follow when he turns. ]

Let's get you back to the bar.

[ Yeah it was a bit surprising but, he was real, either that or he was going crazy but he doubted it. The King's back! ]

Um...okay...

[ He waits a bit before he nods and follows behind him, still just whaaa? ]

We have...a Homra bar here too? Who else is here?

Izumo had it set up when he was here.

[ Yeeeeah just wait until you get to the bar. His hands are in his pockets as he continues to walk off. The bar, oddly enough, is the same as it is back home. Down to the sign and the facade and even the interior. He utters a faint "I'm back" to no one in particular save for the bartender who raises a hand to them in greeting. ]

Anna's here. Izumo went home. Same with Yata.

[ Slumping onto his usual couch though before he continues. You might want a seat too, Eric. ]

Tatara's here too.

People come here and then...leave?

[ Oh joy. Eric is surprised how there is basically an exact replica of the Homra bar right here in this weird world. He nods slightly to the bartender before continuing to follow Mikoto.]

What happens when they go?

[ He pauses for a moment before sitting down on one of the chairs. He almost stumbles though when he hears Totsuka's around]

Dead people...really are alive here...

[ He's gotten used to the fact that back home he's dead. The fact his sword's gone and he doesn't have his flames. It still feels weird to hear. ]

Dunno what happens. Here one day, gone the next.

[ Shrugging. ]

That guy who killed Tatara's here too.

[ Not knowing what happens when people leave. So what would happen if Mikoto left? Would he be back to being dead? Eric didn't really feel it was a good question to ask]

A..ah...

[ Wait what? And he's still alive? ]

The Colourless King? Or the one we with white hair? [ He had a name but can't remember]

Guy with the white hair. Isana.

[ Unfortunately, he doesn't want to think about his own fate if he left. Most likely dead. ]

He's okay. Colorless king's not here.

Isana, huh?

[ When he hears that the Colourless king isn't around he relaxes a bit, being posses was not a pleasant feeling he wanted to experience again]

...That's good.

How long, have you been here for?

Aa. Nothing like the colorless king.

[ The second question makes Suoh pause and glance back at Eric. ]

Few months. Six?

As long as he's not here, it doesn't matter.

[ He blinks, a bit surprised by how long it has been.]

That's...a long time. Is this place, interesting?

[Honestly, he'd just been going for a walk because he felt like it. But he recognized that voice and that hood, so he snagged a towel with one hand and turned the camera to face him. Best to record all the meetings he can, right?

Stepping directly into Eric's way, he offers the towel, smiling up at him.]

Yata isn't here, and that's not why you're wet.

[Eric probably won't think it's really him, huh...He has been dead for him for a while most likely, just like all the others.

Maybe the camera and the smile will convince him.]

[ The first thing he noticed was the towel, and when he looked up he noticed the camera. And it wasn't just any camera it was his camera and that...didn't seem right. He was going to growl at whoever thought this was a joke but when he went closer to get a more look at the guy the smile and everything... ]

T-Totsu...ka?

[ Maybe the Chihuahua did push him in and he drowned, he was dead and that's why he can see him cause there's really no other way behind it.]

Is this some kind of joke?

Hello, Eric.

[Oh no, don't ask that... He shakes his head, still smiling at him.]

It's not a joke. If it helps any, you aren't the only one who was surprised to see me.

[Shiro had been, and the other three had been too, though the wound in his side quickly convinced them...]

Not everyone who shows up here is dead, by the way.

[Seeing him, that'd probably been his first thought after thinking it wasn't really him.

King died and killed Shiro before hand, though Shiro hasn't gotten that far. Kusanagi-san was still alive, and so is Anna. Eric and the others had better be fine.]

H-hi...

[ That doesn't help at allll. Eric shuffles a bit closer and takes hold of Totsuka's free arm. It didn't go through, he was here and alive. ]

...Is...is that right?

[ He hadn't even thought he would get to see Totsuka again, let alone be somewhere he has no idea is. And dead and alive people are here, this place really was a weird one. ]

You're fine?

[Telling him he never actually died here since he arrived before he died that night and got medical care probably wouldn't help. He's already shocked enough by him being here at all, not to mention the fact that Tatara hasn't properly explained this place to him.]

Kusanagi-san, King, and Anna were too, and Isana, but you might not know who he is...

[He'll have to explain that later. There are more important things now, like getting Eric dry.]

I'm fine. Kusanagi-san made a Bar here that looks just about the same as the other one, except I've put other things in it.

[Really that is the biggest difference; the things that are sitting around that don't really belong in a bar aren't all the same...]

[ Yeah maybe tell him all of that later, things are a bit much now too many dead alive people. Though he's glad to hear that there are others he knows. ]

Is he from our...place?

[ He's really not sure how to phrase it, since apparently anything is going to be happening here. Oh yeah, he'll take that towel now and kinda start to dry his hair, taking the hood off of his face. He smiles slightly at that mention.]

Like more videos?

[ Especially if Totsuka shows up in them, even though he's standing right here. ]

Yeah.

["Our place" is easy enough to understand, since he's obviously not talking about HOMRA. He shrugs, putting the camera back to his face.]

Other videos, and fish. [And some other things, but those are the bigger ones.

Seriously, there's a lot of fish. Enough for all of HOMRA to be named. He hasn't recorded himself, really, apart from during the cold curse. He recorded them all during that curse. His voice is in a lot more of the recordings though.]

[ Oh there goes the camera again, Totsuka is really addicted to it huh?]

...Fish?

[Maybe he should, so this way when anyone goes back they could maybe take them with the. Or if Totsuka leaves they have more footage of him to remember him by.]

[...Not addicted. It's just an easy way to make sure he remembers!]

Yeah, fish. We found a lot with red on them and brought them back to the bar.

[Mostly in case someone leaves, so they can remember. People don't know when they're about to leave after all.]

[ So addicted.]

Why would you take them?

[ That's...kinda sad but also kinda moving ;;]

[Not addicted.]

Ah...You don't have to pay for things here, so saying we bought them isn't quite accurate.

[Isn't that how it works with this idiot?]

[ First step is denial]

You don't...pay? But, that's okay here?

[ That is slightly worrying to him, couldn't they get in trouble or something? And that's how it always work with that idiot stop it!]

[Ah, but one step could be anger and we both know that's hard for Tatara.]

Well...there's this one place that you have to pay at; the Nostalgia Nook. Everywhere else, you don't. As far as I know, no one's ever been stopped or anything at any of the other places.

[He'll try his hardest to stay out of trouble, don't worry. /headpats.]

[ So he'll just be stuck on the other step until he accepts it.]

What's in that place? So...anything you want...is free? That's...strange

[ He better or else Eric will not be happy :/ .../wagstail]

[Hahaha...]

Things you can only find in people's worlds, I think. Kusanagi-san said he got that jukebox from there.

[He nods.] Strange, but convenient. We don't need to find jobs or anything to get food, for one.

[Most important detail. Ah, Eric probably wouldn't be the only one... /headscratches]

[ >:3]

Is that where, you got your camera?

[ He fidgets, that whole free thing is just weird to him. Don't you have to earn your keep or food? ] ...Really...so...what do you do here?

[ He wouldn't but he will be a part of it. .../melts and wags tail faster.]

No, actually! It's not exactly the same, but it works close enough.

[It's a little different. He might be one of the only people able to see the differences though...]

I help out at the bar sometimes and spend time with King and Anna! And I make new friends.

[He shrugs a little.] It's like home except without the raids and other clans, really.

Then, where did you get it?

[A camera like that is just camera man to Eric anyway]

It's...just like usual then...

[This doesn't sound so bad, plus people who aren't alive anymore are so it's really not bad]]

A different shop! There's all sorts of shops here.

[He nods.]

Like usual. Just not everyone is here.
