[As soon as the ghost touches him, Link feels a surge of disgust submerge his mind. He manages to jerk his arm away and out of the ghost's grip, but he tumbles backwards and lands on his butt as he's assaulted with the memory of undead bodies, charred buildings and thick, dark clouds. He could see the central fountain in Hyrule Castle Town again, crumbling and bloodstained. The air smelled like sulfur. Like a volcano. He doesn't like this place; he'd made it go away already. He'd erased it from ever existing. But all the sights and sounds and smells were yanked to the forefront of his mind, and all he could do now was gasp on the ground and grab his head.

He can hear Dipper's voice, although he doesn't understand what he said. What is he doing...? Link told him to just keep running. Now, like this, he'll get caught... he'll turn into a Redead too, or get thrown into that massive lava pit, or crushed by falling bricks... Why didn't he keep running?

Link squints at him from the ground, upside down, his head pressed to the floor and tipped backwards.

No... no, this isn't Castle Town... it's that dark hallway, and this boy is... well, that boy he'd been running with a second ago.]

S-Stay back! [Link feels for his sword beside him, but doesn't find it. Crap, here comes the ghost. It reaches out for him again, but its palms slap the floor as Link sloppily but successfully rolls out of the way.]

Yeah, definitely ready!

[ Which is good, considering he has to lead the thing clear across the board! But it's not a problem. He's always been one of the faster people he knows~ He shoots Minato a grin over his shoulder. ]

No problem! Right?

[ Dude, if Yosuke knew how to fix it, he would be working on that right this very second! But as it is, it not only seems completely intermittent, but also like something he can't do anything about. And geez, if that isn't unsettling...!

He pretty much double-takes at Link's request. ] Wh- seriously?! [ But he calms down in the next instant, with a sigh and a small shake of his head. ] Well, okay, sure. But...

[ So he reaches out, puts his hand in Link's-- Nope, actually, he doesn't, because it glitches right through. Yosuke shudders a little. ]

Oh man, how creepy can it get...!

[ He's quiet for a second... then he sighs. ]

You know, maybe a year ago, I'd say there couldn't be anything weirder than that. Now? I think I know better. Even if this is a completely different place...

[ He shakes his head. Then he blinks, like he's remembering something, and looks back up at Yuri again. ]

I'm Yosuke, by the way. Nice to meet you. And thanks for the answers, man.

[ Then prepare to eat up all of the praise, because this kid might as well be a little bit starry-eyed right now. ]

Where'd you learn something like that?!

[Anything he wanted to say instantly fades away in the realization that he has well and truly embarrassed Gino. He would feel bad, but he's honestly amazed at the fact that Gino can even turn that shade of red. Normally Akane is the victim of his teasing, but he'll take this, too.]

You-- do you think-- [He can't even bring himself to ask what Gino's thinking, instead just tossing his head back to laugh. It feels good, after how tense everything has been, so he doesn't try to cut it short or even look remotely sorry about it.

When he calms down enough to merely grin, he speaks again.]

Man, I think I needed that, so thanks.

Eugh. Noted.

[ He makes a face just thinking about how the blocks might taste... no thanks. ]

Well, if it's tetris... if we can make the blocks form straight lines, they'll clear out. Maybe if we clear out everything, we'll win?

Whoa. I... guess it floods in space too, huh?

[ Yosuke, kid, you really need to open your mind a little bit better. ... Don't worry about him, he'll get there. Eventually.

He takes a seat across from her, still looking around - but when she asks, he turns to her with a smile. ]

Now that you mention it, yeah, actually. So what's good here?

[ He tries not to stare, he really does, but... he can't help it. And it's not just because he's sitting across from a beautiful woman (obviously that's part of it, but seriously, that's not the whole of it), he just really, really wishes he could remember. Friendships are powerful, bonds are a powerful thing. And sure, it's not his fault, but... why did this have to happen at all? ]

The weirdest thing I've ever experiened...

[ He pauses... because just how much can he say? Anything at all? Everything? This isn't home, right? So...

Eh, what the hell. ]

Gotta say, the TV world. There's a world on the other side of TVs, and my friends and I went through a TV to rescue people who got shoved in - before they could be attacked by these monsters called Shadows.

[ He takes a moment to deal with a block, then looks back over to Hiro. ] So where does that set the baseline?

It's...another planet.

[Anyway, well, now that they're sitting and he's just staring at her she shifts a little. This is actually not as awkward as it could be, but it's still strange, that face and that expression.

Turning the menu around, she points to a section of pasta dishes. Just...anything to get his attention off her for a second so she can think. So she can breath, and focus on what needs to be focused on.]

These are all good. And they come with a tea or coffee of your choice. I come here fairly often with my girlfriend.

[She doesn't put a lot of emphasis on that last word, but it's definitely dropped in there for a reason. Yosuke, you were sweet, but you really never had a chance. And it's best to just get any of those thoughts out of the way now, and make it plain too that they were just friends. At least, that's her logic.]

Owe you a hand, [Quatre corrects with another smile.] Metaphorically anyway. You're helping me out a lot, so I'd like to return the favor, if there's ever a way that I can.

[Really. This is a lot easier than he expected this game to be.]

Judo class!

[ she punches at the air. ]

I can even teach you!

Dunno. Ain't like I have anythin' like that anyway usually. Zanan's out in the woods. It ain't safe for wolves in cities back in Weblin.

[Though there are some vague comforts in Zanan -- what's left of their fortress.]

There aren't any woods here, as far as this city'll allow. I mean, you can throw a bunch of grass from the gardens on the floor, maybe, but I don't think that counts.

((continued from here))

This place is weird. It's very different than what I'm used to.

[...So just different more than weird, really, but whatever.]

Much louder, too. But yes, mostly in my world we just have to deal with bespectacled boy heroes being nuisances all over the place. I imagine it's easy to top that. Care to share any of the craziness of this world? It would be good to know what to expect.

[Watches him expectantly!!!]

[May as well be king of death. Arles is good at what he does, and a lot of what he does involves killing. That's the way of the world.]

CERES, huh? Those're the bastards in charge. They suck they sound like they suck.

[Seriously. He wants to meet them so he can express his displeasure with his teeth.]

[It was totally fun. The looks on the stupid soldiers faces. Definitely worth it. And besides, they got Rath back, and for as much as Guillan picks on him, that matters.]

Right! ...I don't like bein' kept in though. At all. 's like bein in a cage, even if it's a big cage.

((continued from here))

[He really wants to argue and the look he shoots Riku is about as skeptical as one can get, because random fruit floating in midair can never mean anything good, but. Well.

It's not as though this situation could really get any stranger.

So he jumps up as they run beneath it, lifting a hand to snatch it out of the air. Immediately, the number 100! flashes where the cherry used to be and then fades away, and Draco grins.]

Brilliant, points! So probably I'm still beating you, then.

[...Easily distracted. But the ghosts remind him of their presence soon enough, and suddenly Draco's hauling the fruit back in his arm.]

I'm going to throw the cherry at them! Maybe it's a magic cherry!

[One that...solidifies ghosts! Or something. ...He really had NO idea how this game works.]

[Scowls a little.]

No. It's not an invented word where I come from, it's a common term! It's simply used to describe a person who can't use magic. That's what you are, yes?

[ good attempt, Guillan. Zara wishes he could be so optimistic. Simple-mindedness might be a blessing in this case. But even though he thinks that, in truth, his own train of thought on the matter isn't so different. If Fiona isn't all right, he doesn't know what he'd do. He's afraid to even think of it. Therefore, she has to be all right. ]

... Yes. For the time being, it would probably be best to believe so. Worrying and mourning them won't help us or them.

[Arles no... Not that Kashuu can really speak considering he's a morally grey Literal Weapon™ and all but still!]

Mmhm. They deeefinitely do. I've heard they've been messing up since way before I got here, y'know? And I've been here for a pretty long time!

A gilded cage.

[He supplies with a wry smile.] It's what this is. They may provide as much to us as they wish, but it doesn't change our lack of freedom.

[Really, he needn't worry, Hinata thinks... but far be it from him.] No problem. Hang on, I can show you with...

[He digs around for his CereVice (takes a moment to look at Namazuo's arm) and lets it float while he pulls up the map.]

This is where we are, and here's where the dojo is. It's in the gymnasium. Some of it's still being repaired right now, but it should be back to normal in no time.

[Usopp is grumbling and picking himself up, and refastens his suspenders, though...they're kinda stretched out now so his pants are riding lower than usual (considering how high he wears them normally, that's not really a bad thing)] Is it? I mean...wouldn't you rather be back home with everybody?

[sigh. he comes over to the edge of the roof with Luffy, looking out over everything] ...it's not as bad as it could be, I guess.

Ohhhhhh. It's a metaphor. [ That explains everything. ] Why didn't you say so before, sir?

[ And yeah, this kind of game has nothing on Ket. (Hangman, on the other hand...) Another row cleared, only five more to go! ]
