[ Last thing he remembers is the fight. How much his injuries hurt, how hard he'd tried, and then how amazing Gaara had been.

When he opens his eyes, Lee expects to find himself in the hospital room once again. But... this is no hospital. It's some sort of bedroom.

Not his.

He's careful not to disturb anything in the room as he takes a look around. It seems one other person lives here. Where that person is, Lee does not know. The person owns many things that seem to be a completely different language.

He's not happy about this sudden change in atmosphere. What could have brought him here, apart from very strong Genjutsu? He'd thought the battle was over, but perhaps it's only just begun. He's still bandaged, and he can still feel the dull pain left over from the previous battles. However, this is not something he can -- or ever would -- turn away from.

First, he'll have to locate the reason for this jutsu.

Cautiously, Lee steps outside the dorm room and glances around. Where to? How would he even go about this? ]


[[ ooc: just a note, I wrote his native language as Japanese, so unless someone's speaking in Japanese to him or gives him one of those fancy translators, he probably won't understand. Everything spoken in Japanese will be in italics for now /o/ ]]

[The semester's finally over! Aerith passes with a bundle of papers to grade, though she stops to greet the newcomer on her way. She doesn't think of the translator at first.]

Hello! Are you new to Garden?

[ Eugene's casually thumbing through an autobiography of a thief that he'd found the morning by happy accident while cleaning the library book shelves, when he sees --



-- Are those dead bugs on his face? ]


Uh ...

[ He walks over anyways, lifting up a hand in greeting. ]

Newcomer, I take it?

[Outside: Slughorn is bringing a case of various items culled from the Home Ec classes back to his room. Which means he's casually directing the progress of a floating case with casual gestures of his wand as he walks along.]

[Gakupo just happens to be passing by when he spots someone skulking around. That's suspicious.]

Are you trying to hide from someone?



(ooc: Gakupo does speak Japanese, but he's using English at the moment.)
eggplantallergy: (Gakupo: OMG)

[personal profile] eggplantallergy 2013-01-16 02:43 am (UTC)(link)
[Wait...is that Japanese?]

...eh? Me? I don't even know you!
jointheclub: (oh dear)

[personal profile] jointheclub 2013-01-16 03:14 am (UTC)(link)
Pardon, pardon, do look out --

[He glances Lee's way as he passes, then stops. His eyes sweep over Lee with a look of frank, clinical appraisal.]

New student, eh?
earthlychild: (Prayer)

[She doesn't understand. Oh no...that means she needs the computer, right? Or should she call on a translator? She takes a deep breath and pulls out her laptop, keeping her eyes on him.]

My name is Aerith. I know this is scary.

[She points to herself when she says her name, waves, then tries to smile reassuringly as she sends a quick PM to one of the staff translators. They should get here shortly.]

[As Lee's leaving the dorm, Gintoki is heading down the corridor towards it. And hey, is that guy coming out of his room?]


Oi, you my new roommate or something?

[Good thing his first language in Japanese. Gintoki's not too happy about having to share his living area again, though.]
guidethesun: (Default)

[personal profile] guidethesun 2013-01-17 05:53 am (UTC)(link)
Whoa!

[ Eugene puts up his hands defensively. ]

Edgy, aren't you?
fisheyes: (pic#5440930)

[personal profile] fisheyes 2013-01-17 10:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Obviously.

[Boooored. He sticks his little finger in his ear, wriggling it in exploration.]

Want? Ah, you could pay a tithe of candy, I guess? Not like I need much. Money's always good.
guidethesun: (Default)

[personal profile] guidethesun 2013-01-17 10:50 pm (UTC)(link)
[ Okay, Eugene doesn't understand a thing coming out of this guy's mouth. He pulls out his little computer and starts flipping through applications. ]

Is this some kind of language barrier?
earthlychild: (Thoughtful)

[Aerith wills the translator to hurry as she tries, making sure her posture is as open and docile as possible.]

It's okay. We'll understand each other soon.

[Sure enough, a translator soon arrives. The translator asks Lee 'do you understand this?' in a few languages. Hopefully she hit Japanese.]
eggplantallergy: (Gakupo: ...)

[personal profile] eggplantallergy 2013-01-18 06:11 am (UTC)(link)
That...would depend on how you define 'lost'.
jointheclub: (you said what?)

[personal profile] jointheclub 2013-01-18 05:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Merlin's beard, my boy, use your translator!

[Or did he not have one? Slughorn squints at him, searching for any sign of the device, then with a general flick of his wand performs a Summoning Charm. Of course, the object of the charm will take a moment to reach them, so exactly what it looks like he's doing is open to debate.]
eggplantallergy: (Gakupo: ...)

[personal profile] eggplantallergy 2013-01-19 01:16 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, no, I'm very sure about where I am.
earthlychild: (Sadness)

[Aerith waits a moment and receives the translation, then nods and starts speaking herself. She pauses after every sentence to make sure the translator has time to convey things.]

Years ago, a great dark magic affected this world. There was a war, and all of this world's timeline was nearly destroyed. The timeline damage spread through the worlds, and as a result people from many other worlds and times were brought here.

The people of this world are suspicious of outsiders because of what happened back then, so we've been taken in by Balamb Garden. This is a school that trains soldiers to protect the world, and in return for room and board we train here and eventually join SeeD, the elite army.

I know it's a bad situation. There must be something in your world that you're worried about, and very few of us wanted this. I'm sorry.
jointheclub: (really now!)

[Slughorn, having expected no such aggression, lets out a yelp as his wand is snatched away.]

Now give that back!

[He wags a finger at Lee just in time for the translator to slap into his hand with the lingering energies of the spell. Slughorn looks blankly at it for a moment before remembering that he'd summoned it, then brandishes it at Lee pointedly.]
guidethesun: (okay so what happened?)

[personal profile] guidethesun 2013-01-20 07:06 pm (UTC)(link)
Calm down, it's just a translator.

[ This guy is just weird. ]

What language are you speaking?
earthlychild: (Mystery)

[personal profile] earthlychild 2013-01-21 01:19 am (UTC)(link)
Yes, I'm afraid it is. And I can't tell you when you'll get to return to your world. People just seem to disappear every now and then.
eggplantallergy: (Gakupo: Hmm?)

[personal profile] eggplantallergy 2013-01-21 03:05 pm (UTC)(link)
We're in Balamb Garden. It's a military school in some strange world. It's not all that bad of a place, despite being kidnapped from home due to a magical force unable to send us back when we desire.
jointheclub: (and here it is)

[personal profile] jointheclub 2013-01-21 05:00 pm (UTC)(link)
[Beware the threat of the really old guy, Lee!]

[He continues to brandish it with a stern, expectant air that comes from decades of teaching students. For all Lee's misbehaving, Slughorn continues to file him in the category of "misguided youth" instead of "open threat".]

[THAT'S GOOD ENOUGH!

With reflexes that a lightning strike would be proud of, made even more impressive by the sight of proffered booze, Gintoki snatches the bottle away and... holds it to his chest like a child hugging a stuffed toy.]


Ah! This is good, this is good! Gin-san will always accept alcohol in payment! Besides, kids shouldn't carry these around - Gin-san'll take good care of it.

Oi, oi, you think I don't know that? My sober state is a dire situation.

[He shuffles back, still clutching the bottle.]

This is a tithe, got it? Think of it like a welcome present! You can't just take it back, it isn't neighborly.
guidethesun: (not amused)

[personal profile] guidethesun 2013-01-28 05:40 am (UTC)(link)
[ ...seriously? ]

Not literally.
