Does anyone know where this is? Because I've never been here before and I'm pretty sure it's not where the door to my house opens up to.

I think I'm lost.

And my front door is gone.

This is still Aldrip, right?

[There's an image of a street corner somewhere deep in the Entertainment district]

HELP!!!

[He'll just be kind of pathetically wandering the streets for a bit, trying not to panic.]

This is still Aldrip. [Avalon’s voice is flat and rigid. They know where they are, but that is the only thing they can be certain of at the moment. Their memories are jumbled together, each life in their mind insisting that it is the one they should believe.

They did not know that there was more than one form of apathy until now. The lack of emotion that they had in one of their lives was a void that could never be filled. This apathy is different — it forces itself into every corner of their being, as if filling their body with ice or stone. Everything inside them is frozen and there is not enough room to feel.

They lay on their bed, the only part of their room that is not covered with papers and books, completely still.] Everything must have changed somehow. [The world that they see outside is different from the one they left, regardless of which life is real. They know that it changed, even if they cannot tell what the original world looked like.]

[It's a bit of an awkward angle since Tsuna isn't really used to the video function, but there's still a look of relief on his face.]

That's good to know. But somehow is kind of an understatement.

Everything's changed in a big way!

[driving_from_the_backseat]

We have no idea why. All we know is that reality was glitching, and now it has changed.

[They were trying to clarify, and they know how to show that, but faking the emotional expression would take energy that they do not have. Even breathing is exhausting.

That is some proof that their supernatural life is the one that is real — their body does not need air. They have not moved in almost a day, but they have no need for food. They could lay here forever and not die.]

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, no kidding. Guess that doesn't help the whole, my being lost situation.

[He waves vaguely.]

And I'm gonna guess reality hasn't stopped glitching.

[driving_from_the_backseat]

I have no idea whether or not it has stopped glitching, but I do not recognize the place that you showed us. [They have yet to leave their room.]

[theskyaccepts]

I think I'm an example of things still glitching. It's at least one explanation for how I got here.

[But it's not the weirdest thing that's ever happened to him.]

Thanks anyway though. I don't suppose you can look up a map?

[driving_from_the_backseat]

The devices that we all woke up with could have one.

yea its still aldrip but it got bigger overnight
kinda weird if u ask me
some ppl ended up in places that werent actually their house tho so you might wanna check that

[theskyaccepts]

Yeah, way bigger!
And Super Weird!
If I can find my house. I was there, and then when I went out, I was here, and I can't get back!
I don't even know where I am!

[garbagecanned]

uhhhhh where r u now
theres like a whole area for houses now
weird

[theskyaccepts]

I don't really know.
There's a lot of signs though
and like, restaurants and stuff
some sort of entertainment district?
Are there maps?

[garbagecanned]

h/o

[... and then there's a screenshot of the home page being sent to Tsuna. it looks like a typical sort of cell phone screen, and an icon is circled on it.]

its called mAPPs
dumb af name tho

[theskyaccepts]

it's definitely that.
But at least it's something.

[A pause as he figures out the app, and seems to have found a route. He hopes.]

Was Aldrip always this big?
The map's different from what I remember

[strength_of_will]

That looks like the entertainment district. Keep calm, okay?

[ It's weird - William feels like he knows the place, and yet he also knows he hasn't been down that street himself. ]

Any other landmarks you can show us?

[theskyaccepts]

I'm doing my best. It's just really weird to be here...and not where I expected to be.

Uh...Does this sign work?

[A picture is sent along of a large sign with flashing neon lights, alternating between Hearts and stars.]

[strength_of_will]

Oh, I think you're near uh

[ insert other notable landmark and a street name ]

If you follow it down and turn right, you should reach the main street. I think? Assuming the place doesn't change again.

[theskyaccepts]

Got it. Man, that would be the worst if it changed again.

Has it been doing that?

[It would be worse than Melone base if it did. Still, he follows the directions.]

[strength_of_will]

After what happened last week? I got lost trying to find the church again. I'm just glad that the land itself didn't change even if the buildings did.

[theskyaccepts]

Did you find it?

The buildings aren't changing anymore, are they?

[entreats]

Honestly, just claim some place as your own if there isn't someone living there already and forget about your old place.

[ .. Not that.. that's actually such an easy thing to do, but Ange presents it in such a business-like way, like it really is that simple to her.. ]

Shouldn't be a problem.

[theskyaccepts]

I liked my house though.

It would be weird to just claim another.]

[entreats]

Why? I mean, it's not like any of the houses here were really ours to begin with. This isn't our home.

Then what's the difference between one building and another at that point?

[theskyaccepts]

I know.

But it's nice to have something familiar to hang on to. Something I can at least call home while I'm here. Especially since things are so weird.

I mean, I painted it and everything. It's a mark at least.

[entreats]

Do you think the paint would even still be there?

[ It's not a sceptical question.

.. for once, anyway. Ange figures there might be a chance Tsuna's house is still around at least somewhat in its original state, but.. ]

I feel like pretty much everything changed.

[theskyaccepts]

I would hope so. I worked hard on it. Starting over would be a pain.

[He'd still probably repaint though. Give himself something to do.]

A lot definitely did, so it would be nice to find something that stays the same.
