[Kuukaku is sitting cross-legged on the floor in the foyer of the main hall, smoking her pipe and looking at the sunken-in zen garden. She was fairly sure she wasn't anywhere in Soul Society or in the Seireitei for that matter; nothing in those places looked so expensive and foreign. And the fact that she was above ground and the cannon she made was no where in sight... It would have been pretty hard to miss.

Instead of freaking out and panicking, she's just going to sit here and smoke her pipe until she decides to bother with trying to find some answers. Now if she didn't have her pipe then people were going to die she was going to be even more irritable.]

[Despite being bruised and sore still, Gokudera's on his way outside to test some slightly modified bombs he's been working on. He pauses when he spots the strange woman on his way to the door, though.

He slows to a stop and takes his cigarette out of his mouth.]

Hey.

[Action]

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

Eh?

[Kuukaku glances at Gokudera... well that was a good sign, turns out there were people... Just no one that looks familiar.]

[Action]

[hurricanebomber.livejournal.com]

You're new.

[He's pretty sure. He may not know everyone, but he at least recognizes most of the ones he doesn't know.]

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

And?

[Her expression doesn't change from that observation.]

[He scratches the back of his neck.]

Most people aren't so calm about it.

Running around and screaming like an idiot doesn't appeal to me. That's more something my brother and his dumbass friends would do to shame the family name.

[He eyes her and wonders if maybe she shouldn't wear more clothes to avoid shaming the family name.

...No. Nope. Not a good idea. He puts his cigarette back in his mouth and shoves his hands in his pockets.]

Good.

[Good choice, Gokudera, otherwise you would find out what happens to those who smart mouth the head of the Shiba clan.]

Any idiot can run around screaming and not notice that there's snow on the ground when it's supposed to be the middle of the summer and that none of their belongings are with them.

[He occasionally manages to keep his mouth shut. Mostly with people who are older than him.]

It's February here.

Where'd you come from?

[Action]

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

Soul Society.

You don't look like one of the Rukongai residents or one of the Shinigami from the Seireitei so I'm gonna make a guess that you're from elsewhere.

[Action]

[hurricanebomber.livejournal.com]

Would it help to say I have no idea what you're talking about?

[He frowns.]

Well, where ever the hell Soul Society is, this is a different world completely. It's called Wonderland.

[Action]

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

Hn... You from the Living World?

I've figured that much out already minus the name of this place.

[Action]

[hurricanebomber.livejournal.com]

You're dead?

[His superstitious side is twitching a little. He's watching her closely, but he shrugs.]

Not everyone does. Anyway, there's no way to leave again.

(Hubb is just taking a walk, when he happened to notice someone new, sitting in the snow. He glances in her direction, being about as talkative as he normally is.)

Hmm.

[Kuukaku still makes no effort to become familiar with her surroundings as she breaths out a cloud of smoke and goes through the mental list in her head of all of her things back home that are now left unattended. She was in the middle of working on some fireworks before she... well... disappeared.]

Re: (Action)

(Well, apparently, she's not into talking. Hubb finds a convenient place to load his gun, content on shooting practice.)

Re: (Action)

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

[She steps out of her musing and finally notices that someone was standing around, staring... How rude.]

...

Re: (Action)

[2ndhandlion.livejournal.com]

(Hubb finishes loading his shotgun, noticing the woman has looked up at him.)

Yes?

Re: (Action)

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

Let me guess, you're stuck here too, right?

Re: (Action)

[2ndhandlion.livejournal.com]

Yep.

(He replied, shouldering the gun. Since it seemed rude to start practicing next to someone else.)

Re: (Action)

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

And there's no rhyme or reason why we're here and there's no directions to get back home?

Re: (Action)

[2ndhandlion.livejournal.com]

No clue why any of us are here. It's been theorized if you get the queen, we get to go home because everyone thinks she's behind it all, but she lives behind the mirrors.

Re: (Action)

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

Gokudera mentioned something about some Queen and her generosity to keep people happy. I don't know how someone can take comfort in a place that just has anything you want 'appear' and take it with no questions asked.

Re: (Action)

[2ndhandlion.livejournal.com]

Frankly, I think making us all useless is part of breaking our will. You could get food from the garden, but that's her's too. And the animals in the forest don't die, so the only meat if from the kitchen.

(Yes, he's grumpy. It's his natural state of being.)

Re: (Action)

[fireworks-plz.livejournal.com]

So we're forced to become dependent on her and play along with her game.

[Kuukaku isn't in the best of moods either.]

Right, if I'm stuck in this ridiculous place, at the very least I'm going to cook my own meals and resume my work on my fireworks though I'll have to start from scratch...
