Ok! I made Lane reply to Hugo, but he talks to Kaine next!
Lane
Lane smiled back at Hugo.
“Hi! I’m Lane Shultz. I kinda just walked here while looking for directions to…” He looked around, “well… I’m not quite sure. It does seem that no one knows where we are.”
He shoved his hands in his pockets and looked off for a brief second. His gaze landed on a boy advancing to the door.
“I’m going to go meet the other people around here, but I’m sure we’ll talk again! See you later!”
(so… uhh.. yeah…)
Lane walked over to the doorway and looked at the boy.
“Hi there!” Lane said. He watched as the boy stood there dripping. What am I thinking!? Welcome him in. Think Lane!
He moved out of the way (so that the door is not blocked) and said, “Well, we aren’t quite sure who owns this place… yet…. but you can come in if you want! I do hate to see you wet like that. I don’t know if there’s food around here…” he glanced off for a quick second, “Oh, and I should have mentioned this earlier… but my name is Lane. Lane Shultz. What is your name?”

“Hi there!” Kaine looks up at the sound of a cheerie voice next to him. He looks at the figure with a questioning gaze, staring at the long wheeled device tucked under one arm, and his cap, which sat backwards on his head.
“Well, we aren’t quite sure who owns this place… yet…. but you can come in if you want! I do hate to see you wet like that. I don’t know if there’s food around here…” he glances off for a quick second, “Oh, and I should have mentioned this earlier… but my name is Lane. Lane Shultz. What is your name?”
“My, so we’re all crashing in some random house for who knows why? I do hope the owner doesn’t come back soon.” Kaine walks over to a table with a delicious plate of waffles.
Don’t know whose these are… don’t care much either.
“I’m Kaine, nice to meet you.” Kaine takes another bite of wafflle. He shifts his feet, looking down at the puddle forming under his new location. “You got eyes on the back of your head or somethin’?” He gestures to Lane’s backwards cap. “No sun protection like that.”
Kaine wipes a drip of maple syrup off his face with a napkin on the table.
"And so I left this world just as I had entered it. Confused."

September 25, 2023 at 8:24 am #157155September 25, 2023 at 8:36 am #157156Ok I see 🙃 (I can bring Lane back over to Hugo if you want! Then they can interact a bit more.)

“I’m pleased to make your acquaintance.” Lane said. He fiddled with his skateboard for a few moments, but then set it down near a wall. “Well, no… I wear my hat backwards for… well, fashion sake. In Extroit, the country where I come from, it is extremely popular… even if it’s not very practical.”
Lane looked off into the not-so-far-distance for a few moments. He watched all of the others in the room, taking in their appearances. He sighed, “It is strange that we’ve all landed here……. If the owner did come back, we could find out who owns this place… and perhaps get the permission to keep using it. And…. I’d be in big trouble.” He glanced towards the thousands of shattered glass pieces of what should have been a small statue.
“Oh boy, I’ve done enough talking. Anyway, where are you from, Kaine?” Lane sighed and ran his hands through his bangs. He lifted his right leg off the ground, like a flamingo, and stood balanced on the other.

Kari
My phone! Kari, standing off to the side, suddenly remembered. Why hadn’t she thought of it before? If she could call someone, then perhaps they could assure her she was fine, and hadn’t lost her sanity. She jerked her phone from her back pocket, turning on the home screen. Her heart sank. No signal. What is this place? Kari was beginning to wonder if she had stepped through a portal into another dimension somehow. But that only happens in stories.
Bewildered, Kari glanced up to see a tall guy standing in the center of the room observing her. His arms were crossed as his head slowly turned from her, to the two boys standing by the table of food, and back to her again. Where did Ottoline go? Kari wasn’t sure she liked being alone in a room with a couple of strange guys she didn’t know. But then again, Ottoline didn’t seem much safer.
You could just leave, Kari told herself. All you have to do is step out the door. But it was now dark outside, and judging from the wet appearance of the newest arrival, it was also raining. How unfortunate. It would be better to stay inside, in the light, where she could keep an eye on these strangers, instead of going out into the dark where she could be ambushed.
Kari narrowed her eyes and gazed scrutinizingly around the room. A shadow behind a pillar caught her eye. Was that Ottoline? Kari approached the pillar, staying safely in the main part of the room where she had an escape route if necessary.
“Ottoline? Is that you?” she asked tentatively. A bow, strung with an arrow, emerged around the side of the pillar, along with Ottoline’s taught face.
“What do you want with me?” she asked tersely. Kari tried to ignore the arrow pointed her way.
“I want answers,” she said. “I want to know why we’re here.”
“Do you think I know more than you do?” Ottoline replied. “Leave me alone!”
“Look, Ottoline, if none of us knows where we are or who owns this place, we’re going to have to work as a team to figure it out. We’ll have to learn to trust each other.” Kari blinked in shock at her own words. Did I really just say that? I don’t even know if I can trust these people. Who am I to suggest that to Ottoline?
“Or we could all just go back to where we came from.”
“I don’t know if that’s easy.” Kari eyed the bow and arrow again, still pointed her direction. “If we all entered a different world, but we don’t know how we did, then how do we get back home?”
Ottoline slowly lowered the bow, and took a half step from behind the pillar. “Why should I trust you?”
Kari shrugged. “I don’t know how to get you to trust me,” she admitted. “I’m just as confused here as you are. But if we don’t put our heads together, I don’t think any of us will ever figure out what’s going on- or how to get home.”

Oh and just so everyone knows, Amir is wearing a tan, robe-like outfit that looks wrapped around his body. But instead of being a robe all the way through, the lower section splits off into wide-legged pants. He’s wearing soft shoes, almost like moccasins, and he has a wide brown belt around his waist.
Amir
Amir stood silently, watching everyone engage in conversation. It was quite entertaining. Especially when he didn’t hear their words and just watched their facial expressions.
His people-watching was halted though when he saw one boy not talking to anyone. Not wanting him to be lonely, Amir walked over and put on a smile. “Hello, my name is Amir. You are Hugo, right?”

Ottoline
Learn to trust? Ottoline stifled a laugh. What a ridiculous concept! She watched Kari walk away and a sense of guilt set on her shoulders. What was wrong with her? Why couldn’t she be more like Kari, or Amir, or Lane, or even Hugo, as annoying as he was? Why did she feel like the only one with a mask, concealing years of pain?
However, she knew that Kari was certainly wrong. The safest solution was definitely not to trust. It was to leave this strange place and find a way home, not sticking around like sitting ducks and waiting for the Pythonos to attack. So why couldn’t Ottoline bring herself to leave? Her eyes wandered over to where Hugo was standing, talking with Amir. Why couldn’t she just ignore him? Treat him like a normal person. Never mind his captivating smile, his eyes, the way he tried to impress her (but was failing miserably, she might add).
As much as she tried to avoid letting a single person in, somehow she desperately wanted someone, anyone, to convince her to tell them about her past. But if they knew her past, she realized, then maybe they would be too horrified to want to be around her. Then they would leave her, then she would be alone with the pain again.
“Ottoline,” she jumped in surprise as Hugo looked over his shoulder at her. “Don’t you know that you can’t stand alone at parties? And besides, we need your help to try to figure out where we are.” He wants me to go over there? To talk to people? How strange, she mused. But as Kari began to talk with Hugo, her jaw set and her stomach clenched. No way am I giving up that easily, she thought. And so she obliged him and began to walk over to join them.
She left her bow and arrow beside the pillar.
