[The Torchic remains asleep in Abdul's arm, Magician's Red providing warmth from within. Abdul is looking over a stall of Pokemon information pamphlets, fortunately located in areas where the newcomers can find them. A familiar voice behind him draws his attention away.

...Well, it's good to know that he's not all alone, even if the younger man is having some difficulty adjuster. Abdul walks over with a smile.]

Is that your companion?

[He's going to watch the little...plant stand?...play around for a bit. He's going to step in, he promises.]

[lapidarius]

What- [Kakyoin looked up from trying to catch the now exponentially cooler looking Pokemon, blinking scarred eyes a couple times.] Abdul, you're here too?

[He folded his arms, trying to look as collected as one could with a hyperactive grass noodle running in circles around their feet.] I say that, but I'm not entirely certain of where 'here' is. To answer your question, however, I think that it would have to be.

[prometheanflame]

Apparently, whoever is responsible for this was polite enough not to separate us. [It's definitely a Stand user, no doubt about it.] But the question is, who would have a Stand so powerful to do this, and why have they not revealed themselves?

[And why did they provide Abdul and Kakyoin with pets? Especially one that looked like a young Magician's Red?]

My idea is that we've been transported to an entirely new world. I don't believe there's any Stand out there that can create such an intricate illusion.

[Says the guy who never met Death 13.]

[lapidarius]

Ah--yeah, probably not. That would be a little unbelievable even for a Stand.

[SCREAMING INTERNALLY]

So I guess we're forced to admit this really might be another world...have you seen any of the others?

[prometheanflame]

[ARE YOU HAVING FUN KAKYOIN?]

No, not yet. And that's what worries me.

[If they are separated, they have a smaller chance of defending themselves from a surprise attack. Polnareff especially. He might have already found trouble by now.]

Are we all somewhere in this city, or has the Stand user only chose us two?

[He looks out at the crowded street, his features hardening into a frown.]

[lapidarius]

[NOT REALLY NO but at least there's no amusement park.]

...It doesn't make sense from a tactical standpoint. If someone was going to separate us like this, we absolutely would have been attacked by now--before we had a chance to meet up again. But from app appearances, not even these things have been hostile--give me those- [He finally reached down and caught the sunglasses off of Snivy in mid-victory lap, putting them back on.]

I don't understand what kind of attack this is, if it even is one at all.

[prometheanflame]

I'm not sure what to make of these Pokemon myself.

[He looks down at the orange fluff in his arms, which is slowly waking up from its nap. If anything, he already has formed his opinion on Torchic.]

It may be a distraction. Pull some of us into one world, take others to another, leave one in Egypt. Their tactic is to split us up efficiently. If we can find something relating to that person's Stand...

...Yes, from there, we can work out a way to return home.

[They are going to fight a glitch, aren't they?]

[lapidarius]

[kakyoin noriaki is 100% here to fight anything up to and including a glitch]

That's-...possible, yeah. Still, I find it suspicious that you and I would have been given enough time to meet up and plan a counterattack. Whoever's behind this can't be all that smart.

[prometheanflame]

[They are Jojos, they can and will fight anything.]

I assume they picked me so that the group would be down a knowledgeable guides. But as for everything else, it's as you said. Nothing about their strategy makes sense.

[Could they be waiting for the two of them to split up? And they focusing their efforts on the remaining Crusaders? How many people are behind this?

He turns to the other, standing up straight.] Kakyoin. We must not lose sight of one another until we return to Egypt. The manner in which we were transported here must not be far. We can begin by asking for information, and--

[He holds out the Torchic.]

Perhaps this creatures may be of some use. I've seen others with similar animals performing tasks for their owners. They're more intelligent than they look.

[lapidarius]

Right. We have to stay together; I'd feel better knowing a close-range Stand user had my back anyway. [He answered with a small smile, before the Snivy jumped back up to Kakyoin's shoulder and stole his sunglasses to put them back on its own face again.]

...Intelligent, certainly. Though I'd hesitate to call this one very useful.

[prometheanflame]

[Abdul smiles at the Snivy.] I'm sure we'll see in due time. [When it comes to escaping, they need all the help they can get, whether in the form of a shitty dog or a kleptomaniac Pokemon.]

I do wonder why everyone here has a Pokemon with them. From what I've learned so far, everyone is expected to have at least one of these.

[lapidarius]

That's the other thing that bothers me. No Stand should be able to have this kind of scale. [Ignoring the smug little noodle for the moment, Kakyoin gestured vaguely with one hand.]

All these people can't possibly be victims of the same Stand user. It would take power on an unbelievable level to create a world this size and with this many people in it.

[prometheanflame]

There could be multiple Stands at work, but I agree that it's more likely that we are the only people not of this world.
