copypasta as per usual

ENABLE MEME

There are multiple ways to use this post:
PLAYERS IN GAME: post who you'd like to play next round or who you're unsure of playing, and then let other people ~~auction your soul off at an affordable price~~ gently push you into the direction of actually apping them come the new app cycle (concrete details later on that).
OR YOU COULD: Ask for castmates, be you in a cast or a lone canon warrior. Think of it like a kind of in game ATP ad.
IF YOU DON'T EVEN GO HERE: You might want to? If you do, feel free to post with your account, a picture, whatever you want and let us take you under our wing so you can be a part of our large, rowdy family.

So let the fun begin!

A [ACTION]

_{[ Imaizumi woke up on the lawn in some chair looking confused as ever as most people did, and before he was brought here, he had been working on his bike wearing this lovely shirt. Waking up in an unknown area was a bit of a surprise to him, so he stood up and checked his surroundings quickly to see if this was some area that someone had just moved him to as some prank. It really didn't take him that long to realize that he wasn't anywhere near home and that this was more than a prank since no one had ever done anything this elaborate to just mess with him--but wait.

He noticed something more important about the area around him. His bike wasn't there....SOMEONE STOLE HIS BIKE. Imaizumi looked around him frantically for a few seconds and then looked really angry since no matter where he was, he was going to get his bike back. He would set someone straight and do anything it would take to get his bike back--and it better not be damaged or he would get even madder the more he stood here. So, seen here can be an angry child, walking up to literally the first person he would see and yell at them as he would yell at some people he knew if they pushed his buttons (Naruko and Midousuji.) ]}

Have you seen my bike?!? Someone took it, and it's about this tall-- _{[ He would demonstrate with his arms here. ]} This wide--and it's blue!!!! I'll draw you a picture if you need me to. _{[ says the man in a bunny shirt...okay. Someone please help him settle down. ]}

B [VIDEO]

_{[ After that initial freaking out over losing his bike, Imaizumi had actually sat down and went through all the papers given to him thoroughly, knowing what was going on by now. He still found it unsettling that all of his stuff was essentially gone--Do you know how many Usagi brand shirts he had?!? (At least three.) Or well, he had a closet filled with nice things but weren't all his--not even his training outfit was here.

Anyway, after figuring out his situation, the first thought on his mind was to look through his address book to see if any of his friends were in it, which they should be since this was his phone, after all! Sure enough, most seemed to be listed and even some of Hakone was here in this weird place, which was alright, he guessed, since that meant he knew some familiar faces here. He needed to contact them to get more information about this place, such as where the nearest bike shop was since that was clearly the most important matter here! Honestly, he did want to know if they were okay, but he'd only really ask Onoda to see if he was okay.

So...he tried to send a video chat just to them, but he didn't know much about the phone functions just yet--at least he was a fast learner--but he sent it to everyone instead. So, hello new person! You just got Imaizumi looking done as usual and asking about bikes! ]}

Sakamichi? Makishima-san? Tadokoro-san? Kinjou-san?....Naruko? _{[ He didn't see everyone's name on the list, but he could try, right?! ]} If you all are here, could you respond? I'm in need of some assistance with finding the nearest bike shop here.

C [MAKE YOUR OWN! hmu with anything.]

[Makishima's just up to some important business when his phone begins to act up, signal that someone's trying to use the network. When he answers it, he's not quite that surprised to see Imaizumi's face on the other end, though it does catch him off-guard for a few seconds.]

Imaizumi? [He's a little speechless at first until he remembers the question.] Ah, you already know your bike isn't here. --did you just arrive now?

[The important business by the way, is taking his pet tarantula out of its cage and spending some time with her, as is evident with the large spider currently slowly walking along the neckline of his shirt. It's clearly within view too.]

_{[ Once the familiar face appeared on the screen, he did look relieved in a sense even though his face didn't really change much at all, and perhaps he was relieved since maybe Makishima knew where everyone was...along with where the bike shop was located. ]}

Ah--Makishima-san. _{[ "It's nice to see you here" would go right after this, but instead he just kept talking about the bike. ]} I assumed it wasn't here since I was working on it before I got here just now. _{[ Answered two questions in a short sentence, he's proud of that. He wasn't planning on saying anything else, but then he noticed the giant spider walking across his neck. ]}

G-Gah--?! _{[ Makishima didn't seem to be bothered by this... So maybe it was his pet? Either way, it did startle him a little. ]}

....When did you get a pet spider?

[The reaction just gets Imaizumi a puzzled look, until he remembers that he in fact does have company on his person, literally, and so he looks down at the tarantula.]

For a while now. It probably doesn't make sense but we can talk about that later. [Makishima's hand reaches up, and he sets it flat in the path of where the tarantula intends to walk. It stops for a brief moment, not sure of what to do about the movement, but soon it continues and ends up right over the back of Makishima's palm.]

Give me a second. [He pulls his hand away, then seems to reach behind him in order to set the tarantula down, presumably somewhere safe. Once she's back in her cage, Makishima turns his attention back to Imaizumi.]

You're right, your bike isn't here. If you're lucky you can ask to have it back but otherwise you'll have to settle for something else for the time being.

_{[ ....How could having a pet spider not make sense? Imaizumi didn't get what he was talking about because he knew he had some nickname having to do with spiders, so maybe he actually liked them? Onoda did get him all of those spider keychains when they went shopping...didn't he?

Anyway, he just gave him a shrug in response, not really needing a reasoning for why Makishima had a pet spider since it was his own pet after all. ]}

Okay, take as long as you need. _{[ He watched him putting away the spider in its cage, or somewhere--he didn't really know.

Now he was talking about his bike, which was the most important thing to him at the time right now since that meant that whoever brought him here either left his bike back at home or stole it, and the second option made him irritated. ]}

Someone had to have taken it for me to be able to ask for it back, right? _{[ Unacceptable...He had just had his frame repaired! ]} ....How do I get it back?

Technically, it's back home. If you want it back then you'll have to ask someone called the "Landlord" for it. He handles all those things. If he says no, then all you can do is wait around for it to show up. Things like that happen sometimes. [Hopefully that should be reassuring, but Makishima's not sure if it'll actually work or not. Its been a while since he's this conversation and he's so used to just accepting this bizarre turn of events that explaining it might not make much sense.

So he takes a moment to think everything over, and he tries again. He can offer that much as a teammate.]

Don't panic or anything. Everything seems kinda weird but it... it's not that bad. Could be worse.

[...yeah that probably doesn't help much either. Where is Tadokoro? He's better at this than him.]

_{[ Imaizumi nodded along with him and really, it was a good thing he had calmed down a little bit from his first initial anger over his lost bike or he probably wouldn't have accepted that as an answer. What the other was saying didn't make sense as he would think he would just be able to go get his bike and not have to ask some landlord guy about it?

It was weird--this whole situation was weird. None of it made sense to him that he could be here while he was at his home just moments ago. He was trying to think more about this and how it made sense--perhaps they were kidnapped and brought here, but he was still wearing the same clothes that he was a moment ago...and Makishima was telling him not to panic. He had plenty of questions, sure, but he had to know why he shouldn't panic--was everyone already here too? ]}

I'm not sure how it could be worse at this moment. _{[ ???? ]} Anyway, you seem to be calm...is everyone already here? Where is this place? _{[ He had been wanting a new frame after the inter-high anyway, but right now all he knew that he had no bike to train on which meant everyone was getting ahead of him in training. ]}

[Oh, it could be worse. But now isn't the time to tell Imaizumi of the various things that tend to occur in Holly Heights thanks to the Landlord's mischievous nature. Best to get him started one step at a time.]

I'm just used to things, since I've been here a while. Onoda and Tadokorocchi are here. A few members from Hakogaku too. This place is called Holly Heights. It's kind of like America except it's not... that's the best way I can explain it. You can't travel here any normal way, you just get brought here somehow.

_{[ It's probably good that Makishima decided to spare him that news as of now since he would definitely not be happy to hear that this place could be worse.

He listened to what the other had to say and nodded along with him, though he didn't understand quite yet just how time worked here since he had just seen Makishima the other day? As well as Onoda and Tadokoro--but they were here which meant...Naruko and Kinjou weren't? Where were they? If this place really was like America in some way, then everyone should be fine--but they weren't here. Imaizumi did wonder if all of Hakogaku was here...and if Kyoto Fushimi was also here...

But more importantly, what about next year's inter-high?!?? ]}

Naruko and Kinjou-san aren't? _{[ He sighed slightly and then continued. ]}

Thanks for your explanation, but if I can't travel from here, how will I get to the inter-high next year?

[Well, Naruko isn't any less new here, so he's not going to be much help, but seeing the hotshot on his phone, he can't help but reply immediately.]

Hey, hey, hey! How come I'm such an afterthought?? The hell is your problem, Hotshot?!

[Yeah, he looks grumpy. How dare you, Imaizumi.]

_{[ Imaizumi couldn't deny that seeing the familiar, noisy friend of his on the screen made him a bit relieved, even though he didn't show it and looked pretty much like he usually did when Naruko started being grumpy. Besides he may or may not have left his name last on purpose.

Anyway, he didn't know just how new his friend was here too, and he totally ignored his question and was trying to start something. Usually he would probably get riled up immediately as well, but his bike was the most important thing right now, no matter how grumpy Naruko looked--right? ]}

....You didn't answer my question, Naruko. _{[ ??? Was this his reasoning for saying his name last in the list--or was he just trying to get to him? Who knows. ]}
