cocktailparty | tdm + em; just like me, they long to be, close to you

HOW IT WORKS:

► STEP 1 | Post a comment with a character that's not in HH as if they're already in the setting; alternative version, post character who is in HH. Scenarios if you need 'em!
► STEP 2 | Tag around and get a feel for your characters, whether you're just voice testing or planning to actually app them in!
► STEP 3 | Post this all over your plurk and get people to join in on this jolly good fun. Don't forget: it's mandatory.

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!

_{[ 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?
