A figure stands idly under a lamp post, its light in cascadence downward outlining him in artificial shades of yellow. Its night; it had been for two hours now. But the weather had changed. The sky was overcast with clouds and it was drizzling. Not that he minded the rain. Alucard sighed. It had been close to two weeks since he and everyone else had awakened in this strange world.
With no answers, he felt lost and very homesick. He'd tried walking through mirrors like Gwen had suggested, but it didn't work at all. He'd even tried making himself sick. Perhaps going into a coma here would make him wake up in the real world. Though Alucard considered this an alternate universe, he also considered it a dream. A dream he would not be waking from anytime soon.
And the way the place seemed to throb, like it was some living thing, it was driving him crazy. Insane, at most. There was a presence here, but no one knew what it was or why it was. While he brooded over these things, Alucard kept alert. Maybe if he stayed out here long enough, he might spot someone else. A person who belonged to this world.

Back at their house I turn off the last move, my head aching from all of the martial arts scenes that I had forcibly downloaded into my head. My legs are stiff from being in the same position for so long but I forces them to move and walk towards the door. Outside it's the perfect day. The sun is currently in it's noon position and this weird is actually starting to seem like a nice place.
I wander around looking for a place where I can practice all of the stuff I saw from the animes. Since my gift lets me repeat anything I see and it shouldn't be to hard but I don't want to wait until I get attacked by the weird ghost-things that I saw before with my gift. I'm so busy planning ahead that I nearly walk right past Alucard.
"Oh, hey there. Whatsup?" I ask, feeling a bit awkward since I've never really been buddies with Alucard, just his ex-girlfriend, which is awkward enough.

"Huh? Oh, hey Cass," he replies, pulled out of his thoughts. "Nothing, I'm just thinking of ways to get out of here." He pauses, considering her reasons for going out and about, and asks, "How about you?" Alucard also feels a bit awkward. Despite the ever changing time of day, time seemed to not hold dominion here. The dense nothingness provides little fuel for interesting conversation.

"I was just going to go practice with my gift." I mumble, slightly ashamed that my gift alone requires a lot more work than everyone else's. "Do you really think that we're going to be able to find a way out? This place seems... real. It'd probably take something big to out us."

"More than likely," Alucard agrees gravelly, "And I have no clue what that big thing would be. This place is so huge. It could be anything." When Cass mentions that she was planning on practicing her gifts, he nodded. "That's a good idea. We don't know if there are any enemies to be worried about, and its good to be prepared."

"Yeah, I guess. There are some pretty creepy things floating around this place. I thought I saw a chimera in that forest yesterday. Bleh, they're much better in books." I laugh, trying to make myself feel better. "Alucard, have you ever tried just walking in one direction until you hit the end of this place? There's a wall I've never been able to see over no matter how high in a building I get. I think the wall might help us get out."

"No, but now that I think of it.." he trailed off. He recalled a time when he'd been walking around and saw the enormous structure from a distance. "I've seen it, but never been to it. I think you might be right."

"Thanks. Do you wanna go see it? There's not much else that's better to do here." I smile, glad to be of some kind of help. Anyways, this is a good way to discreetly stay near Alucard and his weird-crazy-powerful gift.

//OOC: I have an idea. After they've seen the wall, perhaps they could spot one of the Puppet Master's minions? We need a prelude to the action as nothing much has been happening, besides the kids finding each other and the thing with Fivel.//
Alucard nodded in agreement. "Sure. From there I guess we can figure out it might help us get out."

(yeah, that sounds good to me)
"Alright then." I pick up the light green bag that I've taken to carrying around with me and lead the way west towards the nearest wall. I was to wimpy to steal guns from the nearby police office (I don't know how to use them) but I found a bunch of pepper spray and a pair of handcuffs (and keys). After a few minutes the silence begins to wear on me. I grind my teeth in irritation that I can't come up with some perfect conversation topic. Curse social people. "What do you miss most about the real world?" I finally say, figuring that this'll be a safe topic.
