[After the initial shock of the jump, Iceland had some trouble adjusting. There were the physical affects of course, and he was covered in weird stuff and... oh god, barely dressed!

Completely traumatized by this fact above all, he takes a while to actually get to his locker to shower and put his clothes on. Even in a strange situation like this, though, when he gets them on, it's a relief, and soon enough he's standing in front of his open locker clothed and sighing at the sight. No Mr. Puffin... Where had he gone off to? And come to think of it, where were the others...

Where was he?!

He's honestly feeling a little sick thinking about it, even as he picks up the communication device left in the locker to inspect it and tries to stay as calm as the people around him (relatively) seem to be, if not more. He's. Fine. Right...]

[Hong Kong had showered and gotten dressed himself in some casual new clothes he'd found. Accessories included, yis. But as he's wandering back towards the elevator to the upper decks he pauses. Is that-?]

Hey! HEY! Like-! [Reaching out he grabs Iceland's shoulder, trying to turn him around to get a better look at him.] Iceland?

[lacedboots]

Huh?

[He'll catch a look of surprise on Iceland's face as he turns to that touch, immediately relieved that it's Hong Kong. So he's here too? Then... who else? For now he looks both relieved and completely lost.]

You're here too?

[genkigal]

Yeah. Did you just get here? Lemme see your wrist.

[And without any manners he's just going to grab Iceland's wrist and turn it up so he can see the numbers. 012 >> wtfever. Yes. Just like that /shot]

Hah! I guess you did!

[He's so informative... But damn is it nice to see someone closer to his own age OK.]

[lacedboots]

Hey, don't-- [But oh, Hong Kong already grabs his wrist and looks. Agh, how embarrassing. He pulls it back and straightens his sleeves and gloves a little. Ergh... He's totally lost. That's not cool at all.

Realistically though it's not like he can say he was on his way somewhere. So he just looks kind of defeated as he asks.]

What is this place?

[genkigal]

[Ah- right. He lets Iceland take his arm back. Uhm... How best to describe this.]

Like. Welcome to Hell. You've totally kicked the bucket.

[Completely straight face.]

[lacedboots]

S-stop kidding around.

[There's no way that can be serious right...?! He wants to go home right now. Even though he's speaking as calmly as he can manage though, he's so visibly disturbed and bothered.]

Seriously, what are we doing here? That stuff took forever to wash off...

[genkigal]

Why? You don't like ghosts~~~? I like. Hear they're totally friendly.

[But OK OK he'll relent a bit.]

You're on a spaceship. We're charting stars unknown, you know?

[lacedboots]

[What... a spaceship? Seriously? He seems to filter through these doubts as he looks around. It does seem sort of sci-fi...]

...I don't know if that sounds believable either.

[But, he's believing it. This time. Ahhh... He looks back.]

Where are those other guys? [Kind of vague but he means the Nordics or any country really.] I'm in a hurry. Kind of. [So he can find them and ease these terrible worries, they're making him all nervous and twitchy. He doesn't like the feel of this place...]

[genkigal]

Hm? Which guys? [Not sure which ones Iceland means, his first thought is England. Sadly! But hm! He turns to look around and starts walking off towards the other rooms.] There's some others here. Holland and Japan and Russia. You're the first country I've like seen this round.

[He doesn't stop to look back as he goes into the next room so Iceland had better keep up!!]

[lacedboots]

What?

[He actually looks surprised at that, taken aback and frozen in place as he tries to process it.] They're the only ones here?

[And then he's realizing Hong Kong's leaving without him and he's grabbing his things and following after.]

Wait up! What do you mean by "round"? [And settling back into his normal walking and frowning to himself. Ah...] Come to think of it, you were talking like you've been here a while...

[genkigal]

[He stops! But only to look around the room for anyone else they might know.]

Mumbling's like for grandpa's you know. Round. Like round of people. Every month a new group of people appear and other people disappear. So like this month you're one of them. Iceland's really lucky, yeah~☆?

[lacedboots]

Shut up.

[The magical line he can use whenever he isn't sure what to say, sure...]

You're not making any sense. [Actually, he is. But he doesn't really want to comprehend this. What, like they're... kidnapped? Stuck here for some unknown amount of time? And Hong Kong's been here for longer? He's so relaxed with all of this.

He wishes Nore or one of the others was here. What a childish thought. But maybe they'd know what to do. For now he's left with a lot of kept-to-himself thoughts and a distressed expression as he expresses his discontent with the situation some more.] What kind of situation is this...

[Then, belatedly recalling he's in a conversation here.] I don't see my puffin anywhere, either.

[genkigal]

He like might not have been brought. Let's look around some more just in case.

[He'll start poking his head into various grav couch rooms calling out "bird"! HMMM nope not seeing him.]

[lacedboots]

Maybe he's at home.

[He knows... he leaves him home on the rare day occasion. But they're almost always together. And this wasn't by choice. What could he be doing? He's probably getting into trouble.]

If he were here you'd definitely hear him. [Decidedly after a few rooms of searching, yes. Man... He glances over to Hong Kong again, taking in as much as he can.] You never said what we're here for.

[Just. Where they were. And what happened. Sort of.]

[genkigal]

Oh. [SHRUG] Nobody like. Knows.

[SUCKS MAN]

We just get brought here, you know?

[lacedboots]

What's with that calm explanation?!

[He doesn't get you at all, Hong Kong!! But he's so shocked by the way he says that... It's a mystery?! He knew he had a bad feeling!]

If I'm not home soon, who will help bring in tour customers? [HE'S WORKING HARD ON THAT SHIT MAN. And oh, a little more quietly:] They might worry, too...

['They'... And he's sort of thinking things after that like, if they even noticed. It would probably take a little while, but they'd notice eventually... And then what?]

[genkigal]

It's like just how it is, you know? Don't worry! Back home nothing happens while we're gone. It's like there's a concert going on and we're the stars, so they've gotta wait!

[His analogies are terrible.]

Want me to show you where your room is?

[lacedboots]

That doesn't make any sense.

[Again. But he gets it... Sort of. He's just not sure what that means. Or how to believe it. It's too real to be another one of his really weird dreams...]

I get a room? [Vaguely curious, and then he's pausing, thinking on how to word his acceptance. Spoilers: like a brat] I don't need your help. ...But I'll accept. If you're offering, I'll accept.

[genkigal]

You should like say 'I accept really magnanimous Hong Kong', you know?

[Iceland's not the only brat. But he'll head for the elevators.]

It's like this way.

[lacedboots]

There's no way I'm saying that.

[JUST MAKING THAT CLEAR B|. But he follows along despite this hard time he's giving Hong Kong, and after a moment he'll speak up.]

Hey, how long have you been here?

[genkigal]

[Oh, um...]

About a month. But I was somewhere else before that. [...] I like. Haven't been home in a really long time.

[He stops at the elevator, pressing the call button.]

This is the elevator. There's like 200 decks and the first 50 are residential. Kind of. Like if you can call it that... Anyway your room is on 012.

[lacedboots]

[200... That's pretty big sounding. But he's still focusing on what Hong Kong said first, even as he eyes the keys in the elevator. If he hasn't been home in a really long time... it's only natural to think he'd be missing it right.

Now he's stuck all thinking about how that must be, and dreading the fact that he's here now even more. How long is he going to end up stuck here?]

Hm. [In response to the elevator directions yes. He'll reach out and press the button for them to head there if Hong Kong is cool with it.] What do you mean by somewhere else? Someplace like this one?
