INTRO.
You wake up feeling like you’ve had a rough night’s sleep… maybe a bit jet-lagged, if you’re familiar with the feeling, or perhaps like you, uh, had a little too much to drink last night. Either way, you’re probably not expecting to wake up in a forest clearing, so that might be even more disorienting. It’s not an unpleasant place to wake up, mind. It’s sunny, and there’s a pleasantly cool breeze blowing through. The grass isn’t tall enough that you could get lost in it or that someone could be hiding in it… or something.
There are, in fact, a lot of somethings surrounding you--a veritable menagerie of creatures, some of them adorable, and some of them intimidating… but they seem to be as disoriented as you are. And then, well… you realize something’s a little off about yourself. There’s no pond to look at your new appearance, but… maybe the ground’s a little closer. Maybe you don’t actually have arms and legs at the moment. Maybe you don’t have eyes anymore?
Regardless, something’s definitely up. Fortunately, there’s a path leading out of the clearing, so once you get your bearings and speak with some of the other weird critters you’ve woken up with, you can find… somewhere you can get answers. Well, hopefully, anyway.

Ah--
[ With enough effort, Natsuki manages to roll herself back upright, puffing (heh) herself out slightly. It's only then she sees who bumped into her and--
...crap, he's adorable-- wait, priorities damnit! ]
W-What are you?!
[ Not "Who are you?". "What are you?". ]
no subject
...Though I suspect we are both in a similar situation..! [At least if they're both fumbling around and shouting at the other. It's a hunch, really.]
no subject
Why are we stranded in the middle of a forest looking like... this?!
[ She tries to point to herself with her stubby limb of an arm. ]
no subject
...But then, if both of us are at a loss.... [Oh dear.] ...w...well... ...I, the man Gongenzaka...presume we were both at least human, yes...?
...That is a start at least... ....My name is, Noboru Gongenzaka, [He introduces, continuing down the list of 'things they know'.] Ahhh...and, you are?
no subject
Y-Yeah... I'm supposed to be human...
[ yeah, this is a pickle. ]
M-My name's Natsuki.
...Why are you talking like that?
no subject
[oh] OH! [He coughs.] Forgive me..! I, the man Gongenzaka, am used to simply being around my friends and classmates...
It is the way that those from my dojo all speak! [he explains, beaming.] As is in line with our dojo's practice! To protect those other than ourselves, and to only use our strength for the benefit of others! We do not place ourselves above, but rather, beside!
[....how very shonen of him...] ....Auh...th-though, I shall admit, it has caused...some confusion before...
It is hard to simply change how I speak however... [Everyone keeps saying he sounds old though...]
Mnh- R-Regardless! ...We are both human...or were, at the least...I, the man Gongenzaka, last recall returning to my home after an important tournament event...do you perhaps remember anything yourself?
no subject
...Uh-huh.
[ Well, this guy's certainly... something. It's like he's out of a shonen anime or something. ]
Yeah, I remember! I-I'm part of the Literature Club back at school! Why would I forget that?
no subject
[A pause, and he adds-] Literature club? ...That sounds like a good club...
[He never had time for other clubs with his dojo duties though...]
no subject
It is! You get to read books [
manga] you like and you can write poems and stuff!I'm one of the better members, you know!
sobs into my canon-familiar hands, ohhhhh....
Well...I am glad to hear that you are part of a club that you can enjoy then! Auh-
[Hm.] ...h...hopefully, we can return you to your club as well then...
[
actually that might be a super bad idea gon,]OuO
[
spoilers!]Thanks, I... really need to get back...
[ Which begs the question of how they're even gonna achieve going back home... ]
no subject
lips, sealed,]Mnhh...it is the same for myself... [Gongenzaka looks about the grassy, wooded area, skimming for somewhere to go.
...Ahah-] Mnh-
There is a path, that way....perhaps we can find others who could explain?
no subject
i just made this connection and I'm cackling tbh,
Mnh...perhaps they have a good reason for it? [He awkwardly sets himself on all fours, testing a step or two forward before he even tries to properly walk anywhere.] ...At the very least, we will not know until we ask!
...And...we cannot stay here, that is for certain... [It's a forest! ...Granted they're both animals or something, but it's a FOREST,]
no subject
[ Insert a screenshot of Jigglypuff using the fan from Smash Bros. here ]
Of course we can't stay here! You don't know what can happen in a forest!
[ Nevermind that they're probably lost... ]
no subject
Mnh! Especially not like this... [Whoo! He just about falls over again, but he thinks he's got it...]
How is walking for you?
no subject
Uh...
[ Natsuki's attempt to walk makes her look like she's waddling like a penguin.
And then she loses her balance again and rolls over onto her back on accident. ]
AGH! Not again!
[ She once again puts effort into rolling back upright... but ends up rolling onto her face instead.
She's having a hard time. ]
no subject
[He'll...try to help the other get up.]
P...Perhaps both of us should focus upon getting used to these bodies, before we attempt to travel...
no subject
[ Natsuki's face turns red from the embarrassment. ]
Y-Yeah... We should...
[ This is gonna take a while, isn't it? ]
no subject
Let us practice! [he announces determinedly!
They totally have this in the bag!! ...Or will!]
