Len sat there, his legs dangling, his throat in a hold. "Ech, he-hello!? Aren't you g-guys going to get me out of here!?" Luka obviously hadn't gotten him out, and when she tried to ask for Ryu's help, she ignored them and tried to find Taito. Meanwhile, he was getting choked by a ...tree?
He grabbed at the vine, tugging on it as hard as he could. He had no source of fire to burn it off, plus that'd probably hurt. Len mentally sighed, why was he always the one getting into trouble. And why was nobody trying to help him?
The boy kicked at the tree, which caused it to get a bit angry. The tree snapped it's grip even tighter, cutting his breath short. He choked, panicking and flailing his arms wildly. While he did that, his underwear was cutting at his skin, from being pulled on too tightly. Oh god, the pain. It was horrible.
His face had begun to turn blue, and he finally decided to give up, since the lack of breath and oxygen was making him dizzy. Once the tree had noticed he wasn't moving anymore, it loosened it's grip, thinking that the child was dead.
Len hung there for a moment, then a sickening rip noise came as his underwear completely tore apart, allowing him to drop to the ground. More pain. He did a face plant straight into the ground. Too lazy to try to get up first, he turned his face to the side, deeply inhaling the air that he finally had access to.
Once he'd find Ryu, he made plans to slap her for running off. Some friend she was. Len decided to stay there for a moment, and breathe. That was terrifying!

Ryu was looking up at Taito with her questioning blood-red eyes. Why was she always asking HIM the questions? Ah well.
"I'm not sure. Maybe we could-"
THUMP. A blonde boy fell to the ground out of nowhere on his face. He lay for a few minutes, gasping with ragged breaths and trembling slightly. Dirt was smeared on his red face and and bruises were showing around his thin neck.
Taito squinted at the kid. Did he fall from the sky? Maybe this was a considered mythical creature. Taito neared the child and examined his feature. Oh. It was Len. What the hell was he doing?
"..Kagamine-san...How were you able to fly? How did you get here?"
The mushroom hopped off Taito's shoulder. It flinched at the impact of the ground, shook itself, and ran over to Len's fallen body. The little fungus blinked its large round eyes and stared curiously at Len's face.

Ryu turned and looked at Len aswell. Then she remembered she was supposed to help Luka check on him. Uh Oh. She felt a pang of guilt."Oh sorry Len I...forgot and got lost in thought..,"She said with guilt and sorrow in her voice.
Well now that the three or four of them were together what could happen? Huh...Will they ever get back to the real world. But somehow this reminded Kagamine Rose of Narnia. Why would it remind her of that. Oh yeah. Falling into another world.

Len slowly sat up, taking a couple deep breaths. His foot hurt, his neck hurt, oh jeeze. He grabbed onto something and used it to help him stand up, then realized it was that tree again. He quickly moved away, not wanting to deal with that again.
After situating himself back to normal, and feeling the marks on his neck, he finally replied, "I went to your house, but nobody was home. Then your window thinggy sucked me inside! AND THEN I CAME HERE AND THAT THING ATTACKED ME AND THEN AND THEN!!!" he was a flustered mess for a moment, then saw Ryu standing next to Taito. He stomped up to her, and smacked her, "AND THANKS FOR THE HELP! OH NO, IT'S QUITE ALRIGHT. I DON'T NEED THE HELP." He was angry. He let out a sigh, and put his hand on his head, "...do you know where we are, exactly? I'm just hoping this is a dream."

Luka stared at everyone. She wanted to go home. She hated all the strange stuff that happens at the Shion house. All of the sudden a woman with an old-fashioned renaissance dress and two bottles of beer came out. "Is that Haku?" Luka asked. She looked closer to see the drunken woman coming towards them. "Welcome you.. People... I am Haku, drunk of whatever this town is named!" Haku replied. "Oh god..." Luka said.

Taito was blank for a moment.
"I know that..we're..in a..uh...forest.." Yeah, that was loads of new information.
The little mushroom on the ground sat on Len's foot.
"Um..so, we're planning on finding a way out, Len." Taito was about to continue, but a deafening noise sounded overhead. Rushing wind seemed to be approaching at high speeds. Taito looked up only to see a huge undefinable creature swoop down.
It grabbed Ryu and flew away over the tree tops. The thing had giant bat wings, a long tail and large claws gripped around the teen.
"H-hey! Ryu!"
Taito ran after the monster. He charged aimlessly in the trees, trying to keep an eye on the sky. Roots underfoot and large branches inhibited Taito's movement. Sharp pebbles stabbed and attacked at Taito's bare feet. Thin vines whipped at Taito's chest and left thin cuts. Blood seeped from the many wounds as the young man stumbled over Mother Nature's obstacles.
It was impossible to catch up. The little girl and the winged creature were out of view in a few minutes. Taito gasped for breath as he watched where Ryu once was before fading in the distance.
He came to his senses and looked around. Fuck. Taito was lost. Unfamiliar trees and bushes seemed to mock him. The mushroom that saved his life earlier was all the way with Len, too. The sun was beginning to lower itself in the sky. That was not good.
If there were giant, rabid squirrels during the day, who knew what would come out at night?

Ryu was shocked when Len had slapped her and was even more shocked when something had swooped her up. So after a few seconds she started to register everything that happened. Then she did what any other normal person would do. Scream.
She screamed as loud as she could. But it didn't seem to help. All it did was make her throat hurt. Time passed by and she began to drift out into the chambers of sleep. But that moment was ruined when she was dropped into something. It was soft but dark all around. Looking up she saw a hole.
She was probably in some sort of prison. Well that is hat she infered. She didn't know what would happen. ((I TRIEDDDDD!))

Haku grabbed Luka and pulled her the opposite direction of the others. "Luka! How are y'all here? This is a place you can't come to!" Haku said. "How come? What is this place?" Luka asked. "It's m..." Haku responded. But she was interrupted by Ryu being flown in the air by a giant black bird.
"Oh no! Ryu! We have to help her!" Luka cried. "No! It isn't safe, she will be fine. This is meant to happen." Haku said. "But..." Luka replied. "Go to the others and follow them. Tell them follow where Len feels they should go..." Haku replied. Haku pushed the pinkette towards the others and ran off.
"Everyone... Um, I had a... Vision? I guess. Anyways.... We need to follow where Len wants to go. It will lead us to Ryu." Luka told them. She waited for response.

Len watched in horror as Ryu was taken away by some creature, and Taito tried to make a daring rescue. Soon, he was alone. Well, kind of. Luka and ... Haku was it? She seemed distant, unlike her self. Actually, more like her self. 90% of the time, anyways.
He glanced down at the little mushroom that made itself comfy by his feet. Aww, it was adorable! Then he went back to reality once more. Taito, Ryu, thing, flying, trouble!! He looked over his shoulder, "Let's go find them!" He ran off towards the direction that Taito had went, but couldn't make it too far. The vines kept whipping at him, and he had enough of those already as it is.
The frightful boy walked backwards, shaking his head, "Grah, it's no use! They're lost in these woods. And I don't want to be attacked by another one of those trees again. No way, no how!"

Len's hasty run to the trees had knocked the little nameless mushroom off of his foot. The little fungus rolled into a pile of leaves. Stunned, it lay for a few seconds before shooting up on its feet and running after the young blonde boy.
After the kid backpedaled, the mushroom bit onto Len's ankle(it had no arms) and pulled itself upon his foot once more. The mushroom didn't really care about whoever's safety at the moment. It just wanted a place to relax. And that foot was damn comfortable. _________________________________________________________________________
It was no use. This forest was HELL. Taito started to wander around. Just calmly walking and picking his way through. BUT NO! Branches and vines were mocking him, swapping down at random moments and causing another cut to form upon his skin.
There was no footpath to follow either, just grass, weeds, twigs, rocks, and leaves. It was horrible. And painful on the feet too. Every step sent twangs of agony shooting through his nerves. Minutes felt like horrible, long hours. And worst of all, there was no telling what was lurking about in the woods. The mushroom was gone, too.
After a few breaking of twigs and spine-tingling perusals of the forest later, Taito began to really, really freak out. If there was another giant squirrel he was so running for- a tentacle snapped out and tried to grab Taito's arm. He jumped in the nick of time and looked at who the attacker was. Oh. Oh dear. Oh dear LORD.
From behind some bushes, a large, slimy, ugly, DISGUSTING octopus-like creature slithered out. I've heard of enough hentai, Taito thought with a gulp, to know where this is going. The thing swung out a sticky tentacle again.
Taito dove and RAN. This time, it wasn't saving a friend that was pushing him on, it was fear. Epinephrine ran through his synapses stimulating accelerated heart rate, dilated pupils, and JUST PLAIN FEAR.
Taito busted out of the forest, the tentacle thingy straight on his heels. Man, he was sure a lucky man. Escape was easier when the obstacles were out of the way. Straight meadows stretched out in front of him and the octopus was quite slow. It was outrun in a few minutes and retreated back into the forest.
Taito fell to the ground to catch his breath and let his heart calm down. He also hoped that no one he knew would ever, ever, see that. But at least it would be better than being raped by a C-rated movie like monster. Right, time to examine surroundings. Taito looked around.
The meadow stretched quite far, and a river was rushing far off to the side. The forest stood menacingly behind him. Of course he wasn't go back in there! The sun began to set in the west of the sky, causing beautiful reds and purples to swirl in the heavens. That brought Taito to think about the others. How would they deal with the night of the forest? And..RYU. Fu**. If she was being eaten by that thing, there was not telling what Taito might do.
Worrying never got anyone anywhere, though, so Taito walked over to the river. People placed settlements by the river, so if he walked far enough, he'd find some sort of civilization to stop by. Taito emptied his pockets first to see what he could trade or buy with.
Taito held: A Calorie Mate A band-aid His ice pick A wallet with approximately 10, 000 yen. (Which wasn't quite a lot.) Lint A button Lint A lighter More lint
Taito stared at his(lack of) inventory. Hopefully he could buy something useful to continue on in this dangerous world. At least a lighter might help with the cold nights that most likely awaited once the sun set completely.
With a sigh, he continued the lonely journey up the river bank with only a faint colored sky to help his way. If only he had read some books on survival in the wild. That would have been tons more helpful. Then again, Taito wasn't very good at reading to begin with.
The still summer dusk brought no wind. Crickets continued to chirp and a snap was heard in the water. This place was too weird. It was most likely one of those fantasy dimensions where everything seemed to be back in time and most processes were covered with magic. How fun. How cliche. Taito sighed. He had to seriously stop that habit.

Ryu was frightened. Something wet and slimy had begun to fill up where ever she was. It was piling up rapidly. What's worse was that the top was closing. Almost no way of escape. That was what Ryu thought when she had looked up. But on closer examination she saw what appeared to be a drain at the bottom of her confinement cell.
With a great gathering of air she dove down into the slimy substance and tried to open the drain. It didn't work. The goo was just too slimy. The ebony-haired girl swam back up and gasped for air. What could she do? How could she get out? Her back was also starting to get sticky and gooey. Wait! Her backpack! That was it! She had so rope in her back pack! Quickly the young girl dug through her back pack until she found what she was looking for.
With a breath of determination she dove back down and tied the rope around one of the bars of the drain. Swimming back up she started to pull as hard as she could. After a few struggling minutes she finally got the drain off. All the slimy liquid goo went down the drain. She was glad her back pack was water proof.
But Ryu was covered in the substance. With a sigh she watched at the top opened back up. Now how was she going to get out? Well she had one idea. With a smirk she tried to climb up the walls. She failed. Just as she predicted. After untieing the rope she attched a hook on it and threw it out the top. Making sure it was sturdy enough she climbed out with her back pack. It took a while but she finally got out. Since she was covered in goo she slipped and fell down the place she was at.
Down she went and into the trees down below. Onto the ground she fell with a thump. It hurt. She was glad she only recieved a few bruises and scratches...

The river was long. There really wasn't much to say. It wasn't interesting nor special. Water splashed upon the riverbank and tall grass rustled in the wind. Taito couldn't help but notice the trail of blood he was leaving behind in the meadow. His feet were in such bad condition, even the soft grass caused excruciating pain in his feet.
The sun continued to set, and the sky was dim. Now it was getting hard to see. The once brilliant red and yellow light was now hiding behind the dark silhouettes of mountains. It felt like the entire heavens were fading away into darkness. Bright yellow stars began to poke their way out, as if they were groundhogs checking to make sure their predator had left. They twinkled in numerous numbers, safe from the light pollution that affect them in the other world(in which our roleplayers came from, of course).
Taito took a breath and exhaled slowly. The air was much sweeter than he thought. Now that there was time to relax, it was great to soak up his beautiful surroundings. The night wind felt great, and the cricket's songs were calming. Taito began to notice many great things he hadn't seen before.
Groooooowl... Obviously he also noticed his hunger as well. It was angry and whined for the food it had been denied since lunch. Taito clutched his belly unsure what to do. Growl.. Ugh.
Taito desperately looked around. It would be nice if there was some food around. But in this new dimension or wherever, it was impossible to tell what was edible and what was not. He had to settle for the old Calorie Mate in his pocket. He didn't quite remember the expiration date, but it tasted fine. A bit sweet, though.
That Calorie Mate was the only thing to sate Taito's empty stomach. That was fine, though. Hopefully civilization was close enough. And with that, Taito curled up next to the river(not to close as to get wet) and fell asleep. There was no need for a blanket; the summer night was warm enough.
The rushing of the waterway quietly lulled Taito to sleep and soon he drifted off into a dreamless slumber.
____________________________________________________________________
Taito woke up the next morning with a jolt. This isn't my room... Taito looked around. It clicked back in his memory that no, he was not in his room. He was in fact in another world in some godforsaken meadow. Oh, the reality.
Mr. Stomach growled angrily. It tended to be the only organ with anger management problems. Taito stumbled up from his resting point on the ground and continued his journey down the stream. He couldn't help but notice some trout swimming around each other.
From an old children's book called Danny the Champion of the World he read when he was young(That's right, he read at one point in his life), Taito recalled that he could sneak under trout and tickle them before tugging them on land.
Taito lay on the riverbank and waited for his prey to swim closer. A large trout swam over. Taito slowly began to tickle it under the bel- the trout growled at him and bared huge fangs. Taito calmly removed his hands and sat on by the river. Right, this place wasn't normal.
And so, with an empty stomach our not-favorite hero continued walking along the river. Eventually, the river led to a small village. Just as Taito had hoped. Taito hurried to his new motivation.

((What has happened to this rp? I Don't know what is going on!!!)) Luka followed Len. She wasn't sure if she should listen to Haku. She is a drunk anyway, maybe it was the wrong choice.
Len said he didn't know where to go. "Use your instinct! Go any random way!" Luka WAS CERTAIN TO NEVER LISTEN TO hAKU AGAIN.

“Hm, hm, hmmmm hm,” Miisha hummed to herself as she walked down the sidewalk towards home. It was hot and terribly stuffy outside, so she stayed in the shady side of the sidewalk. Maybe it would help if she took off her brown coat. Miisha shuddered and clutched her arm. She loved her coat. There was no way she would remove it outside. Without it on, she felt naked, unprotected.
But man, it was hot outside. The sweltering sun and humid, stagnant air didn’t make it any better. Just as she was about to give in to the heat and remove her coat, she spotted a familiar mansion ahead.
It was the Shion’s house, a family of brothers known to have a huge storage full of ice cream. A storage, eh? Miisha knew that a storage was a big place to store things, so if it stored ice cream, it must be a cold cold place. Perfect on a day like this. Perhaps Kaito was inside. He was such a gentle, if not clumsy, soul, and surely he would share some ice cream with her. The thought made her drool, so she ran towards the house and rang the doorbell.
After a few minutes of silence, she rang it again. Nothing. Maybe they weren’t home? Curious, she tried opening the door and found that it was actually slightly ajar. They leave their front door open? Back at home, Alpha would sternly remark about riskiness and dangers. Oh well. Miisha crept inside and shut the door behind her.
It was oddly silent and rather deserted inside – not to mention that it was just as warm inside the house as it was outside. Not bothering to remove her shoes, she tiptoed inside. Maybe she could help herself to some ice cream? She’ll just leave a note of thank you behind. But first, she had to find that storage. As she walked through the halls, she felt a fresh breeze coming from somewhere inside. It was somewhat cool. That had to lead to the ice cream storage!
When she arrived at the door, she was disappointed. No storage, just a bathroom. Oddly enough, Miisha had the strangest feeling that something was quite wrong with the bathroom. Where was the breeze coming from? She snuck in and gasped when she saw the mirror – or was she thought was supposed to be a mirror, except that it reflected a beautifully serene forest, not herself.
A portal? She thought. Overcome by curiosity, Miisha leapt at the mirror and found herself being sucked inside. With a thump, she landed on her feet inside the forest.
“ Wow! This is so awesome!” Miisha exclaimed excitedly. It was remarkably cool too, since it seemed like morning was just arriving in this world. The forest looked like something worth exploring, but she wanted to do it with a friend. Maybe Note and Mirai would come with her. Miisha whirled around to run home and tell everyone about this place and that it would be a great place to –
Something was wrong. Miisha looked around wildly, the smile on her face fading. Where was the way out? There was nothing but forest around her now. She waved her arms around frantically. “ Hey, hey!”
The truth hit her like a sledgehammer. She was stuck in the forest, with no way to go home, with no protection, with no one to turn to. She was lost, and alone. Oblivious to the village that was just moments away from her, she sat down and cried. (Sorry if it's too long people Dx)

The village was small and ordinary. There were many houses and chickens wandering the road. Some children, but not many, ran around giggling and chasing one another. One woman was tending to her garden and most of the men were out in the fields on the other side of the river.
As a newcomer, Taito caught the attention of many bystanders. After all, someone swathed in bandages with a dark aura didn't really seem very safe. Some mothers called their children in and men walking by kept an eye on him. Great. Not a word was spoken and Taito was a bad guy.
Taito searched around for anything of interest. The village, situated close to a forest of dangerous creatures, contained a small armory and weaponry. A general store sat nearby as well and Taito entered. The store manager was standing behind the lone counter as the shop assistant stacked the shelves with merchandise.
The shop manager stood a little straighter and smiled. "Welcome! May I help you?" He put his best business smile on and straightened his apron.
"I'm just looking around." Taito bowed slightly. He reminded himself to get something if possible. If he didn't buy anything, he'd feel a bit bad.
The manager kept his huge smile on his face and watched as Taito wandered around and examined the sales. Tinder boxes, hatchets, and clothing adorned the shelves. There was a lot of food, too. Taito's stomach growled to remind him to feed it soon. The food here was so weird, though.
There were cans of vegetables and animals that he had never even heard of before. Most of them were unpronounceable and confusing. On some packs, here were some symbols that didn't even make sense. After about 5 minutes of staring in confusion, Taito shrugged and grabbed a knapsack-thing. It was labeled "Wilderness Survival".
Good enough. After noticing grabbing a can of soup, Taito hurried over to the counter and placed the items down. After the manager stated the price(9 silver pieces. What?), Taito examined his wallet. What the hell were silver pieces? 100 yen coins, maybe? He tested that out and dropped 9 coins on the counter.
The manager took them without noticing how wrong they were and waved as Taito left the store. "Have a nice day! Please come back sometime!"
Taito opened the can with his ice pick(probably not a good idea but he had nothing else) and slurped the soup. It was just ordinary cold soup but his grumbling stomach was overjoyed and glad to be fed. Starving made food taste ten times better. When the soup was all gone, Taito felt a lot better and placed the can in his Wilderness Survival knapsack. He didn't know where else to put it.
That brought his thoughts to the knapsack. What was in it anyways? Taito began to examine the contents. Inside, there was a tinderbox, a bunch of dried food, a robe, a gourd, and a few hunting knives. It was useful, but Taito was hoping for a BIT more. Oh well.
Taito walked over to a well that was in the center of the village and sat on the edge. Some woman who were gossiping hurriedly scattered. Taito ignored them and began to plan his next move.
