(ooc: The date is May 17. An introduction thread for more new characters who don't want to jump in to Finding or Lost, or a place for characters who aren't a part of a group yet. Meant for character development.)
The more the white-haired boy thought about it, the stranger it became. Just how had he ended up in this world? Why had it felt like he had been forcefully torn away? More importantly, in that moment, was the thought of where his meister was. He was worried about her more than he would like to admit. Soul was snapped out of his thoughts when he realized the scenery had changed. No longer was he wandering aimlessly in a forest. Instead, there was a beautiful lake before him and a relaxed feeling in the air. For once since he had entered the world, Soul felt relatively safe.
"Well, this sure beats the forest." Soul stated. He knew no one else was around, or at least it felt like no one else was around, and so he was just talking to himself for the moment. It didn't bother him that much, though. Not as much as not knowing what had happened did. Still, Soul welcomed a chance at relaxing. Without further hesitation, Soul approached the lake and sat down in front of it. He carefully dipped his hand into the cool water, letting a soft 'hmmm' of pleasure escape him. The cool water felt pleasant, especially after wandering for what seemed like forever.
A moment later, though, Soul grew tense. He could have sworn he heard something moving behind him. Drawing his hand from the water and shaking the droplets off as carefully as he could, Soul glanced back the way he had come. "Who's there?" he asked.

"Hey!" Lilo came running up to the man. Nani told her not to talk to strangers but this boy seemed okay, not scary at all and definitely not a vampire. Her big eyes looked up at him as she clutched Scrump to her body.
"What's up?"

A slight smirk formed on Soul's face as he relaxed again. It was just a kid. Quite a friendly looking one, at that. Turning around so Lilo could at least get a better look at his face, Soul shrugged a little in response. "Not much is up, I guess. I'm just trying to figure out how I got here." Soul replied. That must have sounded a bit silly, at least when Soul reflected on it for a moment. He was older than her, and yet he had no idea how he got there. Nice.
"But, it looks like we've found this place. That's got to count for something." he said. "I'm Soul, by the way. What's your name?" he asked.

"Lilo." Not supposed to talk to strangers her left foot. Nani would be mad but she had to talk to someone. She was lost and this boy seemed very nice. Nice enough.
Bare feet walking across closer to the young man, the girl looked up at him. She held up the doll. "And this is Scrump. She wants to know how we got out here too."

"Lilo and Scrump. Cool." Soul stated casually. "Good to know I'm not the only one clueless about how they got here." he added after a moment. Answers would have been good right then, though. Well, it certainly didn't look like they were going to be getting any conclusive answers right away. That was more of Maka's territory. Finding answers, that is. Soul tended to take the easy way out when he could.
"It's not looking like we're going to be figuring out where we are right away, though." he said at last. ...Now that he thought about it, where had Lilo even come from? It was dangerous to be out on their own. Even with his scythe blade, Soul still didn't feel entirely comfortable on his own. "I'm guessing it's just you and Scrump, then? Kind of dangerous, don't you think?" Soul asked. Admittedly, he was a bit concerned that one so young would be on their own. Who knew what sorts of dangers lurked out there?

''you shouldn't be worrying about that right now, this is on of the safest places in this world'' a tall young man with brown hair and brown eyes walked towards the lake. ''your not the only ones who are stuck here'' Flynn shrugged, ''me and my wife made a home for people who get lost around here'' the former thief pointed at a beautiful house close to the lake. ''sorry i should probably introduce myself, i'm Flynn''

Oh, so there was someone else there after all. That made Soul feel a bit better, especially after Flynn mentioned that it was one of the safest places in the area. "Well, that's good to know. At least we can relax here without worry." Soul said as he stood up once more. He carefully looked Flynn over, nodding slightly when he determined he was speaking truthfully. Not that Soul had doubted him, but he was being cautious. "Name's Soul, by the way. This is Lilo and her friend Scrump. I think it's fairly obvious that the three of us are kind of lost." Soul explained. He was grateful that someone else was friendly in the area, and seemingly offering a place for them to stay. It would make his search for Maka easier once he actually started it.

''nice to meet you, and you could always stay with us if you like.'' Eugene looked from soul to the little girl with a doll, even kids where stuck here. ''do you have any friends or family who are around here to?'' he asked at the white haired boy, at least Eugene had Rapunzel, that made things a little better.

At that question, Soul snorted softly. Family? He didn't care that much about his family. They had only ever wanted him to be a musical prodigy. Like Wes. Soul was more than that. He was meant to be a Death Scythe. Of course, none of those thoughts were voiced. Soul didn't see any point in confusing Lilo or Flynn. "Family, no. Friends, on the other hand, I'm sure at least two might be in this world." Soul replied. "By any chance, have you seen a pink-haired kid or a blonde girl? They go by Crona and Maka." he said after a moment. It was doubtful that Flynn would have seen either the demon swordsman or Soul's meister, but it didn't hurt to ask.

Where was he now? From the looks of it, he'd arrived at a giant lake. Well, he'd have to take note of that. Yeah, SuperJail had the ocean, but a man..robot-made lake would be beneficial to have in the jail. As the Warden neared the lake, he froze for a moment, hearing footsteps and voices behind him. Out in this world, he was virtually powerless. The man scampered behind a tree, waiting to see who had been behind him.
Out of the undergrowth came two familiar faces; Bob and Taylor. The Warden breathed a small sigh of relief, but he had to wonder: how did they get here too?
"I could have sworn he was here!" Taylor said. Bob took to the ground, sniffing along as he went. "Bob, stop that. You're not a dog!" she said. Bob turned his head to face her, with a half-glare. "Then what do y'all call that?" Bob asked, pointing a pink hoof towards a tree near them.
"A tree." Taylor said, with a sarcastic tone. Bob sighed. Sometimes, he couldn't get her to see out of the box. "Kay y'all, look again." he said, pointing towards the tree. Taylor strained to look, spotting a purple tailcoat. She crept closer, before attacking the man behind it with a hug and a short squeal. The poor Warden was knocked to the ground, with an overly enthusiastic unicorn and teenage girl surrounding him.
"Dammit you two! Get off of me!" the Warden said, as he pulled himself out of their grasp. Taylor only laughed, knowing that the Warden never accepted her hugs, no matter how much of a father figure he seemed to her. Bob..well...he was just a lovable idiot. The Warden dusted off his clothes, and turned to face the two.
"So, how did you two get here? And where's Jared, Jailbot, and Alice?" he asked, with a stern look. Bob shrugged. "Haven't seen them, y'all. We just got here, just like y'all." Bob said. "But they can't possibly expect to run MY jail without me in it!" the Warden shouted, making quite the commotion.

Hearing voices not far from where he, Lilo, and Flynn were, Soul frowned slightly. It seemed they definitely weren't alone. He was half tempted to reveal his scythe blade just in case whoever it was happened to be dangerous, but he didn't. He'd find out who the voices belonged to first before making a move. "Hey. Who's out there, anyway? Want to make yourselves known?" Soul asked. This was definitely proving to be an... interesting day.

The Warden heard Soul's voice not too far away from where he, Taylor, and Bob were. "What the hell?" the Warden mumbled. He hadn't realized that they weren't alone. He then turned to Bob and Taylor, with a grin. "You two are still my assassins, aren't you? Why don't you two go on out there and investigate?" he asked, with a hint of pleading in his voice. Bob and Taylor looked at each other for a moment, before turning back to the Warden.
"Kay y'all, but you're comin' with us! No exceptions!" Bob said. Before the Warden could react, Taylor hopped onto Bob's back, leaning against the unicorn's neck as if she were lying on a tree trunk. Bob rushed towards the Warden, and used his head to toss the man onto his back. He grimaced as he landed onto the unicorn's back, but before he could even pull himself back up to a sitting position and face Taylor, Bob accelerated, causing the Warden to wrap his arms around Bob's midsection, the rest of his body flopping like a fish out of water as the unicorn galloped.
Bob finally came to a skid as he stopped in front of Soul. "Hey y'all!" Bob said, shoving his face right into Soul's, with a grin.

Bob shoving his face right in front of Soul was not something the white-haired boy had expected. "Personal space. Do you respect it?" Soul asked as he took a step back. Well, he'd gotten his answer about who else was there. Two other humans and a unicorn. Things couldn't possibly get any stranger. "Okay, now that you three made your appearance do you mind telling me who you are?" he asked. Start with introductions, then move forward.

The Warden lifted himself up, and into a sitting position on the unicorn's back. "Well, I'm--" He was cut off by Taylor, who promptly turned around, and faced Soul. "The name's Taylor. I'm an assassin for this guy's jail." she said, jerking a finger back towards the Warden. Bob nodded, and continued. "My name's Bob, y'all. I'm also an assassin, even if I don't look like I am." he said, with a grin. The Warden had a frown on his face, and his arms were crossed over his chest, almost like a child who wasn't allowed to have candy.
"Well, before I was rudely inturrupted..I'm the Warden of SuperJail." he said, with a small bow. "And like you heard them say, they're my assassins at my jail. I don't know how things work in your world, but I've never seen a kid that look as oddly dressed as you do. Are you some kind of wizard or something?" the Warden asked, with a curious tone.

"Taylor, Bob, and the Warden of SuperJail, huh?" Soul asked. "Well, I've never heard of this SuperJail place you mentioned but it sounds interesting." he stated. He raised an eyebrow slightly at Warden's statement about how he dressed. His attire was fairly normal for people in Death City. If he wanted strange, he ought to have pointed out Black*Star. Or even Crona. Crona definitely was weird with his choices of clothing. At last, though, Soul shrugged off the comment. The way he dressed shouldn't have been that important, anyway.
"Can't say I've ever seen anyone dress the way you do, either. But, that's beside the point. The name's Soul. I come from a place known as Death City, but more specifically I was a student at the Death Weapon and Meister Academy. ...Keyword being was. Since arriving here I've lost my partner and found myself a bit lost." Soul finally said. He didn't know just how strange his explanation might have sounded. To him, having come from where he was talking about, it was fairly normal sounding. To save some confusion, though, Soul left out the part about him being an actual weapon. He wouldn't bring that up unless they decided to ask more about him.
