01 (33) | In which a wizard is misplaced--again. [Dictated/Action]
[When one found oneself suddenly transported to a magical castle and no explanation, and one is also possessed of enough curiosity to have already swapped worlds completely once before, there's really not much to be done but go exploring, and that was exactly what Howl was doing.
It had taken awhile to finally stumble across the room with his name on the door--both his false one, and, concealed underneath it (more disconcertingly) his real one.
That's a neat trick, and one he's not sure he likes. Opening the door, it's even more disconcerting. Because it's not his bedroom back in the moving castle, by any means, but it is remarkably like that room. His clutter, his way of stacking things, even his bottles and packets and potions all stacked in the bathroom. A bedroom that was clearly his, but was also clearly not his at all.
It's a little worrying, to put it lightly.]
I'm getting the uneasy feeling this place knows far more about is than any empty building should.
[Maybe he'll get a reply. He's not sure how many people have worked out the apparently bespelled books for themselves. For passers by, though, the door is wide open, giving a good view of a dapper wizard looking rather gobsmacked by everything around him.]

I kinda get the same feeling!
I mean, how could a place like this know so much right? But then again it also kind of, y'know, just suddenly dropped us all here too. So there's no telling what else this place could do. But hey, you've gotta be ready for whatever life throws at you! I know it's full of surprises.
[wasn't there something else...?]
Oh! I'm Anna, by the way.

[He should know, after all]
It's quite another to somehow discover so much about them without their knowledge that you can stack a pile of books just the way they would.
[Which would be a precariously teetering heap, in this case, but...]
And we've no idea who's done it or why. I think that falls squarely outside the realm of anything any reasonable person ought to be prepared for.
[And introductions, well. He's going to avoid that for the moment. No sense in getting familiar if he's just going to find some way out of this madness soon...]
no subject
Well, you're not wrong there! Why would anyone expect to be whisked away to some castle with a bunch of people they don't know? Or be prepared for it somehow? Maybe if you were psychic...
[The who part haunts her. She doesn't want to think anyone's behind this. Or why they'd choose her of all people to end up here.]
no subject
[And by 'doing' he definitely means 'avoiding.]
