[nyuspecies]

[ Nyu does not recognize where she has woken up. It is dark and cold, and not familiar at all. The spine of a book is digging into her stomach. When she moves in the cramped space it falls open to broadcast a banging.

This banging can also be heard in the kitchen. It is coming from inside the oven. There is a muffled and confused voice from behind the oven door, also sounding over the pages of the journal. ]

Nyu? Nyuuu?

[ Nyu has arrived in Paradisa inside the oven. She is all squashed up like a contortionist with the journal book open by her mouth. ]

[Adachi's in the kitchen

Minding his business

Being kind of grumpy

Just getting something to eat before he heads out job hunting/apartment scouting again because he is tired of wishing for shit these days

When all of a sudden he hears

That

And almost jumps right out of his skin]

H-Huh!?

[nyuspecies]

[ Nyu is still inside the oven. She is banging around trying to figure out how to get out. ]

NYUUU!

[foolreversed]

[oh god that came from the oven

THAT DEFINITELY CAME FROM THE OVEN

OH GOD ALL THE SUMMER GHOST STORIES ARE COMING BACK!!]

H-H-H-Haunted!! The oven's haunted!

[nyuspecies]

[ Nyu finds the door to the oven by accident. She spills out onto the floor upside down and looks up at the man shouting. ]

Nyu?

[foolreversed]

O-oh... It's just....

A girl...?

[biggestdreamer]

[Takato comes running over to the oven as he hears the sound.]

Is someone in there?

[nyuspecies]

[ Is she outside somebody's home? Nyu is silent for a beat and then knocks from the inside. ]

Hello!

[biggestdreamer]

Um, hello?

[He hesitantly knocks back.]

Do you need some help?

[nyuspecies]

[ The knocking from her side unlatches the door by coincidence. Nyu comes spilling out to land in a tangle on the floor. ]

...Nyu.

[biggestdreamer]

[Takato yelps and hastily scrambles backwards. Of course he manages to trip over himself on the way and ends up sprawled on the floor.]

[valuedstrength]

[Tentatively opening the oven...???] Hello?

[nyuspecies]

[ Suddenly blinded from the light! Nyu covers her eyes and falls out onto the floor. ]

Nyuuuuu.

[valuedstrength]

[Steve will try to help her up.] Are you okay, miss?

[nyuspecies]

[ Nyu gets to her feet. She gives him a lost look. ]

Nyu?

[valuedstrength]

Sorry, I don't understand. [He's looking her over for anything amiss.]

[inafadingcrown]

[Well, this is a new one, even for her. But it's Paradisa. What can you do? The weird is part of the deal.

She'll just casually open the oven and extend her hand to help the girl out.]

You poor dear.

[nyuspecies]

[ The light is blinding after the oven. After a beat to adjust Nyu takes Galadriel's hand. ]

Nyu?

[inafadingcrown]

You are a new arrival, I assume? [Granted, this is the strangest way of showing up that she's ever seen, but she's given up trying to make sense of these things.]

[nyuspecies]

[ She has certainly never seen here before. That makes her new, right? ]

Yes!

[inafadingcrown]

[It certainly does! And Nyu is taking this extremely well, all things considered. Color Galadriel impressed.]

Might I ask your name?

[silentrunning]

[Chell had been in the kitchen, getting something to munch on. When the banging behind the oven door started, she leaped backward and scrabbled under a table to hide. But when nothing came out to grab her, curiosity got the better of her.

Slowly, she crept over to the oven, and pulled open the door, peering very curiously inside.]

[nyuspecies]

[ A big red eye peers back just as curiously. ]

Hello?

[silentrunning]

[Chell blinks for a second, almost leaping back, thinking that oh my god no a turret has found its way to Paradisa. But no. There's a face beyond that eye, when she peers closer. She pulls the oven door all the way open.

When she's greeted, she waves a hello, and gives a small smile, and offers the girl her hand very tentatively. Not used to contact, this one. But the girl in the oven seems to be horribly confused, and probably new. And Chell is still new enough herself. She just hopes she doesn't seem too threatening, because her damnable curiosity is starting to get the better of her.]

[nyuspecies]

[ Nyu takes that hand. She is confused where everybody is -- Kouta most of all. ]

Nyu?

[ She doesn't look too frightened. She is more confused and curious. ]

[silentrunning]

[And Chell, being curious herself, helps her out of the oven. What a weird place to wind up. But as soon as the girl's out of the oven, she extracts her hand and wanders over to a table. Plopping down, and opening her journal, she scrawls a message, unsure if the girl she just rescued out of the oven can read, as she's found others who can't, but she'll try writing and if that doesn't work, then she'll find another way.]

What's your name? Mine's Chell. Are you new here?
