Dave is silent for a moment, ignoring how Painwheel cuts through the ball thrown at them via Buer Drive.

"well shit i didnt actually think of that" Dave facepalms. "goddammit im an idiot"

Elsewhere...

A tall, purple-haired young woman dressed in some kind of school uniform falls out of a portal, looking rather startled to say the least.

"W-what in the world..." Startled, she takes a look at her surroundings, taking in this strange new environment. Black grass grows from a red earth, and black trees with scarlet leaves surround her; apparently she's in some kind of forest. She looks, and on the horizon, she sees a pillar of shadow rising high into the black sky. Her eyes widen. "...what...is this place?"

Honestly, she feels like panicking. She's in some mysterious place unlike anything she's ever experienced before, she has no idea how to get back home, she has no idea if there's a way back home; for all she knows, she could be completely alone out here, and she is not that knowledgeable about survival in the wilderness...

But she resists the urge to panic, because if she breaks down here, it's not going to help her at all. What she should do is try and get some help - someone who could potentially get her back home and help her survive her-

Is that a guy with their head stuck in the ground?

Underground - well, only a few inches underground, but still - Ryotaro is currently trying to figure out a way to get his head out of this hole and up to the surface above. Thankfully, there appears to be some kind of air flow, so he can still breathe and have plenty of time to think.

"...maybe I could-" Ryotaro's train of thought is cut short when he feels a pair of hands grab his leg and pull hard. He immediately gets some hope. Maybe one of the Taros has gotten to him and is trying to pull him ou-

And then he pops out of the ground, landing flat on the ground with his eyes facing the black sky. Shaking his head, he looks forward to see...not one of the Taros, but the purple-haired girl.

"Are you alright, sir? I saw you stuck in the ground and I thought..." The woman trails off.

"I'm fine, really. Thanks for your help." Ryotaro nods.

"I-it was nothing, really. I... I just did what anyone else would've done..." The woman mutters in response, fiddling with her hair a bit as she looks at Ryotaro. Then she suddenly snaps to attention as something occurs to her. "Oh! Actually, while I'm talking to you...I need some help getting back home. Could you help me out with that? I'd understand if you don't want to, but I'd really appreciate it if you did."

"Oh." Ryotaro thinks for a moment. "I...don't really know much about this place at all...but maybe we can find someone who can? We could help each other out."

He gets up. "My name's Ryotaro. What's yours?"

"Yuri." Yuri gets up, nodding.

There's a moment of silence.

"Well, we should get going..." Ryotaro starts walking, heading for the path behind Yuri.
