[Now, Junpei has not been the most sociable new arrival, before this point. One might even call him sullen, because he certainly is, having spent most of the time from the trek up the cliffs to now, sitting in the carriage, mostly just sighing and rolling his eyes intermittently. It's not that he's opposed, fundamentally speaking, to saving the world— it's just, how many times does a guy need to fucking do that before he gets a break?

The turtles were new, at least. Conceptually there's a lot of novelty, but down in the real basics, not so much. He's gotten the loud complaining-to-no-one out of his system by now, even petted a horse!, and now he's settled into his seat in this carriage for a good, hearty Sulk.

For the first, say, ten minutes, he'll offer nothing more than just his name and a vague hum of acknowledgement to anything said to him, and then he more or less tunes out everything else. Window to stare out of, earbuds to use, good enough— he might not be the best chatty company, but he's harmless, right? Sure.

That is until he tries in vain to tap into the SHIFT ability he can no longer use, for maybe the fifth time today, and maybe it's the degree of focus he puts it into it now in this quiet moment, but it sparks life into his new kinetic magic and instead of SHIFTing quietly and casually back into the timeline where he doesn't have to play Wizard Heroes, he teleports unceremoniously into a different part of the carriage.

Is it... your lap? Is it... just on the dang floor under your seat? Rest assured he's as confused as anyone else.]

Uh— what the hell! Now this place has rebound?

[And regardless of where he's wound up, he looks over at where he was sitting a second ago, as if expecting to see himself still sitting there. What the hell ass, man!!]

That... wasn't me. I mean, I didn't mean— Sorry about this.

[Ahem. Smooth.]

[Or: Why did Junpei sign up for this, he has many regrets already. He hasn't even ventured a step into the cave yet, having gotten the gist for what's going to happen from enough people who've made it out already-- successfully or not. A horrible cave of fears isn't, like, the most appealing? For some random rocks?

So he's loitering by the entrance to said cave in his complementary cloak, frowning at it for a long moment before he glances at whoever's come to do this crystal cave mission with him.]

So, since we're about to learn way too much about each other, what should I expect from you...? If it's something like going murder-happy on the nearest person, I'm out of here.

[He will demand recompense!! He folds his arms and frowns even harder.]

Or maybe we're supposed to be the thing that's scary. [...okay, stupid,] Just an idea.

sooo we're supposed to be magic heroes, got that. okay. sure, whatever. 1 question:

is this like a secret identity magic hero thing? do you guys do code names here, or what? maybe teams?

[A code name would be... SUPER dope... don't look at his username.]

[go buckwild my dudes!! pm me if you got any burning questions.]
