+20+ Relocation confusion

[fellpool]

[Set a little after midnight on April 2 in house 59.]

[Leon is slow to wake up from what feels like a bad dream -- something about him being stuck somewhere, unable to get back home. It's vague and strange enough to be uncomfortable, but struggling against the dream just seems to drag him further in... When at last he regains control of himself, he forces his eyes open, breathing hard and resisting the urge to roll out of bed; reflexes or not, he didn't want to wake up his roommate.

...It takes a moment for him to realize something is off about his room. His eyes adjust quickly, and he realizes he's looking too far up to see the ceiling. He peers over the edge of the bed, not seeing the bottom bunk that he had been expecting.]

Loki-kun?

[He climbs out of bed, stumbling towards the door to hit the light switch. This ... wasn't his room. Where was the bunk bed he shared with Loki? His yo-yos and Rubik's cubes were on that shelf, but that definitely wasn't his shelf.

He pulls open his bedroom door, ready to hurry out to the living room and call for his housemates. Names die in his throat when he finds that he doesn't recognize the hallway he's stepped out to, and he grips the doorknob warily before slowly, cautiously stepping back into the bedroom.

Leon hurries over to the bedside, fetching the journal off the small table there. After double-checking it, he opens it up and -- without worrying about a filter -- starts speaking.]

[voice]

H-- hey. Loki-kun, this isn't funny. What did you do? It's too late to be doing this kind of stuff... [He mutters under his breath.] We still have school in the morning.

Minato-san, I think someone's playing another trick on me...

[action]

[Whenever he gets dressed and finally gets up his courage to explore the house, Leon can be seen creeping around house 59 wearing his standard black beanie and dark green hooded sweatshirt. He's trying to find the front door so he can find a pair of shoes to ... uh, borrow.]

W-well, uh... to tell the truth, I'm not sure, either.

[Sorry, Leon. Claude is just so helpful today!]

[fellpool]

[If it was any other time, Leon might just groan loudly. As it is though, he titters nervously and glances around.]

I guess we should look for it.

[mirrorblade]

Alright. [He looks down the dark hallway.] This hallway's a dead end, it looks like... so let's try the way you came.

[fellpool]

[He nods, backing up and turning so he can walk back through the corridor. He's still trying to calm down from Claude startling him.]

...Sorry for waking you up, Claude-san.

[mirrorblade]

[Claude decides to follow him, even though he's not quite prepared to leave yet himself.]

Um, it's... fine. [He's pretty sure he's never heard Leon call him that before, though.] Better now than later, right?

[fellpool]

I don't know about that... This could have waited until morning. [...] Well, except then we'd wake up anyone else here.

[mirrorblade]

I think it's better to leave before anyone else notices us, haha...

[So very awkward. Claude looks around when they reach the end of the hallway. It's pretty dark, but the little bit of light that shines in through the windows makes it apparent that there's definitely a door over there.]

Looks like that's it.

[fellpool]

[He peers over from behind Claude, making a soft sound of agreement before hurrying over to the door. He almost stumbles over the shoes lined up near the door in the process.]

Ah-- Oh, that's right. We'll need these. [His natural vision helps him in the dim light, and he's able to kneel amongst the shoes and find a pair that ... looks like his own? Huh.]
