My name's Shouto Todoroki. I'm a student from UA and a recent arrival to Trench. I wasn't in the other place, Deerington, I think they call it, but I'm supposed to be a Sleeper like them. 

[ Not that he understands what that means exactly. Too many questions brew in his head. Too  many new experiences, including waking up as a squid in the ocean which disturbs him less than what he's found out about this place. Blood magic. At least that's what it seems to him. He's still grappling with all the information thrown at him and there's conflict in his eyes, not obvious but visible. Unwilling to reveal anymore he leaves it there. He needed to make himself visible in case someone from his world was here and with that accomplished, he falls back to something more mundane and easy to grasp. Besides, he needs a place to sleep. ]

The abandon homes. Someone said we can claim one for our own. Is that true?

I see... so there are more than one arriving who were not in the nightmare. That's... telling.

[Telling that, in a way their experience was similar to that of the dream, though why? She couldn't say. Why would new people be drawn here even without Julia's desperate plea for help.]

Abandoned homes should be safe to claim. You can double check to be sure, but really if there's a heavy layer of dust, nobody lives there. Just be careful of ghosts. You never know here.

[swellter]

There are ghosts here?

[ He can handle a lot of things but ghosts?! Surely you jest! ]

[onerthes]

Not that I've seen, yet. But in my experience, abandoned buildings anywhere associated with what we've seen always have the possibility of being haunted. basically, if you can imagine something involving a monster of some sort?

It's quite possible it's here somewhere.

[swellter]

[ Not a ghost then. Right. That makes sense. ]

I haven't come across any monsters here yet, unless you're talking about the zombie-like creature [ 'lamp friend' ] that lives in my bag.

[onerthes]

No, those are quite harmless. Find a place that you wish to be easily traveled to and set them down. They will form a transportation point there. Most people like me have put them outside their homes.

For now, the worst were the pirates in the ocean and a few poisonous crabs. Believe me. Light fare by our standards.

[swellter]

You put them outside your house? But aren’t they lonely?

[ It’s not like he’s been talking - albeit fruitlessly - to his. ]

Did they have them in the other place? Deerington?

[ And he’s blinking in surprise at the mention of - ]

Pirates? I thought that was just in manga.

[ He may not have read One Piece but everyone in his generation at least knew about it. Quietly curious, he can’t help but ask - ]

Do you know any of them?

[onerthes]

They seem quite comfortable there. It caused there to be aa small group of them around a lantern. It's... what they do. The lantern serves as a teleportation point in town.

They did. Once, for about a month. They hovered around safe places. [She snorted] The pirates were rather real, as well, and tentacly.

No. They were rather far gone mentally, and barely aware. More monster than man any longer, sadly.
