[ Kyouko was frustrated. She was frustrated, confused, and it felt like she was living in a fever dream. Waking up in tubes? Mysterious buildings? And suddenly a carnival? None of this made any sense and even her weirdest imaginings struggled to compete with how random and unchained it all felt. So she had some tension to work out and when she saw a game stall where the prizes included statues of herself and Byakuren she decided that this was where she'd work out that frustration.

A test of strength, huh? Well she fancied herself pretty physically fit. Taking the giant mallet, she reared back and slammed as hard as she could...

... only making it about halfway up. ]

Oh come on! Can just one thing now go my way today! I woke up... in a TUBE! [ She took another swing, making it about the same distance up the scale, letting out an angry growl. Help her out here? Maybe share with her some super-strength food? ]

[ Well the Ferris Wheel should be relaxing, right? You've talked her into it after seeing her clear frustration during the carnival. Maybe a nice slow ride like this would give her time to take some deep breaths, meditate for a bit, find her mantra and let the Buddha guide her to a worry free life or... something like that. ]

Thanks for talking me into this. She sounded genuinely grateful, at least. I was about to blow my top back... there...

[ But her words slowed to a crawl as she reached the top. She was expecting to see the cityscape as they came to the pinnacle of the wheel, but instead she found herself staring at a place she'd never seen before, even in dreams. A vast land, with a huge massive mountain not too far way, two great forests (one seemingly made entirely of bamboo), a giant lake with a red bricked mansion at the edge, and what her eyes finally focused on was... a quaint little temple, by the looks of it. It had to be Buddhist from the decorations, as well as the structures leading up to it. Strangely, it seemed to have been constructed from the remains of a giant wooden ship... And most strangely, there was a girl sweeping the pathways in front, one that looked so familiar it gave her a headache, forcing her eyes closed...

Only to open them and see Recolle once more, though still in its pixelated state. ]

W-what? What just... Did you see ANY of that?

[ If she had to ask how things could go from 'bad' to 'worse, she honestly wouldn't have imagined giant video game bugs attacking her as she tried to make her way back home, shrieking loudly and running through the streets as she tried to evade their pursuit. And considering just how loud she was being, she was only going to attract more, unwittingly. ]

Help! Someone help me! [ Even if she could box like Byakuren did, she was damn well sure she didn't have the strength to fight against THOSE things. ]

TASUKETE!!!!
