[he pauses for a second before looking away, shaking his head lightly. also i keep forgetting but right now, he has dog ears due to the effect! they look very fluffy. they droop a little bit.]
...No, I don't think so. I thought someone kind of looked familiar, but it's probably nothing.
[ oh right the effect - kazunari has black cat ears that clash with the blond hair. ]
...That seems to happen a lot in these places.
A karaoke bar is where you go to sing with friends! They play the music and lyrics, and anyone can sing to it, either in a private room or in front of everyone. They're big things in cities like this!
[he says, silently deciding to just not look at any more of the shadows. it's fine. he blinks, ears perking up at that.]
Ooh, that sounds really fun! Is it common where you're from, or is it—
[whatever he was about to say is lost as he feels something shifting strangely under his feet, before moving away to see the ground where he was standing crumbling away.]
[he notices very quickly that kazunari isn't behind him and turns around to try to grab his arm! but since he's having a tiny bit of trouble with depth perception right now, he accidentally pushes against his shoulder instead. oops.]
Sorry, sorry, but - don't stop, even if you saw something weird, okay?

Could be... Doesn't seem dangerous so far, at least, but it's probably not a bad idea to keep our guards up.

[he pauses for a moment, though, eye narrowing as he glances at one of the figures as they walk by.]
...Huh.
no subject
[ he pauses a second after rupert, glancing back. ]
Did you see something?
no subject
...No, I don't think so. I thought someone kind of looked familiar, but it's probably nothing.
[so, moving on.]
What's a karaoke bar?

[ he's about to continue, but he follows rupert's gaze and takes a few big steps back. ]
Oh, def not. So that's a no on the karaoke, then.
no subject
[powerwalking away goodbye, but he stays just long enough to make sure kazunari is going to keep pace with him]
Watch where you step... I wouldn't be surprised if more of those open up as we keep going.
no subject
[ he is not fast... but he can keep up for now. goodbye, weird holes! ]
Is the whole place just collapsing in on itself? What the heck?
no subject
[that being said, he won't go any faster than it seems like kazunari can - he doesn't want to leave him behind or move past him.]
no subject
[ "easy enough," he was going to say, but something catches his eye and his step falters. ]
