@yoon j。ʸ⁰⁰ⁿᶦᵉ- *wearing a cute shortsleved dress and carrying a bag that looks to be from a local supermarket in one hand my purse over my other shoulder I reach up to knock on her door three times like she asked*

The streets were quiet. Eerily so. Baekhyun didn't like it so he put up a few posters as quickly as he could then headed to the massage parlor.

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ Oh, so like an exchange? I mean, that's up to you, but I'll gladly sit and listen without making you pay for dinner, Yewon. /nods slowly at your explanation/ I see, I see. So, maybe when we return to Magnolia, we could watch them together! I might need some clarification throughout the series, but I'd be more than willing to have a day where we sit down and run through them together. What do you say?

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ well if you don't mind listening to me rant, then I don't mind paying for dinner. *I laugh* anyway I don't know how often they do it, but the BBC did make a series of a bunch of the Narnia books, I wish they had done all the books but still the ones they did stand up well enough on their own and is what you should watch first. The story makes so much more sense in the BBC version. And I think the characters are better developed. Disney version has plenty of eye candy, but it's all style and very little substance. While the BBC version has a well balanced mix of both style and substance. *I smile and nod pick up my chopsticks again and start back in*

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ I think it's interesting to get other people's opinions on things, though. So no, I don't mind hearing you rant about the books versus the movies and how the adaptations weren't that great. I wasn't aware that BBC made movies, too? Do you think I should watch those first and then check out the Disney version? /I ask while picking up the chopsticks after the food gets placed on the table/ Well, thank you again for paying for this! Like I said, I'll give you money when we return to Magnolia to make up for it.

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ no it's not that, I know because the BBC adapted the same set of books into movies long before Disney got in on the act, and while you can tell it they didn't have even half the budget, Their version is so so much better. So if it can be done decently on a PBS type budget there's no excuse for the the crew with the super deep pockets, and an even a template to follow not at least do a similar quality job. it wasn't the production quality or the difficulty of translating the written word to the screen, it was the adaption decay that ruined it. *I pause for a bit* ahh, but you probably don't want to hear me rant, and about some story you've never experienced no less. *I nod and look over as well as our food gets set out* ooh that does look good *I say and start in*

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ I see, I see. I haven't read the book nor seen the movie, but I'll take your word for it. Sometimes it's difficult to remake a book into a movie, so...maybe that was the case. Maybe it was just too difficult to portray certain aspects. I don't know. /nods my head once/ That sounds like a great plan! Kill two birds with one stone, yeah? /chuckles softly, then glances over to where the waiter was returning with our meals/ Oh- food's coming! It smells delicious.

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ I usaly like Sci-fi, or modern fantasy best. But, even tough it's not in either category, Chronicles of Narnia is my favorite. it was a real shame that Disney Butchered it. While they did great with the visuals it really looked amazing. But it felt like they had left out so much important stuff and then they hastily crudged in other things to try to come up with some reason why things where happening while completely ignoring the much better explanation that actually is in the book. anyways we can stop by the embassy's after lunch, and while they are working the paperwork though we can hit up the shops.

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ You think so? I always say that I find myself to be a very boring person, aha. But a kitsune sounds so awesome! And it's especially awesome that you're making robots and such. Mm...video games and anime? I don't think I've ever engaged in either of them before. I guess I should say that I never really had /time/ for it, either, I'm afraid. Oh, you like to read, too? What types of books do you prefer? Like, which genres? /hums softly/ Yeah, sure. We can check out the shops, but we have to make sure we make efforts towards getting home, too.

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ ooh that's cool, your a neat person. *she smiles* myself I'm a Kitsune, a fox sprit. also known as Huli jing, and Kumiho. depending on where they are from. some of us are tricksters others are protectors. I fall in the protectors camp, I'm currently doing a programing internship where I develop code for robots. in my spare time, I have mostly geeky pursuits I like to play video games, watch anime. go shopping, work on cosplay stuff like that. Though I also do some reading. *She nods and grabs her own chopsticks and starts eating* while we are here i would love to check out some of the shops especially in the Akihabara area.

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ Oh, I see...It's a good thing that you were actually able to communicate with her or else we'd really be stuck. Okay, good! Then I'll make sure to give you money once we return to Magnolia. /frowns a little/ How did we even end up in this mess? It was supposed to be an innocent date that was set up through the app and now we have to meet with the embassy people to be able to fly home. This better not take a super long time! The longer we stay here, the worse it will be. /after the meal arrives, I grab a pair of chopsticks and start to shovel some of the ramen into my mouth/ Mm...well, first of all, I'm a qilin...otherwise known as a Chinese unicorn. My job has always been to reveal people's fates to them. I'm also a nurse at the hospital in Magnolia and I enjoy reading and dancing, though that has been limited with how much I've worked these past few months. What about you?

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ well I tried to explain the situation with my card and phone but she wasn't about to give out the password unless I was a paying customer. so I put in an order and had her try the card. it worked, and I got the password. so now we should be able to call people from here, and have dinner. *she nods* sure you can once we get back, I guess after dinner we should try to find our embassy here. *She shrugs* as they'd be best able to answer the question about how to we get cleared to fly. though I doubt it'll be an quick or easy process. Especially since I'm not Korean. and of course all my visa paperwork is in my apartment. *I sigh* well i did want an adventure. Guess I Got one. *She says as the bowls of ramen and the soda's arrive* but that's forget about all that for now, and tell me about yourself. lets do a proper dinner date, then we'll worry about the rest latter.

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ /stands patiently off to the side, a nervous expression on my face as I make out only a few words of her conversation with the waitress before I head over to the table and sit down across from her/ So, uh, what did she say? Is there a way for us to get home, Yewon? /I ask before blinking twice at her words/ Wait- you paid for everything already? Ah...allow me to give you money to make up for it when we return to Magnolia, okay? But yes, let's finish this blind date, hm?

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ *It does take some back and forth before something happens. you can pick up that, they aren't about to give out the password unless we buy some food, and me trying to explain the situation with the card. then eventually me paying for two meals and two drinks. thankfully it does go though, and the waitress brings us over to a table, and I sit down* well, lets have that dinner date since I had to buy the food anyways.

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ Yeah, thank goodness. I feel much better being out here versus in that bathroom. /everything that she was saying was making him more and more worried and all he wanted to do was return to Magnolia where he was comfortable and felt safe; now they were stuck in a foreign country with no way to get home/ There are so many complications! Goodness, why did this have to happen to us? All we did was innocently go into a ramen shop for a blind date... /he whines quietly, following the kitsune over to one of the women working tonight, hoping that this waitress would be able to help them in some way/

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ "not saying it would of been easy, just that I think I could of figured something out, it's certainly better we don't have to worry about that anymore." She nods then sighs "Well this is going to make things more complicated. and it gets worse. I just realized two things. even if we got money that they will accept for plane tickets, we need passports to leave the country. Also until I contact my bank they might think my card has been stolen if I start using it. since I haven't used it in a in person store outside of magnolia since I moved in" she sighs. "but maybe if I could get my phone on wi-fi I could contact them. it can make calls with out a cell signal if it has internet access." she says then thinks a bit more "ooh if we are in a major city like Tokyo, they get enough visitors coming through that most people know least some English, and I'm good at that" she says and walks over to a waitress that doesn't look busy and then in English asks "Hello, uh can I get the wi-fi password?"

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ Still...it wouldn't be easy to explain, Yewon. A guy in a women's restroom never is a good thing. I don't know any Japanese either and pretty sure our money wouldn't be accepted here anyway unless we somehow got it converted to the currency. Hopefully, your credit card will still work, or this might be a huge problem, especially because we wouldn't have any money to get back to Magnolia. /he mumbles, nibbling on his lower lip as he tries to figure out as to what to do/

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ "Well I'd vouch for you that you where not in there for any bad reasons if that happened, though thankfully I don't think anyone noticed. anyways yea it appears we where teleported. how and why I have no idea.. ooh gosh that leads to a few problems. like I only know a few words in Japanese, and I don't got any money, and likely we are in a human run city now, so we'll have to be rather careful about our powers if we don't want to stick out for the wrong reasons. though my credit card might still work. so ummm, are you any good at Japanese?

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ This would be...really bad if I was caught in a women's restroom, Yewon. /he replies nervously, looking over at her with a worried expression, now definitely wanting to escape to avoid any issues; once outside, he glances at the sign on the door and groans/ This is a girl's bathroom. Good thing we were the only ones in there or else I'd be super embarrassed! Not to mention...I'd probably be labeled as a or something...and I don't want that at all. /he mumbles, then looks around at the rest of the ramen shop, noticing the staff and customers/ Ah, that's what it looks like, but- Yewon, how is that even possible? Did we teleport or something?

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ (btw encase your wondering about that generic female icon https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/3102/0474/products/womens-toilet-symbol-sign-32_360x.gif?v=1524527852 )

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ I don't think so, least it shouldn't be that easy. But there's a lot of things I would of said where impossible that I've been witness too. so I'm not sure if anything really is impossible. *sighs* but looks like we did teleport somewhere. I know for sure we where not in a bathroom a few minutes ago and this doesn't look like the bathrooms in that place not to mention we where not standing nearby the door to them. *I say looking around* though if i was to take a guess from the lack of any urinals in here we might be in a women's restroom. but where this restroom is i can't say. *I then nod go to follow you out, we are still in a restaurant, and the smell of fresh ramen is still strong in the air as we exit the bathrooms, on the door is that well known generic female icon and some kanji below it. also unlike the other place which had a big mix of ethnicity's most of the people here look Japanese, not everyone but the majority do, but all the staff we can see from here do* Well I don't think we are in Kansas anymore... did we some how get set to a ramen shop in japan?

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ I'm not terrible at English, but yeah- It doesn't look very well put together...nor does it seem to make any sense. /falling silent for a moment, he listens to her pronounce the strange combination of words, about to make a comment on it, but doesn't have a chance since the entirety of the air and room around them changed completely, confused once they both end up in a shady-looking bathroom, a frown etching its way onto his lips/ I- what...surely, this isn't possible? Did we teleport somewhere? /he asks while looking at the interior of the bathroom, then quickly nods his head/ You're right. Let's at least get out of here and somewhere we can figure out what exactly is going on. /he says, then makes his way to the door/

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ Well they are English characters, but that's not really English. more like a word soup or just artistic lettering. *I say tilting my head some.* it says Pear monkey maze bloom algae zoop with simmer sim make ill but but bonk bull punt bill more and then this part is is just like bokikak dbwoll booots woooga moooke zappa zaaba zooo. *I laugh* see it doesn't.... *I start to say but then suddenly time seems to slow around us, and everything around us start pixelate and blur as if we where looking at at big picture that was degrading, not actually standing in a restaurant* uh okay this is creepy. *I just have time to say before the rest of the space around us is in a complete blurr. A few seconds latter everything comes back into focus and looks real again but we are not in the same place we where before this all happened* what the heck happened? *I gasp looking around, it looks like we are in some public bathroom, can't see in the stalls of course but it appears empty except for us* okay this is freeky. and we should probably leave this room before someone comes in...

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ Oh, okay! Maybe I'll just order what you're getting then! /he smiles, stopping behind the next person in line/ That's okay. It gives us more time to talk and that will pass the time, y'know? /he then directs his gaze to where she was looking, a confused expression crossing his features/ What language is that written in...? Do you know?

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ ooh you should they got lots of good stuff here, I often go for a beef tonkotsu ramen. that's stuff is amazing *I say as we get in to the line* only annoying part is the line. *she shrugs* ooh hey they got a new poster up..

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ Oh, good! It's very nice to meet you, too. And I'm doing alright! How are you? /he follows her inside and glances around the shop, taking in the cute decor and delicious aromas/ Yeah? I've never been to this shop before, but I'll take your word for it! What type of ramen do you usually order, Yewon? /he asks while pulling out his wallet/

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ hey *she smiles and waves* yes it is, hows it going? uh.. *she peeks at her phone* Yixing *she hopes she pronounced that right* it's nice to meet you as well *I say as we then go to head into the nice looking noodle shop then get in line to order* I really like the ramen they make here.

@yewon k。ˢⁿᵒʷᶜˡᵒᵘᵈᵈʳᵉᵃᵐᵉʳ /even though he had been on many dates before, he still felt nervous before every single one; his hands gripped the steering wheel tightly to try and calm his nerves, but it didn't help too much; when he arrived, he parked his car and got out, spotting a girl dressed in pink who he easily identified as his date for the evening/ Yewon, is that you? /he still asked, a smile making its way onto his features as he approached her/

@yixing z。ˡᵃʸᵐᵉᵈᵒʷⁿ *She was going to meet up with her new blind date at a nice restaurant in town, nothing to fancy as she's not had good luck with that before. but still one nice enough for a first date. She arrives wearing a cute sakura print dress and a pink button down sweater, a pair of sandals, and her purse. She has her hair down and a dark pink hairband in place as she arrives* Okay now I just have to wait for him to show up. *she says to herself checking her phone again for his name and the time they agreed to meet up*
