[h2]Konpaku Youmu[/h2]

He was getting ready to fight. It wasn't as if this was entirely unfamiliar to Youmu. Far from it, in fact. The half-phantom gardener had experienced such scenarios before. Because of the nonlethal nature of combat in Gensokyo, it was often certain residents' first option in any strange situation. To simply jump immediately to fighting, even if it seemed entirely unnecessary. Youmu herself couldn't exactly say she didn't sometimes enjoy such scenarios, even if she tried to be more reasonable at times. The simple fact was that she was able to practice her training in such situations, to put her skills to use. As a member of the Konpaku family, this capability filled her with pride.

But... was this how the outside world operated as well? Youmu hadn't thought so, and he seemed to be just as confused as she was... did that mean that he was also lost in this place? The more she looked at him, the more she realized how he simply didn't fit in this location. Was he from elsewhere as well...?

"... I have no idea what is happening," she replied, curtly, "But if you insist on a fight, then I will prepare myself."

Even as the small silvery-haired girl placed a hand on the hilt of Roukanken, she decided not to attempt to lethally injure her opponent. Not only was Youmu unused to attempting to kill others, but this man was her only link to what had happened.

She had to return to Yuyuko-sama.

[h2]Abigail Williams[/h2]

Abigail didn't know what was going to happen. If her Master wasn't here, would she disappear? She couldn't figure out where Master was... She'd wanted to help her more, she wanted to have fun with her Master, and her friends. But she was lost and alone, in some strange place like this. Well, no, it wasn't any more strange then some of the places she had seen since coming to Chaldea, but the fact that she was alone here exaggerated the sight of everything around her.

But then, she heard a voice calling to her, asking as gently as she could if she had somehow been transported here as well. Immediately, Abigail turned towards the source of the voice and discovered it was an older girl in some kind of cloak, some sort of outfit that didn't match the clothing of anyone else around her. Was she a Servant? She didn't seem like one, at least not one that Abigail recognized. After a moment, the small girl weakly nodded. This lady was trying to be nice, at least, and she was the only who seemed like she might know what was going on...

But then, everyone started running. When Abigail turned to see what they were running from, her blue eyes widened in shock and fear as she saw people falling to the ground, cut and wounded. Possibly dead... and... and two figures, both cloaked in darkness with blank red eyes. They were almost like those shadow Servants. Trembling slightly, Abigail shook her head. If her Master was here, she'd have jumped into action to try and protect the innocent bystanders! And Abigail herself didn't want to see innocent people get hurt like that either!

Glowing portals opened around her head immediately, and suddenly what appeared to be brilliant tendrils of light exploded from them. but before she could try and attack the shadowy one of them charged right for her!

Abigail immediately had the tendrils curve inwards, creating a barrier between herself and the woman's weapon in order to defend herself. She was a little more confident when it came to fighting, now, so she knew she could counter as soon as she blocked the bad lady!
