[color=royalblue]"...Ugh."[/color] Ando rubbed his temples as he staggered to his feet. What happened exactly? He remembered the locker room, the team captain throwing a punch at him, and then... the bright golden ring! And then... falling, a lot of falling, and a lot of swirling colors, like a rainbow tunnel? Hard to describe, hard to think. Now there were voices, obnoxious-sounding voices that sounded like they belonged to a handful of annoying people. He pinched the bridge of his nose a moment, trying his hardest to block out the distractions so he could hear himself think.

[color=royalblue][i]Is this some kind of nature park?[/i][/color] Ando's first instinct was to retrieve his cellphone from the backpack that had fallen through the ring with him. He flipped it open, and it still turned on. Cell service? [color=royalblue][i]Nothing?[/i][/color] He shut the phone off, clearly it wasn't going to be of any help right now. That meant the only thing left to do was at least get his bearings. Ando looked up, wanting to figure out the sun's position so he could least figure out which way North was. Once he had a decent enough idea of that, he decided to take better stalk of the surroundings.

A clearing in some woods? Wait, woods? Was this part of a park or was it outside the city limits? Either way, this meant he pretty far from his district, which would only mean he was going to be late getting back. That was just wonderful. His father didn't tolerate tardiness, or anything really that wasn't exactly on schedule. He was a perfectionist like that, which meant that Ando was in for some fiery lecturing when he got home. And still the voices of these strangers was irritating him. Finally he looked in their direction, unable to stop himself glaring at them as if shooting daggers out of his eyes.

He didn't stay anything yet. His glare was focused primarily on the bickering young women, who were proving to be the most annoying of the bunch right now. Then he just shook his head, [color=royalblue]"Use your heads for something other headbutting each other."[/color] his tone was snappy, and he obviously sounded like he was in no mood to deal with anyone and their annoying quirks, [color=royalblue]"There's no cell service. I'm guessing that means we're all equally far away from where we're supposed to be. Honestly all it takes is a moment to check your surroundings you could have figured that out for yourselves."[/color] he rubbed his temples, as if this was physically giving him a headache. It was like he'd died and ended up in his own personal hell or something.

No... The only way this would be Hell is if he were locked in his father's office and chained to a desk with him standing over Ando like a demonic taskmaster. But whatever this was, he needed to figure out how to reverse it. Which meant he was stuck for now, and stuck with these... people, by the looks of it. [color=royalblue]"How vexing."[/color]
