( closed starter for @mochafururin​ ) For not the first (and he highly doubted, somehow, it would be the ‘last’ despite his inward hopes to stop being involved in confusing situations like this) time, he had awoken to NOT the last place he’d been standing: this wasn’t his apartment at all, but it didn’t look to be that bizarre and terrifying ‘other world’ of the gallery, either. W-what was that talk about a ‘dangerous beast’ that walked around here at night, though? He really didn’t want any part of that at all: he’d promised Ib he’d return her hanky to her, after all. Turning to the nearest person - who seemed like she was just as unnerved about being in a new place - he asked, timidly: “This....this isn’t all just some really realistic dream or something, is it? Is there any way out of this place back ‘home’...?” He really was just incredibly confused and unnerved about it all right now.

After that display and essentially - warning of what to expect every time he went to the forest of the floating island thanks to the exhausting shenanigans he and Strange had gotten themselves in yesterday: today now that he had rested and given his Mana a chance to recover: he had come in a little wiser and more ready. Before even going into the teleporter of the Civic Center this time: he’d powered up his spells with Planet’s Power in advance. That way as soon as he saw something off, he was already prepped and ready to fire off a high-powered spell to knock or put to sleep. As last time, he had landed in the forest. Had to make his way out and head to the town unlike last time, so he kept his guard up as he walked with careful, slow steps so as to not attract either bandits or one of the wild animals he’d heard before...
