The shouting of a man pulled Arielle out of her head, and made her sit up with a jolt. She hadn't noticed before but there were a couple of other women and one very upset man that appeared to be trying to pray and hold back tears at the same time. She let out a sigh of frustration and looked at the room around her. It was clearly a normal apartment, and she could even see Tokyo outside. 'Best focus on the present. I'm sure there is a logical explanation for this, but for now I need to focus on getting out of this mess' She thought to herself
"You know that isn't going to help anything, right?" She said to the man kissing the carpet "Whichever god your praying to obviously doesn't care since he/she let you get into this." She paused for a moment to let her point sink in
"It looks like we were all kidnapped" She said thoughtfully "So you have two choices. Either keep asking the floor to forgive you, or get up and help me figure out what is going on and better yet how so save our own asses."
Arielle stood up and stretched her limbs, popping several joints loudly in the process. She turned to the other girls and said
"well at least you all have some common sense. I'm going to check out the doors and windows, maybe they can be broken. If you guys could check the other rooms we might find something useful."
Turning her attention to the front door she reached for the door handle, but was stopped a few inches from the door. Perplexed she tried again, this time running her hand up and down the invisible blockade. 'Some kind of condensed energy that appears to have no light variations' she thought in confusion. After trying the windows and getting the same results she leaned against the wall and thought to herself, pondering the implications of her discovery.
