Falling | Open
The sound of footsteps behind him began to fade as Yejun ran at top speed. He was running out of breath, but that didn't matter. He couldn't slow down for a second if he wanted to get away. One of his remarks had gotten him in trouble again, and now he needed to get away from the people he had pissed off. He slipped into a path that lead him straight to the park. He could hear the gang shouting behind him, so he ducked into the trees as he ran. The cover helped, and he backed away as the group of senior boys ran past him. Suddenly, he lost his footing and fell backwards. Rolling down a hill, his school uniform was torn by sticks and small rocks that he went over.
At the bottom of the hill, he landed in a mass of water, sinking to the bottom. He quickly swam to the surface, crawling onto the river's shore. The boy rolled onto his back and layed there catching his breath. The blonde wiped the water from his eyes and squinted up. The sun shown brightly through the branches of a cherry blossom tree. His eyebrows furrowed as he sat up and looked around. he didn't remember this part of the park being there before. It was a huge clearing are, filled with cherry blossom trees that surrounded the river's edge.

Jinki squawked as water hit him, making him look up and around from where he was at the edge of the water. He ruffled his feathers to dry them a little, tilting his head at the person who had just crawled out of the river. He definitely had not been there before, that much was for sure. He blinked, watching him in confusion. Where had the boy come from?

Yejun rubbed his eyes. Between the water and the sun, they kind of hurt. He figured he had just floated a lot farther down river, and was in a part of the park he hadn't seen before. He looked up the bank and saw something he definitely hadn't seen before. A huge bird that was staring at him. the teen started scooting away slowly, a little afraid that it might attack if he moved too fast.

Jinki blinked again, confused that he was scooting away. There wasn't much Jinki could do if he wanted to to hurt someone. He hopped a little closer to the boy, wanting a closer look at him. He looked rather curious, strange in a way, as if he didn't belong here. That was when it hit the Phoenix; the boy was a human. He had to be.

The boy was about to yelp when the bird starting coming closer. As soon as it started to hop, Yejun scrambled to his feet and backed away more, holding his hands defensively in front of him. "Umm, it's okay birdy, stay there," he tried to make his voice sound sweet as he talked to the animal. The last thing he wanted was his eyes pecked out in the middle of the park.

-Birdy? I'm a Phoenix, thanks...- he retorted quietly in mind-speech, ruffling his feathers. -Besides, I'm not going to peck out your eyes and eat them. I just want to know how a human got into this world...- Jinki was, at the very least, a very very curious bird.

Re: Falling | Open
Yejun screamed and flailed, falling back when the voice was suddenly in his head. That had never happened before with an animal. And what the hell was a phoenix!? Weren't they supposed to be all red and fiery? "W-What are you.....don't get closer to me!" the teen was a little scared to say the least. He was talking to a bird after all. They weren't supposed to talk back!

Re: Falling | Open
Jinki was quite taken aback at the scream. Most humans would be happy to have stumbled into a world that made all their fairy-tales come true, or at least that's what he was told. -...I just said I'm a Phoenix...- he answered, blinking and staying where he was. He decided against changing forms, figuring it would scare the boy further; that could prove to be dangerous.

"I-I meant what the hell are you talking about?!" Yejun had an urge to hide behind something, but there wasn't anything close by. And, as scared as he was, he was extremely curious. He always read fairy tales because his textbooks were boring, but he never expected any of it to be real.

Jinki tilted his head slightly. -What do you mean, what am I talking about? he asked, answering the boy's question with another question. He couldn't help it; the kid was confusing. How could he not know what he meant? It wasn't like he was something else. A Phoenix was a Phoenix.

"I mean, where the hell am I?! And why am I arguing with a bird?!" Yejun stood back up, looking around. He almost wanted to run, but didn't even know where to go. so he stayed put.

He whistled a laugh. You're in Wonderland, of course. Where else would you be? he answered, shifting into his human form so he could communicate better. Jinki smiled a bit, sitting himself cross-legged on the ground.

The expression on his face could probably resemble horrified. Yejun could easily say he wasn't expecting the bird-man-thing to change in front of him like that. "W-Wonderland? Like, Alice in Wonderland?" he had to clarify. He'd read the stories and seen all of the movies, even the horror ones, about 'Alice in Wonderland' but never thought of it as real, even when he wanted to.

Re: Falling | Open
He blinked, staring at the boy for a few minutes, trying to comprehend his question. He answered it with one of his own. "...you know about Alice...?" he asked, the question coming out in more of a whisper than he would have liked. Everyone here knew Alice's name, and all the things she had supposedly done, but no one really knew if she was real.

Yejun blinked for a moment at the man's words. Alice in Wonderland was one of the most popular stories, almost everyone knew about it. "I know the stories about Alice if that was what you meant..." his eyebrows furrowed. This guy couldn't mean that this place was the actual Wonderland that was in the stories. It was impossible...

He smiled a little, a happy look in his eyes. "...stories? Humans have those...? Like, books and stuff like that?" he asked eagerly. Jinki had always wanted to be able to find an actual record of some sort of Alice, much more than he wanted almost anything else.

Yejun just blinked at the man in front of him for a moment. "Well, yeah. What else?" Where books non-existent here or something? "There are all sorts of depictions of stories, including Alice in Wonderland. You've never heard them?" he questioned. There was no way that someone didn't know the stories. But with how excited this guy got, it almost worried the teen.

"...we don't have anything about her except for myths...legends...and the Castle, but I don't think that counts..." he said, shaking his head. "...I'm sorry...it's just...there's literally nothing written about her here. Alice is the reason we can all live peacefully on our own, without worrying about hiding what we are from humans."

Re: Falling | Open
Yejun scratched his head as he thought. It was like this guy didn't have both oars in the water, but still made sense. The teen was confused to say the least. "But the stories about Alice are just that, stories. Fairy tales that parents read to their kids, and movie directors exploit for profit," Yejun explained. He loved the tales of Alice, among other types of folklore and myth, but that didn't mean he believed it all. "Wait, if she is so important to you, how are there no history books if she really existed?"

"They can't be fairytales..." he mumbled, frowning a little. Jinki sighed, shaking his head. "All of the most important books and records are kept in the White Queen's Castle. If there was something written about Alice, then that's where it would be...but almost no one can get into the Castle. It's not allowed."

"Why not?" Yejun tilted his head. It didn't make sense to hide something so important to everyone from them. "Why would they hide that stuff from you, if the stories are such a big deal?"

Jinki sighed. "...I really don't know..." he mumbled, frowning a little. The human did have a good point; if it was important, why hide it? Something clicked in his thoughts. "...perhaps...to keep it safe?" he ventured.

Yejun scratched his head, realizing that it was starting to become dry now from his fall in the river. "Safe from what?" none of what the man said made any sense. Sure governments kept their secrets. But huge events, like what Alice seemed to be here, where still decently known by the general public.

"The hands of small children, I would say," he answered, laughing a little. "Kind of like how humans keep old, important documents hidden away so they don't fall apart from use. I think." Jinki smiled. "...anyways...um...are you okay? You look like you went for a roll in the mud..."

"Even if there are old documents like that, the originals are copied so that people could read them," Yejun thought out loud. This place was seeming weirder than he thought if they didn't have technologies and books like back home. And even keeping the history locked away so no one knew about it. He looked down at himself at the stranger's words and frowned deeply. "I feel like I went rolling in the mud..."
