o1 :: Arrival

[ action ]
I'm starting to think waking up in strange places every time I get seriously injured is becoming a pattern. Is this the second phase of the afterlife? Level 3?

[ Yuri put one hand on her hip, shifting her weight to the opposite. She was still in that little sundress thing, wings still new, back still sore, but based on her gait? She already looked like she thought she owned the damn place.

She reached up and scratched her head slightly with the hand that wasn't on her hip. God it felt weird without her headband. Maybe finding her headband should be her number one priority. Seriously, she never went around without that thing, it felt weird. No, no, she probably should figure out where she is.

Journal first? She hadn't even looked at that thing yet. She opened it up and after poking around a bit, she decided to make a post. While walking through town in just her little dress, because she really doesn't care that much. ]

It's cold out here and I have no idea what's going on.

[ The dullest look on the planet, because really, this is getting ridiculous and she misses her thigh highs. They're warmer than this. Not a second later, she's got a tone that sounds pretty damn commandery. ]

Someone explain.

[blinks... well, he's seen his family die time and time again so- ...he can believe this.]

Yeah it's not hard now that I think about it. But really, everyone here is living- so I'm assuming this Luceti place is capable of ...bringing people back. In any case, you need your clothes back!

So? Get moving. I don't know where we're going.

[ She smiles and crosses her arms, waiting. ]

...Didn't I just say I was new, you think I know?!

[a pause and then...]

Jeez, fine- I think it's over this way. [and he's walking.]

You're the one who kept saying we should go to the clothing store! If you don't know where you're going, I'm going the opposite way. [ Starts walking the other way. ]

[Turns around to see her going the opposite way?!]

Wh-...hey! I've been to the clothing store before, it's definitely not that way. I had to go there to get my step-mom's clothes back, c'mon!

Then why'd you say you don't know!?

I never said I don't know I said I think I do!

I said I didn't know where we were going and you said you were knew and asked if I thought you knew.

Sento-kun's kind of a moron.

Woooww! Okay okay okay! I was just saying I was new but- I know where it is!

Stop calling me Sento-kuuuuun!!

Then hurry up, Sento-kun. [ Starts heading in the direction he was before. ]

Tch.... [grumbles at that and then starts walking in the direction he was going before. IN SILENCE!!!]

[ Weird silence. She's just being nice, you know. ]

What? You're the one who complained about your parents giving you a weird name, I thought you'd prefer Sento-kun.

....Of course not.

I'm just pissed when other people confuse the kanji in my name but, it's inevitable I guess.

What was your name again?

[ She just remembered Sento, since that was what she'd decided on using. She might be a little nice to him though. ]

[oh god. He groaned and rubbed the back of his neck.]

Battler Ushiromiya.

Battler. I'll try to remember that, but if I get annoyed I might go back to calling you Sento-kun. [ A pause. ] By the way, I don't usually go by Nakamura, so Yuri or Yurippe is fine for you to call me. I don't really bother with a lot of formalities either. And thanks for offering to take me to the clothing store. [ She's freezing right now you have no idea, she's just holding it in. ;; ]

Oh? So you have no problems with me just jumping to Yuri instead of sticking with Yuri-san~? Okay okay, that sounds fine to me. Yurippe sounds kind of.... weird. So I'll just stick with your real name.

And no problem! I couldn't just leave you out here wandering around. You look pretty cold so, we better hurry up.

I'm going to call you Battler whether you like it or not, so I don't see why you can't call me Yuri. [ Ahead of Battler already. ] You hurry up then, I don't know where I'm going.

[Jeez! He frowns at that, and then starts to jog a bit so he's ahead of her again.]

Okay okay, Yuri. ....Ah, it's kind of weird dropping honorifics so suddenly. I was raised in a rich family so we were always taught to be super polite...

So? I came from a pretty well-to-do family too.

Oh did you? Looks like we have that in common.

My family was like... so rich we owned an island- apparently grandfather got gold from a witch. Yeah right though, that sounds so idiotic. I even met the so called witch...

[ Weren't they talking about being polite? Maybe this guy just needs some kind of outlet to talk about this.

Unless this is that thing that she said to save for later because it was a long story. Yuri figures they're walking anyway though, might as well keep talking while they do. ]

You're in another world and have wings on your back and a witch sounds idiotic?

[...Well when she put it like that....]

I guess... yeah it sounds silly when you say it like that. But you see, back in my world I had to be put in a game with a witch. Damn bitch, she said my family died magically- so how could I accept something like that?

Your family's dead? [ Her tone seems to have changed a little bit. She's a lot more serious now, anyway. ] What happened?

[Battler just keeps walking, but he glances over at her when she asks that. Then he sighs.]

Couldn't hide that one forever I guess... okay, you're going to have to just believe me on this one.

I went to this family conference of mine, it was my relatives and all these servants on an island. There was about eighteen of us. Before I knew it, they were all dropping like flies- every one of my family members were soon dying... being killed in ridiculous ways, like having a stake drilled into their heads... stuff that any normal human would do.

Before I knew it... it was like all of us had been killed but... at the same time it wasn't like that. A witch came before me and told me that she had done it with magic... I told her that was stupid and it was obviously a human who did it. I guess... if I could figure out that a human did it, it would... soften the blow, they they didn't just die magically. It was that and- I was promised my family would return back to me if I won this game with the witch.

Following so far?
