1st Night [action]

[mythbuster]

[When Loki finally reaches the outskirts of Luceti, he's scratched up, hungry, tired, and above all, cranky.]

Damn you... Heim...

[And without further ado, he collapses.

How does one react to a child in New Feather garb lying motionless on the floor?]

But this means I'll fit right in!

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Of course! And if Nii-Nii ever bullies you, tell me and I'll be sure to beat him up for you!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Is Minako-nee strong? I'll be counting on you, then.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Strong? I wouldn't go as far as that; but I'll try my best not to let you down! Are you ready for another adventure, Loki-kun?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Yep!

To the clothing store, right?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Bingo!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Okay, lead the way, Captain.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

You're looking a little tired over there. You sure you want to do this now? I doubt your clothes will be going anywhere!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

It's okay, it's okay. I'd like to get them back as soon as possible, regardless.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Let's get to it then, soldier!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Are my clothes really in here...?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Yup! It took me a couple hours to find my stuff, but with the two of us here I'm sure it'll take no time at all!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Hopefully. In any case, we should be looking for a long, black coat, black boots, black shorts, a white dress shirt, and a white bow.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

... You do realise there are a lot of things that could fit that description, don't you? I'll just hold up whatever seems to fit it, then! Oh! If you had any other stuff back at home, like important belongings in particular, there's another store for those a block away from here. It's tons more organized, so we could head there afterwards!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

No, I didn't have anything but clothes. Everything important, I left at home. In that case, wouldn't it be easy to take other people's important possessions if they're left to the public?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

If they're important to you, they should be there anyway. That's how it was for me! They just... came along for the ride, it seems! That's what I thought at first too, but it seems everyone here is respectful enough not to take what isn't theirs.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

An effective honor code, eh? The people around here must be pretty nice, then.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Guess you could call it that! I think anyone would be understanding if you had to dig through these piles only to find out your stuff wasn't here to be pretty depressing. Were any of the things I sent over yours?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

The bow I was wearing at the time had a short checkered pattern on the bottom. But... Ah. This is mine!

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Great! That makes one down out of how many?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Five! But with your luck, it shouldn't take long.

The shoes should be easy, so I'll go look for those.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Luck doesn't last forever! Guess I'll looking for your shorts then! You said they were black?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Right. I suppose it doesn't matter if they're mine or not as long as they fit.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Hey! You never know, those pairs of shorts could belong to some other person in the village so we'd better be finding yours!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Good point.

Are there many other people my age around here?
