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?]

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?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Hm... I'm not quite sure about that! I think I've seen a couple of people your age, but in general -- no, not really. Mostly teenagers and adults!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

How about babies?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Not quite sure about that, either! I haven't seen any around, so probably not...

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Ah, I found my boots. At this rate, we'll be done in no time.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Is there anything you wanted to do after we're done? Since we're almost finished!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Hmm... Who knows? What do you do for fun around here?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

There isn't much to do, admittedly. For the whole week here, I've just been relaxing at home and talking to the people that live around here. There's going out to eat for one, and the library is another.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

The library sounds like a good place. Do you read often, Minako-nee?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Back at home, I never really had that much time to read, but since I have a lot more of it now -- why not? Is it something you like in particular?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

It is! Knowledge is very important in my line of work.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Eeeeh? How old were you again, Loki-kun?
