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?]

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?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Old enough that I find that to be a very rude question. My skills have nothing to do with my age, you know!

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

I meant in the way of legalities! I wasn't doubting your skills or anything!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

You would be one of the first. As far as legalities go, I'm self-employed, so there shouldn't be any problem.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

It's not good to underestimate! You're just as capable as anyone else.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Right? If only everyone were as understanding as you, Minako-nee.

These are my shorts! You must have a talent for finding clothes, Minako-nee.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

You sure are quite the flatterer! I wouldn't go that far, but thank you Loki-kun.

I guess that's what you get for spending your youth in a mall. The Malnosso just had to make things more difficult, didn't they? At the very least, they could've kept your clothing in a set! Wonder how many worlds this stuff comes from?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

That would depend on what you mean by "world".

Are you familiar with the different theories of parallel universes? There's one stating that space is so infinitely large that there are an infinite number of planets just like our own. And since there are an infinite number of them, the events that play out can be identical, or nearly so, or their histories can branch out at some pivotal point.

By this definition, we would all come from the same single universe, and thus the same "world". Maybe we're all just aliens that have been gathered to this one planet, and all of the clothes here are of extraterrestrial fashion. Wouldn't that be interesting?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

I have heard of theories alike to the one you've just stated, but I can't say I know a whole lot about it. Just bits and pieces here and there.

Is this something you like to study in particular, Loki-kun? You're rather knowledgeable.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Ehehe, you think? I'm most interested in history and mythology!

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Oh! That's one thing I'm quite knowledgeable in. You're named after the Norse God Loki, am I right?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

So you've heard of him! It's a good name, isn't it?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Mhm! It's a cute name, though I can't say you've lived up to it.
