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?]

Ah! You're alive!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[That answers his question, at least.]

Hey, who're you?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Are you okay? Can you stand? You aren't hurt, are you? Oh! I'm Minako -- and you?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Minako? What a pretty name! Mine is Loki.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you, Loki! Um... Would you like me to carry you to the clinic...?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[Tempting. Very tempting, but...

grrrrroowl

... his stomach is crying.]

Maybe a restaurant would be better.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

My house, then? I could cook something up for you, and you could get cleaned up or something while there.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Your house?!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Is that proper? I guess the rules are changing nowadays... [mumble mumble]

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

... Eh? My brother and his friend should be home as well - I'm sure they wouldn't mind.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Is that right? [Phew.]

Then I humbly accept.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Can you walk? It's quite a distance away from here, so...

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

I'll manage. [He still has his pride as a man, after all.] Just lead the way.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

If anything's wrong, don't hesitate to tell me, all right?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Right, right... [Though when she's not looking, he'll just be making this face.]

So how long have you been living here, Miss Minako?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Just a little over a week! But I have met some people who have already been here for two years. I don't know much about this place admittedly -- but I can try answering any questions you have to the best of my ability!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[Questions, questions. There isn't much that the book hasn't answered for him. Though there is one...]

Have you seen a purple-haired boy around? He looks about my age and goes by "Higashiyama Kazumi".

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Hm... I don't think so, but you could try broadcasting to the network. If he's here, I'm sure he'll send you a reply!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[... Is she okay, taking that long to remember a name?]

I'd rather not see him right now. How about a man named Freyr? [He pronounces it "Frey".] He looks like an idiot.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Can't say I've seen him anywhere either, or heard of him.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[An idiot is an idiot is an idiot.]

Strange... Oh well. I won't complain.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

This world seems to randomly drag in whoever it wants to, so... You might encounter people you know, or you might not. The chances are pretty much even.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

What a troublesome place. To think a world like this existed... [It's alarming, to say the least.]

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

You seem pretty calm about things -- you're a lot more mature than you look.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

You think? Sometimes, I do feel a little ahead of my peers...
