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?]

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

1/2

[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...

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Kind of reminds me of someone I know back home! You look like you're about his age, and he often feels that way about his classmates too... If he were here, I'm sure you two would've gotten along!

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[A smart 10 year-old that isn't actually a god in disguise might be a refreshing change.

By the time they roll around to her house, Loki is ready to throw himself through the front door.]

So what type of people are your brother and his friend?

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

My brother doesn't talk much so it may take a bit of patience around him, but he's a good guy at heart! If you need anything, I'm sure he'll help you as well. And um... As for his friend, I've only known him for about a week! He's fun to be around though, but if you were to compare the two they're pretty contrasting! Feel free to make yourself at home! I'll be in the kitchen.

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

Pardon the intrusion.

[arcanaxxii.livejournal.com]

Hey, Loki! Is there anything in particular that you like to eat?

[minimonsterdad.livejournal.com]

[He driiiifts on toward the kitchen.]

Do you have anything sweet...?
