Game ??? [Action]

[neverplaysfair]

[ Joshua can be found wandering the village, or in his house if you're the intrusive sort. As weird as this is, it's actually comforting, since it feels very similar to Shibuya.

Repliku will be mostly trying to stick to the library or his house, since uh... wow there's a lot of people here and he is kind of not good with large groups.

Saten won't be found out in the village. She'll be sticking to inside of her apartment room during the day, or the roof of CH7 at night.

Arietta is just sort of overwhelmed. Even though she's seen large groups of people back home, seeing so many people in Luceti is really jarring, so she'll be wandering aimlessly. ]

Arietta

[mamaterasu]

[There are a lot of lost, scared kids around here, aren't there? That's a little worrisome, especially for a benevolent wolf goddess who literally cannot say no to helping people with their troubles in some way. She waits for there to be a break in the crowd before zipping over toward her with a spring in her step and a wagging tail.

Again, Ammy tries to keep her disposition playful and friendly, so as not to scare the small child any more than she is already. She sits down close to her, tilting her head to one side. Do you need a ride out of the crowd, pink-girl?]

Ammyyyyy *u*

[wildlittlegirl]

[ Why would she be scared? It's a monster, just like one from back home! Arietta immediately moves closer, her face instantly lighting up. ]

Hi there! I haven't seen you before. Did you come here with the big crowd of people?

`w` woof woof

[mamaterasu]

[Well! That's exactly the response Ammy was hoping for! She "smiles" in her unique canine way - with her tongue lolling out from between her teeth - and begins wagging her tail even more energetically than before. She leans close to Arietta, snuffling her gentle before looking up at her face with a tilted head.

Crowd? Hm...she's really not sure. This isn't Nippon, not even close to it, but she doesn't remember going anywhere else, especially with this large a group of people. Waka was the one piloting the Ark of Yamato to the celestial Plain. Unless he took a wrong turn or something, Ammy has no darn clue where she is or how she even got here in the first place.]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ So cute!

But Arietta, in her strange, never-explained-in-canon way, understands Ammy, at least a little bit. ]

There's a lot more people here than normal. Maybe you got here with them. There aren't many monsters here, but sometimes they show up. That might have happened to you!

[mamaterasu]

[Probably reading Ammy's body language and facial ticks and expressions - the wolf's mind is truly enigmatic, even to those that have known her for very long spans of time. Thankfully, the wolf is expressive enough to know how to get her point across. And, when that doesn't work, she always has the benefit of her tail as a brush and the world as her canvas.

As Ammy listens, though, she blinks a few times and tilts her head. Monsters? Isn't it good that there aren't many of those? She did defeat Yami back in Nippon, so monsters shouldn't be much of a problem anymore, but...this girl seems almost hopeful for them. How odd! She seems like a sweet girl. Though this is most definitely not Nippon, that's for sure. Ammy can tell that just by a quick sniff around. She just...doesn't know where she is, or how she got here. Last she remembers was she was stepping back onto the celestial Plain at last. Then she woke up here, in this new place with winged people who weren't the celestials she knows.]

[wildlittlegirl]

[ ... Why did she seem confused? Hm. Oh! ]

Um, this is Luceti. It's probably not your home. I'm from Auldrant, and this isn't my home either. I don't really understand how we got here, though.

Joshua

[dreammark]

[This one is wandering the village and pulling off flomotion tricks here and there. He stops though when he sees a familiar face.]

Joshua.

[neverplaysfair]

... Excuse me?

[ You did just say his name, yes? Joshua is pretty sure he's only spoken to you a few times and he doesn't recall any of them including introductions.

No, he doesn't think to check the wings right away. ]

[dreammark]

[Riku's used to dealing with different versions of people so while he's kinda surprised by the reaction, he's almost not too surprised at all.]

Ah, nevermind.

[With the wings gone, he looks like his dream self so younger than the Riku here.]

Sorry. I got you mixed up with someone else.

[neverplaysfair]

[ Yes but you think Joshua has been paying attention to tiny pictures on the journal of someone he barely knows enough to notice that? It's barely a blip on his radar that this guy looks like one of his next door neighbors, except for the hair. ]

... A different me?

Not sure how this will be but Arietta

[pokesavior]

[N sees Arietta wandering with little direction of where she was going in this crowd. She didn't want to be in this crowd, he can see that at least.

N uses Helping Hand.]

It's hard navigating through this crowd, isn't it?

We'll see!

[wildlittlegirl]

[ She looks up when she hears him talking. ]

Yes. I don't think I've seen so many people here before. I didn't think this many people would come here...

[pokesavior]

So this isn't normal, I see. I wish to get out of this crowd myself, but I'm afraid I'm not familiar enough with this place to know where I must go.

[wildlittlegirl]

You can go into the forest. Most people don't like it there, so I don't see people there very much.

Are you new here? I can show you where it is.

[ Arietta the village is surrounded by a forest it's not hard to find. ]

[pokesavior]

The forest...yes, that would be an ideal place to go. [A nod. Perhaps he can find some pokemon there to talk to as well. He knows there's one that he needs to contact at least.]

I did indeed just arrive, and I would appreciate the assistance. You may call me N, by the way.

Saten

[luminouslady]

[Even ensconced in her apartment hiding from the sunlight, there's no way someone like Saten would be able to miss the presence of Zoniha in the village. Although her power as the Elemental Knight of light has been diminished from what it once was thanks to Sthertoth's curse shattering a chunk of it and forcing her to reincarnate endlessly in mortal form, Zoniha is still Ukkri'ha dei Aenayu, the Purifying Light, and radiates the appropriate aura.

Right now, though, she's also just a mildly amused and confused bystander. One minute she was strolling the park in the middle of downtown Cerbera, the next she's here in this backwater place. Though suspicious and wary, she's not overly worried -- she's confident she can take whatever comes her way. Really, Zoniha looks quite relaxed exploring the village. It's almost like one of those historical recreations, it's so quaint. (Though what was up with the winged people?)]

B)

[first_darkness]

[ Something moving about, pushing quite a bit of darkness out of the way as it went? Hell yes she notices. It takes her a few minutes as she just observes, trying to get a handle on exactly what she's sensing.

Whatever it is, she doesn't like it.

It's not impossible that this strange, sudden flood of new people brought Yuhel or one of his angels here, and she's very wary of that possibility. So she finds a building with a large enough shadow nearby enough to whatever's causing the disturbance, and soon after she appears out of the shadow's darkness and looks around, trying to spot just what it is that's doing that. ]

[luminouslady]

[Zoniha quickly takes notice of Saten's presence as well, sensing that it's very, very similar to Regulus' own aura as the Elemental Knight of shadows. However, she keeps her reactions under wraps for the moment, instead looking for all the world as though she's simply admiring the Memory Garden.

Her first thought is that this is a shadow scion stalking her. But the aura is unusually strong for a scion, even for a...well...unusually-strong scion. It could be a darkling, she supposes, although the vast majority of those have been corrupted by Sthertoth, thus leaving a streak of chaos in their shadow auras -- something she doesn't sense coming from Saten.

With no definite conclusion to draw (other than the fact that something powerful is nearby), Zoniha bides her time, waiting for the other to make the first move. She enjoys a good confrontation, and sometimes she even likes starting them, but today she's not quite in the mood for it.]

[first_darkness]

[ It's not anyone she recognizes. Still, that means little. This woman could easily be an enemy. And there's absolutely no way she's just walking away and letting this person move about without being investigated.

Saten moves forward, getting within earshot but stopping before she's anywhere remotely within reach of this person. ]

What are you?

[luminouslady]

[At that, Zoniha can't help but smirk a little as she faces the other woman. She softens the expression by using a friendly, playful tone to respond, though.]

I could ask the same thing of you, you know.

Repliku

[godsent]

[After finding herself in Luceti somehow, Kyrie has found her way to the library. She's still not sure of what's going on, but...well. Luceti was a familiar place to her, having been here once or twice before, so she's willing to try to adjust again if it's a longer stay like before.

Except she can't reach this shelf to get a book she wants to investigate. So she turns her attention to someone nearby--maybe they could help her out? (Though, come to think of it, this person looks vaguely familiar...)]

Um, e-excuse me...

Legit made a 8D face when I saw this

[personafalsify]

[ Kohan was trying to find a drawing book he'd seen earlier, but it wasn't where it had been before. He was so caught up in trying to find it that he didn't even notice the person next to him until she spoke up. ]

Yeah? What's... [ And he trails off the moment he catches sight of her. It's been years since he last saw her, but somehow, she's managed to stick out in his memories even after all this time.

... Has she always been quite so small? ]

... Kyrie?

hee hee~

[godsent]

[For a moment, she's surprised too. She's met hundreds of different people before in the span of her long lifetime, but very rarely (until the times she spent in Luceti) did she meet them more than once or have them remember her. And the fact that he did, as she now recognizes him, is very different--she'd have thought anyone left here from before would have forgotten about someone like her by now.

And then Kyrie's positively beaming at this.]

Y--yes! Hello!! [oh my gosh oh my gosh] I didn't know you were still here...i-it's so nice to see you again!

[personafalsify]

[ ... She remembers him.

It's a relief, but at the same time, it's awkward. The last time she was here, he was a Heartless. And before that, he was human... but he was still going by Riku then. After all, the reason he'd come up with the name "Kohan" in the first place was because he didn't want her to worry about him turning into a Heartless.

... Being Riku again for a bit probably won't be that bad. ]

It's... nice to see you, too. It's been a while... [ Pause. ] Well, I guess I don't know how long it's been for you.

[godsent]

[That's right--as far as Kyrie was aware of, there is only one Riku and that would be you, as she had never met the (real) other Riku during her previous times here.]

It's...it feels like it's been a while, too. [Though, to her in her world, it felt like decades could pass and it wouldn't feel as long to her as it does to most other people.] Um, h-how have you been? Have you been doing okay here?
