༺ Vuin ༻ Action

[respect_points47]

[So somebody left a dead body in the water today...

Well...not exactly, although it is understandable to think so when someone's under water for more than five minutes, unmoving, very roughed up (Cuts and bruises, mostly from her shoulders up. A great deal of them are on her face and back of her neck), only in her swimsuit and skirt, and so on.

Though if one waits before doing anything, every seven or so minutes she does come up for air...though easy to miss because she just barely floats up enough to do so before going back down.

(She can be found in any sort of water. The river, lake, or even the fountain if need be.)


Much later in the day though, after freaking out so many people, she can be seen wondering around the village with only a loose open shirt added to her outfit. She won't hesitate to stare straight at anybody walking by, or following anybody just to see where they are going. In fact she looks like she's just found a whole new world, and everything about it is very interesting.

Even the trees are making her smile.]

[generalflirt]

So ah... I can take it for fact that you're following me pretty closely, huh, Rikku-chan?

[ Just a little sheepishly. That was some performance, after all ]

[respect_points47]

Just following. [Well, she's been caught. And it's the truth.]

You know me? [She brightens up at that. Maybe this person knows more about her!]

[generalflirt]

[ ... Seriously ]

A...haha. I do, at that. Is that to say you don't know me, Rikku-chan?

[respect_points47]

Nope. [So blunt.] You don't look familiar...but nothing here does.

[generalflirt]

Doooo, you know who you are?

[ She had said something a little weird before, so he itches the back of his head briefly (wow, still wet. he bet he smells a little, sigh. He should go back to his apartment and shower actually...) and comes closer to her, so he can get up to a respectable talking distance to, well, talk.]

[respect_points47]

I know my name is Rikku...and apparently I had a blueprint hobby.

[And that's the most she's gotten so far.]

[generalflirt]

[ . . . . . .. .

Okay he's at a crossroads here. Does he try to take advantage of this, or be genuine. Oh sure, the moral part of himself says to make genuine, but (as Rikku might see) he's not in the best of shape, mentally. There is a weird look in the back of his eyes, almost a distant unawareness of the situation and despite working himself hard, he's seen some shit in that draft and it's still weighing on him. But.

But.

You know what, he's turning twenty soon, so fuck it, he's going to make a fabrication and see how far it goes. ]

Well, I can try to tell you about a few more things, Rikku-chan.

[respect_points47]

[She bounces happily at that. Finally! Someone that knows her!]

Really? Thank you!

[generalflirt]

Yes, really-! Though I don't know a lot about your backstory, I do know that you're from a very special people! It shows in your eyes!

[ She's so cute ]

[respect_points47]

My eyes? How do they show that? Are they a weird color?

[She can only tilt her head at that. She hasn't exactly had the time to look in a mirror yet.]

[generalflirt]

Actually, they've got spirals in them.

[ And he leans down - and leans in close to her, to get way up close to her face with his own ]

And they are very cute.

[respect_points47]

[That might've been awkward, but she remembers her wings, and turns to look at them.]

Neat! So they're like my wings?

[generalflirt]

[ Masaomi's wings are comparatively more exposed than normal now for the record. He has a light over shirt over them but they do awkwardly peek out a little. Florescent pink ]

Oooh- yeah, that seems to be the case. It matches well.

[respect_points47]

[She will look for his but...decide not to say anything. Nothing she can think of at the moment can make pink sound great, so-]

What else do you know about me??

[generalflirt]

Weeeelllll... I know even beyond blueprints, you're a mechanically minded individual, and I can say for a fact that you're also the sort of can manage many times of weather, given the attire I've often seen you in tends to air towards being light.

[ These things, at least, are true. You need to begin with truths before milking a deception ]

[respect_points47]

[This just makes her sigh. She's kinda really wanting her memory back now. And it's a little bit weird knowing that someone knows more about her than she does.

But she'll keep listening.]

[generalflirt]

Aaaand, I've actually been trying to pull out a bit of a romance with you. Mixed results, I must say-- ah, but that's a more selfish thing to clarify, isn't it?!

[respect_points47]

[And just how is she supposed to respond to that? She's just going to stare at him for a minute or two.]

...Why? [Why to the whole thing, really.]

[generalflirt]

I can't speak for your motivations.

[respect_points47]

[Not one of the why's she was asking for.]

Why me? [It's suddenly starting to suck not knowing anything about herself.]

[generalflirt]

Well, there's a number of reasons... but if you're putting me on the spot- [ He folds his arms behind his head ]

To start with, you're attractive enough I'm pretty sure I could have fallen in love just for that. But outside of that, Rikku-chan, you've also shown me a spunky personality - the sort of person who can keep up with me and every antic I've ever thrown at you. And hell, I've had to kept up with some other ones too. And on top of that, I know for a fact that between the two of us, the higher IQ is with the XX if you know what I mean.

[respect_points47]

I can't be that pretty... [That's hardest thing to believe at the moment with the way she's feeling. Especially with the cuts, bruises, and just feeling tired.

Just give her a moment to think about the rest. Because what she pretty much got from it is that she's a smart, hyper, troublemaker.]

[generalflirt]

No, no. You are.

[ And he gives her a wide, genuine smile. Because that, too, is not a lie. ]

You've had better days than today, but I get the feeling you aren't be blamed for that. It just makes me want to care for you.

[respect_points47]

I look that bad?

[Ouch. Because she does feel old enough take care of herself...]

[generalflirt]

You do look like you've seen better days, but that could just be that I'm not into the injured sorts.

Aren't you sore?
