༺ 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.]

[He brings one hand out from underneath his bag of groceries to scratch at his chin.]

You were looking around like you'd never seen Luceti before. I thought you were a New Feather.

[respect_points47]

I don't know what a New Feather is...and I haven't seen anything here before. That I can remember, but that's only because I've lost all my memories.

Or most of them. I remembered my name at least. [And she seems fairly fine with that fact.]

[fellpool]

[... ... ...

His lips part as the gravity of the situation settles on him.]

You don't remember anything about this place? Or of where you were before this?

[respect_points47]

Not a thing! Just what people have told me.

[Nope, she doesn't see this as horrible. Just getting woken up underwater was bad.]

[fellpool]

[She's so cheerful about it. Geez, it must be nice being so oblivious.]

W-- well. So you've been told some stuff about Luceti? That it's not quite as nice as it looks?

[respect_points47]

Just that I'm not in my own world, and I've been kidnapped to this one. I didn't get much more than that because he wanted to hit me on the head again to see if it would bring my memories back.

[fellpool]

I guess that's enough to hear on, er, your first day.

[Even if she wasn't a New Feather, this was basically her first day, wasn't it?]

So what's your name? I'm Leon. I'm a teacher at the school and a scientist.

[respect_points47]

It's Rikku. And...apparently I do something with blueprints.

[fellpool]

[Rikku. Yeah, definitely not familiar.]

...Blueprints? Of what?

[respect_points47]

...No idea. Some kind of machines from my world.

[fellpool]

[He blinks slowly, tilting his head to one side. Maybe it's a matter of particular blonds important to his life that inspire him to say what he does.]

Do you understand them? Maybe you were an engineer of some kind.

[respect_points47]

I don't know...I feel like I can make things. But I also feel like I could use a weapon.

[It's just something she can feel. It's a bit odd.]

[fellpool]

[Leon laughs shortly at that, ears flicking in a show of amusement.]

Fighting and engineering don't have to be mutually exclusive. One of my friends from home spent all her time tinkering on machines and designed a robot to help her fight.

[respect_points47]

[Oh, cat ears. She didn't notice them until now. But they make her smile.]

Maybe I can do something cool like that.

[fellpool]

[He notices the smile, but assumes it has something to do with the idea of tinkering on machines and such.]

Maybe. I guess you've got a lot of time to figure some things out. And who knows? Maybe your memory will come back really quickly.

[respect_points47]

[Keep thinking that. But everyonce and a while she'll go back to staring at those ears. She can't help it.]

I hope so...not knowing who I am is really creepy.

[fellpool]

[At least he's used to being stared at by now.]

You seemed pretty upbeat despite not remembering anything, just looking around the village. 'Seems likely that'd be a part of your original personality.

[respect_points47]

I hope so. Being happy and curious feels normalish to me. But I'd rather learn what I can do, and things I'm supposed to know. All I've gotten so far is that I'm great shape, can hold my breath for a really long time, and I'm good at swimming.

...Not the most important things.

[fellpool]

Sure they are. They're a start.

[He gestures a little bit to the village around them.]

Being curious is especially going to help you out right now; you'll be more willing to put yourself into new situations that could help with learning new things. Maybe you try out a video game and find out you're good at it -- you learn you're good at hand-eye coordination, picking up on situational rules... Or, you know, you can surmise you've probably played video games before.

[respect_points47]

One question though...what's a video game?

[fellpool]

[He blinks at the question, then grimaces. Way to jump right into the complicated stuff.]

...You probably haven't seen a TV yet, huh?

[respect_points47]

Nope. I've been outside almost all day.

[fellpool]

Well, they aren't really common in the village, but if you go to the rec center, there's a TV over there. You play video games on a TV.

[After situating himself, he points over towards the rec center on the other side of the road.]

...Actually, I'd suggest looking at the rec center just to see what kinds of things are there in general. There's lots of indoor entertainment there.

[respect_points47]

[...Yep. No memories officially sucks.]

I don't think I'll know how to do most things.

[fellpool]

...I could probably show you how to use some of 'em sometime. They're probably not among the most important things to worry about right now, though.

[He really should have just focused on the basic stuff.]

Do you even have a place where you're staying?
