༺ 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.]

That's good. I mean, if you've actually been here awhile and you have stuff somewhere, it would be better if you could remember where you used to live, but that ... would take awhile.

[Where would one even start with that?]

Did you get all your questions answered about where you can find food, clothing, and such?

[respect_points47]

I would go around asking about that, but I don't know how that would turn out.

[Some people might get annoyed/weirded out at a random girl asking if they think she lives near them.]

Yeah, food and clothes. But I don't know what kind of clothes I usually wear. [She's good at swimming, which is possibly the reason she woke up in a swimsuit and skirt. But she just put on a loose shirt so people might not stare.] I was told exploring is would be the best thing to do to find other places.

[fellpool]

There should be some maps in the Welcome Center that will help you get around, if you really intend to explore. It'd keep you busy for awhile; the enclosure isn't huge, but it'd take a few days to really hike around it.

[But on the topic of clothes...]

Er. Maybe you can "explore" the clothing shop, too.

[respect_points47]

Are there any interesting places in the woods? [Because really, that seems like the neatest place to explore!

And that remark gets her to look at her clothes, and back at him. Is it not normal to walk around like this? It's comfy...though she could use shoes.]

...Why?

[fellpool]

In the woods? I wouldn't say so, but I'm not really into taking long walks into the forest and such. There's two lakes, and you can follow the rivers over to them.

[When she asks the simple question about clothes, he lets out a small laugh.]

Well, you can't just wear the same thing every single day. You're gonna need something else to wear tomorrow.

[respect_points47]

Really? How big are the lakes?! [Ohyes, because she knows she's good at swimming, and it's quite fun.

But at that she gives an awkward laugh, along with a face that says 'whoops'.]

I didn't even think about that.

[fellpool]

They're pretty huge. I'm pretty sure I wouldn't be able to swim across either of them if I tried. If you're really into the water, you can go to the ocean sometime, too.

[He gives an awkward little smile to her laugh, but shrugs.]

You'll get the hang of things. Like I said, it's good that you're curious.

[respect_points47]

An ocean? [That sounds fuun.]

...Are there many things I can randomly find..?

[fellpool]

In the forest itself? Not really. The mountains, sure.

[Again he takes a moment to situate himself, and then points off in the direction of the mountains.]

There's a teleporter that'll take you to the middle of the mountains, if you don't want to walk all that way.

[respect_points47]

[She's going to start feeling bad about only being able to ask questions...]

...Teleporter?

[fellpool]

[It's a good thing that this is at least one thing that he doesn't feel bad explaining.]

It's a way to instantly transport a person across distances -- usually really long distances. Otherwise you'd be spending a significant amount of time hiking up the mountains to get to where the teleporter is.

[respect_points47]

That sounds a little dangerous... [Teleporting in her world isn't even normal...or has been thought of yet...]

[fellpool]

Increasing the speed at which you travel tends to be dangerous. If hiking can be dangerous by itself, so can flying or teleporting.

[Such were the risks of traveling.]

But I designed them and I've never heard of anyone having any trouble with them, so there's that.

[respect_points47]

[Big eyes. She may have no memories, but her inner tech geek is still there.]

How long did they take to make?

[fellpool]

[He tilts his head at her interest, then smiles.]

Several months. Most of the work was purely development and design -- figuring out the symbol combinations necessary to pull off the conceptual idea. Building the actual teleporters afterwards was pretty quick; there was a girl here who could "bend" earth, and she created the physical teleporters for me to put the symbols in.

[respect_points47]

[...Alright. Just because it sounds interesting, doesn't automatically think that it's understandable.

All she can do is tilt her head at the whole thing. She could ask SO many questions, she honestly just doesn't know where to start.

[fellpool]

[He laughs when he doesn't get an immediate response from Rikku, smiling broadly; his amusement even shows in how perked up his ears are at the moment.]

It's okay; suffice it to say that the teleporter is something I made with a specialty of mine. We can definitely talk about it once you've had more time to absorb Luceti.

[respect_points47]

[Kitty ears...And it's not funny man!]

Yeah...that's probably a good idea.
