[OLD] First Mirror [Action/Video]

[ominousmirror]

[Good evening Luceti, have a very upset looking Kagami. She's just arrived in Luceti but she's looking... well, rather drenched. In fact some of the water from her hair is dripping on to the journal occasionally.

But it's cold enough as is, so she's really starting to feel it, shivering away as she speaks.]

A-Alright! Who's b-big idea was this! [The journal had been fairly simple to figure out and she's already got a pretty good feel for the basics, suggesting she's maybe already been here for an hour or so.] Y-You could have at least ch-chosen a better spot t-to dump me in! [She did not appreciate the choice of the fountain one bit.]

[She lets out a big sigh and pulls herself together.] I n-notice that there's a lot of p-people who use this network. [Judging by the previous entries she had briefly scrolled through at least.] S-So would anyone care to tell me w-what exactly is going on here?

[For one thing she's been dumped into the fountain of a strange village, and secondly she has wings for god sake.]

Like, what a-am I supposed to be doing here? I wasn't exactly g-given much d-direction y'know... [She sneezes, rubbing her nose afterward. It's crude, but hopefully the message will get someones attention.

Alternatively, anyone passing by the fountain tonight might notice the dripping new feather, sat against the fountain, experimenting and fiddling with her journal. She'll be trying her best to keep warm but a soggy sundress isn't the best choice of wardrobe for the middle of winter.]

[She'll be avoiding those looks, in fact if she catches him she'll probably blush and look the other way!]

That's why I'm confused, the journal showed me a lot of colourful people so why would you wanna bring someone l-like me here?

Whoever this organization is, their wasting mine and their own time if you ask me.

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

Maybe it was just bad luck on your part. There's some other normal people around here, too.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

Bad luck, huh? Figures...

So would you be one of these "normal" people then?

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

Yup! Just your average friendly neighborhood mage!

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

M-Mage?! [How can he say that so casually?!] You mean like a magician? Magic tricks, right?!

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

That's exactly it. But I can do much more than pull a rabbit out of my hat or know what card you're holding without looking at it.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

[She should probably start getting used to this sort of crazy...] So like what else?

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

I can negate the very existance of magic itself.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

[Welp.] Oh, very funny. Yeah sure I can do that too.

See? Look? No magic here.

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

You'll have to see me in action someday. If I make your heart skip a beat, then I wouldn't blame you.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

Yeah... right, whatever. [He lost her already.] So where are we going exactly?

I mean as much as I love chatting with you I'm not exactly keen on being lead around like this. [She honestly has to wonder whether he'll pick up on the sarcasm or not.]

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

[Slight chuckle. He does catch the sarcasm, but he doesn't care about it.] I'm taking you to the Welcome Center. That's where all newbies go whenever they show up here.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

Wow, I guess this place must be pretty prepared for this sort of thing.

Couldn't you just send me in the right direction? I can find it myself.

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

No way. You would get lost too easily.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

And the hell makes you say that?!

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

Because I'm a man and I'm good with directions.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

[Oh hell no.] Like it even matters! And if you're even gonna think about speaking to me like that then I can just go find it myself! [Jerk!]

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

Lighten up, lighten up. I was just kidding around. No need to get defensive.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

[Oh come on!] Hmph...

Whatever... [She'll keep walking with him, but she's going to try and ignore anything he says.]

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

[Whenever they finally reach the Welcome Center, he'll open the door for her. It's a pretty homely place!]

I can get you a towel and you can sit by the fireplace. Then I'll do my best to explain everything to you.

[Action] Jesus, you're always so quick D:

[ominousmirror]

[She'd already gotten a pretty good idea of the situation here from the journals, and at this point she was pretty keen to get rid of him.

But at the same time she wasn't too keen on being left on her own right now, even though she'd never admit it. So she'll just nod and go and sit down. Warming her hands on the fire.]

[Action] It's just good timing |Db

[cuethemasong]

[And after some time, he'll drape a purple towel on her shoulders. Also he'll have a cup of hot chocolate for her.]

Drink it while it's hot.

[Action] It's magic is what it is D:<

[ominousmirror]

[She'll take it with both hands so she can warm up some more. She'll ignore the towel, at least it's not his coat again.]

Thanks, I guess.

[After a long sip she'll stare into the fire for a moment.] So let's get this other with then.

[Action]

[cuethemasong]

[Flops beside her. This would be more romantic if they weren't talking about Luceti.]

Do you want the long version or the short version? I'm better with straight-to-the point explainations.

[Action]

[ominousmirror]

Like I said, let's just get it over with. So the short version I guess. [She's pretty much just humouring him now... Or maybe it's that she doesn't want him to leave yet.]
