Won't anyone come and soothe my pain?

[dualbladepaladin]

Who: Hubert Ozwell, OPEN
Where: Plaza
When: Late afternoon
Style: Fine with anything
Status: Open

Another new arrival, another person waterlogged in the plaza. Today it's a young man, no older than seventeen or eighteen, in a heavy uniform of some sort that might actually be familiar to a few people in Vatheon. There's a pair of glasses near by, having fallen off his face at some point, and a very large double-bladed staff weapon under his right hand as if he'd been holding on to it moments before.

There's a small problem, though.

He's unconscious. And not moving.

What do, Vatheonites?

[cheapshinigami]

[Gently touches his shoulder again, if he doesn't wake up, they he won't know what else to do to help. He just arrived here himself.] Boy?

[dualbladepaladin]

Hng...

[Slowly he stirs, groaning this time as he manages to open his eyes and stare in bleary confusion at the unfamiliar man.]

Hn?

[cheapshinigami]

Are you alright? I found you lying there on the floor unconscious. Can you move?

[Tries to look reassuring to the younger man.]

[dualbladepaladin]

I... think so...

[He sits up, fumbling about for his glasses, unable to see much more than the person in front of him at the moment.]

[cheapshinigami]

[Helps the young boy to sit up properly, and stays close in case he needs support.]

That's good to know. My name is Tatsumi Seiichiro, by the way.

[dualbladepaladin]

[Glasses back on, if not a little water spotted from being soaking wet, Hubert peers around the area in obvious confusion. He almost doesn't hear the person introduce himself.]

I-- .. oh. Hubert. Hubert Ozwell. .. what... is this place?

[cheapshinigami]

[Looks at the young boy, but unfortunately, his clothes are still damp, having just arrived himself not long ago. Yes, it does seem it's confusing to arrive in this place.]

Nice to meet you Ozwell-san. I've been told this place is called Vatheon. But I don't know much more about it yet. I'm on my way to finding a place to live in.

[dualbladepaladin]

I... see...

[Vatheon. Not any place in the world he's ever heard of, and most certainly not a place in Fodra. In fact if he's not mistaken it almost looks like... water beyond those clear walls.

Strange.

And a bit of a problem.]

Tell me, did I arrive here alone? Was there anyone with me at all? A young man named Asbel or a hyperactive woman named Pascal?

[cheapshinigami]

It is an unfamiliar place for me too. I just found you lying there, there was no one else around. Were they with you before you arrived to this place?

[dualbladepaladin]

Yes. Them and several others. But if they're not here...

[Well. He's not sure what that means, but it's troublesome to him none the less.]

[cheapshinigami]

[He nods, as he is in a similar situation himself.]

Yes, I see what you mean. But it's likely your friends aren't here. Or not yet. I was with several persons too, but it seems that only one of them is here. Maybe there's another one, but I haven't seen him yet.

[dualbladepaladin]

[Oh, who knows what kind of trouble they're getting in to without him? He can hardly stand to think of it!

But he does keep surprisingly calm, outwardly at least.]

Then I suppose there's nothing I can do at this time about it.

[cheapshinigami]

[Tatsumi would agree with his thoughts.]

Yes, hopefully you will find them. Or maybe it's better if they stay at home.

[dualbladepaladin]

... at this point, I'm honestly not sure which is the better option.

[cheapshinigami]

I understand. Let's hope for the best then.

[dualbladepaladin]

Yes.

[Though Hubert doesn't put much stock in simple optimism. He's not going to say anything about that.]

Well... now I'm not sure what to do about myself in this situation.

[cheapshinigami]

[He shrugs. He just asked himself the same thing a while short ago.]

Probably finding a place to live would be the best choice.

[dualbladepaladin]

I'm... not entirely sure how to go about something like that.

[He pretty much had everything in that sense provided for him back home. And when he wasn't with his parents he was with the military.]

[cheapshinigami]

I heard that there are several buildings in the lower and middle districts. Those are the third and second tiers of this place. And apparently we don't have to pay rent. [Which he doesn't understand at all.]

[dualbladepaladin]

Rent doesn't have to be paid? Odd... but fortuitous those of who have just arrived, I suppose.

Have you looked at these accommodations yourself?

[cheapshinigami]

Well, that is what I heard. I have to yet to see it for myself. I'm actually on my way to find a place to live. I was suggested to look at Yutopil appartments.

[dualbladepaladin]

Yutopil Apartments...

[Hubert files this information away quietly.]

I may have to investigate these apartments later. I want to see if I can locate my friends here first.

[cheapshinigami]

Yes, I understand. Well, I shall be on my way off then. I hope you'll find them soon.

[dualbladepaladin]

Yes, thank you.

[Hubert gives a curt bow and turns to leave the area]

[cheapshinigami]

Good luck, Ozwell-san. [He bows too and goes on his way.]
