Status: Open

[She held on as tight as she could, but some unknown force pulled harder, and she'd lost her grip on Serph's hand. After a dizzying storm through the bright light, she'd fallen unconscious.

History seems to repeat itself. At least it did here, wherever she was.

Lying on the ground naked in fetal position, a young lady sleeps, blissfully unaware of where she is or her situation. Or is it really blissful? Every so often, her face distorts into discomfort, frowning and at times looking panicked.

If only her comrades were here to help.]

[It's mid month. It's the time of new arrivals.

Rinoa sticks around the plaza during this time, keeping an eye out for newcomers. Usually they're standing or staggering around, soaking wet and looking lost.

So imagine Rinoa's surprise when she nearly stumbles over a girl who's sleeping. On the ground. Naked.]

Ahh!

[Holy crap who comes here sleeping, let alone naked?!

Once her shock wears off, though, she's immediately running for a towel stand and grabbing a few of them. She hurries back and drapes two over the girl, one over her upper body and the other over her lower parts.

It's then, once she's more covered, that Rinoa shakes her shoulder gently.]

Hey. Hey, you okay?

[It's about the time of the month where newcomers start arriving, so Serph's spare time is spent being by the coral, waiting for them.

Waiting for his comrades to arrive.

... It seems his patience has been paying off.

He's by Sera's side in an instant, holding her up and giving her a small shake. Please wake up.]

[The warmth of the towels and the woman's voice causes Sera to stir. She parts her eyes and blinks a few times before meeting glances with the stranger.

Long dark hair...?]

Ahhhh!

[Had Angel found her? Her eyes haven't quite adjusted, so she scrambles on her knees, the towels falling from her form as she attempts to scoot away.]

Uhn...

[Sera blinks sleepily, looking around briefly before her glance darts to Serph. Is this real?]

S-Serph?

[... Well. That's unusual.

Stopping nearby the body, Tiir tilts his head to one side.]

Oh? That doesn't seem very comfortable...

[Yes, this is real! And this is Serph, looking relieved Sera's awake. Look, he even has a small smile on his face now that it seems like she's alright.

That whole being naked thing can wait for later.]

[It's really not. In real life or in the ignorance that comes with being unconscious. She stirs again, a soft whimper escaping her lips.]

Serph! [Sera smiles brightly and wraps her arms around his neck. Who cares about nudity? She has all that she needs at the moment!]

I was afraid you disappeared!

[Serph hugs her tightly. Of all the comrades who had yet to arrive in Vatheon, he worried about Sera most. She's the one who needed them most, after all.

But he doesn't talk about how worried he was; he's reassuring instead.]

It's alright. I'm here.

[The only thing more she could ask for would to see that everyone else was safe and sound as well. Even Heat, despite the fact that he still was capable of frightening her.

Serph's returning the gesture relieves her, and she nuzzles his shoulder.]

We made it to Nirvana, didn't we?

[Ah...

The smile falters slightly. He's glad she can't see it right now.]

This isn't Nirvana. Not everyone has arrived here yet.

[She picks her head up a little and glances at him with concern.]

Where are we?

Vatheon. A place that brings people from other worlds together.

[He offers her a reassuring smile, though.]

It's peaceful.

[Most of the time.]

[That... doesn't look too comfortable. Signless approaches quietly, and takes off his cloak. He uses it to cover the young woman, then sits beside her, leaning against the fountain.]

[She's never heard of it before. But it's a beautiful place; much brighter and livelier than Junkyard. She takes a look around from their current spot.]

It's so pretty.

[Half asleep, she stirs after the cloak is draped over her, whimpering softly.]

Serph?

[Serph nods; Vatheon is the prettiest place he's ever seen! ... Granted he only has the Junkyard for comparison but still! Let's get you onto your feet, though, so you can look at everything better.]

There's a beach here.

[Because that's clearly the most important thing!]

[Signless' ears perk forward at that.]

No, not Serph. But a friend. A member of the Tribe.

[That is pretty important! It sounds too good to be true.

Once she's standing, she wanders around a little, admiring the scenery and full of smiles. She turns to him when he mentions the beach, and steps back up to him.]

A real beach?

[The only tribe Sera knows is the Embryon. But she doesn't recognize the voice; maybe it's one of Serph's grunts or guards?

She opens her eyes and gets her first look at Signless, gasping softly. What kind of demon is he? Whatever the type, hopefully he's not hungry.]

[Signless smiles engagingly, taking care to keep his lips over his fangs.]

I won't hurt you. I'm a friend.

[Serph nods.]

A real beach.

[A pause, while his gaze goes to one of the nearby shops. He turns his attention back to Sera, and motions for her to follow his lead to it.]

I'll bring you there, after we get some clothes for you.

[It's not like he's bothered by Sera being naked. It's more that he knows sand gets everywhere. ... Also, Yukari has mentioned to him that being naked is indecent or something. And it'll also give him the opportunity to contact the other two.]

[He is so often hurrying around and about in Vatheon, but when he spies someone sleeping in the plaza, he stops.

And then he crouches next to her, hands tucked into his pockets.

...]

Miss...?

[Oh crap, she spooked her.]

Wait, it's okay! I'm not here to hurt you!

... Ah, well.

[It's indecent, so he probably shouldn't leave her like his.

He crouches down, speaking a bit more loudly.]

Wake up.
