Who: Rin Okumura, OPEN
When: February 4th
Where: The Plaza
Style: I'll start prose but I'm fine with either
Status: Oooopen~

New arrivals weren't an uncommon sight in Vatheon. Neither were soaking wet, unconscious new arrivals. But wet, asleep new arrivals? That might be a little more odd.

And that was what was on the floor of the plaza. A soaking wet half demon sprawled out under an equally soaking wet comforter, fluffy-tipped tail curled over his chest, mouth open as he snores.

He has no idea that he's no longer in his bed at the True Cross Academy dormitory.

Dare you wake him?

You were in my way, so I moved you. If you wanna talk, keep up! These are heavy. [And on he keeps walking. Sola's world is pretty narrow.]

... e-ehhh?!

[this makes no sense! But Rin really doesn't have much of a choice if he wants to find out what's going on, does he?

Grumbling, he grabs the long red case that was next to him under the blanket and the blanket itself, dragging it behind himself as he follows]

Are you new? [Sola shifts the boxes a bit as he walks, trying to find a more comfortable way to carry them.] What are you? How come you have a tail? What's your name?

... that's a lot of questions. Shouldn't I be asking questions?

[he huffs, balling his wet blanket up in his arms]

Nevermind.

Rin. Rin Okumura.

[he avoids the question about the tail for now]

D'you need help with those?

I can do it. It's only another block. [He shifts them again a bit, favoring his left arm.] My name's Sola. I'm from Hyrule, but this is Vatheon.

... eh? Hyrule? Vatheon?

[why did either of those sound like something out of a video game?

But he's... kind of starting to get it?]

... so. Probably never heard of True Cross Academy then, huh?

Nope! Is that where you're from?

... kinda. It's a long story.

[he turns around and starts walking backwards, looking around at the area he's in.]

Th' hell kinda place is this, anyway?

[Sola starts to recite as he walks; this seems to be something he's memorized.]

Vatheon is a city under the ocean where a whole bunch of people get pulled from different worlds and we don't know why but we can't leave. Everything's free if you show the locals your mark, though, and we have to touch the coral or else we'll fall asleep.

[At that last part he looks a bit worried, but pay it no mind. It's just that one of his friends is in a coma, though if it's from not touching the coral Sola can't say.]

[And Rin actually pays attention to this little explanation, though it doesn't exactly leave him any less confused.]

... I'unno what to say to that... this is messed up...

Maybe for some people, but I'd be dead if I wasn't here.

[Finally he stops walking and plops the two boxes in front of a small cafe. He'd been delivering groceries. After a brief exchange during which he receives some odd shaped tokens from one of the employees, Sola returns to Rin.]

Phew, okay, now I can concentrate on you better.

[Rin watches him, curious but not overly obvious about it. The comment catches him off guard a bit, but he's not going to question it right then. Things are weird enough as it is...]

... er... anyway I can get some clothes or something... ?

Oh, there's stores everywhere. [He waves his hand around the plaza vaguely. There are a few boutiques and shops scattered around in easy distance.]

You just need to show them this mark. [Sola holds up his left hand, the one he'd been waving with, and points to the mark on the back of it.] They'll give you anything you want.

[Rin blinks at the mark, about to say he doesn't have one, but he looks at his own hand first and realizes that there is a mark there after all.]

... oh.

[Sola waits a few beats before cocking an eyebrow at Rin.] Aren't you gonna go get clothes? [This guy is definitely weird.]

Huh? Oh. Yeah.

[give him a break, Sola. He's just had his whole world pulled out from under him.]

[A break? Sorry, but Rin's interacting with a guy that's got the emotional maturity of a grade schooler.] ...are you okay? You look like you're gonna cry.

Oi! I ain't gonna cry!

[and Rin has all the subtlety of a hammer to the face.

This is going to be an interesting relationship.]

It's okay if you have to. I guess being shoved somewhere unexpected is scary. [He just shrugs and starts to walk back towards the center of the plaza, uncaring as to if Rin follows or not.]

I'm NOT gonna cry! I'm pissed off!

[Sola just shrugs and starts back on his way. He still has another few boxes to deliver, after all, and he's not this weird angry kid's babysitter. Besides, he'd learned a little bit about the virtues of staying away from pissed off people after Vegeta had broken his arm for no reason.

Sorry Rin, you're on your own! Unless, of course, you want to follow...]
