Arrival

[shortstature]

Who: Yata and You
Where: Around the city, near the coral
When: July 24th
What: Yata finds himself in a strange world (and possibly finds a few familiar faces)
Style: Brackets to start, will match if you're more comfortable with another style. Brackets are just what I'm most comfortable with.



[Having awoken in a very strange place, Yata makes his way out into the city. It looks normal enough to him, but it still leaves him with an uneasy feeling. He didn't want to be away from home or his beloved Homra, not to mention he 'd been in the middle of something incredibly important when he went and found himself here.There are lots of things going on in his mind as he explores the city, and he knows he'd do Homra no justice doing something stupid in a place he knew very little about. He was really just trying to gather his thoughts. As tough as he acted and usually was, he isn't a whole lot more than a lost puppy at the moment- an ill tempered puppy at that.  It isn't even the fact that he was separated from his friends; he's more upset about not being there when he was actually needed.  That's honestly what's troubling him the most.]

I bet this has something to do with that bastard king or the shitty Blues...

[He seems agitated, mumbling to himself as he walks toward what looks like (to him at least, but he could be wrong) the center of the city. There was a really grand display of coral there. This intrigued him, as he had enjoyed the ocean the few times he'd gone, so he went to take a closer look. The coral was a pretty blue, but Yata would have preferred it if it had been red. his attention on the coral, he notices a person in his path a bit too late, accidentally bumping into them. He nearly falls over himself, but quickly regains his composure and asks after the other person. His usual bad temper is amusingly replaced with a visibly flustered teenaged boy. His cheeks are even turning pink.]

Oi, I'm sorry, I'm such a klutz, I should watch where I'm going...

Comments

[aprettyred]

Misaki should.

[ Well, this person might not have been actually accidentally bumped into. Anna recognizes her clansmen, and if Yata looks around a little, there is a familiar round sign hanging at one of the buildings. ]

[shortstature]

...Anna?

[Well that was a face he wasn't expecting to see here. If she was here, did that mean she was alone? Poor kid....wait...]

The bar's here?

[Yep, when he turns around, he sees a very familiar round sign hanging on one of the buildings. And he didn't notice it before? He really had to work on being more attentive..]

[aprettyred]

Yes. And Mikoto and Tatara and Eric.

[ Anna reaches out and catches his sleeve. Come along, Misaki, the bar waits. ]

Izumo made it look right.

[shortstature]

[Yata chuckles and follows her as she tugs his sleeve.]

Alright, alright...I'm coming, Anna...

[preciousmemories]

[Last month Eric had shown up, and now Yata too? How many others will show up here, now that Izumo's left... It's still only HOMRA and Shiro, ever since Kuroh left, but he's not really going to complain about seeing his friends. Especially not since he's from that night.

A flustered Yata is kind of amusing though, since he hasn't recognized him yet. Really, didn't the camera give it away?]

Shouldn't you be used to watching where you're going, Yata? What if you ran into something on your skateboard?

[He's totally recording this, just to show people later. Yata's reaction should be more interesting than Eric's.]

[shortstature]

[Honestly the first thought that had run through his mind after recognizing who he was talking to was that he'd died in the battle with Scepter4 somehow and this was supposed to be some kind of heaven, but that didn't make any more sense to him than being taken to a new world did. There isn't so much shock on his face as there is numb confusion.]

So what's happened, Mr. Totsuka? Is this...Heaven or something?

[He gives an affectionate half grin at the camera, put slightly in a better mood for seeing it.]

So you're still recording things even in a place like this? I gotta give you props for your optimism.

[preciousmemories]

[What's with his fellow clansmen and thinking they're dead or were dying when they see him? There's got to be other explanations for why he's there, right?

...They better not have actually died. Losing King and himself was enough. Losing him had been enough, but King was still stubborn apparently. Stubborn enough not to listen.

He shrugs.]

A lot. You're a little late for your birthday, you know. And you better not have died. Not everyone here is dead, and I wouldn't call Vatheon Heaven. This place is...strange.

[Technically he hasn't died yet; he arrived with the bullet wound and got treated fast enough thanks to the coral. But that's really not that important; everyone he's met from their world knows he's dead.

Of course he's recording still. There was a curse recently where they had to cuddle to get warm again, and King had been affected. Well, all three of them had been, but King was the most annoyed. Why wouldn't he be recording things?]

The memories here should be remembered too.

[shortstature]

No, I don't think I died...

[Well, Yata definitely doesn't remember getting injured bad enough to die, but would he? However, what Totsuka is saying makes more sense than anything, according to his own memories. The last thing he could remember was that damn traitor telling him Mikoto-san wasn't going to make it. He'd been sure Saruhiko had been talking about the Red King, too.]

My birthday? Eh? You're worried about that?

[Was it around his birthday here? So he was 20 now, huh...]

Next thing I know you'll be wanting th throw me a party.

[apersonjustforme]

[Chii tilted her head, she hadn't expected to literally bump into anyone while she was out wandering, but she is noting the fact he apologized when he did. Did that mean she was meant to say sorry to. Bowing slightly, she knew what she was doing at least.]

Chii is sorry as well, Chii was not paying attention.

[That seemed about right.]

[shortstature]

[Oh no, he'd almost knocked down a girl. How embarrassing. He's even blushing a bit.]

S-sorry again...I-I'm Misaki Yata but you can call me Yata!

[Well, he'd managed to introduce himself at least. He's a bit shy around girls. Just...a bit.]

[apersonjustforme]

[She stood up straight. So when one knocks one over and vice versa, so she believed, they are meant to give their names. Chii understood this well enough, at least she assumes anyway.]

Chii is called Chii. Just like Yata is called Yata.

1/2

[chickshades]

[ There's another familiar face wandering around the coral too. But this one's just as confused as you are, Yata. And also paying as little attention to where he's going!

Yup, Bandou's just arrived too and is way too busy looking up at the fish swimming over head to realize he's about back right into the short tempered redhead. ]

Ah! HEY WATCH WHERE YOU--

[ oh fuck ]

2/2

[chickshades]

[ Wrong person to yell at Bandou! Quick, apologize and he might not beat the crap out of you! ]

DON'T HIT ME!!

[ That's... not an apology. ]

[shortstature]

[Eh? Someone else from Homra was here? Oh, it was that good for nothing idiot, Bandou. And Yata promptly hits him on the head sharply.]

You watch where you're going, moron! I may not know exactly where we are but you're still my underling! Watch it, dumbass.

[That appears to be the end of Yata's temper...for now. If Bandou can manage to watch his step, perhaps they can search the city together. Oh, who are we kidding, this is Yata. Bandou's probably going to piss him off by looking at him wrong.]

[fightforastar]

[Luckily for the bag of groceries she's carrying, Tifa keeps her balance a little better than the boy who just bumped into her. Once she's sure she hasn't dropped anything, she looks at him and offers a smile.]

It's all right, no harm done.

Are you new here?

[shortstature]

[The boy becomes considerably less aggressive than he's known for being. He even has a little pink in his cheeks as he offers her a nervous little smile.]

I'm sorry about that. Can I help you with your groceries at all?

[He may be something of a thug, but he does know when to mind his manners. He has pride, after all.]

[fightforastar]

Thanks for offering, but it's just a little farther. Are you headed somewhere?

[She's still trying to figure out if he's a newcomer, since he didn't answer. She hasn't seen him around, but some people keep mostly to themselves.]

[sewdamncute]

[What is it with dudes in this place walking into Kanji? He's a big guy, okay. He's not some tiny pipsqueak like Teddie or even that bastard Adachi. So, why are people always walking into him?

He turns around to see who it is and it's some strange guy who looks pretty normal, even down to the...embarrassed blush on his cheeks. Suddenly, he's not quite so annoyed any more.]

Nah, man, it's cool. Happens to us all, but I'd suggest you keep an eye out on who you stumble into. Not everyone here's nice and all.

[shortstature]

Yeah, sure thing-

[The embarrassment is fading now as he realized that not a whole lot of damage is done.]

So have you been in this place long? Do you know anything about it? I just got here myself.

[ignisinfernale]

[ And damn well you should, Yata, but here. There's a usual piercing gaze to him when he steps back from being bumped into. ]

Oi.

[ The "oi" is just to catch Yata's attention mostly. If the boy hadn't noticed yet just who he'd bumped into, now was as good a time as any to make him realize.

And dude. Not cool. We do not insult Blues out of nowhere anymore. He owes their King a small favor man. ]

[shortstature]

[The "Oi" sounds a little familiar even before Yata turns around and sees that it's...]

M-Mikoto-san?

[Somehow he's even more flustered than he was before at realizing it's his king.]

Y-you're here too?

[ignisinfernale]

Aa. Not the first time you've been here.

[ There's a quick ruffle as he walks past. ]

Let's get you back to the bar.

[ Because what is herding his pack back together now that there are more of them? ]

[shippingmath]

[By now, Dirk's spent enough time in crowds that being bumped into doesn't catch him completely off-guard. He takes a step or two back, but he's hardly knocked off his feet. He doesn't even look irritated at the inconvenience. Instead, it seems like he's just looking Yata over.]

You just get here? You've got that look.

[shortstature]

Yeah, I did.

[Yata was relieved the person he bumped into was alright.]

So I'm guessing you've been here a while?

[shippingmath]

A year.

[Not only all right, but brushing it off completely in favor of a different topic, apparently.]

Newbies usually stare like that. You gotten the low-down on Vatheon yet?
