☾ 001. action.

[selene]

[ It doesn't matter where you are in the city. Just as long as you're not only inside today, you might find yourself meeting a new person rather abruptly. Or rather, by them bumping into you.

If you're standing somewhere on the streets or the sidewalks or maybe even inside some shops, you might notice a blonde-haired girl in the distance running towards you.. except she doesn't seem to notice you in return, so she ends up running right into you at full speed, with enough force that knocks her back to land on the ground on her butt with a slight whine.

What do. ]

Nothing bad...

[Lion is silent for a moment. Right, if she's new, he should tell her what he knows about this place so far. And she's young, so...he's a little worried.]

I'm not so sure. I've heard that in this place--at midnight there's something called the "Dark Hour" in which monsters appear and attack.

It would be wise to be careful during this time.

[selene]

Monsters..? [ she does frown a little, but she's not as surprised as she maybe should be for a girl her age, because.. well, she has plenty of experience with those. ]

You mean there are monsters attacking the innocent people in this town?

[oneinamillion]

[Little does Lion know. He wonders if she's as surprised as he was.]

Yes. I have yet to see any myself, but several people have told me about them.

[selene]

Huh, they sound pretty scary, don't they?

[ trying to cover all of it up with some silly laughing. ]

[oneinamillion]

They do. I hope I never get the chance to meet them.

[selene]

Ah-- ... Um, Lion-san, don't worry about it, okay? If you ever get into trouble with them, just call me and I'll help you out as much as I can! [ a nod, and she smiles. ] Promise!

[oneinamillion]

[Oh how nice! He nods and smiles.]

You don't have to trouble yourself for my sake. But thank you.

I'll do the same for you--at least, the best I'm able.

[selene]

No, it's not troubling at all! It's only natural to do this much to other people, especially if they helped me out when I popped up in some strange sort of place, hehe! And.. well, you're a very kind person.

[oneinamillion]

Thank you, miss Usagi. Is there anything you'd like to know about this place?

[selene]

No, I think I should be okay for now-- Ah, wait, I wonder if I'll still have to go to school though..

[oneinamillion]

I'm not sure. If you really want to, there's probably a school you can attend here.

[selene]

Well, it's not like I want to go to school! I just don't want to go to detention, that's different, right?

[oneinamillion]

Oh, then in that case, you shouldn't worry about school for now. It's better to get accustomed to your new surroundings before worrying about school. However, education is still important, so please don't completely dismiss your studies during your stay here.

[selene]

[ there's a drawn-out sigh at that, almost woeful, but then she nods slowly. ]

Okay, okay.. If you say so, Lion-san, I guess I'll try even if it's just a little..

[oneinamillion]

I'm glad to hear that.

Do you have a place to stay yet?

[selene]

Hmm, I do! Don't worry about me, I'm really good at taking care of myself! [ not.. really.. with her clumsiness, but she manages. ]

I already met a lot of people here, so I'm really glad for everyone helping me out.

[oneinamillion]

That's good. There are many kind people here.

If you ever need something, I'll be happy to help you out, as well.

[selene]

Hehe, thanks, Lion-san! You're a real friend, so you can ask me out for help with anything at all too, even though I'm newer.. but I quickly adapt, so I'll try my best!

[oneinamillion]

[Friend? How nice. He smiles.]

I'll be sure to depend on you, too, then. Thank you.
