ａ ｐｒｏｔａｇ ｌｉｆｅ

[spinoff]

Action, open to everyone. Dark Hour.

[ Last thing she knew she was on a train towards her new school. It was pretty late and things had been awfully calm so far. However, the moment the lights flickered wildly and then went completely black, Minako decided things were most definitely not okay. She couldn't hear the train anymore, nor the other few passengers around her, even with her headphones away from her ears.

Suddenly, she was standing in the middle of a town. Wait, when had she walked out? She had her bag on one hand, so at least not everything was lost, but where was she? And who the hell left those coffins around? She couldn't help but think she had probably fell into some bizarre horror movie. ]

No...that's ridiculo-- what was that?

[ And as if fate tried to mock her, the moment Minako uttered those words a group of three black blobs made their way out from an alleyway, greasy and semi liquid arms rising as the group slid its way towards a completely paralyzed out of surprise girl.

Something was most definitely wrong with this place. ]

[ What the fuck did she just see? ]

Y-yeah...you could say that...

[athngabla]

[Over-leveling, that's what.]

You seem to be keeping your composure better than most newcomers do: good for you, missy!

[ She kinda feels bad for the Shadow now... ]

Well, I'm pretty surprised but I can't just freeze right? Whatever is going on though, I don't really know how to react.

[athngabla]

[That Shadow would totally dissipate if she tried whacking at it. Visceral Maya. Assholes.]

Not freezing up is a good first. Finding somewhere safe and getting information would probably be the best follow-up.

[ Poor little cute small fry. ]

Okay, so onto it. What is going on?

[athngabla]

Prospero, island-city. Green sky, Dark Hour. Black mosnter-things, Shadows.

[He jerks a thumb at himself, still grinning.]

Cu Chulainn, not very keen on lengthy explanations.

That name reminds me of something...something kinda Celtic I think.

I'm Minako Arisato, nice to meet you.

[athngabla]

[That sound is a low, impressed whistle.]

You know your stuff, lass.

[spinoff]

I like to read.

[ Have a sincere smile, a second before she frowns and looks back at him. ]

But you couldn't be...

[athngabla]

[A short laugh. He's entertained.] Better get used to it, kid. There's a lot of names you'd normally only see in books wandering around this town.
