[ Knock knock, open up, there is some number of Anzens at your door.

A pretty lady in sky blue smiles and waves. ]

Good evening. Hopefully this isn't a bad time? Enough time has passed that we figured it was a good idea to check in and make proper introductions.

You'll have to forgive the lack of housewarming gift. We're a bit shorthanded at the moment, which I'm sure you can relate to.

[ From behind her peers a perfectly average guy with tousled hair dressed in sky blue slacks. He gives a friendly wave! ]

We did think about it, though.

[ GIVE BROWNIE POINTS ]

[ dino nuggies ]

All of the above! Let's hear it, blue guy.

[ she still doesn't know what to call him ]

[ordimame]

Puck. I've officially chosen "Puck."

[leveling her with a Look]

I'm not much of a fighter, but I'm pretty resourceful. And not only do I know how to make a mean cup of coffee, but I'm a pretty good cook, too. And I'm loyal! So you don't have to worry about me stabbing you in the back.

[nodnods. there. that's "why I'm reliable" resume]

[mogger]

Alright, Puck. Way better than "Captain".

[ rude..... ]

Well, ya did offer to come with me to explore the forest. So you're not so bad.

[ thanks yuffie ]

[ordimame]

[. . . RUDE. . .]

Don't say that to the guy in Katsumori's class who chose "Captain" first.

[it's just no longer rude to him, specifically]

And thanks for the glowing review. How did that go, by the way?

[mogger]

[ listen he was the one trying to pretend he was a captain!!! ]

Puck suits ya!

[ is this a compliment or an insult, impossible to say ]

Ugh. Well, we found something -- but we passed out and returned to the start as soon as we laid eyes on it. Must be protected by some serious magic or something.

[ordimame]

[sitting up a little straighter]

What was that "something?"

[mogger]

A grave. Couldn't make out any writing on it or anything, though.

[ordimame]

[. . . interesting!]

A grave. . . that you were immediately teleported away from once you saw it? Something must not want you to know who is buried there.

[mogger]

Yep. That, and actually getting there was annoying as hell. There were these creepy voices whispering to us.

[ does not give more details than that ]

You better keep me informed if you go exploring, too.

[ordimame]

[. . . creepy voices? he can tell there is something she isn't saying, here. . . but he politely doesn't pry, even if he does give her a worried look]

I will. It's only fair, right?

So far, I've just been looking around the school itself. I haven't found anything notable just yet.

[mogger]

[ sometimes things hit a little too close to home ]

Yep! Sounds like a deal.

Yeah, aside from the forest, I haven't found anything either.

[ordimame]

[. . .]

I wonder what's beyond the forest? Past the grave you found? If we could get in contact with a nearby town, then maybe. . .

[trailing off, not wanting to believe they are truly isolated, here]

[mogger]

I don't think it's gonna be that easy. I did tell you as soon as we saw it, we passed out and woke up back at the school, right?

[ she is not the optimistic kind unfortunately ]

[ordimame]

[NEITHER IS HE]

You did. And because of that, I don't think it'd be easy, either. But that doesn't stop me from wondering.

[mogger]

Just be careful if you decide to go out there. Or.... whatever.

[ordimame]

. . . are you worried about me?

[mogger]

No! It'd just be a bummer if you died or something.

[ordimame]

[oh my god]

Just a "bummer," huh?

[he's amused]

[mogger]

Just a bummer!

[ not that she cares, b-baka.... ]

[ordimame]

[he thinks he is starting to figure out just what kind of person she is. . .]

Good to know. That's better than not caring at all.

[mogger]

[ just a tidge of a tsundere ]

Hey, I'm not that much of a jerk.

[ordimame]

I never once thought you were.

[still. . . amused]

[mogger]

Then what's that face for?

[ are you mocking her, sir... ]

[ordimame]

Oh, you know.

[mocking? never. teasing? maybe]

[mogger]

[ narrows her eyes suspiciously...... suspicious behavior ]
