Dawn 1 | Arrival

[sunbloom]

[1 - Action]
Ugh... my head... what happened?

[There's a girl you haven't seen before in the middle of the Gardens; she looks disoriented, and that white shift looks fairly familiar... If left to her own devices, she'll panic for a minute, then start to look around; it'll be easy to miss, but she's trembling, likely afraid of what happened to her. Once she finds someone, though, she'll immediately make her way over.]

Do you... know where we are? Or what happened to me? This... isn't what I was wearing when I was conscious last.

[The girl you're seeing looks quite a bit more calm than she did just a little while ago, though it's replaced by confusion; she's wearing a male school uniform, of all things, but it doesn't look too out of place on her. It looks like she's holding a scroll.]

Why is a plant...? Oh, is it doing- oh! I'm still not entirely sure what's going on here, but I guess I've been invited to your "Gardens". My name is Myoudou- sorry, Itsuki Myoudouin. Pleased to meet you. I've gotten some basic information on this place, but...

If anyone knows what's going on, I would appreciate information. I left some people in the middle of something important, and I should get back to them. It's... urgent.

[She looks exceptionally nervous, or possibly worried. Hard to tell.]

Comments

[sunbloom]

The home of the Queen, huh...? Well, I guess there's nothing I can do about it...

[Seemingly resigned to her fate, the girl starts hunting for her things; she gives a noncommittal nod at her companion's offhand comment.]

...You seem like you've been here a while.

[hotshot_momma]

She visibly tenses, her shoulders rolling involuntarily. "...Recently returned."

[sunbloom]

Meaning you went home for a little while, and then came back?

[Itsuki seems to contemplate this for a little bit as she continues searching.]

Well, I guess it's better to have seen your friends than to be here forever...? [Nope, she's got nothing.]

[hotshot_momma]

...Actually, I can agree with that. They'll get by; I trained them well. I'd rather be helping them, though.

You have friends here that you know of?

[sunbloom]

I'm glad you can depend on them, at least. It sounds like they'll have it rough without you, though. I don't know that the people I left behind will manage in my absence.

As for my friends... I'm not sure, but I have a suspicion they're not here. The three of them were all fighting alongside me when... [Itsuki seems to stress for a moment to think of something.] ...I don't know what happened, actually. I suspect something hit me pretty hard, and I blacked out. Next thing I knew... I was waking up here.

....Ah! [Itsuki seems to have finally come across her things; she picks up something white with gold accents that looks for all the world like a horribly-designed perfume bottle, and thinks for another moment.] That's the only explanation, I think. I was fighting and I must have gotten knocked out. I wouldn't still have... [She trails off, a quick glance back reminding her she still has an audience.]
