Dawn 2 | Questions [Video/Action]

[The Itsuki appearing on the Vine now looks much more sure of herself than she did a week ago, which is a plus; however, she still looks a bit... confused? After a moment, she seems to realize the mirror is recording her.]

So... I know I've been here for a little while now, but I'm still not a hundred percent sure what's going on. I get the whole thing with the Gardens, and us being here, and the rules, and all that. It's beautiful here, to be sure, and everything's provided for as needed. But it seems... off. Maybe part of that is just that I haven't really taken much time to meet people; I admit that my first instinct when I wake up in an unfamiliar land is not to befriend the locals, which is something I'd be happy to fix if anyone is willing to spare some time. I'm fairly certain my friends from my own home - Tsubomi, Erika, and Yuri - aren't here. Making proper friends was never my strong suit back home, so... [The girl shrugs.]

And all that stuff before, with the pirate ship in the sky, and the hostages... I think I came in directly in the middle of something, and I never really asked what was going on with all that. Is anyone willing to explain? That seemed pretty major, but I didn't want to try and help without knowing the score, and it never really seemed like a good time to stop someone and ask about the growing battle in the airspace above me.

[Itsuki pauses for a moment before she frowns a bit.] Sorry that I'm going on so long, but... I guess I'm just anxious. I feel like something's going to happen, and I don't know what it is. I don't mind adapting, I just don't know what I'm adapting to yet, and that unnerves me. I'm going to walk around, see if I come across anyone. Maybe that'll help me figure out what I'm doing here, too.

[She spends a moment looking at the mirror in puzzlement before she makes a quick gesture, and the video ends. And sure enough, just after that, Itsuki can be found roaming the Gardens, looking around as if to take in all the buildings and locales. She looks a bit on edge, but otherwise open. Feel free to interrupt her exploration, though; it's a safe assumption she won't mind.]

Horned demons, you say...? Well, guess other places have different things, but that one sounds pretty weird. Definitely suspicious, even. Nice to meet you, by the way, Youmu.

[agelessobsession]

The oni aren't too suspicious. Most of them live underground now, but they always throw great parties when you see them above ground. I suppose anyone will go anywhere where they can find alcohol, right? People are idiotic like that, I guess.

[sunbloom]

Well... I can understand that much, I guess. I'm not of age for alcohol myself, though, so... less of a concern to me. It just comes across as a poor decision. They're pirates. Codes and honor aside, they're thieves, with no law other than their own. Your oni seem almost like buddies in comparison.

[agelessobsession]

[What is this "drinking age," Youmu's never heard of it.]

Was there a big battle beforehand? Perhaps the pirates wanted to apologize for trouble they caused, so they threw a party...

[She shakes her head, frowning.] That doesn't seem likely. They seem too ruthless, kidnapping people and such.

[sunbloom]

As far as I know, no. Just a random party, and then this whole incident a little later. It boggles the mind, honestly. Not to mention that we apparently paid them off with bottled fairies? [Itsuki shakes her head.] I'm not sure I want to know.

[agelessobsession]

...Bottled fairies? How do you bottle a fairy?

[She thinks about it. The fairies she know are the size of small children, after all.]

I suppose if you had a rather large bottle.
