Rebel // 01 [Accidental Voice]

[bullet_dance]

[if you happen to be wandering around the forest, you may run into a girl who's sound asleep. then again, that won't last for long. after a few moments, she finally comes to.]

Ahh… ungh? Wh-where am I…? This isn’t the Librarium...

[a few moments of silence]

What was... what was I doing before? I can’t remember…

--W-wait! Major Kisaragi was hurt, and…

[Voice]

[black_onslaught]

[Great. Ragna recognizes that voice. And the whole "Major Kisaragi" and "Ragna the Bloodedge" part confirms it for him. The shriek, not so much, but he's not really going to bother with that. But besides that, he's gotta say something.]

Damn it, what was her name...? Hey! Noel!

[Voice]

[bullet_dance]

[Oh god. Noel just noticed the book laying near her--and it was talking to her. Not only that, it knew her name! Then again, that voice sounded oddly familiar... but from where? She reluctantly picked up the book.]

Th-that voice... where have I heard this voice from? You're...

[Yep. She's drawing a blank here.]

[Voice]

[black_onslaught]

[No use really hiding it if she's having trouble remembering. Maybe it'll be better off if he reminds her, rather than the memory coming out as something bad? Epic logic, Ragna.]

Ragna the Bloodedge.

[Voice]

[bullet_dance]

[Oh, Ragna. You always had a way with words.]

--WHAT?! You're--

Ragna the Bloodedge?!?!

[Oh god. She doesn't know what to do -- she doesn't have Bolverk.]

... H-how do you know my name?!

[martelandmany]

Hello, can you hear me?

If you can, look for a book lying open nearby.

[bullet_dance]

Wh-what? Who's--?!

... B-book?

[She looks around and, yep, there's a book. Wait, is that voice coming from the book? She picks it up.]

Um... I found it. ... Wh-who are you?

[martelandmany]

I am Martel. You're in a place called Luceti. You've never heard of it, but neither had we until we ourselves arrived.

Follow the river, there's a village nearby. Once you arrive, locate the fountain. In the shops nearby, you'll find your clothes and valuables. Then, head for the building marked as the New Feather Integration Center. You won't be able to miss it.

[bullet_dance]

[Truthfully, Noel doesn't know whether or not she should trust this "Martel". Then again, what other lead does she have at this point? And the woman said her belongings were there--Noel couldn't take any chances.]

Luceti... so I'm not in Kagutsuchi anymore.

F-follow the river, right? ... I'll do that.

Um... thank you, ma'am.

[love_me_venus]

Did you lose something?

I'm just going to assume this is after she met Ragna, if that's okay with you! :D

[bullet_dance]

A-ah... I did, but someone actually returned it for me.

That's fine! I'm always late to the party.

[love_me_venus]

Oh, that's good! Was it in the store with everyone else's things?

[bullet_dance]

I think so!

... Does everyone's belongings always end up there?
