1st Night: Open Action; Network Post

[firstvampire]

[On one of the tables of Turnabout Café sat a charming gentleman, sipping his coffee and tinkering with his mobile phone. The sun was setting and he didn’t seem to mind the waitresses and female customers staring at him as he read through several posts on the network.]

[He quietly asked the waitress for a glass of water and took what seemed like a

Kaname-senpai-!

[firstvampire]

Hello, Yuuki. I trust the City has treated you well?

[guardianhime]

I've been okay....

[guardianhime]

B-But when did Kaname-senpai get here!? So calm... Where...we should...where are you, do you know? Do you need help... We should go get you...

[firstvampire]

Calm down, Fuukiiin-san... I am enjoying the sunset at Turnabout Cafe. If you wish to join me, I would be more than happy to see you again.

[guardianhime]

That isn't far...from our residence. It shouldn't take us long to get there.

[firstvampire]

Alright... I'll see you soon, then?

[guardianhime]

Y-Yes!

[Convincing Zero to come with her had been infinity harder than it normally was. It wasn't a surprise, but of course...he hadn't been happy to see Kaname. Nervous, she walked, trying not to think too deeply over the many things clouding her mind recently.

He was here.

A flush crossed her face. Just...Just what was their relationship? What period of time had he been taken from? W-What would he think of her...after having been in the city. Once they reached the cafe, she paused outside, taking a moment to prepare herself and breathe. Unconsciously her hand alighted upon the sleeve of Zero's jacket, before stepping forward and entering the popular cafe. The aura he carried was so attention catching and beautiful...she found him right away.]

K-Kaname-senpai...

[She said, eyes wide, before nervously bowing politely.]

It's good to see you--! I'm sorry that...that it's inside the confines of the city...

[He somehow knew she would bring Zero along with her. It was not to his liking, but he couldn't blame her. She had been in this City for a year, with only... him... for company.]

[He gave a nod to the waitress he was speaking to, who hurriedly ran off to get the slice of strawberry cake (for Yuuki), tea, and some finger foods he had asked her to prepare. Human girls... so easy to fluster.]

[He then motioned for Yuuki to sit down across his table as the waitress served the food, merely glancing at Zero whom he assumed would probably rather die than to sit with him.]

It is good to see you as well, Yuuki.

[He raises a cup of tea to his lips as he made sure to finish his blood-like drink before she came... the sight might bother her.]

There is nothing for you to apologize for. It is neither yours nor anyone's fault that I am here.

[He lightly taps the black palmtop on the table.]

...it would be better to assume we are here because of the Deities, wouldn't it?

[Nodding, Yuuki walked awkwardly forward, before sitting down slowly across from him. Zero made no move to sit down, instead remaining standing where he was. Hands falling into her lap beneath the table, they fiddled nervously in her lap. The atmosphere between the two boys had always been strange and tense. Perhaps because she was aware of so much more now it felt much worse.]

They are pretty indiscriminate about who they decide to pull into the city. Since Kaname-senpai was never here though, I thought it might be impossible for you...to appear here too...

[Her eyes would glance up at him, before falling back down to study the black table top. Didn't...Didn't Zero want to sit down too...? She wished he would.]

Both Zero and I have been here for about a year. At least...within the next four days it will be for me. Zero came a little bit after...and Yori-chan...

[firstvampire]

[Still so awkward... still so cute. Admittedly, Kaname wasn't entirely sure of how much Yuuki knows about her true nature, but in this City... the setting was near perfect to keep her from awakening.]

Perhaps if they are, as you say, "indiscriminate", then they might have simply been waiting for the perfect time to bring me here, to meet whatever goals they might have.

[He sat back in his chair, intertwining his fingers together and placing his hands quietly on his lap.]

Then I must congratulate you, Fukiiin-san. With the curses occurring at random in the City, taking victims in no particular order, it must have been a difficult year for you...

And yet, you seem to be alright and well.

[guardianhime]

I've had Zero. And Yori-chan.

[She scratched the back of her head a moment with a light shrug as though preferring to take the attention off of her.]

If I had been alone, I'm sure that things might have been a bit more difficult. At the least I was already used to living with them. We've all looked out for each other though.

[She paused a moment, before adjusting her sentence a little guiltily.]

Or at least tried to.

[Looking back up, her expression was concerned.]

But what about Kaname-senpai? You've only just arrived...it should be Kaname-senpai that we're concerned over. You're okay...?
