[ OH YES, OH YES OH YES. Just what Estelle wanted as she wandered aimlessly around the district: a strange blond man in a bartender's outfit looking like he might murder someone. She has her hands clasped together as she looks around, wondering if perhaps she was really dreaming ]

[ Regardless, she was a polite young woman who was lost, and thus- without knowing any better she walks up to him and... ]

E-Excuse me! I'm so sorry to bother you, but do you... know where we are?

[verydangerman]

[WITH LUCK, it appears he is not pissed at YOU because once you get his attention the pissed of expression fades considerably]

No...You're lost?

[marchewaltz]

[ She smiles and bows politely, seemingly unaware of a glare or scowl Shizuo would ever have on his face ]

Oh, yes... It seems that is the case.

[ Estelle wrings her hands together as she thinks before covering her mouth in shock ]

W-Wait just a moment, you don't know where we are? Are you also lost?

[verydangerman]

[PAUSE as he considers this, then pushes up his glasses]

Yeah. Guess so.

[marchewaltz]

[ She seems excited at this, perhaps determined from hearing that this man was also lost. That simply will not do! ]

I'm sorry to hear that, [ she quietly whispers to herself ] I wonder if this is really a dream then... Oh, I know! Waybe we can help each other! My name is Estelle! I- [ she pauses and reconsiders her statement ] ... It's very nice to meet you.

[verydangerman]

[Well at least he isn't the only one that thought it was a dream.]

Heiwajima Shizuo. Nice to meet you.

[marchewaltz]

[ She takes a deep breath, doing her best to pronounce his name ]

Heiwajima Shizuo... that's such an interesting name, almost as if it came right out of a history book, or a fantastical adventure. It quite suites your mysterious aura.

[verydangerman]

...it's just a name. Estelle sounds more like something out of a manga.

[marchewaltz]

A... manga? [ She looks down to think, but then smiles at Shizuo ] Well, I like it, and I like your name too! Yuri gave me this name...

[verydangerman]

[Suspects this girl is kinda weird.

Well. whatever.]

Is he here too?

[marchewaltz]

[ She looks around, running forward slightly and then towards the side before coming back to Shizuo ]

I'm not ... sure yet, I have to find him! But... I'm no longer alone, so I can take my time doing so. This area looks very grand so far! I'm a little overwhelmed!

[verydangerman]

[Watches her run around, then looks up into the branches overhead.]

Aa... I figured it was a dream at first.

[marchewaltz]

[ Estelle ponders the words she heard on the network ]

I... Have you tried pinching yourself? It didn't work for me, but... maybe this isn't my dream!

[verydangerman]

I dunked my head underwater.

[Still, it's worth a shot, if it'll wake him up already. Grabs some of the flesh of his wrist between thumb and forefinger and pulls and twists. He doesn't show any particular reaction to what should probably hurt pretty bad. After a few second she lets go.]

Doesn't look like it.

[marchewaltz]

You dunk your head...

[ She looked him once over. ] You're not going to catch a cold, are you? We don't know what level of medicine or healing artes are available in this world!

[ Estelled looked in one of her pockets for a small handkerchief ] Here, please take this!

[verydangerman]

......

[It seems entirely unnecessary, but probably like more effort to refuse her offer without offending her than just taking her up on it. So Shizuo slowly takes the handkerchief from her.]

Aa. Thanks.
