New at this, hope this works! <3
Where in the world…?
Just as she utters her first words and sits up, she feels her clothes clinging slightly to her skin, the way they often do when they are wet or damp. She feels it everywhere, in fact, and, though she is mildly disgusted, she tugs at her pink cardigan with both of her hands, just to feel the moisture for herself. It takes a ( Read more... )

Mori had been looking around the Plaza when he'd spotted the girl in a familiar drenched state. He recognized her as one of them many 'new arrivals' and decided he knew enough basics of this place to help her out.
"It's an underwater city."

Yukari begins to repeat what she's heard, but suddenly stops, realizing she's no longer alone. She turns around to see him there, towering over her--and though she'd never admit it, she feels scared.
Right. I-I kind of noticed...
She looks up for a moment, as if to make sure all the water was still there. Then she turns her attention back to him.
Uhm, w-who are you? Do... do you know how I got here?

This place pulled you here, no one knows why.
[He offers one hand to shake, the other in his pocket and he tries to reassure her with a small smile.]

I'm Yukari. Um... you... er, you seem to know more about this place than I do. Do you know of a place I could dry off or something?
She wants to ask him about her friends. About how to get out of here. But she decides that maybe she'd be in a better state of mind to do so if she wasn't soaking wet.

[In a couple strides he makes his way to a vendor who only smiles as he takes one of the towels always kept in the plaza, then returns to Yukari]
Here, use this. It's nice to meet you.

It seems she was so preoccupied with where she was and how she got there that she had not noticed the vendors or the free towels available. She smiles at him and starts to dry off her hair, although she's still not sure what to do about the clothes.
She looks around. She needs to find a way back to the dorm, though it didn't seem like it it was possible. There isn't any clear way out of this seeming bubble under the sea; and even if she could, there was no way of knowing where Tatsumi Port Island even was in relation.
She sighs, and as she turned back to face Mori, she sees a small ball of light next to her. Just floating there. She raises an eyebrow, as she reaches her hand out to it.
...huh? What's this?

"That is a fairy. everyone has one. They don't talk, they don't react, and you can't catch them."
Mori gestured to his own, pale grey fairy, every silent and floating at his shoulder. Truth be told, the fairies were so non-invasive that everyone forgot they were even there.

...what exactly do they do, then?
Perplexed, she wonders if the thing has been following her ever since she'd gotten here.

No one knows, they're just there.

Her eyes haven't left her little fairy. She seemed suspicious of it, but after a few moments, it began to fade into obscurity again, blending carefully into the background.
So, do you know where I could...you know...
She tugs at her clothes again, looking uncomfortable. She doesn't know if she likes the idea of asking another guy about this kind of thing... except maybe Minato, but she clearly doesn't have a choice. Her cheeks flush a bit red.
...get changed?
Clothing stores under the sea? Well... Ariel had to shop somewhere, she supposed...

[Mori points out the shops that are for clothing.]

She repeats the word as she looks around where he is gesturing. Well, it's not surprising, she supposes; she did somehow manage to miss the towels conveniently placed nearby, after all. But this is indeed odd. She likes clothes, after all; she's usually the one to drag others to the stores.
But alas. She supposes she has changed, since then.
Right. I...I guess I'll go find something... um, thank you.
She proceeds to walk into the nearest store she can find, silently wondering if he would follow her. His clothes were already dry, but...well, who knew?
It's strange. It's all very strange... but she can't find it in herself to complain about free clothes...
