Characters: Jin Kisaragi and you!
Location: Middle District
Time: Late afternoon
Style: Whatever!!
Status: Open like anything ever.

[ It was strange. There was no pain; you'd think that after being sliced open by a creature like that you'd feel pain. Perhaps this is what death felt like. To die after finding brother again...

Jin opens his eyes slowly

[sweeperesque]

[A newcomer, huh? Alright, fine. Time for the general introduction To Vatheon. Though she does notice that he seems a bit focused on something else.]

Looking for someone?

[brotherism]

[ Ragna, Ragna, Ragna; his mind is screaming Ragna, but he pulls himself together somewhat. Without a clear objective, a clear location, his passion has wilted somewhat. The girl that appears before him doesn't seem to be a threat: the politeness he learned throughout life overcomes him and he nods, barely, before answering. ]

Ragna the Bloodedge.

[sweeperesque]

Oh! He's around.

[A quick scan of the area, as if Ragna being 'around' meant that he was within sight. However that proves not to be the case.]

Admittedly, I'm not familiar with his schedule... but if you look around, you'll probably find him?

[brotherism]

[ Ragna is here -- brother is here. The calm look that was on his face flashes away and he looks dangerous for a moment before nodding. Turning away, he heads out-- finding brother is most important. ]

I'm coming, Brother. Just wait a little longer.

[sweeperesque]

[.... Oh. So this was the delusional brother Ragna was talking about? Suddenly, it all makes sense. She quirks an eyebrow and considers this for a moment. Help him or throw him off?

Well, there's one course of action that could either end up really good or really bad. Here's to taking a risk. She runs after him.]

Hey! Hold on, one more thing you should know if you're looking for him.

[brotherism]

[ He's near furious - how dare she try and stop him from finding brother, from destiny, from everything - but she said she could help. Clenching a fist, he turns to face her. ]

[sweeperesque]

[Pulling out her SFC and showing it to him. Of course, she figures it looks pretty stupid as is, and thus it requires an explanation.]

It's an SFC and you can contact him with this. Everyone here in Vatheon, this place, is listed in here because they have one. That includes yourself and Ragna.

No guarantee that he'll pick up, but if you use this... he may be willing to tell you where he is and that would make your search a lot easier.

[On the other hand, it's also perfect to let him know and reject the call. At least he'd know his delusional brother is in town.]

[brotherism]

[ He pauses, reaching into his pocket to pull out the SFC. Glancing back at Saya he smirks a little, nods, and turns. ]

Your assistance is appreciated.

[sweeperesque]

[... huh. She crosses her ams and tilts her head. He seems normal enough, if a little obsessed.]

No problem. Ragna told me a bit about you, I figured it may be a good idea to let him know you're here.

[brotherism]

[ Jin stares her down before smirking a little. No, brother would run away again if he did that. She didn't need to know, however. He nods, fiddling with the device a little. ]

[sweeperesque]

[... hm, nothing fishy about him. She wonders if it would be best to leave him alone now. But even then, she worries about that dangerous look in his eye from earlier.]

If you don't mind me asking, do you need to see Ragna for any specific reason? You don't need to answer of course, I'm just... curious.

[brotherism]

[ He knows that she would stop him if he admitted the truth, but how can he lie? It's destiny... Hands clenched, he smirks; it looks a little insane. ]

I have to find him. It's been so long, you see...

[sweeperesque]

You were... seperated from each other, I take it?

[She wouldn't be surprised and with a little use of the imagination, it fits well enough with Ragna's side of the story.]

[brotherism]

[ His hands clench tighter and he shakes a little. No, brother left, he chose, and now-- now it's his turn, brother will be his forever-- ]

Yes, we were seperated.

[sweeperesque]

[Instincts telling her to get awaaaaaay, yet she fights against them and isn't about to dash off just yet.]

Sorry. Didn't mean to pry. It must've been tough, but... best of luck with your reunion?

[brotherism]

... Yes. I'm coming, Brother... Hahaha...

[ Yup, he's on his way. ]
