☽ Stage 1

[To say this was different would be highly understating the problem.

To put it simply enough, Megaman X was completely, utterly, and cluelessly baffled. The last thing he remembered was getting another moment to relax. He had just stepped through a door, intending to head out, and --

-- stepped out here. Without his armor, instead wearing some kind

[Mac Anu is a well populated area, though a closer inspection of some of the people revealed that well... some of them didn't seem quite 'normal']

[one such boy was a bespectacled young blond running by with a paper bag in his arms. Haruki had been off buying some supplies and food while Kazuki was off... being Kazuki again. Either way, he had caught the tail end of X's musing and stopped to take a look]

Underground? Those types of dungeons would be out in the fields.

[crasherpacifist]

Dungeons? Do they regularly store stolen things down there?

[powerforwisdom]

[pauses to adjust the groceries in his arms]

I'm afraid not.

Did you just arrive here? If so.... It might take a while to catch up to everyone.

[crasherpacifist]

Catch up to... what?

[He seems to know what's going on, thank god.]

Do you know where we are?

[ventus_aerius]

There's no way to find that idiot in this place! Not with this level of equipment...

[making his way through Mac Anu is another former Reploid, looking a bit unamused at their present predicament. He almost walked straight past the Harvest Cleric when he hears the familiar voice-]

[stop]

[blink]

[turn...]

...

Master X?! [give him a second, he's still adjusting to The World and not having all his armor]

[crasherpacifist]

[To X, however, the voice is completely unfamiliar, though his name has gotten his attention.

"Master?" He blinks a few times, frowning.]

...I'm sorry. Have we met?

[ventus_aerius]

[wide eyed] Master X, don't you... recall?

[suddenly remembers his manners and bows down] Forgive my impudence.

[crasherpacifist]

[ACK what are you doing.]

Stand up, please. You don't have to....

[illuminatism]

[Ah, she was tired and these monsters were becoming less and less fun to go out and play with. They were beginning to pose little of a challenge. But at least there were plenty of people outside of monster fighting that did seem to give some kind of amusement. Some kind of fun and contentment to be around.

As she steps out of the Chaos Gate the woman pauses and blinks. Her head tilts just a little to the side as she watches the boy before her, listens as he speaks, and lets out a quiet snort of mild amusement.

What does he mean by underground? She wonders. The fields or the dungeons?

But judging by the way he was speaking it sounded as though he was perhaps new to this whole thing, new to The World and Amaterasu lets out a quiet sound of thought. Well, if that was the case, then perhaps she could be of some help to him...? First things first, though!

She clears her throat. Loudly. It would be one way to let him know that there was someone else around.]

[crasherpacifist]

[X is alerted by the noise, glancing over. Oh, yet another person? Not that he minded. Even if it was a bit awkward with Harpuia and Leviathan, so far everyone he'd met had been pleasant enough.]

Ah, hello.

[illuminatism]

[She gives a small nod of her head in acknowledgment of him, a quiet greeting in return to his hello. Face-to-face encounters like these always did prove to be a bit of a problem, if only because of the vocal barrier. There were a few people, aside from Issun and Waka, that she had found herself able to be around and they could understand her perfectly without the need of the Relic or any other sort of object for communication. (But at least, if it came down to it, she could quickly get her hands on her Relic

[crasherpacifist]

[He doesn't seem to mind the fact that she's gotten closer. As she doesn't seem to be threatening or have an intention to fight him, he isn't bothered too much by personal space or contact.

Unfortunately, X isn't well versed in reading body language, at least that in depth. But it's pretty easy to see that she looks a bit more familiar with this place then he does.]

Have you been here a while?
