action post √ DAY 1: a forest meeting.

[justtooedgie]

[ Even now, I couldn't help but feel concerned about Crowe. The way he stopped, stared at nothing, and then turned red (it almost looked like he wasn't breathing during those moments). We weren't exactly friends anymore, but that didn't mean I wasn't concerned about his wellbeing. I wanted Crowe to be happy and healthy, not either or

[ Luckily for Lymle, she wasn't home earlier to witness the...strange events of Star Ocean: The Last Drama. She was occupying herself by walking around the forest. All she wanted was just to find a place to play.

As she continues her quest, she notices a familiar figure sitting on the dirt path. ]

Edgie...?

Jerk. 8|

[justtooedgie]

[ It wasn't long after I'd sat down that I'd heard a familiar voice. That one didn't take any time to place and before long I found myself smiling at Lym.

Did she come looking for me? I shook my head gently and put the idea out of my mind; it was probably just coincidence. I still stood up, brushing a few blades of grass and twigs from my pants as I did so, to greet her though. ]

Hey there Lymle, what are you doing so far out in the woods?

8( not a jerk if I l'm letting you do what you want~

[lymed]

I'm looking for a new place to play, 'kay? What are you doing out here, Edgie?

BUT YOU'RE THE LOLI. D8 1/2

[justtooedgie]

Try not to go anywhere too dangerous, and don't go too far. [ I nodded before looking around myself. A place for Lymle to play, huh?

I hadnt't thought about it before, but that was true. This place was a lot different than the Calnus and there might not be any safe place for her to play.

What should I do?

→ Take her back to the house where it's safe.
    Try to find that girl who called her a loli so she can watch her.
    Let her go back on her way.

the troll brigade approaches --> choose for meeee? 8D;;

[Albel has noticed some people acting pretty weird via the journals, and being the master of logic he is, left his house for a walk in the forest, where he didn't think anyone would be right then.

...oh hay. it's that guy with a death wish. Albel is sort of unsure if he should get the other's attention or not. so he compromises, leans against a tree and waits to see if Edge will notice him or not.]

YAY ALBEL. 8D! I shall then, bb. <3!

[justtooedgie]

[ It wasn't long before I felt another a disturbance. The feeling wasn't bad or that apparent, more like... the feeling of eyes on me.

Actually, maybe that was a little creepy. I had to repress my shudder as I rose, trying to determine the source. When I saw it was the black-haired man from before, I was relieved. Just him, huh? ]

Hey. You're from before, right? [ I thought that I might not have come off the right away last time, maybe now I could make amends. ]

[testingmyaim]

[oh, so he noticed. and is obviously not prepared for that fight at all. oh, rats.]

...Hnh.

[justtooedgie]

[ Oh, there he went with that routine again. I was starting to get down because of it. All the same, I couldn't let myself be pulled into his pace, could I?

It'd only been a few days anyway. ] I didn't expect to see you out here, although I guess there isn't much else to do around here. Are you looking around the forest?

[faizedout]

[Unfortunately, things have since changed since the Crowe incident. Faize disappeared for several hours, and has now emerged in a cute but elegant black and gold dress. He is humming serenely to himself as he wanders the village with a book in hand, and it seems as though some of the forest creatures are following him. Of all this, he seems blissfully unaware.

However, he can and does stop to say hello to Edge with a smile and very unusual cheer.]

Good afternoon, Edge! How fare you today?

[justtooedgie]

[ It'd been an average day so far, or so I thought. From what I'd heard it was an "average day" in Luceti, but I was sure that it wouldn't have been average on the Calnus.

For one, there were a lot less interactions with Reimi. By this point, I usually walked in on her doing something or other (or she walked in on me doing something or other) and I ended up getting slapped. The lack of burn mark on my face was nice, but the company itself I missed.

Up until I saw him walking up to me. I was reminded of his earlier help and decided not to shy away, despite his odd choice of apparel. But I realized I'd never actually seen him in anything but his "work" clothes. For all I knew Eldarians did this regularly.

Arumat did wear a skirt after all. I disregarded it for now. ] Hey Faize. Uh, fare?

Nothing's wrong, if that's what you mean.

i... i don't know if i can choose. EDGE YOU HAVE TO BELIEVE IN FAIZE

[faizedout]

[But really, Edge, does Faize smile like that? His voice has a singsong air about it, even. There is a book in his hands, likely one about a thoughtful, independant woman.]

That's good to hear, Edge. You seemed so distraught yesterday.

OKAY. XD BUT IF YOU WANT TO LATER, JUST SAY SO.

[justtooedgie]

[ I think this was the first time I saw Faize reading something other than a screen. I was kind of interested in what it was about. ]

Yeah, but I got over it. You helped me a lot. [ I smiled at him. ] What's that book anyway?

Pick for me, yo :|

[once_knighted]

[Welp, since Yuri's been noticing people acting a little ... weird, he's decided to head into the forest and get his training routine out of the way earlier than usual. Of course, along the way, he comes across Edge. He's not too sure whether approaching him is a good idea or not, but what the hell.]

What's with you?

8|||

[justtooedgie]

[ I'd begun busying myself playing with twigs until an unexpected visitor arrived. He looked familiar, and I think I remembered him from a conversation he'd had with Arumat before.

He'd also mentioned Crowe's name. ] Nothing? [ I rose an eyebrow. What did he mean by that? ]

What do you mean?

lolwhat :|

[once_knighted]

Well, you were just sitting around in the middle of nowhere. [... Eh, why was he bothering.] ... Never mind, I doubt it's any of my business.

ilu? 8D

[justtooedgie]

[ Oh. Did he somehow get the wrong idea?

I rubbed the back of my head. ] I was thinking, but I'd probably be pretty concerned if I saw someone sitting around like this too. [ I stood up. ]

As long as you're here, why don't I introduce myself? My name is Edge Maverick. [ I held out my hand for him to shake. ]

[And here comes Emil, happily trotting along with a bag of groceries until he... trips over something that doesn't even seem to be there.]

Aaah!

[Splat goes the Emil.]

[justtooedgie]

[ I saw a boy land flat on his face.

Was he hurt? I stared at him in my confusion, uncertain of what I should do next.

→ Walk over and help him up.
    Kick dirt in his face then leave.
    Laugh.

2/2

[justtooedgie]

I nodded to myself and walked over to give him a hand. It'd be bad if any of those groceries stayed on the ground for too long. ]

Hey, you have to be more careful when you're walking around. Make sure you know where you're going or else you could trip like this again.

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil looks decidedly embarrassed right about now. He isn't normally this clumsy; what's going on?]

S-sorry, I must've tripped over a rock or something. I was just walking when all of a sudden I... fell down.
