[Hey, Luceti. There's no rain forecasted for today, but if you're anywhere near the fountain at the village centre, you'll definitely be getting a slight shower when one (1) girl drops from what seems to be thin air- into the fountain with a SPLASH . If you get what I mean.

...glub glub glub.

It's a good thing this fountain isn't very deep,

Miss?

[ Oh come on. It takes five seconds to walk past the fountain. Clearly, this is Allen's karma for avoiding his usual haunts for a week. After the initial sputtering, he scrubs water from his eyes and scrambles to help her up. ]

[There is going to be an ugly bump on the right side of her head once this day is over. She coughs out some water as she surfaces.]

Ow.

[action]

[outwalks]

[ offering a hand. ]

Are you all right?

[action]

[liketofu]

[She looks up, ready to answer and--

blink]

...who are you?

[action]

[outwalks]

Ah-Allen Walker. I don't think we've met before, miss. . . ?

...Rise Kujikawa. [still kinda bleary here] I don't think I've seen you on the set before. Are you new?

[action]

[outwalks]

The set. . . ?

[ Confused, now. But it's been months since the last round of New Feathers-surely she can't be. . .

Oops, that pause dragged out a tad too long. ]

It's been a few months, actually. How's your head?

[action] 1/4

[liketofu]

It...kinda hurts.

[liketofu]

[Headshake. And a tiny smile too]

It'll pass. Don't worry.

[She starts to stand, a little unsteadily.]

I'm sorry, I'm kinda new to this project and all so I haven't really learnt everyone's...

[action] Done, timezones are eating me alive so I am tagging like GLACIERS I'm sorry.

[liketofu]

[And her gaze settles on the reflection of the sun on the water. Hang on, hadn't the studio been indoors? Her voice trails off.]

...names.

[action] no worriiiies, you are loved anyway. \o/

[outwalks]

[ But she isn't acting like a New Feather, and this "project" talk is pretty ominous. . . He just stands there dripping and blinking at her in startlement. ]

Sorry-new to the project?

[action] ;3;

[liketofu]

Yeah. But this doesn't look like...

[...]

...hey, Allen?

[action]

[outwalks]

Ah-yes?

[action]

[liketofu]

[How was she supposed to put this in a way that didn't sounds insane? Wait, there wasn't a way, was there.]

Where...am I?

[action]

[outwalks]

The plaza;it's a place called Luceti.

[ . . . ]

You haven't been here before?
