[ it's been an hour or two since he arrived and, goddamn is this place empty. it'd be far more easier to move about and explore (read: investigate) wherever... wherever the hell this is if he was able-bodied as he used to be. but, with the inconveniences that come with having one arm -- his left arm, to boot -- and a playful little cat, there's not

[Well, he had been out restocking on his heart medication as well as something for his coughing, but. Hearing a familiar voice as he wanders by the train station, his grip on the brown paper bag he's carrying tightens and he goes completely tense.

But he shouldn't be in view from very he is though, and even if he thought he heard his name, he could be wrong. So, the young ninja sneaks closer to take a look, peering out from his hiding spot only to have his eyes widen at what he sees. That's Yukimi alright. Yukimi with one arm. And a cat.

Apparently the cat was "Yoite" too, or so he assumed.

He stays still where he is, just watching for now.]

Oi, s'not funny! [ even though it kind of is. also, endearing. yoite mewls with delight and latches onto his pant leg, a wild, untamed thing if there ever was one. ]

Yoite!

[ and that's when he feels it, the pinpricks of pain shooting from his right shoulder. the hairs on his neck stand on end.

somebody's watching.

for a moment, he stays perfectly still, watch in hand & all. he could draw his gun, but the urge to clutch at his arm nags at him with the fierceness of a worried sister (--kazuho, knock it off, i'm fine--). ]

Who's there? [ gruffly. ]

[ he settles for drawing his gun as quickly as he possibly can. he struggles for a minute or two before he's finally holding it. the safety might be on, but it should be enough to deter anybody crazy enough to attack mug him. ]

[The cat was indeed "Yoite" too, and it seems like Yukimi has forgotten him indeed. This is reassuring.

It's what he wished for. Maybe his wish had come true and Miharu hadn't messed up or betrayed him at all and his being here was just some version of Hell that he deserved to be suffering in.

But then, why was Yukimi here?

He tenses up when he's noticed, brain shutting off any thought other than to draw back into hiding more, stepping back a bit, only to step in some rubble that makes a pretty audible sound and his throat was starting to feel kind of itchy the more he tensed up and even if he tries his best to hold it in...

First a mild cough, quickly transforming into a worse one, until he feels blood filling his mouth and his throat going sore, pressing a hand to his mouth as the coughing keeps coming.]

[ springing into action when yoite is using his leg as his own personal mountain is no easy feat, even for a ~seasoned ninja like him. once he manages to stand, he goes through the motions: safety off, cock gun, assume an offensive stance in the case something or someone lunges at you.

he takes a few steps (with yoite following playfully from behind, blissfully unaware of yukimi's tension) towards the origins of the noise & coughing thinking pretty much the best & worst -- someone's distracted, this is my chance.

what he expected and what he gets are mind-numbingly different. here he is, ready to shower someone in bullets if necessary, standing over a boy no more than sixteen coughing his lungs out. it's disturbing. ]

Hey, br - kid. [ goin' soft, fuck. ] You OK?

Hello? Ack, who was supposed to be on duty today...

Um, hey? Did you just get here, mister?

[ wait, where did that come from? there's nobody there! ]

[ it's only a matter of time before he looks down and catches a glimpse of someone, moving where the hands & numbers were supposed to be. ]

Welcome to Ruby City! You seem to have brought a companion with you... do you need any assistance?

video.

[carajitos]

Yeah, he's... quite the handful. [ as if on cue, yoite leaps onto his lap & mewls, pressing his face against yukimi's hand & consequently the surface of the watch. ] Hey - !

A map would be real nice about now. What's up with this place, anyway -- haven't even bumped into anyone. [ there's really not much he can do other than raise his arm a little to keep his hand away from the terror that is his cat.

that's when he sees who or what exactly he is talking to. ]

Woah, what the hell is wrong with your skin?

[lousygoodfriend]

I don't know about a map for yourself, but there is a map posted somewhere near where you are with some important buildings pointed out. I'm afraid you're rather trapped here. You're currently on the train station, so I'm afraid you won't run into many others there, unless they come to see you, or greet new arrivals. There are plenty of people in town.

[Once the view is revealed, she tilts her head at his surprise.]

... my skin? Ah. I'm a troll. This is rather normal for me. I'm sorry if it surprises you.

[Hello stranger, meet the new resident of the train station.]

What prowess you show with machinery. How about you let the animal have a try at it, see if it shows some more potential.

But seriously. Stop it. It's painful just to watch.

agdghsd so sorry

[carajitos]

Fuck you!

[ he has no time to look at what an anomaly you are
JUST YELL!!!! ]

XDDDDDD I somewhat feel she deserves that. So no worries.

[potatolament]

... and you show even more skill with your words. Wonderful. I can tell your brief stay in this area is going to be a joy. For the both of us.

[carajitos]

Oh, shut up!

[ if he knew where he was, you'd bet he'd have no qualms with throwing the watch at her. too bad he doesn't see her anywhere. :| ]

[Abel's making his usual rounds about the train station when he comes across the one-armed man, and blinks at the coincidence of the cat's name...]

Hello, there.

[ this guy's a weirdo. ]

Hey? [ it doesn't help that this is the first person he's run into since he got here. yukimi has all the luck, clearly. all of it. ]

[Actually, he does - Yoite lives with him.]
