[Isa'd been on a walk, kinda out of it. But, well, he's not going to miss someone crawling out of a fountain. He walks over, blinking at the guy. Red hair... Kinda like Lea. ...Why, not, he's not still a bit bitter over stuff involving Axel.]

Er... You okay?

[yamato_orochi]

[Human... human! Was this heaven's punishment if he truely died? A curse on whatever remained of the Celestial Plain for bestowing such a fate on him. This flesh, soft vulnerable...cold. The water, that was the cause. Orochi made to move out of the fountain... only to fall over and hit his head against the ground. Damn these new limbs! How was he going to operate this body? If nothing else he was out of the fountain now. Then there was a voice, a young one. A child was present. With difficulty, Orochi was able to make himself look up at the blue haired youth. Orochi was in no mood to deal with anyone at the moment, not with all of this confusion.]

Begone, child. I have no patience to entertain you.

[Big words coming from a man in a drenched kimono and unable to stand himself up, let alone walk.]

[beforemoonfall]

[Isa just sighs in an almost frustrated manner at the man. So stubborn... Still, he leans down and holds his hand out when the man falls.]

I'm not here to be entertained. I'm here to help you stand right and get you a towel so you can dry off. Or do you want to catch cold?

Sorry about repeats, not sure how to get everyone to notice the post

[yamato_orochi]

[The child wouldn't take the hint. Orochi would have swatted him away were he his true height. Still...it was too un dignifying to be sprawled helpless on the cold floor like this. With reluctance, the now human beast took a hold of the boy's hand. His arms he could partly operate at least, though he treated them more like his old heads. It would take effort, but with the boy's help he was able to stand on his legs. Before he could speak, a towel was thrusted in front of him. Another human. Then another, and then... something that looked human. Why was he suddenly amassing a crowd around him? His cherry eyes glared before he took the towel. The process of drying his body was awkward to say the least. In his work he failed to notice the strange device fall from his robes. Shaped like the starfish that clung to Nippon's shores, yet made of metal. Were he paying attention, he might have questions about it.]

Why do all of you insist to gather around me? What have I done to merit your unwelcome generosity?

[Well, this was certainly a day full of surprises. He chuckled a bit under his breath. Well, this was the first time someone had actually appeared in the fountain instead of the ground, but... Geez, he'd been around Alucard too long.

Shaking his head, he grabbed a towel from a nearby store and walked over to the strange man. That scent...]

Here, take it. [Riku muttered, extending the towel to the soaked other. But, thinking on it later...] You alright?

[limitless_land]

[Because the outsiders here were either idiots, curious, a mixture of the two, or sinful as the darkness itself.

Riku being of the curious and sinful of the three choices waited as the other--hmm, there was something odd about this one; such darkness--dried off. He noticed the SFC fall to the ground, but decided to point it out just a little later.]

Because you, like us, are now sealed within this prison surrounded by water. Outsiders such as ourselves tend to stick together in groups.

[Simple, to the point. He wasn't about to let this one have any time to think that he'd be any different from the rest. Though that scent... Riku chuckled, picking up the SFC that had fallen to the ground.]

And I believe you dropped this.

[yamato_orochi]

[A prison. So then he was not dead? Worse than death, then. Trapped at the bottom of the ocean of Nippon, trapped as a human. The towel was dropped carelessly when Orochi reached for the device, grasping it as if his hands were mouths taking a bite]

...This is nothing of mine. How do you know so much?

[As the boy spoke, there was something about him. Something familier, something... dark. Perhaps there was a means to gain some actual power in this new land.]

[onceageneral]

[Have a battle stained innocent of sorts, Snake. She approached with mild caution, over hearing the flesh portion.] Were you not of flesh before? [Her tone quiet as she looked him over.] Welcome to Vatheon. We can find a towel over a close by shop if you don't wish to remain wet.

[scaresplants]

Oooh. What did we have here? A man stepped out of the alley nearby, his sunglasses glinting in the daylight and a smirk on his lips.

"Good afternoon. Newcomer, right?" Crowley said, stopping to stand right next to the guy. Oh, he could feel who this guy really was. Snakes always knew who their kind were, even underneath different guises.

[scaresplants]

"Generosity? My, you must think so highly of me already. No, I'm just here to go and laugh at your face, that's all."

Crowley's smile was almost reaching his ears, now. "Or maybe I just came because you're the snakiest thing I have ever seen around here. And, being me, that is really saying something."

[yamato_orochi]

[So he wasn't wrong in his initial thought. This creature was more than human. It could see past this prison of what Orochi had become under Vatheon's hold. Yet his mockery was not welcome. The former beast simply regarded the thing a moment longer]

And who are you, arrogant one?

[to_takamagahara]

[/gives in

Huh. That's an oddly familiar smell. Icky appetizers and 8 Purification Sake?

Ammy approaches!]

[yamato_orochi]

[Humans. The less often he had to deal with them, the better. That's all there was to it. If he wasn't going to get his answers here, than Orochi was going to find a place where he could. If he could learn how to operate these accursed legs. There was a pause though. Something was on the wind... a mingling scent of wild flowers and decay... it was her! The wild goddess, she was here?!]

Did you get the icons I sent? :>

[to_takamagahara]

[Expecting to see a really big, ugly set of faces, seeing a human is... WELL.

Hello sir have you seen a big hideous monster around here, I seem to have lost him.]

Not yet, have to look around

[yamato_orochi]

[It was her! Amaterasu, the goddess that took all that he obtained!]

O wild god of ruins.

[It was always a pleasure to remind the creature of her lost homeland.]

Is it by your divinity that I've been reduced to this pitiful existence? I will make you pay dearly for what I must bare through!

[But how would he be able to do this? He was human. He had not his fangs, or his size, and how one used magic in this form was beyond Yamato no Orochi. this did nothing but enfuriate the snake in disguise.]
