001 [Action] - Intro

[childofthefullmoon]

 [ Estelle didn't exactly wake up in the most comfortable position. She was sprawled on the floor of the library, face down. Eventually she started to stir and groaned a little before pushing herself up into a sitting position. Kneeling, with her hands folded in her lap, the girl blinked a few times as she began to look around. This was an unfamiliar place, and yet not unpleasant, since she was surrounded by books. Confusion was written all over her features as she attempted to get her bearings. Just where was she anyway? Her mind was foggy and she was generally disoriented. Not to mention she looked a little silly just sitting there, having absolutely no clue what was going on. It finally occurred to her that she should maybe look around. Standing up, she took a few steps forward and peeked around a bookcase.]

Hello?

[moezama]

[Kazuma has been watching like a creeper Estelle come to in the middle of the library. Really, it was an odd sight, how could you not ignore her? Somewhere, in the back of his head, he vaguely recognize this person...wasn't she a staff here?]

Are you all right? [The voice will come from behind her.]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Hearing a voice behind her, Estelle jumped in surprise and quickly turned around, a hand raised to her mouth.]

Oh!

[After recovering from the initial shock of being startled, she lowered her hand to again fold them both in front of her.]

Oh, um, yes. I'm sorry, I didn't see you there.

[folklorist]

[ Having take over the library for Estelle who has recently since gone it was a bit of a surprise to see someone vaguely similar to her peering around a bookcase. Helios was just in the middle of putting some books away when her question startles him a little. And then he recognizes her oh, derp, she is Estelle good job Helios. ] E-Estelle?

[moezama]

It's all right. I think I should be the one apologizing for startling you. Judging from your new feather clothes, I'm guessing you just arrived.

[Action]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Big green eyes blinked before Estelle decided to emerge from behind the bookcase.]

Yes?

[It took her a moment, but she soon realized she didn't know this person. Her thought process was still running a little slow. Yet he seemed to know her name.]

I'm sorry, but do I know you?

[childofthefullmoon]

My clothes?

[This caused her to finally look down, her eyes going wide when she noticed she wasn't wearing her... usual attire. What... what's going on?! She then looked back up to this person imploringly, with worry and a hint of panic in her eyes.]

I-I don't understand!

[moezama]

Of course not. Don't worry, your clothes are probably in the stores right now and you can pick them up at any time.

[childofthefullmoon]

[Stores? What? Did not compute. Why would her -clothes- be in a store? It made absolutely no sense. And her confusion was obvious as she just stared at this strange man. But then one very important question sprang to her mind.]

W-where am I?

[moezama]

[He loves making things worse for people]

You're in Luceti. No, I don't know who is responsible for bringing you here and no, you can't leave. It just happens.

Do you have a journal on you?

[childofthefullmoon]

[And of course Estelle falls for it. Bombarded with all of this at once, she again just stared for several moments as she took it in. Luceti, well it was a name, but didn't tell her much. But obviously someone brought her here and she couldn't leave. Overwhelmed, Estelle sank to her knees again and looked down at her hands. The question though, seemed to snap her attention back to the man speaking to her. A journal? Her eyes drifted over to where a book was resting on the floor next to where she had been just a few moments prior. Reaching out, she picked it up.]

This?

[moezama]

[She should be happy he's bothering to explain anything.]

That's it. There's a guide in there somewhere. If you let me have that book for a moment, I'll show it to you.

[childofthefullmoon]

[Inwardly she -is- grateful, she just hasn't realized it yet. In shock and all.

Standing up yet again, she hands the book over to the man.]

Yes, please.

[Her voice is quiet, a little shaken.]

[moezama]

[He takes the book, flips a few pages and than gives it back to her with the page on the guide]

Estelle, right?

[Action]

[crisisrain]

[Raven rarely ever visits the library, in fact the only reason he's here today is to pick up some cocktail recipes books.

He most definitely didn't expect to run into Estelle. That marks the third homeworld resident to suddenly show up again. He's starting to think something suspicious is going on.]

Hey, Estelle? Is that you?

[childofthefullmoon]

[Taking the book back, Estelle looks down and scans the first few portions of the guide. What she reads practically causes her head to spin. Malnosso? Experiments? Barrier? It was all too much to take here and now and so she closes the journal again in time to look up and hear her name.]

Yes, but how did you know?

[Action]

[childofthefullmoon]

[By this time Estelle was sitting at a table and pouring over the guide in her journal. She had learned a lot of things, things she didn't really want to learn. However, a familiar voice easily gets her attention and she looks up.]

Raven?

[Immediately she abandons her chair and runs over to latch onto his arm in a sort of hug. Normally she wouldn't do this with the old man, but she's just so happy to see a familiar face!]

Oh Raven, I'm so happy to see you!

[trueknight]

[It's around the time Estelle decides to venture out of the library that Yuri happens to be passing by it. Really, if it weren't for the fact that Estelle's hair color is very noticeable, he probably wouldn't have even realized she was there. But, since he happened to catch it from the corner of his eye, he stops where he is.

... Wow. That really is her. Looks like there really were more people from their world coming in.

As Yuri isn't exactly the "run up to someone" type of guy, he calls out to her. Though, he does take a few steps in the direction of the library before doing so.]

Estelle!

[handmotions]

[Rachel volunteered to be Noel's instructor. That meant that Noel had to keep up his studies and he made regular trips to the library. Suddenly he noticed a girl who called out near the bookcases. May as well say hi.]

Hey there.

[Then he gestured with a friendly smile and hand wave.]

[childofthefullmoon]

[Clutching her journal to her chest, Estelle has left the library to better explore this place called Luceti. That's when she again hears her name, but its from a voice she knows all too well.

There's a thud as her journal hits the ground.

Suddenly she remembers. Yuri falling from Zaude, searching with Repede, and then finding herself here.

Good thing that Estelle is the type to run up to someone, because that's exactly what she does.]

YURI!

[Upon her shout she hastily runs in his direction and unabashedly throws herself at Yuri with intent to hug the living crap out of him.]

[childofthefullmoon]

[A little surprised by the friendly greeting, although pleasantly, Estelle straightened up and turned to the one addressing her.]

Oh, hello.

[The smile and wave was returned with a smile and a tilt of her head.]

[trueknight]

[Yuri did expect Estelle to be excited to see him, but this seemed a little ... different. But it was a familiar kind of different. She's done this before, a little while back in their own world.

... So unless something else happened after trying to fight Duke, she must have come in sometime after Zaude, but before he was found again.

This little bit of introspective aside, though, Yuri manages to brace himself just in time, so Estelle doesn't end up knocking him to the ground. Those wings don't feel too awesome when they smack into things, after all.

But regardless, he just lets her hug him for now. After all, if she's from the point in time he thinks she's from ... well, he'd be a real jerk to not let her.]

... Been a while since you last saw me, huh?

[moezama]

We've met here once before. [He just couldn't remember her name until he read it on her journal]

I know that information seems like a lot to take in, but you'll have plenty of time to read it here.

[childofthefullmoon]

[And she just hangs onto him for several moments, as if he would vanish if she let go. There were no words for how worried she had been. But she knew... she knew he was still alive!]

Yes, nearly a week!

[Healer mode then clicked on, and as she let Yuri go, she started searching him for any kind of injury. After all, last she had known, Yuri had fallen from a height that should have killed him.]

You're not hurt are you? We were so worried!

[childofthefullmoon]

[Estelle tilts her head at this, confusion still apparent.]

We have?

[A pause.]

Yes, I suppose you are right. [Judging from what he'd told her and what little she'd seen in the journal already.]

Um, might I ask your name?

[trueknight]

[... Yep, definitely from after the events of Zaude. Yuri puts his hands up in a sort of "stop" motion as he replies.]

I'm fine. I know what you saw looked bad, but you've got nothing to worry about.
