first dia ❈ uh-oh who let her near the stove─

[Voice]

Where...?

[The voice seems to go quiet, save a few names being muttered under her breath. Though the only two that may even be remotely familiar to anyone is "Chie" and "Naoto-kun" before she notices the book her hand was lying on earlier. She seems a little hesitant when she picks it up.]

─ Where am I? [She seems to pause a moment to thinking.] I know this can't be the inn, so...

Um, excuse me but... can anyone hear me?

[...This new girl doesn't seem to have realized that the journal is a communicator.]

[Action]

[People in Community Housing Building 4? There is a confused-looking teenage girl wearing a new feather gown in the kitchen of the third floor. You may want to steer her away from the cooking supplies... and fast. That is, if she hasn't begun wandering around on her own already. Feel free to spot her elsewhere! ~~enjoy the nightmares, souji-kun.~~]

~~We won't, promise! :|~~

Souji. Souji, please. You should know the drill by now. Actually, the fact that he had indeed seen her before um... well, there is a reason there is not a skillet aimed right for the area his head is nearby. After all, she does have deadly aim...

She peeks from behind the counter when he apologizes. Yukiko's quiet for a moment, standing up completely again and half-using the pan to hide herself. Honestly, she can't out of clear conscience stay mad at him for something like this. Especially after everything they've gone through. So instead, she's just... going to walk up right behind him for a moment and lightly bop him upside the head with the pan. That was for not warning her ~~jerk~~. You know how self-conscious she is.]

...It's okay. I didn't exactly warn you, either. [a beat, and uh] ...But where exactly are we? What's going on?

And could you... maybe help me find some other clothes?

[OTL]

Oh! Sorry, it's an honorific. Like how "Mr." or "Miss" is used in English.

[Someone be glad for her high test scores and thus knowing that?]

...Molasses? [Um, wha-? Yeah... she's going to get confirmation from her friends, later. Good try, though!

Still, that's kind of too close to home. The kidnapping part. Give her a moment to process before she boils over?]

...Experiments? [Okay who does she have to burn. :|]

[~~Good. 8[~~

He derped, okay? ;_; It was especially bad only a few minutes ago thanks to a dent in his common sense. Granted, last he checked, people tend to show up in the forest first, so can you blame him for relying on what he remembers of the place? orz ...Still, he rubs his head a little once he gets solid steel lightly dinging him in the head. Well deserved, really, after his screwup. orz

Of course, that last request doesn't go unheard... he straightens himself out and steps aside so she can pass. It's the least he could do.]

...I'll explain on the way. It's a long story.

[Well to be fair, it wasn't exactly the first time she had... but no, that probably wouldn't be a good topic starter.]

No, they haven't... ['There's a guide?'] May I see it, please?

[Souji you have been around her too long if you have derped this badly- Then again, this kind of explains the hot springs incident pretty well. Also nope, apparently not. They just decided to troll you instead with "Yukiko in the kitchen" jokes. Also all of the awkward. orz

She nods faintly... putting the pan down when she notices something yellow on the counter.]

Hm? [She looks at it, then blinks... This was-]

Okay. Lead the way, Souji.

[... She's just going to hold onto that yellow hair accessory, okay.]

[A little too well, if you ask him. He screwed up the time. ...Also yes, so much awkward, and derping on both their parts... OTL

He's still facing away from her, so he doesn't notice at all; all he knows for sure is that he'll be following her out as he takes those steps towards the door. It isn't long before he actually opens his mouth to explain everything.]

...This place we're in? It's called Luceti. ...You're one of the Malnosso's newest 'additions' to the enclosure.

[...Eheheheh. Funny you should mention that, uh... >> << >>;; Yeah, she's going to keep that one a secret for a little while longer.

She listens as they walk, the names not ringing any bells at all when she turns her head slightly to look at him. It's obvious she's perplexed, so one thing at a time. 'Luceti?']

Malnosso? [And 'enclosure'? That was an odd way of saying something... and she's fairly certain she doesn't like the implications, either.]

Of course. [Rei links the the guide]

My name is Rei Hino, by the way. What's yours?

[He'll catch on eventually. Right now, getting the important bits out of the way was a priority above everything else...

He wouldn't want her fretting over the details she doesn't have. Hope you're in the mood for a bit of an information dump; Souji's got a doozy for you, Yukiko.]

...They're the ones keeping us here. I haven't had the 'chance' to experience it for myself, [And he uses the word 'chance' very loosely.] but I've seen people being kidnapped and being put back inside a week or two later. [He also had the misfortune of getting assailed by a blonde person of mass destruction the first time he got dragged here...and that's about as blank as his memories get.]

They often came back wrong.

[Right... until then, lips. sealed. To be honest, it was probably lucky that she came here from when she did. Otherwise She'd likely be a little slower since it's been two months since a certain fight where all hope was nearly lost.]

Keeping us...? [Yes, she is repeating to make sure she has it right. The way that Souji is wording things is a little worrisome as well, and that much is apparent.]

...What do you mean? [Souji. Souji, what.]

[...He cradles his head when she asks. There's a subtle undercurrent of frustration in his voice she might pick up on...and it quickly grows as he continues mulling over what he can still remember of the village.]

...Held captive, is more like it. As for the people they take away?

They were experimented on before they were returned.

[At first, she thinks he's kidding. It's a silly thought, really. After all... he wasn't the kind to joke... about... this...]

... ... ...

[...Oh. Oh.

He should remember this look well. Though she's only given it only a small handful of times. It's pretty close to the one she gave those reporters, Adachi, that goddess,and now-]

Why would they...

[-- her hand closes even more tightly around the yellow scrunchie in its grasp as they walk.]

What gives anyone the right to do that to others?

[A small sigh, and a shake of his head. He recognizes the fury behind those irises all too well...the memories of the few times she showed it never fail to return to him. His eyebrows furrow, and his expression turns just that bit more grim as he goes on.

He didn't like saying it, but it was the bitter truth he'd stumbled on in Luceti.]

I can't remember if they actually gave any valid reasons for all these experiments, but if they did...they're only deluding themselves. The only good thing is that they seem to wear off after a couple of weeks. Beyond that...there isn't much good that can come from being kidnapped...

[...His bitterness reaches another high.] ...Nor is there any way to avoid it, as far as I've seen.

Ooooh, okay. I get it.

[Well Sora's test scores are probably just about average.]

Yeah, they're a bad group. They've been doing a lot of bad stuff to the people that they force to live here.

But I don't know much about the experiments other than being told that they do them.

[Luckily it doesn't take Naoto very long to take a look at her journal. Even though she's busy working at the library, she's made sure to check the journal in between her note taking and reading to see if anything is going on that she should know about.

And so there is.

When she flips to this specific entry, she has to stop and stare at it when she hears her name being called by a familiar voice. It isn't until a few seconds after that, that the owner of that voice pops up on the camera.

...Wow...

How... long has it been since she last saw Yukiko? Let's see it's been--a year and a half now, right? Yeah, that's right. That's how long she's been away from home. That realization makes her feel somewhat sad, happy and shocked all at once.

Sad that she's been away from her family and friends for so long. Happy to see Yukiko again after so long. And shocked at the realization that in a year and a half, she hasn't seen any of her friends besides Souji and Rise.]

Yukiko-senpai? Yes, I am able to hear you.

[...Again with others deluding themselves. She isn't sure if that or it being used as an excuse to do horrible things. ...No, she's pretty sure it's both. Either way, she is quite livid. Though it seems to temper down a little]

Even if they did, it's still unforgivable.

[Still, there is something else she has been hesitant to ask. Especially after he admitted what their captors were like.]

... Is there... anyone else here from back home?

[And now Sora knows something new! ~~does he even go to school 8|~~]

I see... so you're as much in the dark as I am.

[Which seems to be okay, considering she smiles faintly afterward (it's evident in her voice, ok). She will burn the others later. He seems to be like an alright kid. :) ]

[...oh! where did her manners go?]

I'm Yukiko Amagi. It's nice to meet you, Hino-san. [She smiles, then goes over the guide entry...]

[...WHAT THE HELL?!

Yeah... She noticed her wings, and she is intimately familiar with what they're a reference to. She makes a face, but keeps reading. Once she's done.]

Thank you for sending me this. Though, I think it may be a lot to take in at once....

Mm-hm. My friends already found me, so I'll be okay from here.

Thank you. [She nods faintly.] My name is Yukiko Amagi. What's yours?

It is, absolutely, Amagi-san.

[Rei sighs heavily and just shakes her head]

If you'd rather, the simple facts are you aren't home. You're in another world, and you're stuck inside some sort of prison enclosure. There is an organization called Malnosso that imprisons us.

That's the...basics, if not the specifics. The guide is rather in depth, and I'd encourage you to try reading it when you're more rested. I didn't intend for you to read it all at once, I just wanted you to know it was there.

[She appreciates it, even though she's still not 100% used to talking to boys-]

I see... Thank you, though. [It seems to have partially worked?]

...snrk. [Hey, it got a laugh out of her?] Y-yeah, I think it's safe to assume that.

Yes, I have. [...] Thank you, though.

[oh my gooood how many people heard her half-asleep mutterings? /)_(\]

Mmhm. A few of them, actually. [And the guide. Can't forget the guide. All that reading... @@]

voice;

[That kind of Action works too... ...ost, maybe not? IDEK. 8|]

[Video]

[The action is a lie... like her bento for everyone... ;__;]

[This Action speaks the truth, sob.]

[This Action reaches out for it, yeah.]

[Video]

[This Action is seeking to seize on the whole moment, then. :P]

[But is the Action seeking the whole moment to now break away? :P]

[Yes. It's also the Action asking you to let it out. 8|b]

[But, Action... she's the one that wanted to be set free from the dark inner world first... :C]

[Oh, alright, this Action will save her now. 8D]
