Warnings: none

[ So this was how it felt. To be robbed from your world, thrust into another, one with a slew of problems, none of which you were exactly prepared to help with. She couldn't say it was a good feeling. Finally, she could relate.

Confused and lost in a city unfamiliar, Yuna takes to wandering the courtyards in a sort of trancelike state, her mind too detached from everything right now to actually pay attention to where she's going. It felt good, if she was being honest with herself. Her mind was drained of all her worries and apprehensions for a good while, and she had reached a state of mindfulness; a state she hadn't experienced in a while. It was meditative.

In her wanderings, she heard whisper of bombings, attacks, strange masked individuals. If she'd been fully attentive, these thoughts would worry her. Maybe even convince her to ask around, see if there was anything she could do to help. Surely, if there were bombs, there would be injured people.

For now, though, she's settled on a nice, calm fountain, staring as the water streams out of it. So far, the water seemed like the only familiar thing here to her; the only thing natural. This city was laden with machina-like devices, and it was a little unnerving to say the least. ]

Comments

[emptysword]

[To be honest; he was just wandering around- trying to get a feel for this place as it's just too different from the world he came from. Of course he noticed that there's a certain aspect that makes it similar to his home, but he's not exactly sure on what it is.

...Nonetheless, it was at this point that he noticed that there's someone just staring at a fountain.

...]

...Uh, hey. You okay?

[Without even thinking; his mouth moved.]

[failtsuninari]

[Tenjou recently arrived here as well. Even for someone as old as him, it was a bit overwhelming as learned more about this new world. He spent the last few hours wandering aimlessly and found himself at this fountain.

He wasn't expecting anyone else there but he's mildly surprised. ]

Ah, sorry. I didn't think anyone was out here.

[moondances]

[ it took her a moment to realize the voice was directed at her. After looking around, her eyes focus in on a red haired boy around her age, and her face cracks into a small smile. ]

O—Oh, yes, I am alright. Just.. confused.

[moondances]

[ It takes Yuna a moment to feel the presence of another person near. When she does, she lifts her head, peering over as if she's seen a ghost.

It takes her a moment to finally open her mouth. ]

Oh, no, it's.. it's alright. [ She motions to the fountain, as if inviting him to sit if he wants. ] Are you new here as well?

[emptysword]

Well, I'm pretty sure everyone is whenever they're sent to a new place.

[She looked foreign enough, clothing-wise, so it's pretty clear that she's confused about this place, right...?]

[failtsuninari]

[He gives a nod and eventually sits down.]

Yeah, just got here myself. I'm still trying to let everything about this world sink in. It's rather...different from my home world.

[moondances]

Ah, you're new here, too?

[ Almost blurted out; she's just really surprised, and maybe a little elated, to meet someone else not from here. ]

[moondances]

It's very different from my own..

[ the whole 'urbane machina city' thing is throwing her off quite a bit. ]

What is your world like?

[failtsuninari]

Same here. It's quite different from mine too.

It's not as high-tech as here. Guess you can we're more...magic and mystical based in that case.

[moondances]

High-tech? [ give her a second. ] Oh.. you mean the machina.

I think.. my world used to be very similar to this. But not anymore.

[emptysword]

Yeah, I am. I just arrived here a few hours ago, I think?

[There's a nod from him as he gauged her reaction; she seemed a bit surprised by this fact, and that's sort of a good thing.

Right...?]

[failtsuninari]

Used to? [He tilts his head but then a thought comes to him.]

Oh right. I didn't even introduce myself. I'm Tenjou.

[moondances]

I think it's the same for me.

[ at least, she thought it had been a few hours. She'd lost track of time. ]

Was your world.. anything like this?

[emptysword]

Sort of, it certainly wasn't this advanced, but the basic technologies are pretty similar to mine.

[He scratched his chin as he thought about this. He sure hopes that cooking hasn't changed much in this era.

Otherwise he might be thinking of a culinary takeover instead.]
