Who: Everyone!
When: Day 5, throughout the day
Where: Anywhere in or around Port Perplex
What: A mingle in which it's rainy all day...

[you may or may not have been involved in that labyrinth earlier! you might be a newcomer! regardless, it's an odd day in Port Perplex; you see, it's raining. nothing too heavy, just a constant, steady drizzle. if you drop by the Weapon's n More Shop, you'll be able to buy from a large selection of umbrellas—just watch out for any that might have holes. on the other hand, if you wanna feel creative, the Flower Shop is selling giant leaf/clover/flower umbrellas of different kinds, too—you'll be paying top dollar for those, though.

throughout the day you might come across puddles, which is natural... but these puddles are a strange anomaly—when you walk by them, you'll witness a moment from your past being reflected from this puddle, on show for anyone who might pass by and witness it. it could have been something that happened just this morning, something that happened yesterday, something that happened years ago... it doesn't seem picky.

but thanks to this rain—or maybe the labyrinth—the curious will find many plants sprouting from the now fertile, and no longer cracked, soil of Tier 2. it's hard to say what they'll become, but they're currently small, cute and green!

so... what are you up today? the usual? arriving? avoiding puddles? searching for every one of these little sprouts?]

((THE PUDDLES: if characters stomp/run through them, the scene will stop! ...but the character who ran through it will now experience the feeling that the memory-owner felt in that very depiction—the memory-owner can also run/stomp their own puddle and relive those feelings. if that's not your cup of tea, though, you can play with it however you want!))

[ With the way he's looking around-- ]

Are you looking for something? [ In that case, he can help! ]

[loveinvein]

[ Shakes his head, no, then makes pointed glances towards Yuu. His quietness and the awkwardness of this situation could almost be taken for shyness. ]

[handle]

[ And that's exactly how Sorey takes it. Well, no harm in making some conversation, right.... Maybe he could learn more through this person, too. ]

--Ah, you two are together? That's great, then!

[loveinvein]

[ Stares at Sorey like, a) Why are you talking to me, b) Why are you talking to Yuu, and c) How would you know it's great? ]

[handle]

--Is this weird? [ he's looking at him like it is! ]

[loveinvein]

[ Mikaela tilts his head, begrudgingly admitting to himself that waiting for the problem to go away clearly isn't going to happen. Not when Yuu is engaging in it so enthusiastically. Mika would drag him away, but he knows Yuu would just cause a scene, and he doesn't want to create any more trouble in this world than necessary. ]

In a matter of speaking.

[handle]

Well, if you two are going somewhere--

[ Don't let him stop you. That wasn't his intention.... ]

[loveinvein]

That's up to Yuu-chan.

[ Who is very clearly not going anywhere in a hurry. ]

[handle]

[ He looks to Yuu, and then to the other. Well, he didn't seem like he was going to go anywhere, so-- ]

Yuu, huh? It's nice to meet the both of you.

[ Oh right, he should introduce himself too, huh... ]

I'm Sorey.

[loveinvein]

Mikaela. Mikaela Hyakuya.

[ He doesn't offer his hand or say anything more. ]

[handle]

Mikaela.... [ He repeats the name, wanting to memorize it. ]

Did the two of you just get here, too?

[loveinvein]

That's right. What of it?

[handle]

Huh? Well, if possible, I wanted to know as much about here as I could. [ It's not everyday you get to come to a place like this...

[loveinvein]

Honestly... how do you expect anyone as new as you to know anything more?

[handle]

[ Sheepish laughter ] Well, that's why I asked before.

[loveinvein]

Don't bother. In the first place, I'm not interested in interacting with humans.

[ RUDE. But true. That'll save them plenty of time. ]

[sintimental]

Mika, will you lay off of that?

[ IF I HAD A NEWSPAPER. I WOULD WHACK YOU WITH IT. ]

[handle]

Ah, it's alright, but--

"Not human." Sorry, but could you be a seraph?

[ HE DOESN'T LOOK LIKE A MONSTER FROM HIS WORLD, SO. ]

-- [ he laughs a quietly ] Well, I can leave you alone, too.

[loveinvein]

[ Responds sharply before Sorey may in fact back off, ignoring Yuu, because a certain word DEFINITELY caught his attention. ]

What do you know about Seraphs?

[handle]

Eh? Well-- it's just that I've been reading about seraphs since I was little. [ And living with them... Is that what this person is, then? ]

[loveinvein]

In what sort of books?

[handle]

[ pulls out the Big Book of Legends that he alwyas has with him, presenting it to Mika proudly. ]

Here!

[loveinvein]

[ ... looks at Sorey oddly, since all things considered he wasn't expecting such cooperation. He takes the book carefully, as if it's some kind of trap, and flicks it open. ]

[handle]

[ For now, Sorey will let Mikaela look at the book, nudging it slightly forward in order to let him know he could take it from his hadnds. ]

[loveinvein]

[ Ttttthis is weird. Still, he does as much. ]

... don't think this means I trust you, human.
