001 || Action

[sangreine]

[Between one moment and the next, a cocoon has appeared in the zoo. It's in a tropical place, humid and sticky like its own gossamer surface. A latticework of support-threads keep it held upright and inside is the veiled figure of a humanoid creature, visible because of a red-tinted illumination from within. It pulses softly, as if the entire structure is alive.]

[Animals or insects that happen to be nearby might scatter at an unseen, unheard queue. After a pause it becomes apparent why as there's a shift, the cocoon going dark. A creak, then a fracture, taking mere moments to cobweb across the entirety. The first crack brings with it a rush of discolored, viscous fluid which breaks off jagged bits of shell. A delicate, pale hand appears, the arm and shoulder following as the creature inside slides free, and the lithe figure of a nude young lady falls out onto the ground. Her impossibly long black hair snakes over her back and legs, barely covering her prone form.]

[Her thoughts can not form words -- she has no language -- but her instinct fully active. Survive, it tells her. Move. And so her limbs twitch, shaking as if in disuse. She stirs, but does not lift her head.]


((OOC: Saya Otonashi intro! She has no memories of who she is, and can't really talk or do much, so please halp? Anyone who can sense vampires/superhumans is welcome to be pinged if they wish!))

[She likes touch, he notes. Maybe it helps when you don't understand things? Or she's just affectionate? Or both. He could see why it would be important, though, lost in a strange place like this, unable to really communicate.]

[It occurs to him, only then, he should speak a little slower. Maybe take out the unimportant words.]

Yeah.... He burnt down some of the forest. Trees. He killed them. At least it wasn't people. [That Setsuna KNOWS of.]

[sangreine]

[She seems to follow the simplified version slightly better, watching Setsuna as he speaks, pausing when he's through to process it. She frowns, it doesn't sound good. Killed especially bothers her.]

...Bad. [Yes, that word seems to fit. Even if she's not entirely sure of the meaning.]

[beyourarmy]

Yeah. It was sad for the forest. The trees. The animals.

[He squeezes her hand, gently.] It probably looked how Karl feels inside. [Even if she can't understand it all now, he figures she will, in time. And it's the first time he's talked much about it.]

[sangreine]

Sad. [Sad and bad sound alike, there has to be a reason for that. Both of them make her chest ache just a little.]

[She looks at Setsuna, examining his expression.] Sad? [Are you sad too? Don't be sad.]

[beyourarmy]

[Slowly, he gets closer to her and nods his head.] Yes. [His voice is low. Then he puts a finger to his lips.] But shhh. That'll be our secret.

[Then he gives her a better smile.]

[sangreine]

[She puts her own finger to her lips as well, imitating the gesture, understanding. Don't say that he's sad.] Okay.

[So they'll just have to focus on happy things, then. So she gives Setsuna her brightest smile.] No sad.

[beyourarmy]

[He has to laugh, though it's light and soft. Amused.]

Right, no sad. It's kinda hard to be sad around you, anyway.

[sangreine]

[Oh, give it time Setsuna dear. Saya looks extremely pleased at that, and laughs too, light and airy, like there's not a worry on her mind.]

[Then she gives a very gentle tug. They have a date with the sea!]

[beyourarmy]

Alright, alright. [He chuckles, and starts leading the way to where they're supposed to meet up with Charlie.] You need to meet Charlie. [Sea after, it's a promise.]
