[The video feed flicks on and then off, a brief vision of a woman with black hair in her face. It does this a few more times before the feed holds steady. Unlike many newcomers to the city, she doesn’t seem upset at being in this strange new location. And despite the fact that she’s sitting in the fountain, she’s not wet.

However what she is, while not wet, is wearing just a towel.]

So... this isn’t my home is it? It’s some other world, right? Tell me this is right, please. Please.... I really want to be the one who’s somewhere else for once.

[There's a pause.]

And if anyone could be so kind, could they happen to bring along some clothing. I was on my way to the bath and...

[She grins, not needing to say any more.]


Action

[Catch the betowel'd Laruna at the fountain, because she's not going anywhere just yet.]

[Don't mind him, whistling along, minding his own business, as he every-so-casually strolls past the fountain and--

Oh hey. Pretty much naked girl in that fountain. Cool.

Ergo, he stops.]

Hi! Aren't you cold?

[water_wine_wizard]

[Oh. Hello!

She smiles at him and tucks some hair behind an ear.]

Not yet. But if you mean from the water, I'm keeping it away from me.

[unflagging]

I meant from being in a towel out here in February.

Re: [action;]

[water_wine_wizard]

Oh that. Yes.

I really could use some clothes.

[Not quite sure what February is, but whatever.]

[valentineluke]

It's still winter here.

Annnnndddd what's your point, darling?

Re: Video

[valentineluke]

Hypothermia.

[Brief pause.]

No. Really?!

Because, you know sweetheart, you're not telling me anything I don't already know.

[As there are plenty of donated clothes at the Welcome Center, rather than respond to this entry, Yin gathers some up, including a jacket, and heads to the fountain. Of course, size is another matter.]

[She arrives and, calm as she does everything, she approaches, holding the clothes.]

Welcome to the City. It's exact location is unknown, though it is theorized to be another world from the one most arrivals are accustomed to.

Re: action?

[water_wine_wizard]

Oh! Thank you!

[She takes the clothes and starts looking through them for something that fits.]

I'm certainly going on the theory it isn't one. We don't have these thingamawhatchits back home.

[moonlitrequiem]

[Yin just watches Laruna sift through them.]

Devices?

[water_wine_wizard]

Devices. Yes, all right.

[She finds a shirt and pulls it on.]

I can bring you clothes. Or, you're not far from the Welcome Center. They have some, too.

Re: video:

[water_wine_wizard]

What's the welcome center? Or even where is it?

Re: video:

[charring]

Hold on. [And a text message appears with information on the Welcome Center, including it's whereabouts.]

I'm Charlie. Welcome to the City.

Re: video:

[water_wine_wizard]

[Oh. Spiffy!]

Hello Charlie. I'm Laruna.

Bit dreary of a place.

[conglomeration]

[Zelgadis doesn't answer network calls usually, but he does have a tendency to roam about the City with some regularity. And much as the sight of a nearly undressed woman would normally send him fleeing with dramatic fluster, he's not about to leave anyone to fend for herself in a place like this.]

[Removing his hooded cloak in a place like this leaves his slate-grey stone skin very much visible, but he doesn't have anything else to offer. He approaches the girl with his cloak in hand, eyes averted as he offers it to her.] Here. [The whole thing would be terribly chivalrous if he wasn't blushing (ever seen a stone blush? It's quite obvious) and very obviously shy about it.]

action;

[water_wine_wizard]

[He's blushing! It's adorable. Laruna's not at all self-conscious of her body and the only reason why she's bothered is because it's getting cold.

Still she takes it with quiet grace and dignity before swirling it around her shoulders in a semi-dramatic gesture.]

Thank you very much.

action;

[conglomeration]

[He clears his throat slightly, awkwardly.] You're welcome.

[It takes him a second to come up with more to say, but her being covered helps.]

I just got here not long ago, too. This seems a popular place for incoming people.

[huichen]

[...Well. Then. He will not be offering to help her, at all. He will instead be sitting on the edge of the fountain, observing the way the water keeps from her.]

[water_wine_wizard]

[She looks over at him watching her and raises her eyebrows.]

Yes?

[huichen]

I notice you are not wet.

[ :) :) :) ]

[brothertragedy]

M-Madame, Have you been provided with clothes yet?

[Normally, he'd introduce himself first or inquire as to the newcomer's name, but the poor woman just arrived in a towel, so that takes precedent.]

Re: [Video]

[water_wine_wizard]

[Why are people so stuttery about this?]

Yes, I have. Thank you very much for asking.

[Video]

[brothertragedy]

Oh, good... I did nothing to be thanked for. My name is Nobori, by the way.

[Because public nudity, especially in mixed company, is a taboo in many societies nowadays, oh, and also, it can't be comfortable to be standing around, exposed to the elements like tha— wait, or was she?]

... Madame, if I might ask, how is it that you were dry while standing in the fountain?
