🌙 First Eclipse

[tsukihito]

🌙 The Arrival - Genessia City [action]

[It was early morning when this stark white traveler emerges from the Bay. Soaked to the bone and disoriented enough to ignore the hologram, this young man with white fluffy ears wanders down the street aimlessly clutching a green amulet in one hand dragging and a sword in the other. This disheveled creature wins a few odd looks from pedestrians since he's mumbling to himself.]

They stole it... [He grumbles under his breath with every lumbering step.] They lied. They stole it.

[The man comes to a slow halt once he reaches the other end of the street near the crosswalk. He simply stands at the crosswalk, his red eyes downcast. So perfectly still, he lingers there completely unmoving except for the slow rise of his chest. Tsukihito stays this way for what seems to be half of an eternity before suddenly snapping his head back and screaming at the top of his lungs---]

GIVE IT BACK! GIVE IT ALL BACK!

[Once done, the fluffy eared traveler collapses. His sword clanks noisly against the concrete and the amulet thankfully doesn't shatter.]

🌙 In Remeberance [video]

[Looking slightly better than earlier, Tsukihito appears on screen fully dried and a little more lucid. The tips of his fuzzy white ears are still wet though making him look more like a lynx than a kitsune. It's kind of cute but be damned if he thinks so. Tsukihito hates to be called "cute" even if it's true.]

Why was I summoned back here? [The fox boy demands with a rather grave expression.] What do you want from me!? Return me at once!

Go pray to your foreign gods. I do not hear your prayers.

[He seems to sulk a little when he says that last bit. It's almost as if he's disappointed in himself.]

I'm naught else but mortal now. Go pray to someone else, heathens.

[The urge to roll his eyes is strong but he let's her brag to her heart's content. However, he does show some interest once she mentions how much she enjoys her new life, That definitely won his attention.]

Why do you prefer this life? Why are you so content?

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[And it's the perfect way to get her from actually hunting him down. She goes from bored and disinterested into happy and smiling within seconds when he asks why she's so content.]

I found zhings und people I vas lacking before. Zhey make me happy und I vouldn't change a thing about zhat.

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

People?

[The kitsune eyes her skeptically, almost as if he doesn't quite believe her. ]

What's so great about having people? Aren't they just in your way?

[This is a sincere question. It's almost like he doesn't understand.]

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

Hardly. It takes zhe right kind of people to love a monster like me und I treasure every single one of zhem.

[Trust her, at one point she might have thought the same...]

I haf people zhat vill haf my back und protect me vhen I need it. People vho I vould kill for und protect. It iz...a beautiful zhing.

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

Curious.

[Very curious. Tsukihito wants to ask more questions but he doesn't want to seem awkward. So instead, he asks the following.]

What's your name? You're in the presence of divinity but will not introduce yourself.

[He needs to learn how to ask that nicer.]

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[He really does. Rip rolls her eyes.]

Sorry, I don't give my name out to rude little foxes zhat can't even ask nicely.

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

[He grumbles under his breath at that answer. A little bit of manners might get him somewhere here. Tsukihito forces himself to smile and bat his eyes.]

Fine. May I know your name?

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[Faint snort. He looks ridiculous attempting that, but, she will accept his attempt at politeness at least.]

Now zhat's better~. See, you get more responses vith honey zhan vinegar.

[Smirk~.]

Rip van Winkle.

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

...Right.

[He squints his eyes a little in annoyance. Being nice doesn't sit well with him but if he must, he'll cope.]

Rip Van Winkle? [He arches his brow.] Odd name.

You may call me "Tsukihito".

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

My name iz no veirder than yours. So, just call me Rip like everyone else does.


Fine, zhen hello und velcome Tsukihito

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

I suppose.

[Why is she looking at him like that? Was it wrong to state that? He frowns.]

Thank you. Even though this is my second visit, I see Genessia is still hospitable.

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

[Rip's gotten used to strange reactions to her name. So, by now it's more of an annoyance.]

Oh? How long ago vas your first visit?

Re: [Video]

[tsukihito]

I don't know. [He mumbles truthfully.] My...memory feels off.

I know I've been here before but I don't remember when that was.

Re: [Video]

[singinghuntress]

...In ozher vords, quite zome time ago.

[Surprisingly, she doesn't... seem to be taken off guard by that. Rip's used to people coming and going like that from worlds like this.]

Vat's zhe last thing your remember here?

[tsukihito]

Correct.

[He nods in confirmation.]

All I can remember is my time in Fayren at some clinic. I was...crafting ointments and medicines.

[singinghuntress]

Hm... Vell, I don't often go into Fayren or to clinics zo, you may haf been here und left long before I arrived.

[tsukihito]

Perhaps. I would've recalled meeting and alleged "vampire".

[singinghuntress]

Really. Vell, I'm hardly zhe only one around here.

[She pauses for a moment.]

Vho vas zhe guardian of zhe Everglade last time you vhere here?

[tsukihito]

The Guardian of Everglade?

[Tsukihito pauses for awhile as he tries to remember. It's been awhile.]

...Grell? A woman named Grell, I believe. She wore all red but she just took office.

[singinghuntress]

Zhen.. I'd say about a year. She just left office.

[tsukihito]

She did!?

[His eyes widen with great surprise. So, it's been about a year--]

I'm...shocked. I wasn't aware that time even moved.

[singinghuntress]

Zhat tends to be zhe case.

[She may have a bit of experience in this, can he tell?]

Vhen I arrived here, zhe people I knew had already been here three years. However, for me, I saw zhem just zhe other day. It made zhings a little... chaotic until ve figured zhings out.
