(Awakening)

[Awakening here is like a dream. But was it? Takumi doesn't recall. Everything is fuzzy. Sliding out of what he thought was a bed, his feet landing in the water with a splash was a sobering wake up call.

Where is he? What is this? Call him biased, but he can easily assume this is where Nohr creates those monsters. If that's true, he's alone. Neither Hoshidan, Nohrian or faceless. He finds his divine weapon, Fujin Yumi, and begins his search before things go to hell any faster.]

(Action - All over Genessia)

Hinata? Oboro? ... Hinoka! Sakura! ... Ryoma! Brother! Sisters! Where are you?!

[As if being dressed the way he is, he calls for the names of his retainers and siblings. He's impatient, of course.

This strange city doesn't look anything like Hoshido, nor does it fit his mental image of Nohr. Takumi can be found going around the city, scanning the surroundings, dodging metal, horseless wagons, and wondering how people can be so rude to a Prince. Sometimes, Takumi will stop somewhere away from people to shoot a wind arrow from the Fujin Yumi straight up into the air. If any of his siblings are here, they could recognize his arrows and easily find him.

Or it may attract someone a little less savory. Leave it to the hot-headed third son of Hoshido to be, well...reckless. His focus is getting back to his family, and uncover this possible Nohrian plot.]

Comments

[youfool]

[What an unusual sight, seeing a bolt of white shoot into the sky before dissipating entirely, like a reverse shooting star. He just had to track down the source of that.

Thence enters the clown.]

Hello, sir! By chance have you seen the source of some silvery projectile headed skyward?

[tsundebro]

[Takumi sighs. A entertainer of some sort? Noooot who he was hoping for, but at least he isn't annoyingly dark clothed.

Still, can't be too careful. Takumi isn't readying the bow, but isn't holding it away, either.]

That would be me. Who are you?

[youfool]

[Doesn't he know it's rude to ask for a name without giving yours first? Some prince.]

Ted, pleasure to meet you. How about a name in return, eh?

Action

[thinksofbunnies]

[He wasn't Hoshidan, but he would still recognize those arrows when he saw them. Spending enough time with them in the war, Xander would recognize any of the divine weapons. Walking towards where he'd seen the arrow last, he found the Hoshidan prince nearby.]

Prince Takumi?

Action

[tsundebro]

[When he heard the voice, Takumi hoped it was Ryoma. But something still felt off. Turning, he finds serious bad news. Fujin Yumi comes to life, ready to go should Takumi need it.]

You... Xander.
You're behind this, aren't you?

Action

[thinksofbunnies]

[ Xander stops when he sees Fujin Yumi come to life. He knows that's a warning sign. He doesn't reach for Siegfried, strapped at his waist, instead, crossing his arms and keeping his hands visible. ]

No. I just woke up here, and I'm probably just as confused as you are.

[drownindarkness]

[You know who's clearly the best person for a Hoshidan to see on waking up in a new whacky world? Clearly, a Nohrian prince. One who's surprisingly wearing something other than his armor, but he's still carrying Brynhildr. He's not paying any mind as he's in his recent routine of a trip to the library, but of course that arrow caught his attention. And, of course, he sees the source.

Of course this place brought a Hoshidan. It had to be that Hoshidan, no less. And things were going so well.]

I guess I should have suspected this would've happened eventually.

[He's not even directly addressing Takumi. He would have rathered to skip this confrontation entirely, but this guy just had to be between Attleton and the library.]

[tsundebro]

[While Takumi scans for any of his siblings, he spots someone still recognizable. And it's one of the last people he wanted to see. But what did throw him off was the lack of that black armor Takumi came to know so prevalent on the Nohrian children.]

You!
You and your ilk are behind this, aren't you?

[drownindarkness]

[It's okay, Takumi. Leo didn't want to see you either. Despite that, Leo's posture is calm and collected like usual.]

Had you paid even the slightest bit of attention to Weiss Schnee's words, you would be already aware that Nohr isn't "behind" anything. But you didn't listen to the hologram at all, did you?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

[ Those arrows look dangerous.

They look so dangerous that Yuunagi looked alert, the Umbreon practically growling at the sight while keeping close to the brunette that was her master.

Konoka, to her credit, wasn't quite so alarmed, but was curious and a bit concerned that someone firing magical arrows might cause an accident, even if they were far off from people.

Thus once she saw for certain that someone was firing arrows, she called out. ]

Hey! Excuse me~! Please be cautious when firing magical arrows like that!

[tsundebro]

[A woman? Meh, unarmed so she's likely not an enemy. Still, Takumi isn't going to rule out that she's involved in this Nohrian plot.

But what is that with her? Some breed of Nohrian dog? It's hideous.]

You think me reckless? [Because you'd be correct.] Only enemies of Hoshido need to worry of my Fujin Yumi. I'm Takumi, second son of King Sumeragi of Hoshido. Who are you?

[Then he gestures to the creature with her.]

And what is that?

[im_gonna_heal_u]

Hoshido?

[ It sounds distinctly Japanese. Or at least, some otherworld equivalent. The fact that Takumi doesn't mistake her for one of its residents makes her wonder if he's paid attention to the introduction Weiss gave out.

Well, she does know he's a prince and he's awful rude. ]

My name's Konoka Konoe. I'm a healer. And her name is Yuunagi, [ she gestured to Umbreon, who gave zero fucks about Takumi's opinion of her. ] and she is Momo... [ She gestured to Audino, who was apparently a bit worried over the situation. ] They're both species of creatures known as Pokemon that are native here.

Here being Genessia, not Hoshido.

[memortalized]

[It was seeing one of those arrows that initially got Memo's attention. She is no stranger to the idea of signalling for help that way. While she knows herself to be banished, and forbidden to interact with other demons, she is still curious enough to seek the source.

As she arrives at the location and spots Takumi, the white haired demon gives her head a confused tilt.]

... Excuse me. I seek one who controls the element of wind and shoots signals skyward. Have you seen such a thing?

[tsundebro]

[Well, this is an unusual someone. Takumi can't quite make heads or tails of this one.]

I might have. Who wants to know?

[What a ray of sunshine he is.]

[memortalized]

[Speaking of heads, the wings on her head spread open to show their full size. To Memo, this is a way of formally greeting another person... She folds the wings a moment later, having realize he has none for himself.]

Memo does. Memo is me. [She points to herself,] I have arrived to answer the summons.

iiiiii'm supposed to be on hiatus [Action]

[lazuline]

T-takumi?!

[She'd been shopping for something or other but she forgoes it to hurry over and grab the archer by the arm to pull him out of the way of yet another car. On the sidewalk, please.]

Goodness, I had no idea you were here!

[Action]

[tsundebro]

Wha-?

[And oomph and a WTF later. Takumi was annoyed at the wagon and whoever just yanked him like a ragdoll. But then he saw who it was who yanked him and he eased up significantly.]

Azura? What is this place? Where are the others?

[Action]

[draconixaviarix]

[Just when Takumi was shooting a wind arrow in the air, Hana had spotted that just in time. At first his weapon caught her eye-she'd never seen anything like it..and it had light to it! And light arrows! It was gorgeous!

Balancing the two bags in each of her arms, Hana clapped] That is such a beautiful tool! I can just feel the love and energy you have given it~~

[She squeaked, grinning] You're very talented~ But..why at the sky? Did it anger you?

Re: [Action]

[tsundebro]

[When in the.. Who is this woman? The compliments are much appreciated though, but he can't help being an ass all the same.]

Yes, I'm angry at the sky. How dare it be so blue.

[Deadpanned, monotone sarcasm. Moving on.]

Can I help you or something?

[Action]

[allforthem]

[..Okay but when he was shouting on HER BEACH on HER LIFEGUARD WATCH, she squinted and shouted back]

You know, I heard that if you keep shouting their names allover the world, you might find them!

[Sayaka chuckled to herself]

Re: [Action]

[tsundebro]

[Well, certainly no one he knows who likes to be around water is here.
But that girl. So noisy...]

Do you mind shutting up for awhile?

[And he's just going to start walking away. She's not going to be helpful, so why should Takumi stay?]

[2whitelights]

Seeing the bolt of light shooting into the night sky, Ahsoka broke into a run. Whatever caused it, it didn't seem like the kind of technology she'd seen since crossing back from Nova City into Genessia. It didn't fit - and if it didn't fit, it might mean something interesting.

Drawing nearer, she hears a man calling out for his family - clearly someone else like her, torn from everything meaningful. Since everyone she's seen but Grievous has been human, and humans who'd never seen a Togruta before, she stops, spreads her arms, hands open, and asks gently, "can I help?"

[tsundebro]

[The voice sounded human enough, but the person herself? Forgive Takumi for not seeing a Togruta before.

The Fujin Yumi was quick to come to life, notched and ready to fire. What kept Takumi from taking aim was the fact she does look more human than Faceless.]

What is this?! Another Nohrian construct? Who are you?

Action

[pureheartedprincess]

[Elise heard him call out and shoot off arrows rather than see him. And while part of her thought that she probably shouldn't go near him....But then she figured he was probably as scared as she was when she got here, and so she decided to follow his arrows to him.]

Prince Takumi? I don't think it's a great idea to be running around so recklessly. You could get hurt.

Re: Action

[tsundebro]

[Oh great, what is it now?

Turning to the source, it was none other than Nohr's youngest Princess. He sighs, but doesn't raise Fujin Yumi. Looks like Takumi isn't that mean.]

And why do you care? Your brothers certainly didn't care about the Hoshidans they murdered.

[Nevermind.]
