(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

[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?

Ahsoka recognized the fear and disorientation the strange man felt as akin to her own, just more - expressed. This, she felt she knew how to handle. Of course, it helped to know her lightsabers were hidden in her tunic, an instant away from reach, and doubtless capable of deflecting whatever the man was shooting into the sky.

She approached slowly, hands empty, arms spread wide. "Like you, I have been kidnapped and taken to this strange land. Perhaps - perhaps we can help each other. My name is Ahsoka. What's yours?"

[tsundebro]

[Deflecting magic arrows may result in a refreshing breeze. Not that Takumi would just outright attack a woman if he doesn't know if she's an enemy anyway.

He remains defensive for now.]

I'm Takumi, a Prince of Hoshido. How do I know I can trust you?

[2whitelights]

Ahsoka sits in the street, in a lotus position, empty hands on her knees.

"Come, sit, tell me your story. There's not much I *can* do here but listen, and share what little I know."

[tsundebro]

[Takumi raised an eyebrow. Weird. He glanced behind him for any possible ambush, then back to Ahsoka. Clearly she's not worried of an ambush.

Eventually, he relents and approaches, settling down to a seated position with Fujin Yumi laid across his lap.]

Well... What specifically do you want to know about me?

[2whitelights]

Ahsoka tried to think of a neutral subject. She was deeply curious about the weapon-thing on his lap, but "tell me about your armaments" usually wasn't a good ice-breaker for someone armed and nervous.

"I woke up here just a few days ago, but I was torn from a battle I was going to lose. I heard you calling for your family - tell me about them, maybe?"

[tsundebro]

[It does put Takumi at relative ease to talk about his family. As well as his bow.]

This? This is Fujin Yumi, one of three divine weapons of Hoshido. It chose me to be its wielder. There others are named Raijinto and Yato, my brother has Raijinto.

My mother and father are Ikona and Sumeragi respectively, my step-mother, Mikoto. Mother died when I was little. Father and step-mother were murdered...

My siblings... Ryoma, and Hinoka are my older brother and sister. And then there's Sakura, my younger sister. I had a step-sibling named Corrin...

[Keyword is "had."
Hearing her mention a battle, that is oddly something to have in common.]

I guess you could say that Ryoma is King of Hoshido now, though. Though not officially ascended due to... War.

[2whitelights]

"I'm not familiar with Hoshido - but there are people here from many worlds I've never heard of, it seems.

"I'm sorry you've had so much violence in your life. I - I lost my family -" - briefly she sees a hint of Anakin's face behind Vader's broken mask as they fought to the death - "to war and treachery.

"Hey, was it your bow that was shooting those lights up into the sky? Can you show me? And I'll show you my weapons - the parts of them that make them - well, not divine, but I guess you could say sacred? - chose me as well."

She makes no move to reach for the lightsabers tucked inside her tunic, not yet. She thinks she's established some sort of trust with the young man, but no need to rush it...

[tsundebro]

I'm not familiar with your, er... kind, either. You're not like me.

[Takumi grimaced. Treachery hits him right in the heart. To see Ryoma and Xander, leading their two armies against one another, each holding a hand out to Corrin, his own step-brother, only for Corrin to reach out for Xander's. It started what could be a losing war for Hoshido.

He shakes his head to get rid of that memory, lifting Fujin Yumi.]

Certainly.

[It was an ordinary ornate bow's staff one moment. But the next, a glowing bow string appears. Takumi gently pulls on the string, which bends the staff with it, demonstrating that it was, in fact, real.

That's all he'll do for the moment.]

[2whitelights]

Ahsoka tilted her head, intrigued. Was his bow a Force weapon, or something similar? It wasn't the same as the Force bows the Nightsisters used, but one way or another, it was an interesting weapon.

She smiles and nods, once, appreciatively. Slowly she draws one lightsaber from under her tunic, showing him the hilt, and then gestures well away from him as she activates it, the bright white blade springing forth.
