[Video/action] #1
[It was raining outside when she woke up. She read the welcoming pamphlet and took the time to learn how to use the necklace device that is hanging around her neck, which is a video phone. She is no stranger to technology, considering her own world has their own versions of machines too.
She left her cavern, and ended up exploring the city. She was looking for a way back home, an exit from this world and figured out eventually there is no way out. She ended up being more lost, more overwhelmed, and she would have screamed out-loud by now, if it weren't for some of the essential free magazines she had found that were written specifically for new arrivals. They contain maps and descriptions of the civic buildings, shops, and guides and tips on how to survive in the city.
She surmised she needed to learn quickly soon. While she was accustomed to work as a team with her colleagues and her familiars back home, she's a warrior too. Her animal instinct has taught her to survive and work alone just as well.
She has money, that's the first asset. But it would run out eventually, so she would need a job soon. But first, she needs a place to live and...well, she figures she might make camp in the park if needed to be. She has no problem sleeping outside in the wild. And she never trusted humans other than the humans that her boss and leader of the pack, Van, told her to work with.
This city is way, way, way too civilized for a wild girl like her. Maybe there's a place where she can hunt for food and game.
So she sat in the park, staring at the squirrels, wondering if they're good to eat. Her stomach is growling from hunger. Well, there's too many people around, so maybe not a good idea. And she couldn't think straight, because she was too upset that she's in another world, far from home.
Taking a deep breath, she shyly spoke into the video, hoping she passes off as a civilized young lady:]
Does anyone know a good place to eat?

[The problem though, was that he felt...holed up. These people were not his friends, nor did he have any desire to become one of theirs. After all, when he returned, he would be returning to his death. Something he's faced twice now, once before his arrival and once from the fonon separation that finally occurred during his stay in Genessia.]
[The difference this second time, was that he had Luke by his side, and that only made things more awkward and difficult than before. So here he was, walking around town aimlessly, just wasting the extra time before night fell and he would return whilst everyone was asleep or getting ready to rest.]
[Like him, Arietta stood out like a sore thumb among the throngs of people in the parks surroundings. A flash of bright pink catching his eye, in turn forcing up her memory which causes green eyes to seek out the source. When he finally spots her on the bench he's struck for a moment, a mild look of shock coming over his features as he takes in the image of a small girl he knew was dead. Dead like him…]
...Arietta.
[He whispers before Instantly trying to compose himself, believing that he must not let his emotions shine through, not right now. He couldn’t be sure what all she knew, or if she thought of him as her enemy. She was after all, another member who had been extremely loyal to Van. In such situations there was no room for weakness, for sentimentalities. This was what he thought about as he moved forward to greet the girl. The young man had questions to ask her that needed to be answered. And she would make the third god general in town, as far as he knew, and there was no telling what time she had arrived from or who has followed her.]
[But she may not even know who he was, let alone his part in destroying Van’s master plan.]
Arietta the Wild… has anyone else come with you?
[video] | placeholder tag D|
Arietta the Wild.
[ There was pause. ] Though we may have been enemies in the past, there is little reason for it now. If you are willing to accept, I can make something for you.
[ Tear was also an Oracle Knight. Whether she had the chance to work with the God Generals are not, they were still in the same work force. ]
no subject
For now.
When he approached her, she was slightly startled at first, a little shocked. But then she sight in relief. This is Asch. It was someone she knows, and it's a colleague too. He can be trusted. Van never said anything about him after all, other than to lend support to her teammates when the need arises.]
Hello. Ah, no. I came alone.
no subject
So poor Arietta she's confused as to what do. Without Van giving any orders, she's on her own to make a decision as to what to make of this.]
Hello. Weren't we enemies now? [Head tilt, some confusion here.]
[Video]
Not been here that long, but I've managed to find a couple of places.
Where abouts are you? I'll come show you around, cutey~
no subject
With slight distrust in her tone toward the stranger.]
...who are you?
no subject
We were...Arietta the Wild, but in a world without the Score-- without Van...there is little we need to be fighting for, don't you agree?
[ She mused giving her an honest explanation. ]
action;
Are you alright?
[Her voice is soft with her usually sweetness.]
[Video]
I don't know any places to eat, but we could-a go into the grocery store and-a buy food and eat.
no subject
She brighten up from her previous gloom.]
Oh, you can talk!
no subject
The name's Zelos. Zelos Wilder.
action;
She looks up to the other girl, and oh, her hair is green! Just like her beloved, Ion the Fon Master.]
I'm okay. I'm just...I'm new here.
no subject
[Nope, not giving him her name yet. You look like a creeper to her, after all! Even with all of that fabolous hair. On the second thought, that red hair does remind her of Luke...]
no subject
I'm just a swordsman, that's all.
[Not that he planned to start a fight. For the most part, he was avoiding using any of his powers.]
no subject
Even if Van is not here, I would still go by his advice. [Even in her heart, she still believes in Van, whether there is Score or no Score. Van is the one who trained her and raised her almost like a Father figure, so that she can be a worthy guardian to stay by the Fon Master's side.
And even though she was throwned away due to a switch from the Original Ion to the replica Ion, she didn't know. She still believe Ion is still her "Ion".]

no subject
[ She replied giving her a serious look. ] You do not have to trust me. I am not asking for you to trust me, but at the moment I am genuinely concerned about your situation. I wish for you at least remain safe until my brother comes to retrieve you, if Van so appears in this world.
[ Tear was not one who would fight for a useless cause. She would not hurt anyone unless there was a reason to. She was a soldier and so was Arietta, despite her young age. ]
We are soldiers are we not? I am certain we share some sort of camaraderie since we work for Daath previously.
no subject
My name is-a Stefano! What is yours?
action;
Here.
[She held out a slice of bread to the girl. Terra herself doesn't have a job yet so all she has to offer is bread.]
Being new is hard. Have you seen if you know anyone in the city?
no subject
I'm Arietta. Where I come from, I have the power to talk to animals and understand them.
action;
With gracious gratitude.] Thank you. [And took the bread in her hand.]
Not that I know of yet. [After a pause, maybe she should introduce herself.] I'm Arietta. [Bit into the bread hungrily.]
no subject
[He's just thrilled with any kind of talent that people or animals have.]
no subject
[But are they friends? It's hard to say. Van never spoke of his sister much. Other than saying she is...or was her sister and he only said about her that she's an oracle knight. Furthurmore, Arietta is only interested in putting Anise "out" of the picture, and at times, she desire the harbor to end her. In a honorable duel perhaps.
But that has come to pass. For now.]
But I don't trust you. You're friends with the one who killed my mommy. The one with the red hair.
[Her mother, the Liger Queen, died when she was working for Van. There was very little time to grieve for her mother. Only time to say good-bye and buried her, and then figure out what to do with the remaining cubs of their tribe.]
no subject
[She felt it's easier to talk to him, and less upset too.]
Can you please show me where to eat?
no subject
[He'd not been expecting that question. Since he'd come here, he'd been mostly ignoring the role he had held in his old life.
In the end, he settled for something vague: ]
Oh, you know... just odd jobs there and there, helping people out, that sorta thing.
no subject
[Then she felt embarrassed for asking his help.]
...I'm Arietta.
no subject
[He pauses as her question sinks in.]
Oh! Si! Ah...where are you?
no subject
Arietta, hm? That's pretty cute~
no subject
[ She replied, giving the girl a slow nod as well. No, Tear wouldn't consider something like that. Friends? No, that was the last thing on her mind. They were soldiers, people who fought for their causes. That was it. If there was a sense of alliance they could build, that was fine, but Tear was not going to press the matter of Arietta trusting her. She was offering what she could in place of her brother, who used and manipulated a young girl. Even if she had a place with the God Generals and Van, she was still used. Tear would never forgive her brother for that but right now that wasn't something they should be mulling over. ]
Your mother attacked us. We only acted out of defense and frankly, we were unaware that she was your mother. It was a sacrifice, unfortunate, but had to be done. The villagers and people were to be eaten otherwise. I am not implying what we did was right. We did what we need to do.
[ And that was to protect the civilians. Sometimes sacrifices had to be made. Tear didn't regret it but she did empathize with someone losing a parent. She was raised by wild animals from what Tear knew, so she was aware of what she did would spark dislike from Arietta. ]
I do apologize for the unfortunate circumstances. If we had a choice, we would not have killed her. Once again, I extend my arm to you if you wish to take it, Arietta the Wild. Otherwise, I do hope that you stay will be pleasant and safe. You are also free to contact me if you require anything.
[ And that was to the extent of offer that Tear will give to the God General. ]
no subject
[After a pause.]
In the park. I won't eat you. I promise. For now, I want to eat human food in the stores.
no subject
Oh. Do you know where is it, though? I'll go there and see if there is any work available. [She wanted to feel useful toward a cause. Something to distract her from her current distress.]
no subject
[Come to think of it, could this "liger" be a cross between a lion and a tiger?]
The park! Okay! I will come and-a find you now!
[Some time later, Stefano will make his way to the park to find this person.]
no subject
The awful truth is, Van only cares for using her strength. The original Ion just sees her as a pet. The current Ion, the 7th replica, hardly knew her, and choose Anise out of his own choice.
Still, at this point, Arietta cannot see the truth. She only see what she wanted to see.]
No...
[She's not sure how to react this offer. It hurt. After all, no one could replace a mother and the lessons she bestow on a child. With a life end too quick, because humans saw her a beast, a monster.]
At least, not right now.
[After some thought. She is tired and hungry at all, so maybe a little sign of defeat and surrender to a truce should be fine.]
But I don't suppose you know where I can find a place to live though, do you?

Alright, that is your choice. Please try to get along with the residents. I am certain there are those who are willing to take you in. Asch the Bloody is also present. Perhaps, you have more trust towards him than I do.
[ She replied to the girl. No one could replace a parent. Tear knew that. No one could replace Van. She and her friends had killed him. She had no choice and in the end she had lost something precious to her. She could understand Arietta's feat to some extent. ]
There are various apartments and living spaces around different cities if you go there and ask they should be able to give you information on where you can live. You have some money but use it sparingly. You must also at some point obtain a job, or else you will not be able to live or have food to eat. As I also said, Asch the Bloody is here. Perhaps, it would be easier for you to seek him out.
There are many jobs as well. If you require one and do not know how, I can show you to a few locations, depending on what you prefer.

Hello! You must be Arietta!

[Zelos gets out his map and takes a look over it.]
Hmm...I think it's on Thistle Avenue and 22nd Street? If you want, I can show you the way there?
