001 💕 In the Bay

[disdressing]

Nui listens patiently while the hologram finishes speaking. "Weiss Schnee, huh? Must be important..."

She looked down at her pendant, noting the large singular red stone, quickly running through the pamphlet that seemed to indicate Nova City. She figured out which archway was which and headed through, stepping into a world of tall building and machines. 

Nui's smile grew wide as she took in the environment. 

"Oooh, this could be fun~"


[ OOC: Hit up Nui in the bay or in Nova City. PM me if you want to arrange a starter! ]

At the Bay!

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi was drifting by, dressed in full uniform, actually on patrol this time as opposed to lounging by the bay when she noticed the appearance of a new mind. It was unique, but had a familiar ring to it. Inhuman but not entirely alien. She'd sensed something similar before, hadn't she?

More curious than anything else she made her way over to it, mostly unseen, her head tilted to one side, then the other. Blonde. She had never seen so much blonde on one person before. Ever. And never had she seen such amazing corkscrews. Luna Child could take lessons from this newcomer!

Forgoing her passive obfuscation, Koishi zipped forward, poking Nui's shoulder repeatedly, giggling. "Miss! Miss! Your hair is amazing! How do you get it to do that? It's so pretty! Miss? Miss!"

[disdressing]

Hmm? What a strange flying child.

Nui didn't seem to mind being poked so much... or at least, she didn't visibly show it.

"Tell you what, I'll tell you about my hair if you tell me about that thing-" she pointed at Koishi's third eye.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Hmm?" Koishi blinked, her eyes dimming slightly as she looked down to see where Nui was pointing... "Oh! That's my third eye Miss. I'm a satori youkai." The sphere drifted up, settling into Koishi's hands. "It's blind though so I can't read minds anymore. So you don't have to be scared of me, okay?"

At least she had stopped poking, the artery over her left shoulder twisting into a loose heart. "... Ohhh. Your eye is covered too. Did you hurt it? Mine got cut with a big knife."

[disdressing]

"Youkai like the spirit monster things?" Kind of silly, although the child was flying around. It was amusing that it thought Nui might be scared of her. She decided to play along.

"Well that's good to hear, I was really scared for a moment there! My eye was cut out by a mean old man who didn't understand his place! He's super dead now~!"

[koishi_komeiji]

"Yeah!" She didn't really look like a spirit-monster-thing, but then again her eyes were glowing and she had that strange extra appendage too... "There are lots of different kinds but I'm a satori. We're psychic."

"Ohhh! Please don't lie. I can sense them still. It's okay if you weren't scared of me. People think I'm cute most of the time. I don't mind that either."

She leaned in to examine the eyepatch, letting the sphere go. It drifted up, nudging Nui's shoulder gently. "Oh. That's fair I suppose. You mortal creatures are really fragile, huh?" At least she didn't call Nui human.

"It's a nice shade of purple though. I really like it. It's just enough without being too much and goes really well with your pink and yellow and pretty smile. All those colors match your mind really nicely. It makes me feel energized and... maybe a little nervous? But in a good way. Excited. And a bit impatient!"

In Nova City

[kiryuin_shield]

[Gamagori had been doing his normal rounds, helping where he was needed and doing whatever Satsuki had laid out for him. He didn't see Nui at first, but rather... felt her presence. The hair on the back of his neck stood up as he could've sworn a music box was playing somewhere. He shrugged the feeling off until he rounded a corner and nearly stepped on her. He wasn't sure how much she knew about Satsuki's rebellion, so he kept his gut reaction in check.]

You. High Courtier. When did you get here?

[disdressing]

Hmmm? Have we met?

[ Someone recognized her, that was interesting. Was that one of Satsuki's 'goku' uniforms? The second one she'd seen so far, if that was the case. ]

1/2

[disdressing]

"Fragile, huh? You're the one who got blinded with a simple knife..."

2/2

[disdressing]

Listening to the description of her 'aura' or whatever was kind of neat, and rather complimentary (especially the nervous part).

"Of course it does, my energy is as perfect as every part of me." Nui poked at the eye that was nudging her. "So you wouldn't be able to see any of that if this thing got cut off completely?"

[koishi_komeiji]

"It wasn't a simple knife. My power was sealed at the time. Otherwise I would have just healed... But it had to be sealed for the eye to stay damaged. I didn't want to read minds anymore."

Koishi tilted her head a little bit. Perfection was debatable but she wasn't about to argue. Well maybe a little arguing... if she got the chance. She was opening her mouth when her eye was poked, the little youkai flinching a bit, though more in surprise than anything else. The eye drifted back a little before drifting forward to meet Nui's finger.

"Nooo. I'd still be psychically connected to it. I'd stop seeing things after I bleed out and my body burns up all my youki trying to replenish my blood. Which it wouldn't be able to since the arteries would be broken. But if I just sort of stick them back together I'll heal up just fine." A pause. "Crushing my third eye would cause a psychic lapse, though I can heal from that too. You shouldn't do anything like that anyway. It's super mean and the sudden psychic discharge might kill you."

[disdressing]

Well if you didn't want Nui to do something, telling her she shouldn't is probably not the way to go. Fortunately there were other things occupying Nui's attention.

"Where did you get this~?" Nui asked, leaning perhaps uncomfortably close and moving her fingers over the fabric of Koishi's uniform. Her fingers in particular rubbed over the unique symbol on the lapel. Her fingers were ice cold to the touch.

[koishi_komeiji]

Koishi shied away just a bit from the chilly touch but it wasn't really enough to get away. That would be rude after all. The "stars" on the uniform weren't as pointed as the ones on the real goku uniforms. They were more diamond shaped but there was no mistaking the aesthetic pattern. Even if this one lacked life fibers.

The youkai looked down at her uniform, shifting a little in the air so Nui could get better look at it. The only thing that didn't seem to actually be a part of the uniform was the stiff felt sun-hat and even then the ribbon's purple fabric seemed tailored to compliment both the hat and the uniform's texture.

"Ohh. Miss White gave it to me. It's my uniform. When Mister big was captured by the scary Mister with face paint Miss Music and I had to go rescue him while Miss White and Buggy stayed behind to fight an evil version of Mister Big. There was a huge metal machine covered in guns that attacked us and it crushed me against a wall. Miss White gave me the uniform at the hospital. Miss Music helped design it too. I really like it and its really comfortable. All the little loops for my arteries are nice sine they keep them from getting in the way."

She drifted back and gave a little twirl, several odd creases showing up as she raised her arms. No doubt they had some sort of function if this really was a uniform.

[hemoeroticism]

{ Hagire had been visiting Nova City to acquire some of their specialized medical supplies. There was a going to be a huge fight going in Attleton; that meant his services would be needed in the hospital when it was all said and done. All alone with all of those injured, bleeding people, possibly a few in the morgue... he was giddy just thinking about it. Still, he had a front to put up. "Toto Sakigami, M.D." was one of their top surgeons. He didn't want to ruin a good thing.

At least, not yet.

It wasn't until he saw the girl - clearly not of this world, if that hair was anything to go by - that he nearly dropped his boxes of dissolving surgical thread and laser-cut, ceramic scalpels. Something about her gave him similar vibes to the Wretched Egg. }

Oh? Fun? ☆ { He nearly dropped his supplies again when he felt the urge to clap his hands. He had to suppress it. } Fun how? I'm guessing you're not a tourist.

[disdressing]

Hmm? [ It shouldn't be surprising that people take note of Nui, she is beautiful and magnetic. It's kind of surprising that someone so plain feels confident enough to speak to her, though. She notices that they have a pendant too, meaning they've been brought here under similar circumstances. ]

Are there tourists here? Where do they come from~?

[disdressing]

"Uh huh..." Nui wasn't sure she cared enough to actually ask any followup questions. Seemed like trying to wring anything useful out of that would take a lot of work.

Still, the design couldn't be a coincidence. "Tell me about 'Miss White.'"

[koishi_komeiji]

"Oh!" She instantly brightened. "Miss White is a really nice human. She's tall with long black hair and she's really strong. Her mind is like a fortress and she's a great leader. Even the sound of her footsteps makes me want to follow and its like she shines when she speaks."

Koishi was just rambling at this point, but the information might still be useful. "She's always frowning and looks serious but I know better. She's curious but level headed and is truly kind in her own way."

"She has a really pretty sword too. Bakuzan-" a name Koishi apparently did remember, "-and she carries it everywhere with her. The blade is black and without forge lines. It's really eerie. It's really light and sharp and I've seen it cut through all sorts of things. Sometimes Miss White has me carry it when I'm invisible so it doesn't look like she's armed."

[hemoeroticism]

All over. Genessia City, Attleton, Fayren, Everglade... other worlds entirely, even. Though, their love for Attleton isn't quite the same anymore. Gilgamesh has made a mess of the place. I love what he's done with it. So much blood... ☆

{ A shiver travels up his spine as he thinks about it. He hadn't seen Shiro in a while. Maybe that's where she went... maybe the Wretched Egg finally got bored enough to wake up and go pay the place a visit.

Hagire snaps out of his reminiscing, and turns back to Nui. }

Gotta say, though, love the hair. Shiro-chan would, too, if she saw it. ☆

[disdressing]

Bakuzan~ Yup, no mistaking it. Satsuki-chan was here too~

Nui hadn't heard anything about her disappearing though. "And how long has Miss White been here?"

[disdressing]

Of course she would~ [ But there's no point in stating the obvious. ]

There are people who visit besides the people with the stones?

[ She ran a finger along the edge of her pendant to illustrate. ]

How do they get here?

[hemoeroticism]

Not the people themselves. I've never seen one go through the Archways without help from someone with a necklace... but there's been some weird creatures showing up lately, like those spirits, and those 'Pokemon' things. They broke open the sky and poured in through the cracks. I know, it doesn't make sense, but I don't know how else I'd describe it. In the case of the Pokemon, they just kinda... showed up.

{ He should have been more clear about that. He shrugs. }

I loved those things. They fought each other for sport, and our entertainment. ☆ { And if Mewtwo heard him say that, he'd try to kill him. }

[disdressing]

[ Was she supposed to know what any of that meant? The only thing she gleaned from all that was that this place was weird. ]

Wow, you say a lot of really pointless things! [ It was phrased like a compliment, but trust her, it wasn't one. ]

Tell me more about that 'Gilgamesh' person~

[hemoeroticism]

You sound just like my beloved Wretched Egg. ☆ { And that, actually, is a compliment, coming from him. }

I'd have more respect for him if he wasn't an idiot. He decided to invade Attleton and declare himself 'Guardian.' A lot of people are really, really unhappy about that.

[koishi_komeiji]

"Uhh..." Koishi actually seemed to pause. "Longer... Than me. I asked once but I don't remember how long it was. I've been here for over a year though. And so has Miss Music and Mister Big. A nice mister with glasses showed up for a little bit too but then he went away..."

[disdressing]

The weird nicknames sparked the barest of recognition, but Nui couldn't be bothered to try to puzzle it out.

But she definitely knew that Satsuki hadn't been missing for a whole year. She came by to spy on her far too often to miss something like that.

"And where is Miss White hanging out lately?"

[disdressing]

Attleton... [ That was one of the other cities.

With no fanfare, Nui turned around and bounced back towards the archway. ]
