[ Action/Video ]

[ Video ]
[ Ferris was a bright young woman. It didn't take her long to figure things out, with the pamphlet she was provided. Figuring out the videophone took a little longer, but when she did manage to cue up a recording, the face of a beautiful blonde woman showed on the display. Her face, on the other hand, showed little to no expression as she began to speak. ]

Prior to my arrival in this place, I traveled with a man. My partner, Ryner Lute. He is an unrepentant sex fiend who lures women of all ages into his clutches, and discards them with nary a thought. I must know if such a person is in this place, immediately.

[ Because he's her important friend and she'll tear the head off anyone who lays a finger on him. She spent a long time searching for him, refusing to believe he was dead - ]

More importantly, I also wish to know the location of the nearest dango shops. [ She's sure whatever shops there are here will be subpar to the Wynnit dango shops, but she was willing to have an open mind in the matter. ]

[ Action ]
[ Shortly after making her post, she resumed her search through the Bay, passing a brief glance into some of the pods, finding most empty. Most, save for one. The familiar figure sleeping away had her breath a quiet sigh of relief, reassured by his presence. He was all right. For a second her mind stole back to the last memory she had, when she finally found him after nearly desperatelu searching, the embrace, and his arms around her - she shook her head slightly. Enough of that. Time 0to greet him in the usual fashion. ]

Oi, Ryner. Wake up.

[ Yes Ryner, wake up to the sight of your favorite bully as she hefted her godkilling sword above her head, then started to swing it down at the pod he's sleeping in, not even giving him a chance to start to wake up. She was confident he would be awake and dodge the strike in time. It's cool. Incidentally anyone in the area are of course free to come across the pair. ]

[It's not fair when she makes that face. He wants to stop her but when she makes that kind of subtle but genuinely happy expression he just can't decide what to do.]

Did you check the price first at least?

[Cause he's given up on her money but she's not seeing a dime from him. Or so he tells himself.]

[ Shelter or Dangos. Shelter or Dangos. Psh, Dangos are obviously the higher priority of the two. It wouldn't be the first time they've slept outside after all. ]

Hmm?

[ She glanced towards Ryner with a slight smile - ah, the price. Right. She couldn't spend as much as she did back home. This momentarily defeats her, but she checks the price. Ugh, just over her budget. She'd have to put one box of dango back. ]

...

[ Observe Ryner, as she wars with herself over what box of dango to give up on. It's like a life or death struggle! ]

[No. NO no no don't look like that. Don't...Don't dammit....DON'T!]

[He's a fool. A goddamn bleeding hearted fool. That's the only reason why he's holding out a few extra bills from his own envelope so that she can get that extra box too.]

[ He's a fool, but that's why she l.....ikes him. NEVER CHANGE. ]

[ She'll accept that as reason why he was giving her a few extra bills too, glancing back at him in surprise and smiling. She knew there was a reason to keep you around, Ryner! ]

Thank you.

[ Oh the goddess is practically beaming, surrendering the rest of her money and the bills Ryner gave her, and accepting no less than six boxes of dango with delight. ]

It's unlikely these will be as good as the ones back home, but - [ Wait, that kinda sounds ungrateful, considering Ryner gave her some of his money. ]

Anything is possible. [ She shuffled through the boxes for a moment as she headed out of the teahouse with her companion, and selected one, holding it out to him. ]

Here.

[ He gets a whole box all to himself! Because he finally understands the importance of having enough money for dango.]

[Somehow he feels like he has been cheated. Probably because he has. But when she smiles that happily (By her standards at least) it's hard to find it in himself to get angry.]

[He sighs in resignation. Well he didn't give her too much, barely a quarter of the allowance he woke up with so shouldn't be too bad. As he thinks on that though he wakes up with a box held out towards him. His eyes widen a little.]

You want me to carry this for you?

[No he doesn't get it that she's sharing one with him. Because this is Ferris and her sacred Dangos!]

[ Ferris shook her head at the assumption. Silly boy, carry one box while she carried the other five? ]

No, that one is for you. A reward for understanding the importance of Dango.

[ She'll let him absorb that for a moment, and then hands over the other five boxes. ]

You can carry these, however.

[Boy that can kill a million people in the blink of an eye. Yeah.]

For me? Oh. Okay then Tha-

[ANd then she holds out the other boxes and his gratitude is a bit diminished as he levels her a "really?" look before taking hold of the stack of boxes.]

Maybe we should have done this, AFTER we found a place where we can stay?

[Since now they were stuck exploring while carrying a tower of Dangos.]

[ Shh. Ferris' smile doesn't fade even at that 'really?' look. ]

Perhaps, but there is no help for it now. Don't drop those.

[ Dropping the box of dango is extreme disrespect to the dango god, you know! Besides, you would be a poor manservant if you did. She turned and started walking again, in higher spirits. She thought she'd never be able to have dango again! ]

[Which is exactly what he expects really.]

I know I know. His heavenly-ness lord Dango will smite me if I do.

[Such is the routine. Honestly carrying dangos is a far better use for the strength chiseled into his body from young. Strength made to kill.]

So what now? Do we look for some place where we can sit or should we go through another gate and hope we find an Inn there?

Oi, Ryner. [ Ferris stopped short to turn and look at him, all serious again. ]

Mind how you speak about the God of Dango. He'll curse you for disrespect and turn you into a dango.

[ ... She ... stares at him thoughtfully at that, perhaps contemplating just what kind of dango he'd be. The question that follows has her blink once, snapping out of the reverie, and then scan their surroundings again. ]

There. [ Nice little bench spot under some trees where they can stop to rest a little. Far enough from the side walk that they can watch people in the area while still being private(ish). ]

[Ah there it comes, another excerpt from the scripture of the Dango Lord. Though being turned into a dango is something new.]

Yes yes I know.

[He looks over to the spot she picked out and carefully moved in that direction. To her credit Ferris picked a fairly decent spot. He carefully puts his stack of boxes down spreading them around Ferris'. ]

Which do you want first?

[ Ferris nodded sagely - though she had a feeling he was only saying that to go along with the shenanigans. Settling on the bench, she surveyed the dango boxes spread out around her before picking one of them up. ]

This will do to start.

[ TO start, she says. She probably intended to eat all the dango she just bought in one sitting. ...they really needed a job. Monster hunting or something. But first... ]

Ryner. [ She began, carefully picking up her treat. ] The fight earlier. Explain.

[Of course she did. Ryner already knew what she intended with all five boxes. Which is why he quickly picks out his own from the pile and puts it in his lap before she pops the question on him.]

What do you mean? It was how I always fight.

[ She would easily eat nothing but dango and still not have enough. ]

Yes, however there was a difference. You possessed a level of control that you lacked when last I saw you.

[ She pops the dango into her mouth, glancing at him gravely. ]

[And she still wouldn't gain an ounce of fat because of it. Truly the metabolism of a goddess.]

Last you saw me? What are you talking about? You were there there with me when the battle took place.

[He still doesn't imagine their time frame might not be the same.]

[ It is a blessing from the Dango God himself. HIs most loyal member would never gain an inch of fat. ]

...

[ Yeah she's staring again, and looking like you may be crazy. ]

You make less sense than usual, Ryner. The last we saw each other you were in the prison. Was this battle a dream you concoted in your sleep?

[It has to be.]

What? But that was weeks ago?!

[He doesn't understand. This has to be some kind of joke...unless.]

You said we last saw each other in the prison?

[ A very bad joke. She tilts her head slightly, confused. WEEKs ago? ]

Impossible.

[ She'd accuse him of being a bad liar but - he didn't actually look like he was lying. Also what could he possibly gain from lying about that? After absently chewing on another dango, she nodded to his question. ]

Correct. Did you misremember events?

[He frowns in thought as he ponders on the possible implication.]

No I didn't. These eyes prove it. And the lack of Alpha cackling about in my head.

[And as he says that he lightly activates his powers just enough to make his eyes shine but not with the red demonic light and pentacle.]

[ Whilst he ponders, she rolls a dango in her hand thoughtfully. Honestly it didn't make sense for them to have two different sets of memories. It was disturbing to think someone had messed with hers, or his. Unforgivable. ]

...

[ On the other hand, what he says does seem to be true. No Alpha, control over the power in his eyes. ]

Then how did it come about?

[ Because she feels like she missed out on a lot here. ]

[At the question of how he mastered his own power and exorcized Alpha, Ryner flinched visibly. He still remembered the pain, the blackness that followed once his eyes were gouged out and the crystal was removed. How Ferris cried while holding him as he slipped away. It was one of his most vivid memories.]

Well. You could said It took a trip to hell and back. Ah that's probably a bad choice of words.

[ Ferris fell silent, dango in hand as she stared at her friend. The subject was more sensitive than she'd anticipated. Better drop it for now. ]

Hnn.

[ A trip to hell and back, huh? Calmly, she returned her gaze to the dango in her hand, nibbling it until nothing was left. She doesn't say anything as she does this, pondering the implication of his memories compared to hers, licking remnants of the sweet from her fingers before reaching for another. ]

Yet our memories differ. [ She broke him out of the prison weeks ago, he said. But for her, it was just a few hours. ]

[It was touchy. After all in one day he discovered what he was, lost his beloved mother and killed over a million troops while taking out the monster that had plagued him for so long.]

Yeah. The only way I can explain that is if we come from different points in time. In other words I'm from the future and you're from the past.

So you have control over your ability then. Complete control. Is there anything else I should know?

[ Just to be brought up to speed; was that everything? ]

I don't just have control. It's even stronger. I can see the composition of everything around us. Right down to the matter that it is made of. I can see the connections the equations holding the whole thing together. And...I can solve them, erasing it from existence.

[YEs that's the kind of monster she decided to care about. Lovely isn't it?]
