[Video] > [Action] Reincarnation

"I can't say that this was what I was expecting." he mumbles. "I hope I haven't been out for long..."

At the Bay, a video feed opens up to a young man in what appears to be darkened school uniform. His short hair a little swept over his eyes and his face honestly looking a little tired. After a moment, he fiddles around with an old MP3 player and slips its headphones on, stuffing his hands into his pockets. Behind him, a Genessia new-visitor box already opened and emptied, discarded. He only pulls his hands out-of-pocket to check the phone. His face seems disinterested and tired, or otherwise very concentrated in trying to see how it worked. It seems he left the phone nearby and he tripped the feed by mistake. A small hint of recognition in his eyes.

"It's already on. Huh." A pause as he thinks of what to say. "Hey, if anyone's out there, I wouldn't mind some directions?" He hastily makes sure he's got everything. The boy shrugs as he looks for the button to switch off the feed. "...Might as well take a look around in the meantime."

[Minato's wandering around The Bay for now, feel free to respond for video or action!]

Video, Private

[iceandwhips]

[Mitsuru is torn, an oddly familiar feeling when he's involved. She wants to see him, touch him, but she's terrified that if she goes, he'll be an illusion. She's not exactly sure what's worse.

She knows what he's enduring to make sure their world continues to exist the way they all desired. And she feels guilty that he's stuck doing that.

However, she knows where she'll be. And so does he.]

It'll take me a moment to get there. I seem to be without my motorcycle or limousine here.

With a familiar little incline of his head, he's at least providing a bit of a 'yes' to that. He still seems pretty laid back on the surface, but he's just as eager to see her again, to tell her everything he'd wanted to say before.

And, much like Mitsuru, Minato perhaps still wondered whether this was a dream or reality. But because it might vanish at any moment, he'd take this opportunity. Even if he'd taken a heavy burden for the sake of his friends - for the fate of the world - he knows he didn't feel he could do anything much else that. But the promises that he broke or took away to see it through were things he'd dimly recollect with lingering regrets. And to that end, he waved his hand as if to dissuade her worries or push his own away.

"Mn...Don't worry about it. I'm not expecting anything fancy, really. It's just...been an awfully long time. Maybe you can get yourself a new motorbike, someday, too."

Back then, it seemed awfully exciting. She offered to run away from her troubles and take him with her. But this world was awfully far away from there, right?. The camera moves a little as he takes a seat on a bench nearby, overlooking the Bay. The angle's just right, as if he's looking into it at eye level and just enough so that she can probably recognize where he's waiting. He signs off with a clipped reply, as usual...

And the smallest hint of a smile.

"...Whatever. Just rambling a bit. See you there, alright."

Action

[The communicator is turned off and shoved in the pocket of her coat quickly. She knows that if she dares to think this through, she might talk herself out of it.

So, she almost runs the entire trip, only slowing down when she is close enough to the bay to see the water. Deep pulls of air in to clear the fact that she's out of breath from the haste she used in arriving here.

Mitsuru spends a good few minutes straightening her hair from the wind-tattered mess it's become and trying to make sure she doesn't look a sweaty disaster and then stops mid-motion and laughs at herself. Minato won't care what she looks like and she hasn't cared in a long time about what other people think about her.

She spends the rest of the walk ignoring the way her heart races in her chest as her feet take her closer and closer to where he will be. And then she sees him and it's like being hit by a delivery truck before she swallows the lump in her throat and goes forward.]

The view here is nice, but I believe the one from the top of Gekkokan is much better.
