2nd Dive: Exploration [Action]

[koiwamizuiro]

[Some time has passed since Ai first entered Luceti, and even now she was growing accustomed to life in the village. Slowly, but steadily. It was a much quieter place than what she was used to back in Kibitou.

The draft had come and gone, but the girl hadn't taken part in it, and she was thankful for that. Her recent entrance into this peculiar world was enough to deal with on its own, though she had kept herself as informed as she could as to what exactly was going on.

Today, she had initially tried to simply soothe herself with another walk around the village. It had developed to be a certain routine for her that she often practiced, and the weather was more pleasant than it had been before, warmer. She was wearing a long-sleeved black shirt and blue denim jeans, along with her yellow jacket on top that she had regained possession of upon entering Luceti.

However, curiosity got the better of her and she ended up heading to several places that she had intended on checking out earlier, diverging from her walk a bit.]

Action I.

[Firstly, Ai found herself near the Bakery in the morning, a certain scent inviting her to come even closer and see what was available that day. The girl had wondered whether she would be able to find anything like her favorite Imagawayaki dessert here to buy later (or get, rather), so she would inform herself of what was offered here. Besides, she was also feeling hungry now, so her timing couldn't have been better.

One may find her right at the time she has an inner discussion with herself as to what to get, or they may find her wandering close by later with a croissant in her hand, already eating it contentedly.]

Action II.

[Then, Ai found her way to the front door of the Battle Drome. From what she had understood, this fascinating facility wasn't just a combat simulator, and she wanted to test out its capabilities for herself. She had read about it and already had a few scenarios in mind, but that didn't necessarily mean that she couldn't use the help of somebody around offering to help her understand it a bit more.]

Action III.

[The Library was also a place the girl wanted to check, the last location on her route today, though she didn't have anything particular in mind upon entering it as she simply went on browsing. Maybe there was something informative as to the worlds of the other people she met here? Or perhaps there were different works of fiction made by authors from these other worlds that could intrigue her? Regardless, she wouldn't mind having some reading material to go through before she went to sleep each day.

Ai would spend quite a bit of time here, thinking as to what she would get and what would spark her interest the most.]

Action IV.

[Finally, when the sky has already darkened, Ai would take a small break near the river close to her new come, Community Housing Building #2, and clear her head some with her eyes watching the stars and her body resting on the grass. Anyone wandering around this late would be able to catch her there.]

(OOC: You can stumble upon her anywhere along her route. Reading the reflections post I have linked to is not necessary as it simply shows her initial thoughts and impressions of Luceti right after she gets herself an apartment.)

Comments

action I

[heartofthematter]

[While Diamond isn't an early riser, it's just late enough in the morning for him to be able to feign having had a good night's rest and sluggishly make his way to the Bakery with Lax at his side. He doesn't even notice Ai trying to decide what she wants at first, too busy on trying to figure out his own breakfast. A Danish maybe...? Oh, but a twist for Lax. Yeah. A cinnamon twist.

The Munchlax tugs at his trainer's pant leg after accepting the breakfast, and then he notices her. Very sleepily. With a yawn and a wave of his bandaged right arm. He's too lethargic to register the small pain.]

Aaaaai. Good morning, Ai.

action iv

[greenjacketed]

[ building number two used to be sharpe's home, as well. only recently had he moved house, but he still found his feet straying back towards his early billet. sometimes, at night, his steps took him there on instinct and it wasn't until he his roughened fingers are on the front door that he realizes his error.

tonight, he announces his mild frustration with colourful oaths: ] Jesus wept. Don't you bloody well know your way, yet? [ the major never used to speak to himself. not back home. but here...

he sighs and retreats from the front porch, opting to cut across the grass to reach his actual destination. the clink of steel in his scabbard and the soft rhythm of muttered curses announce his approach. ]

[action - near the bakery!]

[idealism]

[She wasn't the only one enticed to the bakery thanks to the lovely scent of baked goods. Tsuzuki goes to the bakery regularly, so it's no suprise she'd run into him now.]

[He looks at the assortment of delicious treats, resisting the urge to sigh dreamily. He's hungry enough to eat a horse. Or at least ten cupcakes. He turns to her, hoping for small talk.]

Do you think there are any apple pie slices left?

[Action: Library]

[folklorist]

[ With his wing mostly healed now Helios can resume his duties at the library. So it's only natural that he notes the young girl in the library looking around as if trying to find what to read. He smiles fondly because the selection is far and wide it's tricky sometimes to find exactly what you might want.

Helios will walk up to her with a soft smile. ]

Are you looking for anything in particular?

Action II

[de_bel_survivor]

[You'd think that after the draft, Kouki would use the Battle Dome to do some fighting scenarios. But no, he's running some relatively harmless simulations for a while.

He's at the console, adjusting the specifications to his liking.]

Just a biiit more...

Action II

[ex_tessen852]

[Suki will stumble on Ai at the Battle Dome. She was about to use it, but noticed someone else trying to.]

Hey? Did you need some help?

III

[fourthgenerationprincess]

[ Twilight's still getting over the Draft, and is weary from it, but she's happy to help a book lover. ] Ai. Good to see you again. How can I help you?

[gorehowl]

Ai. [Garrosh says this casually - well, as casual as he can manage - when he walks past her laying down and star gazing. He's out on the town at night, wearing pants and a tight muscle shirt. He has a one handed ax at his waist, but not his full regalia. Really, he's out tonight feeling more than a little restless.

And hungry.

And because of that, he's just walking around listlessly, having found that the bar was still rejecting him.]
