Mao's Battlebook: Entry 001 ♪ action

[blazing_heart]

<sub>[Hey Luceti!

There's this one redhead, who's walking around the village as if he was looking for someone. He doesn't really seem lost, but judging from clothes he's wearing, he's obviously new here.

After a moment of searching though, he scratches the back of his head and makes a thoughtful look. It seems he won't find his friends here. But they're okay for sure, so there's nothing to worry.

And so, instead, Mao turns around and walks up to the first person he sees.]</sub>

Excuse me! Can you tell me where am I?

I guess not many people use tonfa...

_{[But of course they are weapons! You didn't know that either~?]}

[accepted]

Guess not. You still haven't told me a tonfa is.

[No!! Sob. What happened to the good old sword.]

[blazing_heart]

They are... uh, sticks with handles? ...I guess that doesn't sound too impressive, huh? I'd be best if I could just show them to you.

_{[But there are a lot of people who use swords!]}

[accepted]

Alright then, we'll go look for them now. You find your clothes somewhere around here yet?

[Well there needs to be more sword users and less sticks with handles users!]

[penetrated]

Then, let's get moving! [Aaaaaaand he'll lead him off to the shops. He needs to get warm now, and they can talk as they go!]

So, like I said, this place is Luceti. You were... brought here by a group named the Malnosso.

[blazing_heart]

_{[looking around. Oh, there they are!]}

Yup~ Found them!

_{[But swords are boring!]}

[blazing_heart]

_{[following you now~]}

Malnosso? Never heard of them...

[penetrated]

Before I came here, I hadn't either...

[following the leader, the leader, the leader~]

While the actual reason isn't really clear, most people think they've brought us to this village to... experiment on us.

[She follows and shuts the door behind them, then gestures to one of the tables.]

Please, have a seat. I'll get you something to eat. Everything is free here, so you can have as much as you like.

[accepted]

Great! We can go look for your 'sticks' once you've got them on.

[But you can slash stuff with them! What good are sticks. With handles. He'll have to see to believe how impressive these sticks can be.]

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Well...

[ He runs a hand through his hair, wondering where to start. ]

Every so often, there are these experiments. The guys who run this place make really weird stuff happen. Like once we got stuck with these masks that'd make you act a certain way, or blow you up.

[Action] butbut ;o;

[presumablyalone]

They're these group if scientists, they experiment on us sometimes though I don't know why they brought us here exactly. [He tilts his head, scratching his cheek] Someone said they use us to try and find a way home... I think.

[Action] no buts! /hugs

[blazing_heart]

They experiment on us?!

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[he'll sit down with a happy big smile. Free food is always a good thing~!]}

Thanks a lot!

[blazing_heart]

Experiment?! _{[that doesn't sound good!]}

[blazing_heart]

They're called "tonfa", not "sticks"!

_{[tonfa are awesome!]}

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

What? They really do things like that?!

[Action]

[healedbythelight]

[Cheria approaches the counter to gather some appropriate baked goods. Nothing that's too sugary or heavy on the stomach. If Mao hasn't eaten for a while, it's best to keep things simple or he might get sick.

A short while later, she approaches the table with a plate of cinnamon rolls, sweet buns and sandwiches, which she sets down in front of Mao.]

Here you are. Dig in.

[accepted]

Right, right. Tonfa, not sticks.

[Caius turns and walks outside to wait for Mao. Also swords are awesome-er!]

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

All of this looks so good~

_{[He'll be eating now... And from the way he's eating, he might seem like he haven't eaten anything for a while... But the truth is he didn't even feel hungry moments ago!]}

[blazing_heart]

That's right. And remember about that.

<sub>[Following you.

And never. Tonfa are the most awesome!]</sub>

[accepted]

If I forget you can just remind me what those sticks with handles of yours are again anyway.

[Yeah he's teasing now.

...Can't use sword rain with tonfa...]

[penetrated]

Yeah... at the end of most months, they do something to us for an 'experiment'. [he really doesn't know how to make this sound good.]

[Action]

[healedbythelight]

[Whether he's actually hungry or not, Cheria's just glad he has such a healthy appetite. She'll just wait for him to finish eating before launching into the full explanation of Luceti.]

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[He'll finish eating pretty quickly.]}

That was good.
