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?

_{[Mao's looking, looking... Oh hey, that's...!]}

Found them!

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Really?

[ Firo bounds over, excited to finally see these things. ]

Wow...

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[Mao swings his tonfa a few times, then turns to Firo with a grin.]}

So? What do you think about them?

[Action]

[immamartillo]

They look pretty neat. ...A little like those nightsticks the bulls carry around but you hold 'em different.

[ When Mao stops swinging them, Firo'll reach out to touch one. ]

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Nightsticks?

_{[there Firo, you can even borrow them for a moment, if you want. But only for a moment.]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

It's another kinda weapon.

[ He smiles as he tests their weight, and then he hands them back to Mao. ]

Pretty neat!

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[Mao smiles.]}

Thanks!

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ And he can't resist asking... ]

How good are you with these?

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Pretty good, I guess?

_{[so modest, isn't he?]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

I'd like to see you back that up someday.

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[he laughs a bit.]}

No problem.

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Great.

But before that, you should find a place to stay. The apartments here are free, or you can stay at the Visitor's Center until you find somewhere.

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

...I see. Well, I guess I'll stay at that Visitor's Center for now.

_{[he's kind of tired already.]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Ya want me to show you the way?

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Yeah. _{[he smiles.]} Could you?

[Action]

[immamartillo]

Sure. This way.

[ Firo turns to leave the store and waits for Mao before exiting. ]

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Thanks a lot!

_{[Mao just follows!]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ The Welcome Center isn't far and it doesn't take them long to arrive there. Firo props the door open. ]

There's a buncha' friendly people workin' here. They'll help you get settled in. Think you'll be alright?

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

Of course I will!

_{[he's not a little kid, you know?]}

[Action]

[immamartillo]

[ Firo chuckles and nods. ]

Alright, then. Let me know when you're all settled in, okay?

[Action]

[blazing_heart]

_{[Mao gives you a thumbs up.]}

Okay! Thanks for the help!

[Action]

[immamartillo]

No problem.

[ Firo waves. ]

Good luck, Mao.
