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?

[blazing_heart]

I guess so? Anyway, I've never heard about "Luceti" before.

[penetrated]

Then, I guess it's up to me to welcome you! It'll take a while so... should we find your stuff while I explain?

[blazing_heart]

Yeah!...

_{[he shivered.]}

I'm freezing.

[penetrated]

Ah! Then- [aaaand he'll slip off his school blazer and hand it to Mao.

... wow, it really is cold.] Th-this should do for a while, right?

[blazing_heart]

_{[he takes it, then looks at you.]}

You sure it's okay?

[penetrated]

S-sure! I mean, I've been here a while, so I'm more used to the weather here.

[ignoring the fact that he's shivering. yep.]

[blazing_heart]

In that case, thanks!

_{[he smiles and puts on the blazer.]}

[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]

_{[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.

[blazing_heart]

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

[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.]

[blazing_heart]

Wha- B-but--!! That's bad! Really bad!

_{[experimenting on people... Mao is against that!]}

[penetrated]

I-I know, but... that's the way things are here!

[join the club!]

[blazing_heart]

This isn't right... Can't we do anything?

[penetrated]

There isn't anything we can do directly... we just have to make do here and try to find a way home.

[blazing_heart]

But that won't be easy, right?

[penetrated]

Um... while it's not exactly easy, there's a lot of people here that are smarter than me working on it, so I have faith!

[blazing_heart]

Yeah, I'm sure someone will find a way out of here sooner or later.

[penetrated]

That's the spirit! So, while we put our faith in those people, it's best to make the most of our time here.

[blazing_heart]

Make the most of our time here, huh? Well, I guess that's the only thing we can do.

[penetrated]

Essentially... [Thankfully, he's saved from musing over that by their arrival at the clothes shop!]

Ah, this is the place for now!

[blazing_heart]

This?

_{[He gives the shop a curious look. He has no money to pay for anything.]}

[penetrated]

Mm! [He catches that look! Most likely...]

Ah, we don't have any money here, so there's no need to pay for things! ... I'm not sure if we can still call it a 'shop' like that, but that's how it is!!

[blazing_heart]

That's weird, but it's definitely not something you can complain about, right?

_{[because it's good things are for free here. Definitely good.]}
