monstrosities | 001 ⭐ [Accidental Voice / Action]

[Ruri certainly wasn't expecting to find herself in a rather thick pile of snow upon waking, but that's exactly what happens. Sitting up slowly, her hand brushes against a small book of sorts and, without realising it, she activates the voice function during her brief inspection before placing the journal back on the ground as she stands up.]

This is strange, I don't remember anywhere like this in Ikebukuro. Eh? These clothes... they aren't mine either. [As she examines the white dress, her hand brushes against something soft and downy. Snapping her head around to get a better view, Ruri stares in awe at the small red appendages.]

Ah! These are... wings? I knew strange things happened in the city, but this must be on a level with the Headless Rider. [She smiles softly.] Now I guess I can truly call myself a monster. [Ruri reaches back and strokes the feathers in wonder before giving a gentle tug. She pulls back, but shows no outward signs of pain, merely a look of curiosity and perhaps a bit too much calmness given the situation.] Ah... I suppose I shouldn't touch them after all, should I?

[Action]

[Alternatively, you might find the idol a few hours later exploring the village with mild interest. To be honest, she's still a lot more interested in the wings, and it shows in the way she keeps reaching back to touch them -- almost as if to make sure they haven't disappeared.]

[He doesn't recognise her when she's not singing okay!! She needs to actually talk more on television!]

Ah, yes! I moved there recently...

But first, I should probably explain your situation, right?

[ well neither does he ]

O-Oh, no, I just... I never expected to see another of Ikebukuro's idols here in Luceti! I'm just a bit surprised, that's all... [ nervous laugh ]

Ah, but where's the fun in life if you don't try something new now and again, eh~? [Trying to convince the guy you're stalking's girlfriend to hurt herself will totally win his heart. Yep.]

Dr. Shinra Kishitani, if you remember me.

[He sounds so excited right now. He's even giggling.]

Did I mention I was a big fan before? Because I am!

Another... world? How is that even possible?

[Yes, this officially topped the list of weird now.]

If we all have the same weakness then there's no real point to physical capabilities here, is there? Although I suppose it does help even things out for people like me, should the need ever arise. [Downplaying her own strength by acting frail was something she was used to.]

Ah... they are beautiful, but I wouldn't really call them accessories if they can get us killed...

[She can't help that she has no social skills with humans. They're too boring !! Aoba should understand that, gosh !]

I see.

I've already been informed of the basics, but any information you have would be very helpful, thank you -- ah... ? [He should feel honoured that she's asking his name, okay.]

[Yes, excellent. They can bond over it.]

Another? Ah, so you've also seen Yuuhei-san here then. [Slightly awkward pause.] Have you... been here long?

[She didn't exactly remember him by his name, but she certainly remembered him alright.]

Ah... you're the one that treated me at Yuuhei-san's apartment... [The night she thought she had died.]

Eh? I'm... very glad to hear that, Kishitani-sensei.

I suppose you're right, but... I don't exactly think that's my idea of fun... [It's only fun if there are monsters involved !! And yeah dying is not at the top of her list, thank you Mairu.]

I... don't really know. It's not something I honestly think about much, but that's what they're generally portrayed as, isn't it? Something out of reach.

Some people wear necklaces and ties that can be used to strangle them by someone desperate enough. It's the same principle.

Then again, I'd imagine it takes some degree of strength to tear them off, or a suitably sharp object to cut through, or the like. Not that I've actually tested them, but they aren't too fragile.

It's rather peaceful here, however, so the chances of you needing to try something are relatively low.

The Malnosso Organisation brought us here.

[Just when you think Ikebukuro is weird.]

...There's a guide that explains it better.

[Don't presume that other people should understand; that's just rude!!]

Kuronuma Aoba, miss! I guess, for starters, I should probably warn you to leave the wings alone? [She can have his respect when she sucks him...]

... I don't know. I-I was only told that... th-that they exist. [And that was years ago.]

[W/e, she's Hijiribe Ruri, she does what she wants !!]

Aoba-kun. [A slight nod of the head.] Eh? Is there... something wrong with them? [Sorry he needs to gain a few inches first, then maybe...]

Mal...nosso Organisation?

[That was certainly a new name for her as well.]

Ah, that would certainly be helpful, I think.

[A moment later, a link to the guide appear on the page.]

Here.

It seems like you've got a point. Ah... but I apologise, I suppose it's a bit morbid to speak of something like that upon first meeting someone, isn't it?

You were... told that they exist? I thought that faith was something that most people decided for themselves... [Sadly she doesn't understand that he truly just... didn't know until he was told, not that he was forced to believe.]

Faith? [Like belief?] What... uh...

... I was told a... l-long time ago. F-from my... m-my mother. [It sounds better than saying "my maid".]

Personally I find death as reasonable a conversation as any in this place. Ah, yes. Anyone who dies here tends to find themselves alive again a week or so later, though they're often missing something. [ He giggles. ] Welcome to Luceti.

[See this is why 'those people' are after her!!]

Well, now that you have them, it'll be... really bad for you if they get injured. [He's got all the inches he needs elsewhere (evilsmirk).]

[ their own awkward people corner ]

Yes, quite a while, actually. A little over a year, I think? S-So, if you need anything, I can do my best to help...

Yes, that would be me! [She can't see it, but he's puffing his chest out with pride.]

I was going to try and get your autograph back then, but things got too troublesome that night...
