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.]

How do you know until you try~!?

[She's persistent.]

Thank you, Yuuhei-san.

[Reading reading reading read.]

Experiments and... reversible deaths? Just when you think Ikebukuro is as strange as it gets...

Are you saying... you don't know what faith is? [She's certainly not judging, merely curious.]

[No, they're just jealous they can't be flaw-free, serial killing, semi-Vampiric idols too !!]

I guess you mean... we can die if they're badly injured. Things like that... ah, they aren't common around here, are they?

[O-oh Aoba-kun... dokidoki goes her kokoro (alright maybe; but only if he's wearing a shark mask or something, okay?!)]

Missing something... then you mean, death isn't permanent here? That's a bit troubling to hear. Oh, but... thank you, ah -- ?

[Clearly the best corner ever.]

Eh? A year? I... take it we're stuck here for good then. [Not that she exactly minds a fresh start.] Thank you for your offer, it's very kind of you. If you could direct me to a place to buy new clothes, it would be very much appreciated. This dress... isn't exactly mine after all.

E-Excuse me? You wanted my... ah! I see. I... apologise for causing you such trouble, Kishitani-sensei. [Troublesome didn't even begin to cover that night...] Ah... since I'm here now, I'd be glad to sign something for you if you'd like. Once I find my way around, that is...

[Okay this girl was officially starting to worry her...]

Ah... I wouldn't really know what to do, regardless of the situation, but... thank you for the offer. [Except not really because she's really creeping her out, but Ruri's just trying to be polite.]

It is strange...but between the experiments and the drafts, Luceti's quiet.

[Which is rather nice for Shizuo. Big brother haven't RAGE in a while.]

Troubling? Most would be comforted by the fact that they can't die permanently, I'd imagine.

Joshua is fine. And you are?

[w/e w/e, she's totally outclassed by Kasuka and all his flawlessness anyway! Your faves could never!!]

Not really... outside of the drafts, anyway.

[The safety word is 'Izumii'.]

Ah, I wouldn't say for good. It's complicated, but people do somehow get home... [ he would explain more but there seem to be more pressing matters at hand! ]

There's a clothing shop in the town center. Do you know where that is? You can probably find your own clothes there, and extras if you need them.

Faith... a-as in... belief? [That is what it means, right?] I... wh-what has that to do with...?

You haven't... had to experience any of it yourself, have you?

[It's not like she cares even a little bit or anything, okay !! She's just... curious.]

Eh? Yes, of course, you're right. I'm more worried about those that... don't exactly deserve a second chance. Though if it's as peaceful as you say, I suppose there's little need for worry at all.

Joshua then. My name is Ruri Hijiribe; it's nice to meet you.

[Heart shattered, no will to live, etc etc. Find another famous idol to suck you, jerk !!]

Eh? There are drafts here? So... it's not exactly peaceful then.

[It's 'k. If she wants to stop she'll just rip his heart out or something. No need to traumatise the poor boy!]

I see. That's quite fortunate then, I suppose. [Actually, she hasn't decided if going home would be good or not right not.]

I'm not quite sure, but I believe I'm relatively close. Ah, but... without my belongings, I can't really pay for anything...

That's right. [She pauses briefly, considering his question.] I just... it's curious, that's all.

[But I want the vampiiiire. Or Kasukun.]

Yeah... but overall, there's usually peace outside of the drafts, and only certain people are selected to go on them.

[>implying Aoba has a heart
>laughingshizuos.jpg]

Oh, um, you don't have to worry about that! See, there's no money in circulation here, so if you need something it'll be free...

Not personally...but I've seen others.

[Which means...Ruri will be a part of them as well. That's...not good.]

Are you far from the village?

... Why?

Those things tend to have a way of working out. After all, there's plenty of punishments aside from death.

The pleasure is mine, Ruri.

Ah, no, don't apologize! It was those rotten paparazzi's fault!

...You would?! Really?!

...Hmpth. I see.

Maybe I can figure something else out later...
