Who: anyone
When: Day 126, mid- to late-afternoon
Where: outside near HQ
What: nature

[while some of you are returning back home with whatever supplies and foods you've gathered, after whatever adventures and fun were had, you may notice that there's a darker... green clinging to the side of HQ.

it looks like nature has spilled out from the unfinished fifth level and some from the cracks in the lower levels. a patch of thriving young wood is growing where the vines and moss creeps out from. not large enough to yet dominate the landscape, but growing fast, creeping toward the forests and the mountains...

do ye enter?]

((hiii, Jeva is running nature! if you want to play around as a nature thing, feel free to! I will be on IRC in #thusia and-or reachable by plurk or gchat :3))

[but

nnnnnnnnnngh]

You're... you're probably right.

Okay.

[CLEARLY BOTHERED. but okay. we will go get healed and then RETURN TO SHONEN HARDER.

for now, though, getting up and starting to just. limp back towards HQ.]

[how about if I head in a different direction with equal amounts of discomfort

JUST TO NOT HAVE TO WALK WITH YOU

but actually pretty content because he had FUN]

[... but no]

Where are you going?

If you're injured, you should head back too.

[IF I HAVE TO GET HEALED, SO DO YOU, OKAY]

It's fine.

It's not fine. Where are you going anyway?

[can't really just say the long way home, can I?]

...To clean this.

[dead animals yes]

It's better if you do that at home. You have to get it purified anyway.

[SABERLANCER DO NOT MAKE HER DRAG YOU

attempting to grab your hand]

[well his free hand is attached to his injured shoulder, which helps you

but the moment you take his hand he gets a very blatant kind of terrified expression and jerks away]

[... but why?]

Um.

I'm sorry if I hurt you. Please at least come back and get healed. I'm going to, so it'll feel wrong if you don't as well.

[girls are horrible]

...I can't be healed by the same one that would heal you.

[squints]

Well, I was going to go get healed by one of the gods. They'll be able to fix you too.

Dellen can only heal humans. Leedin's prices are uncomfortable at times.

[please hold while we process]

You're not a human?

[that's weird

that's really weird

but

okay]

Then... come back with me to my apartment. We have a lot of healing supplies there, so you can get fixed up.

Not anymore.

[giving Shirou a very troubled look]

Do you know a boy who looks just like you?

Kotomine? Yes, he...

We're kind of related. But his dad is really messed up, so he ended up like that. Did he bother you?

He thinks I owe him my guts.

You definitely don't.

[very firm about this. YOU DON'T OWE HIM YOUR GUTS, JUST FYI.]

If you see him, you should just get away from him. He's a dangerous person.

Then you're nothing like him?

[a very long thinky silence. nothing like him? no, that's wrong. they're actually the exact same person, aren't they? except...]

We're the same except for one thing. He likes hurting people, and I hate it.

...Alright, then.

[that'll have to be good enough

have a polite half-bow]

It's a pleasure to make your acquaintance.

[a slightly deeper bow.]

Nice to meet you. You can call me Shirou.

[hesitantly stepping back towards HQ

are you gonna come, or...?]

Diarmuid. Or Saber.

[urrrgh sure. he'll plod along behind, nervous all the while]

[yay]

Saber? That's funny. I know a Saber from back at home... Um, she's really different from you, though. [pauses.] She's a girl. [ahuehue girls]

Small and blonde? I've met a version of her if so. But if you know her you're...

[from a version of home]

Right, that's her! Dad said she stayed behind in the jungle where we came from. But she's strong, so she'll definitely be okay there.
