Day 387
[Option 1; Action]

[This... is a disaster.

Slumped on the ground in defeat, Yuuki can't believe her luck at all. On the day she sets out to attend a school. An actual school for the first time, with other people her age, with other vampires and even humans alike, she gets kidnapped. How can this be her luck!? Dismayed, she stares at the device she's slipped off her ear, as though the words 'just kidding' will be written on it somewhere. Of course there's no such thing. For a moment, she can't help but wonder if her father is the one responsible. He had been the one most nervous regarding her introduction to society, and about attending school. In fact, she's only allowed to attend because her brother is going to join her.

After this, though, she has to wonder if her parents might just go back on their word and make her go home.

Which only leaves her one option....!]

I have to find a way out of here myself...

[Before her brother, mother, or father even know something has happened.]

[Option 2, Video]

[Luckily, this weird communication device is pretty easy to use. She's fiddled with it a little, and decides to try and test it out.]

Hello...? People can hear me, right? [Can they see her, too?]

It's a pleasure to meet everyone. [Friendly, and with a smile] I'm new here, and I was wondering if people could answer a few questions for me. First- has anyone heard of Kurosu Academy?

[Option 3; Pick your own adventure]

[Find Yuuki anywhere! Stopping to get snacks, exploring the school, lingering outside of the Blood Shack, or anywhere else public you might think of. She has no memories of Marina. Her event info can be found here! She also has a Permissions Post which is always up regarding her vamprism and abilities! Feel free to fill that out so that I don't step on any toes. ♥]

	I have. You told me. [A beat. Wait a minute-] Yuuki. . .? [He finds himself saying her name with familiarity before he's able to catch himself. So she believes she's new, does she. . .] (Reply to this) (Thread)

	I told you...? [She's at such a loss. She doesn't remember meeting him to begin with...] Ah- that... it is my name. [So much for keeping her name quiet.] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	S-Sorry. I guess you don't remember. [It's upsetting in a different way than how he and Soushi's memories of each other don't match up at all. That just hurts.] My name is Kazuki. Um. I can answer any questions you might have, although I'll say right now that there's a lot that's more confusing than otherwise. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[She's already at a loss, so she can't imagine it being any more so than it already is. At the least, she'd like to try and understand as much as she can in the moment.]

It's good to meet you, Kazuki-san.

[Or- to meet him again? That is what is at the foremost front of her mind.]

I'm afraid all of this is new to me. If you know anything about the reason for why I might not have any memories of you or anything else here, I think I'd like to focus on that, first.

[A question which happens to be one of the more complex ones.]

I think it just happens sometimes. There have been people who have returned here after being gone for awhile, and have no memories of their previous stay. And yet other times, I think I've heard of people being able to recall everything.

It may also have to do with the dimensional stabilizer— [He stalls, frowning] That is, ah- so far as we know, this is actually virtual reality. Only our minds are experiencing being in Marina, while our bodies are kept elsewhere. So your memories may be due to some glitch.

	[Here before... coming and disappearing, a dimensional stablizer,and virtual reality.] Ahh... hold on. [Lifting her hands up to her head she tries to process that all one thing at a time. How in the world...?] So what I'm experiencing right now... is more like a dream? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; soukyuu 2016-08-05 02:04 am UTC (link)
	[Yep. He knew he went on too much.] Y-Yeah. Basically. It's like an extremely vivid dream. Though you still do have to eat and sleep. . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; trappedinresin 2016-08-05 10:44 am UTC (link)
	I still just don't really get it. [She frowns, lifting a hand up to her lips in thought.] I mean... I remember I was on my way to the academy. How could I have been here long? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; soukyuu 2016-08-06 12:56 am UTC (link)
	The flow of time is unusual here. That's one of the only ways to put it. I'm sorry I can't give you the answers you want. All of it still confuses me, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; trappedinresin 2016-08-06 03:40 pm UTC (link)
	[She supposes that as a fellow captive, they're really in the same boat in the end.] . . . Thank you for the help anyway. [Who, outside of a god, could change the flow of time?] How long have you been here for? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; soukyuu 2016-08-06 08:04 pm UTC (link)
	Almost a month. [Which sounds so long, yet it also isn't. He stalls a moment after that.] I know this may be really forward of me, but. . . you've been one of my good friends here. I know you don't remember, and that's okay, but I'm here if you ever want someone to talk to. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

[It catches her off guard. His sincerity in the moment, as well as the revelation. She's aware that he already knew her. He's said as much already, but knowing someone is completely different from considering them a friend.

She stares, shocked. He's human... right? They've only met in prison, And yet despite all that...

For the first time since her arrival, she feels a little of the nerves and anxiety festering inside drain away.]

Thank you, Kazuki-san. Please continue to be my friend now.

	[He's a little surprised (and maybe confused) by her own shock. Is it really something so big? He really doesn't know much about her history, but is aware that she's a vampire. Why would that bother him, when she's so nice and genuine?] Of course. I know you're a good person. I've really enjoyed being able to spend time with you in the past.

	You'll have to tell me about the things I've forgotten then, some time. I'm sure it can't be fun being the only one who remembers. [Honestly, she's still perplexed on how she could forget something like that. With a grin, she leans forward and speaks excitedly.] And in the meantime, lets make some new memories!

[Her reaction makes him laugh. For her to not remember saddens him, but he's both willing and wanting to start over again if they have to. She's become a dear friend to him in his time here, so it's worth it.]

I would be more than happy to.

[Pausing, he recalls something she rather likes.]

I run a place called Bean Crushers here. It's a coffee shop, but of course I can make you something extra sweet [not to mention pastries. they aren't parfaits, but she'll like them, right?] if you ever want to come by.

Mm. You can even start your own, if you don't take over for any of the bot run ones.

[Oh! That actually brings something else to mind.]

There are things called rehabilitation points. You get them by doing things around the Dome that build morale or with friends, or things like enriching your life here. Taking classes at the education center, doing sports, going to the library; there's lots of things. When you collect them, you can then use them to earn things, like items from home, or, like mentioned above, to be given a space to start your own business. It's pretty easy in my opinion.

	[All of which sounds pretty incredible. Some of it maybe even fun- especially if running around actually counts for such a thing. It's so strange though.] I thought doing hard time was all about balls and chains and people singing depressing songs. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	It really is odd, huh? I guess that's just how this world does it. [. . .] Although they don't take our 'crimes' into context at all. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; trappedinresin 2016-08-17 11:42 am UTC (link)
	Yeah! I can tell that much for sure. [Her face falls and she looks less than amused.] I'm so angry. Some of these things aren't even a crime at all! (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; soukyuu 2016-08-18 12:01 am UTC (link)
	You could say that again. [While he doesn't appear as indignant as her, there's still something of the sort.] I wouldn't expect to be sent to prison for being truant to class, or forgetting to return a book to the library. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Mine are ridiculous as well. Gluttony? I like food but I'm not a glutton. [It's said with a pout. How rude are the wardens.] And it took issue with my fiance, too. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; soukyuu 2016-08-18 09:43 pm UTC (link)
	That does sound stupid. I got drug use because I work with caffeinated drinks. [He blinks.] Your fiance. . .? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; trappedinresin 2016-08-18 10:34 pm UTC (link)
	How does that even make sense... [Caffeine isn't a drug. It's commonly consumed in tea all the time. It's just another weird excuse of the wardens, she supposes. Lifting her shoulders up, she shrugs.] I don't really understand what the problem is. We've been engaged since my birth, and it's approved by our parents, so it shouldn't be an issue. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	video; soukyuu 2016-08-19 12:42 am UTC (link)
	[Because in reality caffeine is a drug. That's about it.] That seems awful young. . . I don't think I'd want something like that to be chosen for me. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
