Day 389 | Angry/Sobbing Action
[It might not be too difficult to spot this guy...

Between the lingering expression of anger resting on his face -- as well as the way his jawline is completely tense -- it might be clear to some that he's new to this place. Of course, if those aren't telling signs, there's always the weird thing attached to his ankle (but mostly the fact that he's still wearing the hideous outfit he woke up in). Yoon is, without a doubt, frustrated and completely worried about the idiots people he'd last been with. On top of the fact that they're notorious for drawing attention to themselves, there's... the matter of him... actually caring a lot about their safety.

Damn it... are they even here?!

He can honestly be found all over the place. Due to the fact that he's trying to cover as much ground as quickly as possible... he's not going to be lingering in one place for very long, however. He will trek through every Sector if he's able to, refusing to let weariness stop him from ensuring that he actually is... all alone in this place.

While swallowing down a painful lump, he eventually does take a break. It's at this point, he can be found in a corner, doing everything to keep his face hidden. He doesn't like people seeing or even knowing when he's crying. All around him are strangers, too, so like hell he's going to let them witness this!!!
]

Damn it...!

[The words slip out through clenched teeth as one hand balls into a hard fist. It will be after the tears finally stop coming, that he furiously wipes at his face and begins the search yet again. In spite of the heaviness of his legs, in spite of the weight resting on his chest, seemingly making it difficult to breath... he can't -- he won't give up on his search...]

[They very well may have been walking in circles around one another. In the past Kija may have thought that the most important bonds of all were between the dragons and their master. But, of course, he knows better than that now.

Which is why on days like this, he makes sure to explore the dome as best he can. It isn't like with the dragons-- he knows Zeno isn't here. He can't feel his presence, as frustrating as that is. But he has no way of knowing if someone from his village or anyone else were to appear.

When he sees the orange jumpsuit, his eyes lift up to the fluffy strawberry blonde hair above, a feather seen from the back. That is--]


Yoon-!

[Calling out to him, Kija's picks up his feet to cross over to him as quickly as he can.]

Yoon, it is me! [So stop walking and turn around!]

[He's just about to pause next to what looks like a place that has... quite a few structures. Once again, he's finding himself tempted to go and investigate an area -- to see, first-hand, exactly what kinds of places are in here. But, of course, his priority prevents him from giving into that desire.

What does have him coming to a stop... is the sound of a familiar voice. Almost as though his body's been struck by a small bolt of lightening, he goes rigid and immediately spins around, eyes latching onto the first comforting sight he's seen since he arrived.
]

...!!! [His teeth clench together as a look of relief appears. So... they are here! Once the space between them is closed, he gives into the urge to smile just for a moment. In spite of the redness of his eyes, there's definitely more of a glint to them than there was just minutes earlier.]

Kija! [There's hope within his eyes -- reluctant... almost cautious hope, but hope nonetheless.] So, does that mean...Yona the others are here, too?

[The fact that he's been crying is obvious. There's no missing the redness of his eyes, or the liquid that still clings to his lashes. However, Kija isn't one to remark on it. Instead, he lifts both hands to rest on either side of his shoulders reassuringly with a smile.

It's good to see Yoon again. He would never hope for the other to wind up in prison in this place, but it is good to see and know that he is well.]


The princess is here as well. Myself, Hak, Shin-Ah, the princess, and Jae-Ha.

[He's reassuring, although upset is clear in his eyes a moment later. Eyes creasing, his voice quiets as he continues on unhappily.] Zeno had been here as well. But he disappeared around a week ago. I cannot feel his presence in the dome any longer. [Which has hurt another here very deeply, even outside of their original Happy Hungry Bunch.]

[This is why he likes Kija -- even if he can be incredibly naive, he doesn't find joy in teasing him or pointing out things the way Thunder Beast likes to. The gesture of reassurance earns a small smile as he sighs. Of course, the small smile grows a little as he hears the list of names.] Great...! [All present and accounted for, then! ...It's a little weird that Jae-Ha is here since he hadn't been with them, but...oh well.] With everyone here, we can form our escape plan!

[He's already cycling through potential plans, one hand lifted to his chin as a thoughtful look appears. With his brain and the strength of the three dragons plus Thunder Beast, there's a great chance they'll find their way out of here! It's not until there's mention of a... Zeno(?), that he lets himself be distracted.] Zeno?

[The way one brow lifts and his head tilts, might make it clear he has no idea who that even is...Though, just in case:] Who's Zeno?

[For a long moment Kija simply stares at him, his blue eyes blinking without comprehension. The question is so fully unexpected, that it takes a moment for it to process. Who is Zeno.]

. . . [Who is--]

Huh!? Yoon...! [The gentle grip upon his shoulders tightens just a little and he shakes the younger boy.] Yoon, what is it that you last remember at home? [On one hand, Kija isn't in last place anymore!! (Yes it's a competition). But on the other hand, he doesn't want Zeno to have been forgotten, either.]

[The sheer urgency of the question has his eyes widening. Being shaken? Well, that just further ingrains the idea that something... something is very wrong, here. Kija can be a bit of a... well... He can be very excitable (just to put it nicely, maybe) when it comes to certain things, but something about this...

With a slight frown and heavy sigh, he mutters:
] You know, it's a little difficult to think when you're shaking me like this.

[He's mostly joking. Maybe. Regardless, his expression is serious as he glances upward, one finger briefly resting on his chin.] After Jae-Ha refused to join us, Yona asked him to take us to meet his captain. I made dinner, we ate, and then... we went to sleep.

[It was a fairly calm night, considering all the excitement they'd had before that. Tracking down the third dragon had been an adventure in itself -- not to mention the sinking disappointment he's sure Yona felt when the guy flat out turned her down...]

[He immediately stops. He's learned since long ago to be careful, and the last thing he wants to do is shake too hard or accidentally hurt him.

But in the wake of things, all he can do is frown. To think that one of them would be come with memories that only go so far.]


Jae-Ha has since changed his mind. He joined us upon leaving Awa, and has been an incredibly trustworthy and reliable companion.

[While they may still disagree sometimes on things, those differences don't affect how they operate as a group. Although personally he's unsure what to think of the other more recently, it doesn't much change things.]

And Zeno is the Yellow Dragon, Ouryuu. We had no need to search him out, he found us and we've traveled together for some time now. [Even if he doesn't contribute much in the way of battle...

He's determined to train him better how to fight once reunited again.]

[Oh-- someone's crying. She doesn't recognize him or his scent, but she can't just leave someone alone to be upset all by themselves, either. Concern is clearly etched upon her face. Reaching out, she lifts a hand to gently rest it upon his back.

She hopes she's not surprising him.]


Hey- [Softly, so as not to surprise him too much!]

Can I help you...?

[The touch definitely surprises him. It's... gentle, though, and it actually reminds him of--

...Well, the voice stops that thought before it can even properly form. In spite of having been startled, his body isn't especially tense. Even if that voice isn't the one he was... honestly hoping to hear, there's something about it that has him.........

...Well, anyway.
] ...I'm fine.

[Other than a glance back, he doesn't do much to make it easy to see the tear-streaked face. It's only after taking enough time to carefully wipe the tears away (he doesn't want to make his face even redder than it already is, after all)... that he finally turns to properly face her.

There's the softest of blinks as he momentarily studies her; she's... surprisingly pretty. Not that the thought lingers in his mind for long, since there are plenty of other ones to focus on. He almost awkwardly looks to the side.
] I just got some dust in my eyes.

[...He already knows that's not remotely believable, though. With a sigh, he tries to will away the heat forming on his cheeks. Time to try focusing her attention on something else.] ...Have you been here long?

[In the end, Yuuki simply lets him compose himself. There's no reason to point out his tears or make him feel somehow worse than he already is. The first day here is always the worst day, and there's any number of questions that he must have.

With a sympathetic smile, she scratches one of her cheeks.]


I hate when that happens. [Getting 'dust in the eyes'. She wont argue that she knows better.]

I've-- been here a while. [If she tells him how long, he might grow a little more upset.] But I've been here long enough to be able to answer most questions you might have.

[She lifts a hand up to point to her chest.] I'm on the defense force! So ask me anything! I'd be glad to help.

[Oh-]

I'm Yuuki, by the way.

[He has a sneaking suspicion that she's simply going along with his claim, considering that smile. It's... kind of nice, even if a tiny part of him feels as though he's being treated like a child. He suppresses a sigh.

A... while, huh? Either she's lost track of time, or she simply doesn't want to tell him. He's willing to bet on the latter. With his lips drawing together tightly, he considers outright asking her to elaborate. But... she's very quickly moving onto something else. That just further proves his guess, doesn't it? With a wry smile, his mouth goes crooked with a hint of frustration.
] ...

["Defense force?" With a faint furrowing on his brow, he gives a curious sound.] I'm Yoon. [...] What's the defense force?

[He's right to the point, isn't he. Well, it's a fair question, especially inside prison. She bows briefly, before launching into her explanation.]

It's nice to meet you, Yoon-kun.

[Polite!]

The defense force is a group of people who have come together to try and protect the people who have been kidnapped to this place. Whether it's from some of the weird things the wardens are responsible for, or because someone who probably does deserve prison has arrived. [Lifting a hand up she taps her chin.] Something like our own militia? Or... [She's not sure what else to call it.]

Anyway, we're dedicated to protecting people, and we're also trying to find a way out of this place.

[Yoon...kun?

He listens to the explanation in silence, carefully taking in the details. So, there's a group of people that has formed for the sake of protecting everyone innocent. Just...how many innocent people have wound up in this place, for this to be a necessity? And just what kinds of things have happened, for someone to even think to suggest it?

With a frown marring his brow, he decides to go ahead and ask -- though, he'd be lying if no part of him was worried about what the answer might be.
] Exactly what kinds of weird things are the wardens responsible for?

Sometimes it's just something silly or maybe just strange.

[There's really not just one thing. It's difficult because things can go from alright to terrible in the span of a week.]

They can do things that make people act contrary to their personality. Other times people might wind up having strange animal like ears or tails, while others people will be trapped inside a small bubble and forced to kiss in order to leave.

[The last one being more embarrassing than anything else.]

But in the past, some of those events have had poor results. If a person's personality is changed to something too extreme... who knows what they might do while affected. Or, as a different example, if a human was made into a vampire for the day... depending on the type, it could be disastrous.

[She frowns...]

What is worse, is that glitches have happened from time to time. I... [Her frown deepen] I don't....really want to scare or alarm you too much with those sorts of stories... [Does he want to know? She thinks everyone deserves to, but he might have to prepare himself more for them.]

[She's setting off for work, wearing an apron with the logo of the flower shop where she works on over her clothes. A few blocks away from home, she sees the upset boy in the orange jumpsuit, and as she runs towards him to help she trips over a tile of the sidewalk.]

Ack!

[She lands on her knees; so much for being helpful. Oh well. A satchel of seeds, a riceball for lunch, and a book with illustrations fall from her bag.]

[He looks in her direction just in time to see her falling. With a quiet sound of surprise, he pauses for just a moment. Guess there are clumsy people everywhere, huh...? For some reason, the image of Yona rushing forward to help that girl stand... pretty much forces its way into his head. It's with an almost exasperated sigh, he rushes forward to do just that.

Sure, he might not know a thing about this place, but that isn't any reason to go on about his way without... first helping some girl to her feet, right? Besides, maybe a part of it's for the sake of playing nice. Maybe some part of it's just so he can ask her some questions, once she's comfortably standing.
]

...Are you all right? [Reaching out a hand, he silently offers to help her stand. It's after she's standing, that he tilts his head at the things that fell from her bag. He slowly kneels down for the sake of getting a closer look at the book. Briefly, he considers picking the things up, but he doesn't know how this stranger would react to some random person touching her stuff.]

Yeah, I'm okay... Thank you so much!

[She only scraped her knee a bit, but she's embarrassed by the way she fell. She normally wouldn't mind, but she intended to help him out and not the other way around. But if that distracts him from crying, then perhaps it's not so bad. She grabs his hand with gratitude, and offers a soft smile.

As she's up, she picks up the seeds, the snack, and the book. It's originally written in strange curvy letters and has a blond boy drawn on the cover.]


Sorry for bothering you. You just got here, didn't you? Want some help? A riceball?

[She doubts she can give him what he wants, which is probably a way back home or someone he loves, but even something small would be alright. He's just a few years younger than she is. He reminds her of her late little brother even if he's not so much like him.]

[He shakes his head at the apology for "bothering him" since... he doesn't see it that way, at all. For a moment, he keeps his focus on the book -- until his eyes land on the scrape that's on her knee, that is.] You should clean that soon, so that it doesn't get infected.

[His voice is stern; it practically leaves no room for argument. As for those three questions, he moves to stand and waves one hand almost dismissively.] I'm fine. I'm just... looking around, for now-- [GRRRRRRRRWWWWWWWWWWWWLLLLLLLLLL...] ...I, uh. I guess I probably should eat something.

[Damn his stomach... He'd planned to go find food soon. Sighing, he shakes his head. He still can't just take the last of someone's food -- not when it's someone he intends to learn things from. How else will he be able to start on his research of the other prisoners?] I can't just take your last riceball...

[Although...] Do you know where I can find supplies for treating injuries?

[The boy seems to be kind of all over the place, demanding before she can refuse and refusing before she can offer. She doesn't know if it's the nerves for being in a strange place, or just his regular personality.]

It's fine, there's a little first aid kid at my work. For my knee it's fine, but if you need them for something else maybe going to the clinic is better.

How about we split the riceball? Oh, or let's go to a place where they serve meals and order something else for you. [She smiles.] Believe it or not, food is free in this place! It's really surprising, and it never runs out! No one starves either.

2016-09-05 07:25 am UTC (link)
[It's only after the stream of questions have been asked, that he realizes he should probably reel it in...

There's a quick blink at the mention of the food being free here. In the matter of two seconds flat, he's wondering what the catch is. Is the food actually safe to eat? Really? Maybe they're slowly poisoning everyone............

............Actually, it might be better if he doesn't think about that kind of thing right this second. Not when he's standing in front of one of the kindest, gentlest people -- she... kind of reminds him of Ik-Soo. Damn it, now he's missing him even more, on top of everything else. With all of this -- and only if the woman looks closely, it's possible to see that his hands are trembling. He lifts his arms to wrap them around his upper body, a frown resting on his face as he does.

He releases a steadying exhale, and then shakes his head.
] I think I might have just lost my appetite, actually.

[It's his own fault for letting his thoughts run wild at a time like this.] Is it all right if I ask you about some people I'm looking for? We can talk while we go get your first aid kit, too.

[She does notice, and it only makes her feel more helpless. She thinks of her late little brother who died a bit younger than this kid, how he sobbed and had a hard time swallowing rice through his raw throat. She thinks of Zeno, sweet Zeno, that first time they talked. How he clung to that medallion and refused to eat because he wanted to die. Kaya wouldn't force food on him but she hoped she could do something for this boy. She couldn't help her little Kyo. She wasn't sure even today that she was of much help for Zeno, but she wants to believe so. In any case, she does feel like crying as well but she keeps herself collected.]

[It feels more like a coincidence that Jae-Ha happens upon Yoon. In part he's aware that it's simply a newcomer due to the jumpsuit. However he's quick to recognize the boy.

So he simply makes his way over, gently placing a hand atop his head.]


It's okay, Yoon. You're not alone.

[Well, it's not to say he doesn't recognize the green-haired dragon... That's not the reason for the look of confusion he gives Jae-Ha. With a furrowed brow, he lightly swats at the hand on his head.

His reason is pretty simple, honestly:
] How... do you know my name?

[And now he's folding his arms over his chest, giving Jae-Ha a very suspicious look.] I think I'd remember telling you... But, you were too busy trying to intimidate Yona to bother learning everyone's name, anyway.

[...Yeah, there's a little bitterness in his tone. Not that it's incredibly obvious, considering the incredible amount of "I DON'T THINK I TRUST YOU" forming in his tone.] ...Or is it because you already knew our names...

[...Crap, he IS a pirate. Oh, man... What if he'd been planning to trick them all along?! Hey, just because he's a dragon doesn't mean he has to be a good guy, right? The quirk of his brow will be the only indication of the incredibly crazy thoughts forming in his mind. Between the wariness and the confusion, it might make sense that he's suddenly taking a step backwards, not-so-casually placing a little distance between them.

He really needs to find Yona and the others...

[Just how is he supposed to even go about this?

Although if there's one thing he does know is how he treated the others all the way back then. He doesn't need to guess at all what that "when" is, either.]


There are reasons I can tell you, but I already know you're not going to believe me at all, even though they're the truth. Much of this place is confusing and jarring to begin with.

[Some part of him wants to just... take off running. Speed up his search of the others, and... yet...] ...

[His eyes narrow, steps pausing as he stares incredibly hard at Jae-Ha; he's doing his best to read the man's body language. He's learned a thing or two about how liars typically act. The suspicion doesn't fade even a little, but he does seem to be considering the possibility of other... reasons, or whatever. Finally, hand on hip, he sighs and speaks in a tone that implies he assumes he'll probably regret giving this guy a chance:]

. . .I guess, first, you should recall any kind of story you can. Something where the plot is very out there and even more so fantastical. [A beat.] Like the dragon legend, I suppose.

And the second is that you need to open your mind as much as possible. Because what I'm going to tell you will sound like the most asinine thing you've ever heard.

...

[Without intending to, his expression softens a bit in surprise at Jae-Ha's choice of words. Now that he's actually... considering the possibility of him not being an outright villain, he does have to admit that he seems a little different from when he'd first encountered him. With a heavy sigh, he frowns and deliberately gives a slight roll of his eyes, forcing away the softened expression.

Also... Him? not having an open mind? He's very open-minded, thanks.

...Okay, so there have been a few times (read: QUITE a few times) when he judged people he'd never even gotten to know, first. Like... Yona, for instance. And... well, isn't that what he's doing to Jae-Ha, right now? A quiet sound of frustration slips free as a hint of color rises to his cheeks. Sighing in annoyance, he avoids looking at the dragon as he speaks.

[To a degree Jae-Ha does have to bite back back with a dry remark. Yoon has always been this way, anyway. Jae-Ha considers him a part of his home and family all the same.

In the end, now, maybe even more than ever, does he need to step up as the big brother sort that he's proclaimed himself to be.

. . .First, though, he just lets out a breath.]


We're nowhere near home. I don't mean we're in a different country or the like— what I mean is we're not even on our own world. The people here are in the exact same position.

[He isn't even going to bring up the whole "universe" thing. . . Mostly as he, himself, still can't grasp the idea at all.]

Even the flow of time isn't steady, here. It fluctuates. For example, my last memories of home clearly do not match up with yours, seeing how you surprised you were with how I knew your name. For me, Yoon, it's been months since we met. It's been just as long since we left Awa, and when I last saw my Captain and her crew. Additionally there's the fact that time is also different back home- I've already been here for three weeks.

[Should he pause yet?]

I'm sure what you've at the very least recognized, too, is this place is so far advanced from home that it's practically incomprehensible. There's a great deal to learn. . . but at the very least, I have the utmost belief and faith that you'll catch on quickly.

[This is far beyond anything he could have managed would come out of this man's mouth. If he's trying to trick him, he's definitely gone to incredibly lengths... But, there's no denying that he's right: Yoon has noticed just how advanced this place is. If anything, he's momentarily stunned speechless by the extent of it all, even if he does have plans to thoroughly explore the place once he's... gotten himself together.

Lips drawing together tightly, to the point where they turn completely white, he shakes his head.
] So, what you're saying is...

[He holds a blink as he exhales, and then he's giving a shortened version:] You wound up traveling with us, and it's been months since then... All right, then you should be able to answer a few things. I'll even start with something incredibly easy: What weapon do I fight with?

[Sure, it's a trick question, but it should be a no-brainer for anyone who travels with them... In any case, his attention is attempting to solely focus on one particular thing that Jae-Ha had mentioned. They're on a different... world, apparently. And there are people who come from even more worlds? If this is true, then this implies there are countless worlds with countless people. To even fathom this is...]

... [Fluctuating times, multiple worlds... It's a lot to take in. Almost too much. Maybe it's not helping that he hasn't eaten since he arrived. There's been a lot of crying today, too, and he's barely even had water. Maybe he should--...

...should...

The world sways just a little, and he just barely manages to stop himself from falling forward. A quiet sound slips out as he puts a hand to his head, frowning.
] ...--guess I should have taken up the offer of food, earlier.

[Well, he's catching on. Even if there's plenty of obvious sarcasm laced within those words. As expected.

Jae-Ha can't not chuckle with the question. Of course he's being tested!]


Your mind, of course. You're incredibly quick to both form strategies and solve problems, and maybe even more so when it comes to learning new things. [He just grins, because it's always been amusing-] And then there's your secret 'weapon' of being the group's self-proclaimed Pretty Boy.

[Ah-!] You do a very fine job of keeping us all well fed, too.

[Speaking of, though, he's alarmed when Yoon is suddenly lightheaded. He's quick to catch him before he falls.]

There's plenty here. You should probably rest a bit as well.

[Kazuki has been out and about all of Marina on his bicycle today, much as he often is. It was something while back home he had always wanted to get, and even now, a couple of weeks after acquiring one here, it still is just as fun. In addition, today he also has a bunch of groceries in the back compartment.

He hadn't realized that it was, yet again, the time for newcomers to begin showing up. He knows that it's truly jarring, but he's yet to see someone so distraught before now.

Parking his bike just nearby, Kazuki makes his way over, careful to not further alarm him.]


Hey. . .

[. . .Only, he isn't entirely sure of what to say.]

Why don't we go sit down somewhere? I know this is a lot to take in.

[He looks up at the sound of that unfamiliar voice, an unmistakably unhappy expression resting on his face at first. He forces himself to reel that in, managing to give one of... something closer to indifference.]

I'm fine.

[...Heh, is that going to be what he defaults to, every time someone approaches him? But... he has been walking a lot. For some reason, this surface is a little more painful to walk on for such a long period of time. Everything... really is completely different from back home. The pain in his feet, however... now that he's noticed it, it has his chest tightening a little more. Pain... isn't something he's ever felt in a dream, before.

So, in some ways, it's serving as a harsh reminder that this is all very real. It's all definitely happening, and there's no escaping the reality of it. For a moment, one of his hands tightens into a fist as he stares down at his feet. He very clearly isn't agreeing to go and sit with this stranger.
] ...A lot to take in...?

[That's the understatement of the century, he wants to yell. What do you know about me, that gives you any room to act like you UNDERSTAND?! But... through clenched teeth, all he manages is:] ...Do you know where I can find some water?

Being new to this place and all. The whole of it.

[It's okay if he doesn't want to trust him— understandable, really. So he's not going to force anything, and instead follow what the other is saying. Despite the anger.]

I do. We're very close by, actually. [Kazuki offers him a small, though kind smile.] Follow me.

I know what you meant... [It's said with exasperation as he rubs at his forehead. He lost track of time -- it's been too long since he ate or drank anything; a slight headache has begun to form. Still, he manages offer a small smile of his own before he nods. After all, this guy seems...nice so far.]

I'm Yoon, by the way. [Glancing away for a moment, with a lingering frown.] I'd say it's nice to meet you, but considering where we are...

My name is Kazuki.

[If he's to be honest, Kazuki doesn't mind being here at all. He's accepted this rather easily. He's never experienced real peace before showing up here. Although there are other reasons as well.]

Likewise. It's fine to think that. We're all in this together either way. It's good that we have one another, even though it isn't the best of circumstances.

... [Heh... that... sounds kind of like something Yona would say. Without realizing it, a faint smile appears -- a somewhat sad one, but that doesn't take away from the fondness of it by any means. While he's admittedly sad from not knowing where or even how she is right now, it doesn't... stop the fact that she's probably one of the most positive influences in his life, aside from Ik-Soo.]

Must be... nice to be able to see your situation that way.

[His expression takes a serious turn as he briefly glances over at Kazuki.] Do you really think everyone here sees it that way, though? This is a prison, right? I'm sure at least some of us deserve to be here. So, can you really say you want real criminals to be fighting on your side? Would you really trust one to watch your back or the back of the person you care most about in this place?

[The comparison probably wouldn't be too far off. If it's one thing that Kazuki can do, it's to find hope even if surrounded by nothing but despair and hardships. It's practically a necessity one must have back home.]

Everyone has their own feelings about being here. I haven't met absolutely everyone, but. . . I can say that in my time here [Brief as it has been so far.] there has really been no internal skirmishes. Rather, the danger that has come over us is brought on by the ones in charge.

Although what really is frustrating is that our 'crimes' are not taken into context, even in the slightest. [He tries to think of a good example.] Such as being truant to school, or killing an animal to eat. . . those are completely harmless. But to the wardens, it doesn't matter.

[His expression softens as he thinks on those words.]

... [Well, he doesn't know enough about this place to really argue the morals of everyone here or the technicalities, period.] Exactly who is it that's in charge?

[Because if they know that much, there's a better chance of getting everyone out of here. Maybe. He can't really put his hopes into anything, until he figures out who from home is here with him.]

The Wardens. Their names are Conscienti and Veridical. They're— [How to describe them as?] I guess you could call them AIs.

[However he then stalls briefly. Sometimes it slips his mind that the people brought here are from different times and worlds. It isn't rare for there to be necessary clarification.]

They're not human, that is. 'AI' stands for 'Artificial Intelligence.'

So the prison enjoys convicting even children of crimes huh?

[ That might have been said under his breath more than anything but Yoon is free to catch wind of it. Ichiru had been traversing the area on his own while mulling over the things that happened in the last week. Every week something happened and every week, he felt further and further away from himself.

Honestly, he should be more sensitive to crying people but he isn't. Ichiru's not the type to be comforting to anyone in any way. He hardly ever cried himself. ]


Ne, are you lost or perhaps you are new here?

[ He muses speaking to finally. ]

................

[Those words have him completely tensing. In one quick movement, he's wiping his eyes and turning to glare at the stranger. While he can't say he'd be completely appreciative of a stranger being sensitive to the fact that he's crying (he doesn't even want someone to know about it), he definitely doesn't need anyone's pity. Or even someone's empathy. Especially not some random fellow prisoner in the place he's been kidnapped to.] I'm not a child.

[His tone is stern -- possibly filled with some of that anger he's trying very hard to keep hidden. He's smarter and way more skilled than even some of the adults he knows, though, thanks!!! With an almost bristly huff, he turns his head to look away from the stranger.] Not that it's any of your business... but I'm new here.

[And lost, but he damn sure isn't telling this guy that!]

[ Ichiru doesn't seem to be fazed by his reaction. He's not really a nice person and he doesn't want to come off that way to begin with. There's no school or people he has to fit in with so he can fulfill a mission. Here, he's a prisoner like everyone else. He's stuck and he has to cope with it somehow. He hasn't settled on how but it's a start. ]

I'm quite certain you're quite young given your appearance.

[ He crosses his arms a little. He can pick up on it since he's perceptive like that but he doesn't say anything to his tone or how Yoon sounds like. ]


If it wasn't you wouldn't be answering me now would you?

[ Ichiru mused with a neutral look on his face. ]

Perhaps you are lost...and searching for something? It seems to be a typical trend here.

[The pink-haired girl hears the cursing and finds her way to the hidden boy.] Are you okay? [Euphie looks concerned, but she doesn't get too close, not wanting to crowd or embarrass him, but she wouldn't want to be alone if she were feeling so down. So, she'll be here for him if he doesn't mind a stranger.]

[The sudden question is enough to startle him a bit, but the tone of it is gentle enough. Still, he won't bother hiding that he's unhappy someone caught him in this state. After hurriedly drying his eyes, he turns towards her, though he isn't exactly making eye contact.]

... I'll be fine. [With a sigh, he scratches at the side of his head, cheeks flushed as he awkwardly continues looking to the side.] How long have you been here?

[Change of topic: yes, please.]

Of course you will. [She smiles softly at him, concern still showing in her eyes if he cares to look. But she'll let him be as brave as he needs to be.]

In this prison or in this spot?

[A short but angry shout filled with emotion makes Yona look up from her path and glance at the orange jumpsuit a short distance away. The familiar colour of his hair makes her stop in her tracks for just a second, but then she carries on, her feet feeling lighter than they had before, hope blossoming in her chest. Hope that she is not wrong, that it really is-]

Yoon!

[Hurrying to his side, she drops her toy arrows and bow, not minding them at all. This - seeing Yoon again, whom she missed so so much - is much more important.]

[That voice is definitely one he'd started to think he might not be hearing anytime soon -- if...ever again. More than that, however, it's a voice he hadn't realized he'd been taking for granted. Now, with his sobs put on hold for the moment, he's quickly turning his head and staring for just a split second--

--then quickly taking off running. It's not until his arms are tightly wrapped around the redhead, even more tears stream down his face.
] Yona!

[It's while clutching onto her, he feels even more relieved. Between Kija and Jae-Ha and... everyone else he's seen today, his head feels like it's almost ready to explode with all the information. Not that he can't handle it -- if anything, it's being spirited away from home and the possibility of never seeing Ik-Soo again that... he doesn't know if...he can handle.]

Kija said you were here, but...

[If people can be brought in out of nowhere, who's to say they can't be dragged off somewhere completely different? He's already forming a ton of possible scenarios in his mind, right now. Clearly, they're up against something that will take... a lot of planning and preparing. This is nothing like what they were taking on, back home.

After releasing her, he's taking a moment to check on her. Has she been eating enough? Does she look healthy? Are there any injuries? To think that she's... likely from the... future(???) back home. Is she and Thunder Beast from the same moment in time, if that's the case? Man, this is enough to give him a headache...
] Are you okay? How long have you been here?
