[Video] 001 ☽

[At first, when your SFC clicks on, all that can be seen is blue--the blue of the ocean above the barrier. The video seems to be...rocking back and forth, slowly, and the gentle slap slap slap of what might be...small waves...? against something can be heard.

A long pause.

Then the video shifts and changes before settling on a young man who seems to be...lying down, holding the SFC up, peering at it.

A red light...?]

...It's recording...?

[A puzzled (and slightly soggy) blink, and he begins to sit up.]

Why am I on a boat--

[Too late. His sitting up tilts the small boat off balance.

Tilting--

Splash!

...oops.

ooc: feel free to respond with either video or action, guys!]

No problem.

[She shrugs slightly.]

That's what most of the people think...it hasn't been proven yet, though.

Hm.

[Well, there isn't much that needs to be said to that, so onwards to more natural things.]

I really am grateful for the assistance. My name is Minato Arisato. It's a pleasure to meet you.

[A sweet smile.]

I'm Namine. Nice to meet you, Minato. Where are you from?

[What a cute little girl.]

I am from a place called Japan. Can I take it you are from elsewhere?

[A nod. She wanted to say that she was from Castle Oblivion, but the place held so many bad memories that she went with the next placeshe could think of.]

I'm from a place called Twilight Town. But it's interesting- what is Japan like?

[So...the different worlds thing is true. 'Twilight Town'. ~~It sounds like something from a video game--~~]

I actually am from a city in Japan known as Iwatodai. It can be busy, but it is a good place to live.

[It's home.]

What about yourself, Namine-chan? What is Twilight Town like?

[~~Why do you say that? :3c~~]

That sounds like a nice place to live.

[A thoughtful look.] Well, the sun is always setting in Twilight Town- there's never any night or daytime. But the people there are nice, and there's a lovely forest outside of town.

Oh, and they have a big clock tower that keeps the time. It's really quite pretty.

[~~Just an observation. |D~~ He nods along with her description, clearly curious.]

I've never heard of a place like that. How does the sun...'always set'?

I don't really know. But no matter what time of day it is, there's always a sunset.

That's why it's called Twilight Town.

And why they need to have a clock tower that everyone can see as well?

[After all, it'd be pretty hard to keep track of time without a daytime or nighttime, he imagines.]

Yes, the clock tower is there because of the constant sunset...I think it also tells when the trains come to town. I remember there was a train station there.

[So there are other places--

And a slight smile.]

Trains are familiar to me as well. They were common back home.

Have you lived in Twilight Town all of your life, Namine-chan?

Really? Guess many places have the same things...

[She smiles, though there's something...sad about it.]

No, I haven't. I only went there a year ago.

[Noticing that! And...this means to gently veer away from that topic.]

Are you enjoying yourself there now? Or...rather, were you, before Vatheon?

[Aw, so nice, Minato.]

Well, I liked the place. But I was doing a very important job there...a job that was helping a friend of mine.

[Ahhh. He understands the feeling, and nods.]

It sounds very important. When you go back, I am sure you'll be able to continue that job for your friend.

[She laughs sweetly.] Ah, he's actually already here! His name is Sora. Apparently what I was doing helped in the end.

Well, that is good to know. I'm sure your help was extremely helpful.

Yeah, I think it was. I was very glad he seemed alright.

Then, knowing that, have you been able to enjoy your time here? It seems almost like a vacation, then.

Well...somewhat.

[A slight frown.]

Not all of the people who come here are good.

[....hmm.]

...Yes, I suppose that would have been too much to hope for.

Though if you have friends here, at least you can all protect and help each other, right?

Yeah, that's what I'm hoping. It'd be horrible to see people hurt...

If we all work together to stop the people who want to harm others, I am sure we'll be successful.

[He knows this to be true. ~~Friendships give him supernatural powers.~~]

[She grins.] Right. You know, you sound a lot like Sora. He says stuff like that too.

[~~And she comes from a game in which the power of the heart makes you able to wield the best weapon in the world.~~]
