GRAND OPENING: MINGLE POST!

[rukhmods]

Welcome to Magnoshutatt!

The game is officially OPEN! Feel free to make your own posts in the community and get the ball rolling. To commemorate the game's opening, we've set up this intro mingle post to help you guys get settled in. NPCs might even pop in from time to time to guide your characters along or make their school life harder. Even so, we hope you have fun and enjoy!

Please don't forget to add the date when the thread is taking place (e.g. "5th day of the 1st term", "term 1, day 5") in the subject line! December 1 is the 1st day of the 1st term, December 2 is the 2nd... you get the idea.

[balzams]

Huh? Oh...

[He looks back down to his arm, even though the bleeding has mostly stopped he's still left with a rather soiled compress. Even his jumper and jeans have a few flecks of blood on them. It didn't feel like much to him but to an outsider it must appear quite startling]

Th-this? It's not as bad as it looks, trust me.

[idolizer]

[ A long glance to the wound, and then she shakes her head. Gradually, her mind is regaining lucidity. ]

It might get infected.

[balzams]

M-maybe...

[Latvia glances away awkwardly again. For him, infection would just be a hassle at best but a hassle he could really do without, especially now]

That's why I'm waiting for someone to take me back to the hospital, or if I'm hallucinating, for it to stop. One of the two.

[idolizer]

Maybe nobody will show up. [ Bluntly, she loosens her grip on the knife. Perhaps there's a place where she can dump this piece of trash. ] We should find one by ourselves.

[balzams]

I don't think they would do that...

[They had been so insistent that they take him to the hospital, he doubted they would not be looking for him. Then again, it was finally starting to dawn on him that wherever he was now was certainly nowhere near Latvia. Everything seemed so distant...]

But... you're right, we should probably find a hospital near here.

[Latvia stood up, a little more resolved than before. Even if people were looking for him he might be able to contact them through the administration]

[idolizer]

Right. We should ask around.

[ Although there's some doubt that people will talk with a girl soaked in blood and with a knife in hand, it's still worth a try. ]

...

My name is Sayaka. [ More and more, she's realizing this situation, and that maybe, just maybe, she's frightening this poor guy. ] I'm sorry for scarying you.

[balzams]

I-it's alright...

[In his defense he's probably seen things just as chilling before but she seemed fairly level-headed considering everything. He would reach out to shake her hand but he didn't really have one free]

And my name is Latvia. It's nice to meet you, Sayaka.

[idolizer]

[ A curt nod at his introduction. "Nice to meet you too" sounds out of place from her perspective, so she goes straight to the point. ]

Let's go, then. We sure can't stay here.

[balzams]

Oh! Of course...

[He let her lead the way, not having the foggiest idea where to try first. Latvia was starting to realise that he hadn't felt the sting of the gash since he'd arrived and checked under the compress to find that, yes it was still quite a mess but the open wound had completely disappeared]

[idolizer]

[ There's some wandering to do, since neither Sayaka knows where the hell they're going. Just as long as they find other living being that are not lost like them, it would be fine. She keeps silent the whole time, not starting a conversation or being friendly like her usual. Dying hardly makes anyone a happy camper... ]

[balzams]

[Latvia followed behind just as silently. it felt somewhat awkward to keep so quiet but he didn't know if talking would be the best course of action. The stains on her shirt were extremely worrying]

S-so how did you get those bloodstains?

[And before he could think to restrain himself the question was already out]

[idolizer]

[ ... Right. It's just normal that someone would ask her that. Sayaka keeps looking forward as she answers. ]

Someone stabbed me. [ Holding up that knife. ] With this.

[balzams]

I-is that really okay?

[Such an awkward way to phrase it but it's the first thing that falls out. She really don't seemed phase by it and he doesn't understand. If she'd been stabbed then she needed to get to a hospital as soon as possible]

[idolizer]

[ She's going to realize the horror of it when she snaps off her dull state, but for now, her eyes will gloss over to the knife, and then there's a shrug of her shoulders. ]

It doesn't hurt. There's no wound here.

[balzams]

There isn't...?

[He checked his own wound again, finally taking the compress completely off. Before he thought maybe his eyes had been tricking him or the shock of it all had made him hallucinate. That was still possibly an option but the sting nor the open wound were there, just as before]

What kind of a place do you think this is? Some kind of purgatory? I mean I really shouldn't be dead yet...

[idolizer]

Perhaps. [ Tightening her grip on the knife. ] There's no rational explanation as to why I'm still alive, or why I'm not wounded and yet I see my blood here.

[balzams]

There isn't...

But you might not even be real, if I'm hallucinating from blood loss then you're just a figment of my subconscious.

[idolizer]

Really? I'm rather sure some people saw me, too.

[ A void smirk to his direction. ] If I was only a hallucination, I wouldn't feel the aftermath of my death.

[balzams]

That doesn't make much sense... If you're just a hallucination then surely I'm just hallucinating that feeling for you...

[He pauses and then shakes his head, that wasn't the kind of argument they needed to be getting into right now]

Ah, I'm sorry. Let's just find somewhere we can ask directions.

[idolizer]

[ She's not in the mood for arguments either, so she shrugs in disregard of what he said and walks ahead.

They eventually find one of the buildings (the dormitories). She hesitates a little, before walking in. ]
