♐ 005 // [Action | Voice]

[Those who live or pass by house 12, may smell something very very delicious coming from the kitchen. Because despite being the man who hates sweet things, Raven is exceptionally good at making them. And how could you not want a slice? Look at it, it's gorgeous. Considering the snow is lightly falling outside once again, he has no intentions of going out this afternoon, so why not spend it doing something delicious and productive? After all, baking cakes is only one of the many ways to a woman's heart!]

[Later on in the evening he throws up a filter. This is something he needs to address before the day is over.]

[Filtered to Alexei | Unhackable]

Hey boss! No point in playin' hide and seek anymore, I know you're here.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

[... Why does he have a feeling someone entered the house that he doesn't know.

And why does he have a feeling he heard his name mentioned.

... Well, the old man just called out for people and mentioned ~~cake~~ a guest, so Yuri heads out of his room.

... And stops short when he sees a girl he doesn't recognize, wearing armor that he's only seen on the Imperial Knights from back home.

Oh.

Then ... this must be Casey. Erm. Yeah. ... Kind of awkward.]

[just gives a polite nod in greeting]

I apologize for intruding without prior notice. Allow me to introduce myself. I am Casey, captain of the Casey Brigade. [—ten years ago. but she'll leave that bit out.] Raven has told me that all of you are also from Terca Lumieres, correct?

... It's fine. [Slight pause.] And that's right -- everyone in this house is from the same world, actually. [Another slight pause.] ... Anyway, I'm Yuri. Nice meeting you, Casey.

So you are Yuri. Is it true that this—[she steps away a bit and motions to the apron Raven was still wearing]—is yours?

OK! Let me explain! I kinda... ok it's my apron. But it's not like there's any other ones in this house so it's sorta everyone's apron!

[Have the flattest look that ever existed, Raven. ... But he'll shrug right after.]

Actually, I've got my own. Besides, only a shady old man would wear something like that.

[just looking at Raven skeptically before turning back to Yuri]

I'm afraid I will have to agree with Yuri, Raven.

[He sighs, why so mean guys.]

Just 'cause ya share the same hairstyle doesn't mean you can gang up on me. Be nice to yer elders!

I should be nice to my elders when they try to push things that make them look bad onto me? Yeah, I'll get right on that.

[And looking toward Casey now.]

You just arrived recently, right? Did you get a good enough explanation as to what this place is like?

[ignoring Raven.]

That's right—just yesterday in fact. I've heard from many people, including Raven, about Luceti, as well as read the guide. It's still a lot to take in, but I'm sure I'll grow accustomed to it soon enough.

[BAWW No, I refuse to be ignored.]

I told her most of the circumstances, and about us. Though Casey, it turns out there's ten of us from Terca Lumireis in luceti, but only seven live here. Yer not the only one who showed up yesterday.

Yeah, a few others did, too. [Considering he only has a suspicion about one and doesn't know whether Casey would know who Duke is (nor does he want to turn this conversation in Srsfaise McSosrs), he'll just not mention names.] Terca Lumeries seems to be pretty popular lately, for whatever reason.

That is quite the number. Do you know how people are...for lack of a better term, "chosen" to arrive? Or is it truly completely random?

It's random unfortunately, the same with the departures as well... [He pauses, with a quick glance towards Yuri.] Don't let it worry ya too much.

[He notices that glance. ... And shrugs at it. It could mean one of two things, but he's not going to elaborate on either possibility.]

"Random" is pretty much how everything here works. At least, trying to form some kind of logic about it could drive you crazy over time.

[sighs] That seems to be the case for everything about this world.

But I've turned this into a rather serious conversation, didn't I? How did you two meet?

[Not even going to bother sugar coating this.]

We both got arrested and met in jail.

Yeah, that's pretty much it.

In jail!? [it was hard to hide her surprise as she looked between the two of them. then again, somehow she also wasn't surprised that either of them had spent at least a night or two there.]

And what did you do to warrant your arrests?

Ten years from now there's a Captain, a noble, who liked to arrest commoners fer no good reason. Me and the kid here ended up gettin' arrested by him just for being poor.

[Booya.]

[... Well, that wasn't his reason -- trespassing is a crime no matter which way you cut it -- but, well ...]

... Yeah, something like that.

[... Cumore would've probably done that to him anyway.]

A Captain who likes to arrest commoners!? Surely you jest.

What is his name? [to think such things still happened in the future—she knew there was still a divide, but something like this? perhaps Raven was exaggerating, but she knew better to believe that such acts could not happen.]

Urgh... I just imagined him showin' up here.

His name was Cumore, he was a nobleman so he was automatically promoted to Captain. Many Knights defected to the Flynn brigade following his death.

I'm still surprised they did that, given how much their captain liked to complain about Flynn, but ... I guess that just means they didn't share the same views as him.

[... Eh. Half-shrug.]

Guess it doesn't matter much now, though.

[she's still frustrated, but this wasn't the time to talk about it. she closed her eyes and took a breath before continuing]

So why were you traveling together?
