Arrival



Part 1


You arrive in an unknown space, dressed in white clothes (player choice what kind of clothes, as long as they cover everything). Whatever was happening to you before no longer happens. It's like everything was put on a pause and you were transferred away from the situation without you realizing it happened.

The space that you find yourself in is one of these four options:

An empty landscape filled with snow and ice, almost like a blank canvas.
A field with cherry blossom trees and spring flowers.
A sunny beach near an ocean that seems never ending.
A quiet forest with falling autumn leaves.

All of the spaces seem to continue endlessly. No matter where or how far you walk it almost seems like you're not moving at all. There are no animals here - just those who happened to wake up there at the same time, in the same place. Everyone is wearing the same kind of plain, white clothes.

Despite the possible rollercoaster of emotions you might be feeling, the place somehow feels familiar. Like somehow you belong there.

And it looks like you're not alone.


Part 2


After half an hour has passed the surroundings change as everyone is teleported into a room with all the other new arrivals, no matter what space they woke up in. It's a large place with plenty of seats to sit in and beverages to enjoy. Medical attention is offered to those who need it and the doctors here are very prepared for any challenging situations.

Here, in this room, everyone gets an answer to where they are and why. A hologram of a man appears at the center of the room, waiting to be heard. He brings a message on behalf of the leaders of Ellipsa.


The Message [ Click to Expand ]

Hello, my name is Olwen. I'm one of the leaders of Ellipsa as it currently is. I'm also one of the four who summoned you here.

Our world is in trouble and we need your help. I apologize for tearing you away from your world and forcing you to come here but I hope you understand. The magic we used doesn't let us ask in advance, nor does it let us choose who we bring here.

This world is composed of four Seasonal Segments. All of them represent one of the seasons. They were the places we used to get our resources from, but now they're dangerous places no one should go into unless they have the power to fight back. All of them have their own sets of powerful monsters and natural catastrophes.

We used to have plenty of people here who could control the powers of the four Seasons. We called them Seasonal Power Holders. Unfortunately, due to a tragedy you can read about later, we lost almost all of them. Now only four of us remain and the world is in chaos. We have done our best to protect the world, but we need more power holders to do that.

That's where you come in.

All of you have been assigned to one of the seasons. Whatever space you were in just now is what season you represent. You will learn different skills based on the season and those skills are going to help you save this world.

These powers don't interfere with your own natural powers. They use a new energy that has formed inside of you. It's harmless to your health, but it's vital to your seasonal powers. Your own powers should still work, even if the dark energy outside the city might interfere with them.

Unfortunately bringing you here wasn't as simple as it sounds. We couldn't do anything about how to keep you anchored to this world other than making a simple spell that helps with it. That is, you need to touch someone else who is not from this world ideally at least once a day. It will help you stay in control of your powers and boost your magical energy. If you don't, the consequences aren't very good. But as long as you hold someone's hand or give someone a handshake, you should be fine.

That's all I have to say about the situation. The staff of the Research Center will give you more information about housing and other necessary things. I will, however, promise that you will be sent home once the situation becomes better. That's the least we can do.


The hologram can be viewed in private in a separate room later, should someone wish to look at it again. For now, the staff of the Research Center hands everyone their new smartphones with their small flower lucky charms (the flower is anything the player decides). They're also told that the building next door is where everyone can find a room assigned to them with some of their belongings there and possibly even any animal companions. Those concerned about their mount-sizes companions are welcomed to the stables downstairs to see if their friends are there. The mounts are allowed to stay there until you find a place more suitable for them.

In the Arrival's hall there are also several stands with information pamphlets.

First type of stand is for the local Guilds and about the benefits or joining one.

Second type of stands is for the Welcoming Committee that aim to show otherworlders what the world is like and help guide people in the beginning of the journey and helps in getting settled into the new world. They even have people to help if you're unfamiliar with the new phones.

Third type of the stands is for The In Touch Support Group that is led by the Otherwordly Ambassador, Kamisato Ayato. The pamphlets have contact information for businesses looking to help Otherworlders. They also focus more on the lore of the World and what they have discovered so far, as well as a guide on what to think about when preparing to venture out to the Segments.

Once you get your smartphone and necessary information, you're urged to go out and find your apartment. After that whatever you want to do is up to you.

Part 3


The building next door is where everyone can find their new apartments. As you enter, you're told by a friendly native that for the first two months you can live anywhere rent-free and five meals a day are paid for you. After that they get a monthly payment that helps with some of their living expenses, but otherwise they have to have a job to support themselves.

All of the apartments are comfortable, two bedroom apartments with all necessary utilities. They are also completely soundproof. Sometimes the magic system, however, does glitch and you might find yourself rooming with a stranger. This is not the intention and the staff will immediately prepare you your own room if you ask them. But maybe having a roommate isn't all that bad?





Party in the Underground




Part 1


The center of Nightwake never sleeps and there's always something happening, but today there's a lot of excitement in the air all around the center and every district! Locals and those who want to help them (for 100 Moon Coins or a gift card of their choosing), are walking to everyone to offer colorful fliers along with free vending machine tokens. There's also colorful advertisement on billboards and posters everywhere around the city advertising all sorts of things like items, clothes, drinks and more.

Local businesses, stores and restaurants are also going pretty crazy with their celebrations of anyone walking in being their 50th, 100th or whatever customer of the day and the prize among other things are gift cards and more free vending machine tokens but they aren't even for that same shop or restaurant? They also offer people to spin all kinds of different prize wheels, spin roulettes, buying a certain amount of things from them, and taking part in eating and drinking competitions for a surprise prize. Someone even put these surprise prizes into the Gacha Restaurant's randomizer, so for a week, you can choose it as a total surprise there too. (The surprises can be even more vending machine tokens and silly things like cute keychains or a 5-in-1 avocado tool as some examples.)

You can't find any of these shops, restaurants and other places, that they are advertising, in the whole city. The locals, posters and billboards will tell you where you can find them. There's a new entrance in every district, where locals welcome everyone to the grand opening of the Underground Mall!

Some may even drop into a sudden hole in the ground on their way and fall (or slide) somewhere far away. Don't worry, there will be very soft and huge pillows for landing in your destination.


Part 2


The Underground Mall's upper floors give the vibe of a joyous mall with several restaurants and shops you won't see on the surface. The mall is definitely a must visit place for those who appreciate different fashion and exciting food choices. The party from the surface continues down here with various sales around the area. A good day for shopping!

For those who like games, there's a futuristic VR Arcade for you! This Arcade focuses on games that are played with VR goggles on. Even your regular DDR machine will now take you to dance in different environments and feel like you're dancing for your life or for an actual audience.

There are all sorts of vending machines lined up in their own, huge corner. You can find the usual ones with all sorts of different snacks, food and drinks, but there are also some with cake, cookies, mayonnaise, cream, flowers, engagement rings and other less usual but normal things. Nothing here is randomized, unless you choose the random option from the machine, otherwise you get exactly what you want. So pick your favorites or try something new, that sounds more or less good! You can find a machine that turns moon coins on your phone into vending machine tokens (or you can pay straight with your phone).

And, yes, you can find vending machines full of snacks and drinks all around the area too.

Then there's also an area for ufo catchers with all kinds of prizes like pokemon plushies and lots of other plushies, items themed to different season, plushies and other items themed to any fauna and flora from all around Ellipsa, puzzles, food themed items etc etc.

Moving inside the mall is done by escalators and elevators, but there are also regular stairs for those who prefer them.

The fastest way of traveling from floor to floor in the mall is by quick teleport nodes. You choose a floor you want to go to from the list of choices, much like an elevator and then you're transported into that floor's node within seconds. Unfortunately, they're still working out on the bugs in the system, so you may end up in the wrong place - including places that aren't on the list of choices.

Part 3


There's also a Poké Ball Vending Machine, so anyone who recognizes poké balls may have some idea what they could get here. The vending machine somehow has enough balls for everyone in Ellipsa but everyone can only buy one ball! The balls don't have names in them and no one can see through them, so even those, who know Pokémon will NOT know what they'll be getting from this vending machine as it is entirely randomized!

Are you ready to get your first Pokémon? What about being ready to see how you two get along? Everyone, who plays this vending machine, gets either a Bulbasaur, Charmander, Squirtle, Pikachu, Eevee, Chikorita, Cyndaquil, Totodile, Treecko, Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, Chimchar, Piplup, Snivy, Tepig, Oshawott, Chespin, Fennekin, Froakie, Rowlet, Litten, Poplio, Grookey, Scorbunny, Sobble, Spirigatito, Fuecoco or Quaxly.

(And yes, ICly it is entirely randomized but OOCly you can decide which one you want your character to get... Of course you can rng the result too. More about Pokémon guidelines in the OOC Tips of this TDM.)






Welcome to Our Dark Side




The third part of the TDM is under this details cut as it has Content Warnings, including Cursed things, Organized Crime, Illegal Activities, Monster Forms/Body Horror, Attempted Murder, Experimenting on People

The Third Part of the TDM [ Click to Expand ]
Part 1

The lowest levels of the mall are only accessible by random quick teleport nodes around the mall (if you know you know is the motto with these). You can run into them on accident (they're usually hidden, but with so much traffic, the hiding place becomes visible) and they sometimes immediately just teleport people without any warning. The arrival can be in various places. A random shady hallway, in the middle of the floor, in a shady establishment and so on.

Anything that seems shady can be found from these floors. Even the local diners here are very weird and likely have illegal things on the menu. Clothing stores sell all kinds of clothes fit for thieves and assassins and the amount of weapons shops here is twice the amount than on the surface. Rumor has it there are also people trying to summon the devil somewhere around here, but that's still just a rumor.

One of the teleport node locations can take you to the front of a cursed vending machine corner. At first they look like ordinary vending machines, but upon closer inspection one may notice they are anything but ordinary.

The food vending machines are full of different "eatable" bugs with half-hearted warnings that they may or may not be poisonous (they didn't really check before putting them in the packaging), Mystery Food boxes (includes some very suspicious foods that don't look edible, but are actually alright in taste? But may contain some side effects like growing mushrooms out of your hair if you eat the mushroom ones), ones that is labeled Energy Drinks but all of them look more like creepy potions (they provide energy but at the cost of poisoning someone for 24 hours) and hyper realistic cakes that look like various body parts (the cake part is intentionally written in small print).

Other vending machines have various shark eggs (hatching them will provide a magical shark with little hands and legs that invades the first watery surface it finds and bites whoever comes too close - it does not belong as a pet, but one may try to tame one), Mystery Boxes (with anything from highly cursed jewelry to books that suck your soul if written into) and Cheat Slips (it's said these slips will let you master a skill immediately, but all it does is cause one's powers to go berserk for 2 hours).




Part 2


The lowest levels are also a place for a large Casino. While they do exist on the surface, this one is a little different.

The Casino (named just that, "The Casino") is divided into four different sections; All of them are dominated by an organized crime group. This is the only area of the underground they work together in peace and sometimes come to relax. They don't cause trouble for each other here, but they definitely can try to cause trouble for everyone who is visiting the place.

Losing in this Casino can mean being taken to the back rooms by whichever group's area you ended up losing in. They will offer to let you go if you can pay off your debt you made in the Casino, but they have other options of compensation.

Name: Diamonds
Game Area: Card Games (Poker, Black Jack, Craps)
Compensation: They will send characters on a criminal quest to either steal or sabotage something or even smuggle a (cursed) item into important places.

Name: Spades
Game Area: Roulette
Compensation: They will attempt to kill the character that lost in the quietness of the backrooms.

Name: Clubs
Game Area: Pool, Darts
Compensation: They will just make characters clean their casino area.

Name: Hearts
Game Area: Slot Games
Compensation: They will drag characters into experiments in a different facility.

You may also end up taken to the back rooms for getting caught cheating, although it may also end up in a congratulatory meeting for an impressive sleight of hand instead or an invitation to join one of the groups. How would you feel about a life of crime?




Part 3


Those caught in Hearts Group's Experiments will be subjected to series of tests. Mostly they're to check the characters' physical condition before proceeding. Once the tests are concluded, the character will be given a medicine (either via shot or a pill). This medicine will not show any signs of working for a while and characters are let go afterwards.

The same medicine can, however, later be consumed by anyone else in various foods and drinks (free samples, some restaurants, even some grocery store items), even in the higher levels of the Mall. The experiments were the final test before distributing the medicine secretly to the public. So your character may accidentally end up getting the medicine in other ways.

What are the medicine? Monster Form activators. They will awaken a monster form inside a character that will trigger under one of the (player) selected conditions: strong emotional reaction, full moon, near death situation or bleeding.

The form can be returned from by calming down and focusing on their sense of self, but there's a chance to go berserk, making this difficult. If characters go berserk, their powers will be a lot stronger, but they won't know who's a friend and who's a foe. Their form may also be a lot scarier than it normally is. They will likely only want to cause destruction around them or want to feed on humans.

OOC TIPS


- Ask your questions related to the TDM here.

- The TDM is available only to friends of the mods and their friends. If you want to play in the TDM, please leave a note here to inform us who invited you over. We will get to you as soon as possible.

- Test Drive is open for current characters to make a top level as well. New characters can add TDM (or "New" or anything else) on their subject line to indicate they're new!

- Current characters cannot access the starting area again to meet new arrivals. They can, however, be at the Research Center when the newbies are teleported in.

- The TDM is game canon so anything in the TDM can happen for your character(s) in the game as well.

- Remember to add Content Warnings wherever needed!

- Smut is not allowed on the TDM. You can play situations leading to it, but if the thread is turning into smut, please move it to a private space such a post in your character's journal, or a locked post in the game's log community if you decide to app!

- Pokémon Guidelines:
• Anything mindblowing crazy that the pokedex has to offer for any of the evolutions doesn't carry over to Seasons. They're closer to anime variants where people can get flamethrower at their face and live (we still do not recommend getting a flamethrower at face)
• Pokémon gain experience points much slower, even if they battle one another.
• You may be able to find a vending machine with weird stones mixed in for stone evolutions. Strange.
• All start at level 5.
• More Pokémon may appear later in the game but for now it's just the ones mentioned.
More on all the available Pokémon here!

- Check Locations: City to find more areas to explore inside the city. Every place in the districts are open. The Underground Mall has been added to the locations page at the very end of it.

- Similarly, Locations: Segments is useful for outdoors adventures. You can find monsters to encounter on Beastiary.

- Minor NPCs page has been updated with the criminal organizations.

- FAQ has information on characters' smartphones as well as general things about the world that might be handy.

- Feel free to check and use out Questboard for additional prompts.

Right?! Monkey King is the best! He's so cute and cheeky!

[MK smiles wide and listens. Not best friends? Then how were they close...?

There is a record scratch in his head. Seeing each other? Seeing. Each. Other.

MK is connecting to his brain...

...

...

...

OH!]


You're dating? Like boyfriend, girlfriend, in love?
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Well that's just uncalled for.)

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-08-07 03:23 am (UTC)(link)
[That why you need to learn, Red Son! Wukong may be arrogant, but he only insults teasingly...unless he hates you.]

All the time! Especially when teaching. And no, because I could have something entertaining when I needed a break.
forgingfires: (I can't believe I'm in charge of the her)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-07 03:24 am (UTC)(link)
Listen.

Mei being essentially an ally to the Monkie Kid is still removed from being The Monkie Kid Who Stopped His Father From Conquering The World. That combined with the Samadhi Fire connection, it's doing a lot for Red Son's justification for why he can keep interacting with her on a more friendly basis. It at least sounds reasonable to say he's going to see Mei, he hasn't had the nerve to say he's also going to see MK as well to his parents.

Its hard when one's first friends are people who were enemies.

"I'm not, I'm doing a repair job," Red Son said. Then paused. "A pill. You took a pill. From people in this establishment?"
noodleboi: (Art Human - Such a good boi)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:26 am (UTC)(link)
So he doesn't remember things from home and he forgets to eat and sleep? You sure he doesn't have some weird demon amnesia?

[The squeeze does help him relax and he nods.]

I hope so. I mean, yeah! He'll say yes. It'll be the three of us just having good times! Saving the world. He'll be able to even join in this time again!
sangreine: happy (quiet time)

[personal profile] sangreine 2023-08-07 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
He is both of those things, and sounds like a badass to boot. And his cloud is pretty cool.

[ Saya waits patiently for the dots to connect and successfully does not laugh. ]

Let's not go quite to "in love". [ Mainly because she thinks Red Son's head will explode if it's put to him like that, that poor ceiling takes enough abuse as it is. ]

I don't really put human words to most of my relationships, in my species it's all a bit different, but sure, something like dating. That's how I know about you, he's told me a fair bit.
noodleboi: (I did a bad)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:29 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah! It all made sense. Total sense in a totally normal way. Nothing strange, weird, bizarre, or confusing about it.

Totally normal for them.

"Oh. That makes more sense." Red Son didn't seem to like a whole lot of games. Racing games though...oh right. Red Son asked a question.

"Well not in the casino but from the people who own it? Kinda? I was playing the slot machines and didn't realize I owed money. BUT they said I could help with some experiment on medicine to help people and it'd be off the hook. So they, like, examined me and I took a pill. Yeah. Now my tummy isn't super happy but it's alright. I've felt worse. Just need a cup of tea and I'll be fine."

No. No he wouldn't be.
forgingfires: (Relax)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-07 03:30 am (UTC)(link)
Teaching is different from creating something. You have to be aware of what your student needs and make sure they don't severely hurt themselves and plan the next steps.

How long did it take you to make?
forgingfires: (He's gonna die)

1/2

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
He likes games fine, as long as they're not all Monkey King Themed. Sometimes the problem isn't the product so much as whose the sponsor of said product.

Even if the mech game was maybe kind of cool.

Red Son just.

Stares at that for a several long beats.

Was this why MK was like this with him? Was this why he looked at the person who tried to set him on fire many times and went 'that is friend material?' Did MK just straight up not have any sense of stranger danger?

"You-"
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Noooo...well maybe.)

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-08-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
Exactly! And I do. Mostly. [He's getting better at it the more time he spends with MK. After the whole Lady Bone Demon thing, he's had to rethink a lot.]

About a year altogether.
noodleboi: (Nope)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:34 am (UTC)(link)
[MK feels something stir inside him. Something he isn't sure what it is. He'll just ignore it. He blinks and looks at Saya again, trying to tell what she is from looking. She looks normal.]

Are you a demon of some kind? [An innocent enough question in his mind.] Or like a celestial being? Are you a goddess? He talks about me?

[That genuinely surprises MK. He didn't think Red Son would talk about him to the person he's dating. Unless maybe he just came up from stories about home and everything. That is probably it. Yeah.]
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Here comes Monkey King!)

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-08-07 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
Nah. He's just a workaholic. So much that he considers having friends personal projects instead of, y'know, having friends.

Exactly!
forgingfires: (Literal hot head)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-07 03:36 am (UTC)(link)
"MORONIC BUFFOON! Do you have no sense of self preservation?! Even the barest hint of skepticism of strangers?! Have you not read the Journey to the West, how many conflicts begin 'here is a demon in disguise, ready to eat the monk!' I would think that would impart some lessons!" He shouted, fire flaring up around him.

Then he reaches out, grabbing MK's hand, even as the fire dies down around that hand and starts tugging him away from the people on the street. "Come along, I'm going to see what sort of stupidity you've put into your body!"
noodleboi: (Art Human - Such a good boi)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:41 am (UTC)(link)
MK just blinked as Red Son went off on him. He was used to this, at this point. Red Son was a lot of things. A genius. A friend! A reluctant hero. A good racer. Red Son also had a huge temper. He let the questions just wash over him and let Red Son grab his hand and drag him down the street.

"I meeeeaaaan...I read some of the chapters! Like the ones with Monkey King but not all of them? Macaque said I needed to read the book. Like all of it. I probably should, yeah. Okay, friend!" MK smiled a little. Nice to see Red Son cared enough to check him out. Or maybe was taking him to a doctor.

Oh right.

"I met your girlfriend by the way. She's really nice."
sangreine: happy (mm)

[personal profile] sangreine 2023-08-07 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
[ "A goddess" oh boy you just earned all the points, even if it was an innocent question. ]

I'm a type of vampire. Though if you're familiar with vampire stories, that they're allergic to garlic and don't have a reflection and all that, I'm pretty different than that. For example, I was born as I am, not turned from a human. And I only use willing blood donors, don't worry. [ Red Son keeps her quite well fed -- ahem. ]

He talks about home sometimes, sure. I know more about his parents than anyone else. We've talked about a lot of things. That's how people get to know each other, right?
noodleboi: (All set!)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:42 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that sounds like Red Son. Well I can help. I know he likes his food super spicy. So as long as we bring him spicy food, he'll be happy.
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Well that's just uncalled for.)

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-08-07 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
Eh, he won't eat in the lab though, so we'll have to pry him away from the workbench. Nothing we can't handle.
forgingfires: (Erk)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-07 03:48 am (UTC)(link)
"Read more! Its usually the Monkey King who noticed they were being lied to by a demon! He's annoyingly perceptive!" Red Son ranted. Since he may or may not have also been one of those tricky demons, how much of the lore did you change, canon.

"And you don't need to say we're friend every few sentences!" It makes him feel weird. He doesn't necessarily want to deny it, but its still hard to accept it and the constant reminder is-

Weird.

"Girlfriend? What-oh, Saya. We haven't put anything like an official label on it," he said, face going red, and his grip on MK gets warm. Not burning, but definitely running hotter than he usually does. "Its...a complicated situation." Friendship is new. Romantic entanglements is new. Its all new and he has no idea how he's feeling for any of it.

Especially when he has a lot of similar feelings for Saya as he does Mei and that is a box he just Does Not Want To Open.

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:50 am (UTC)(link)
That's so cool!

[A real life vampire! Oh MK is excited. He's never met a vampire before. And Red Son is dating her. You go, Red Son. He'll have to tell his friend way to go.]

That makes sense, yeah. His parents are super important to him. They're all about family.

[Family. It is important. His thoughts almost wonder but he stays focused on Saya.]

Well, I hope we can be friends. Your boyfriend slash girlfriend slash friendfriend is my friend so we should be friends, right?

He's very cute indeed. Will you be naming him?

[Kantera summoned by the call of embarrassing Red Son by gushing about him.]
noodleboi: (You seein' this shit Monkey King?)

[personal profile] noodleboi 2023-08-07 03:51 am (UTC)(link)
Oh easy buuuut I can tempt him out with food. If not, we'll carry him out and put my staff on him in the chair so he can't get up until he eats. Easy peasy.
forgingfires: (Yeah pretend you don't care)

[personal profile] forgingfires 2023-08-07 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Less multitasking does promote more planning. [Well, at least he's more sassing then snippy that time.]

...okay, that is a little bit impressive.
retirementsnotsopeachy: (Here comes Monkey King!)

[personal profile] retirementsnotsopeachy 2023-08-07 03:53 am (UTC)(link)
Or we could use MY staff so you have yours free.

"That's because Monkey King is awesome like that." MK said with a nod. The world may never know.

"Yeah, her. Complicated? I mean, you do like complex transformations. So you like complicated, right?" MK asked. It did surprise him when Saya said they were dating. Though the labels thing seemed to be weird for them both. Which surprised MK too. DBK and Princess Iron Fan were like so married and not complicated. Didn't Red Son want that? MK internally shrugged. He didn't think about this stuff much, so he didn't understand it.

Or the weird feelings in his stomach adding to the nausea feeling.

"I'm just glad you seem happy. That's all."

[ MK is like an enthusiastic puppy dog, it's impossible not to be charmed. ]

I know. Before your mentor arrived, Red Son thought they were still stuck in that scroll. I offered to go back with him and help free them. [ She's that good in a fight, yep. ]

I'd be happy to be your friend. And I'm relying on you to make sure Red Son does more than work, hm? [ There's some heaviness to the way she says that, but it's subtle and MK doesn't seem the type to especially notice miniscule things like that. ]

Between us and Wukong he won't stand a chance of being a full-time hermit. I know you being here will be good for him. He's missed you, even if he'd probably never admit it.

[Oryou has excellent reflexes, so when a human drops on her suddenly, she manages to catch her in her arms rather than drop her onto the floor.]

Hello.

[She floats gently toward the ground, having been hovering a few inches in the air, and sets Lucy on her feet.]
