(Luceti) Appointments Post

This post here is for personal conversations which should happen but one or both of us doesn't want to put up a new post/log and thus we will just thread it out here. This can be used to thread with Rin anytime and anywhere. This can either be in person (with action), or via the journal's call feature (voice and/or written).

When replying to this post please mark in the subject line when and how it is taking place EX:
[Action, March 11th]
[Voice, September 8th]
[Written, June 10th]

I never pictured you as someone that picky about fashion.... What's so different about it?

[She's come to assume that, while people she's met in Luceti have got different ideas, at least the people from her world should know, right? Shiemi had no issues.]

I've never seen you wear modern looking stuff like this before.

[...Something deeply confusing is going on here]

...Are you sure you're not confusing me for Shiemi?

[At the least, that's how it was when Shiemi started out, even if that might be different now (?). Regardless, she's starting to look suspicious.]

Yeah, I'm positive.

[...Something weird here. He folds his arms]

...Don't tell me you're affected, too.

[Or, more like it, that he thinks she's affected. But it's easier to talk about it in terms of other people.]

I'm not affected by anything, but you're dressed weird for you. It's nice, but it's not what I've seen you in.

[She sighs.]

If you ask some people around here, they'd agree with you. But if you asked me -- or Shiemi -- we'd tell you that you would have seen something more normal back at the Academy, even if it was a uniform.

[And maybe something else outside of class, but it never seemed important to remember if she had ever met with Rin while in her street clothes.]

So someone's under an experiment, and it's not me.

Shiemi? [...! What in the hell is- Okay if not one agrees with her why is she assuming that she's right? But if Shiemi's backing it up... wait]

...You're from the cram school?

[She puts a hand on either hip. Okay, let's see if his memory can be jogged.]

I sit a couple of rows behind you in class, so I've seen you fall asleep in class more times than I can count. At the esquire exam, I didn't have a gun, so I had to try to use a drawer to -- ah, but you weren't there to see it, were you? Ugh, why did I have to tell him something that uncool.... [A headshake.] But I didn't leave without one after that, even if it was a pain to get one outside of class. At the camp, I -- maybe I wasn't as useless as Shiemi and Izumo, but I still couldn't beat you when it came to cooking. I didn't want to forgive you, but it was too good to stay angry with you over it. Then the test of courage...it was annoying enough having to deal with the bugs with those two, but just because I was lighter.... You probably would have preferred if it was Shiemi you were carrying over, though.

And then.... [She looks down slightly, her hands dropping from her hips.] I really thought you were bad news when I saw you like that. I didn't want Shiemi or I to have anything to do with you, but...after everything that happened, when Ms. Kirigakure told us you'd been given a death setence...I realized that I didn't want to see you die.

[Which isn't something she had admitted before -- not that Rin would know that.]

[And then she raises her head, putting on an irritated expression.]

Because I didn't want to see Shiemi cry about it. And then you all made me wait for nearly two years here all by myself and you hadn't even gotten any further in solving that mess! [She jabs at his chest with a finger.] Doesn't any of that sound familiar?

[No, not a single word of it sounds familiar. He carried her instead of Shiemi? she has a gun? She's been there the whole time? She'd been there to see him during all the moments and didn't want him to die? And she had been alone for two years. She'd been here without either of them and that's what strikes a cord with him. There's a sharp intake of breathe when Fenimore pokes him and his eyes go wide]

["and you hadn't even gotten any further in solving that mess!"

...Ah.

So what the hell has he been doing after all? Getting a job, working around, living life. Waiting for things to happen. Even if she's insane and none of that is familiar, it still hits him with force enough for him to grit his teeth and hang his head, ashamed]

[...]

No... I mean- None of it does. [...and he's so sorry for that. What does he? He puts a hand on her shoulder, pulling her in a bit closer]

...'M sorry you've been alone.

...Who are you, and what have you done with Rin?

[Okay, that is mean and she knows it. She is fully aware that he can be sensitive and try to be comforting. But this is getting uncomfortably close to A Moment and she wants to dispell some of the emotional weight that is occuring right now.]

...Oi, I'm being nice and stuff, I can do that!

[But the hand does retract and he starts a bit]

Sure, sure.

[Despite the wording, she doesn't actually sound sarcastic. She does believe him, but she also feels better that he's retracted the hand. It makes it easier to pretend she doesn't care, even if she doesn't pull back from where he pulled her closer.]

After all, only someone stupidly nice would actually feel that bad when someone criticized him for something he couldn't help. How were you supposed to have changed anything when no time passed back home?

[Well... wel...l... He narrows his eyes and frowns. She's got a point, but it's not like he can't- he should be able to - ...] Well then I can do it now.

In this place?

[He's not talking about the death sentence deal, is he?]

Yeah? I mean, I've gotta make sure you get out of her, that's the point?

[She's actually pretty touched by that, but the tsundere code does not allow her to admit it. So, instead, she looks away and waves her hand dismissively.]

I'll believe that when I see it.

Fine, then I'll show you! For real, I'll prove it to you!

[He snarls then, and goes to shove past her. He needs to go do something productive. Even if at this point he still can't even draw his sword]

[She stumbles a bit when he shoves past, but keeps on her feet fine. Rude, dude!!]

Fine! Go ahead!

[Humph humph! ...And then when he's out of earshot:] ...Good luck, I guess. [After all, if he does succeed, that can only be a good thing, right?]
