crystal_stasis | [ I ] Focus ✘ [Action]

[Serah knew instantly when she glanced around that she was no longer in the Bodhum Vestige anymore. It was impossible for her to be there when she’d fallen into a tree suddenly. If hitting branch after branch wasn't a good enough wake up call, what else was? She finally stopped when she fell to the ground. Everything ached as she lied in the snow. As she started to push herself off the ground, something fell and hit her.]

Ow! What the heck was that…?

[Checking to see what it was, she noticed some sort of device lying in the snow, going to grab it. She wiped off the snow off of the device. She pushed herself up out of the snow as she sat down in the snow. Glancing around, this place really was different. She’d never seen any place like this, but then she’d never really traveled much. Sitting there in the cold, she ached all over. Obviously from the fall, but more than that her back hurt the worst.

One obvious thing was that…. It was cold and snowy. That was made clear while she sat there shivering. She wasn't wearing her normal outfit, but this plain white dress was hardly a good idea in this sort of weather. Back in Bodhum, it was still warm out. She would simply have to figure out why her outfit changed later. She stood up, patting the slow off of her as she searched for somewhere warm. She also noted to herself that people here… they all had wings.

As she was walking, she felt a little sick from time to time. It must be because of this weather. As far as she knew, she was still supposed to be a crystal. Did she get free from crystal stasis faster than most people? Looking to her arm, she noticed her L’cie brand was still there. She stopped at the sight of her brand, shivering a little.]

It looks like I’m going to have to worry about this later

[Finally setting sights on a restaurant, she hurried inside, immediately feeling the warmth. Now that she inside a warm building, she hurried to the bathroom to look at her L’cie mark. It seemed to be… scorched over, but what did that mean? Did that mean that she still had a Focus? Was she going to end up a Cie’th after all? Upon looking in the mirror, she froze. Not only did she see her L’cie mark, she also found…. Wings? Why did she have wings on her back? She hadn't really thought about what her body ached when she fell because she figured just falling down itself was enough to answer that.

Pulling at her wing, she had to check to see if it was real or just some weird fashion statement. When she accidentally pulled a feather, she felt a sharp pain; the kind of pain that caused a gut pain. What…? What did…. that mean? Were these wings…. real? There were so many things to worry about right now. These wings, her L’cie mark, and… was that a bar code on the back of her neck? Was that just there to be there? Was there for a purpose that she didn't know yet?

All she knew was that she was definitely scared of what happened at home and what was going on here. Now she just needed to see if anybody was around. She had so many questions that she needed to be answered. Heading outside of the bathroom, she searched to see if somebody else was around.]

Hello? Is there anybody here?

[OOC/EDIT: Woops! I forgot about the New Feather dress >_>]

[mikoto is just taking a walk when she overhears serah and sees her wandering around seeming like she is looking for someone or something] You look a bit lost, do you need any help at all?

[Hearing a woman, she turned to see who had spoken to her. Once she looked, she noticed that she, too, had wings.]

Oh um.... Yeah. Do you know where we are?

[One question at a time.]

We're in Luceti. You're new here then?

Luceti... [She's never heard of a place called Luceti... A history buff would know about that... right?] I guess I am.

Don't worry if it doesn't sound familiar— this is place is another world we've all been brought to just like you have.

Oh... I see....

[That makes sense. If she was back home, she probably would have known about this place. But now she can't help but to think this place had to be like Cocoon or Gran Pulse. So being told that she was in another world wasn't all too surprising. Although, she'd never personally been to Gran Pulse, thank god.]

What about these wings?

The wings? Ah— they're a part of us in this place. They're something we need to be here.

So it comes with the territory huh? [a sigh.] I suppose there's no way off, huh...

Not that anyone knows at least.

That doesn't surprise me. I doubt a place that takes people here would allow them to leave on free will alone.

[She may be new, but she was smart. With everything that's happened so far, it doesn't really surprise her. But onto another question.]

Would you happen to have seen a girl that looks a little like me? She has pink hair, but it's not as long as this. She's most likely still fighting to get out of her.

Well it's good that you're taking it well at least.

[she smiles, before looking in thought for a moment at the question] A sibling of yours? I don't think I've seen anyone matching that description but she could still be here if you ask around.

A little too well probably.

[Chuckling slightly, she nodded to that.]

Yeah. My sister to be exact. Her name is Lightning. [She can't help but slightly sigh.] I'm sure I'll find her soon if she's here.

Definitely not a bad thing though.

Ah— well I hope you do. If I happen to run into her, I can also pass along the message that you're looking though.

Thanks, I'd appreciate that.

[And she's shivering. Could help to have warmer clothing... Oh!]

Oh, is there a way to get different clothing here?

[Reaching for her engagement necklaces to check if it was there. She knew she was wearing a plain dress right now. But... Wait!]

Oh! Oh no! Where is it?!

It's no problem. [a smile]

As for clothing, there are a few shops around here I could show you if you like and— ah, is something wrong?

My... my pendent... it's gone. I would like my clothing back, but that pendent is important.

I'm afraid we're brought here without items like that.

W-Without...

N-No! That... can't be! That pendent.... That was my engagement pendent....

Your engagement pendent?

Yes.... My boyfriend proposed to me... a little before all the stuff happened back home. That pendent was proof of our promise....

I'm sorry. I wish there was something else I could say but it seems they're not so kind as to bring us here with our belongings.

Edited 2014-02-14 06:12 (UTC)

So it seems...

[She's silent for a moment before forcing a small smile.]

Well... I guess I could just get some new clothes for now. Maybe it will show up later...?

Yeah, I guess you never know.

Would you like some company?

[And now her slightly forced smile becomes less fake.]

I'd like that, thanks.

[she smiles back with a nod] There are a few just up ahead we can go to.

Ah— my name is Uchiha Mikoto, by the way. I don't think I introduced myself.
