one ✶

[uwawa]

[ Uh oh, looks like Viki's having a sneezing fit. Cue appearing and disappearing repeatedly, teleporting from one warp point to another in no particular order. Yes, all the warp points. ]

W-wa--no...not a--

Atchoo! [ there she goes again. ]

Atchoo! [ and again. ]

Atchoo! [ and again-- oh wait, nothing happened this time. Until there's a small rain of potted plants landing around her. ]

...oops. Ooh...I hope I didn't catch a cold. [ because that would be Very Bad. for the safety of other human beings. ]

[firetrap]

What the...? [ Lu Xun eyes the newcomer, wide-eyed, then-- ] Watch out!

[ He runs towards her, knocking the potted plants away with his swords, scanning around them for signs of enemies ... and sees none. Lu Xun frowns, but keeps searching. Without looking back for now, he asks, ] My lady, are you hurt?

[uwawa]

Oh no, oh no! Y-you're too close-- I'm going... Aaa...

Atchoo! [ they both disappear and reappear at the warp point by the harbor. ]

Waa...um...are you okay?

[mercuryangel]

[And who should just happen be nearby but someone neither of you have met?!]

Ahh! Are you both all right?

[ooc:three-person threading CHALLENGE if that's okay with you]

perfectly okay!

[firetrap]

[ He looks around for a bit, recognizing their location then turns back to face the two girls, unsure about what had just happened. ] I am unharmed but...

[ He looks at Viki, trying to see if she's hurt. ]

[swordrain]

[Well, Alpha's totally not the kind of guy to go out of his way to protect people. And those potted plants probably won't even hurt her.

...But he heads over after they've fallen around her to make sure.]

You make that happen?

[uwawa]

[ it's okay, she doesn't expect anyone to be able to save her from...herself. ]

I'm sorry! Did I get you?

[swordrain]

[oh that's coo']

They wouldn't have hit me even if I had been standing right next to you. [He has to boast of his skills, okok.]

[uwawa]

Oh, I'm glad! [ wait. ]

...you're going to stand next to me? [ you don't look like the tablet guardian :|a ]

[lavenderglasses]

[for once, she didn't land on top of him, and for that he is infinitely grateful. he spots her from across the square, and her sudden appearance caused enough of a fuss that she could probably make do without his involvement. but not, there's a politeness engrained in him, and the unending need to keep up a good reputation, that has him heading over and carefully picking up some of the larger pieces of broken pottery before she can cut herself on them.]

I see you have this problem fairly often, then.

[uwawa]

[ she had squeezed her eyes shut as if preparing to teleport again. takes a peek. ]

Saralegui! [ yes, she does in fact remember you! And that she remembered makes her... proud so she doesn't look too upset about the fact that she scattered pottery everywhere. ]

Um, sometimes when I sneeze... Or when I'm not completely awake. Or...um... wa...I make a lot of mistakes.

[lavenderglasses]

As long as you're not hurt, then it's fine. You are unhurt, correct?

[it's a little strange, being called by his given name so casually -- even belias wouldn't drop the formalities with him, not even in private, so yuuri and his mother were the only ones that had ever called him by name. given that they were both rulers of their own respective kingdoms, that level of familiarity was forgivable, even by the public.

as he'd known viki for all of a few days...well, it was a bit bizarre. but he wouldn't resist it -- it was actually fairly nice, not having the wall of his title to separate him from others.]

[uwawa]

[ it helps that she doesn't know his title. But regardless to her knowing someone for a few days and a few months aren't all that different. ]

I'm fine! I've gotten used to it... [ she laughs a bit sheepishly and suddenly takes a few steps back from him. ]

Um...but if I sneeze again you shouldn't be so close, I might teleport you too. And who knows where we'd end up.

[greatcleavage]

Hello, Viki.

[Guess who was inconveniently close to one of those warp points!]

[Guess who made for a comfortable landing!]

[Guess who's face down, currently serving as her comfy place to sit!]

[uwawa]

Huh? Viki? Where? I haven't seen her in so long...

[ oh wait. ]W-wa-wa!

[ she notices Roy finally and scrambles off. ] Are you okay?

[greatcleavage]

To be honest, after being dead for a few months, it's really hard to answer that question proportionally. There's always a part of you that says, 'well, compared to that..."

[He gets to his feet, brushing himself off as he does]

I've had worse. You're not exactly heavy. That was your teleport magic, I take it?

[uwawa]

You were dead?! [ stares at him. ] Are...are you still dead?

[reified]

[ apollo's kind of being stationary right now. appearing unwillingly in a place like this leaves a bad taste in his mouth, and he's taking the time to mutter to himself to ascertain the facts about this world-- and the like, really. it's his way of getting his bearings.

... of course, it's rather hard when there are distractions abound-- particularly sneezes and... what on earth is that human doing? the fact that she appeared out of thin air is interesting, but the sheer amount of noise she's making takes precedence. he appears nearby, floating in mid air, and scowls. ]

Are you quite done?

[uwawa]

[ GIVE HER A SECOND. SHE IS TRYING TO NOT SNEEZE. ]

Fwaa...um, I think so. Nn... [ she looks around to check where she is. ] Oh, I'm still here.

[reified]

[ fine. but JUST ONE SECOND he's counting-- and here, his frown deepens. ]

Of course you are. Anyone with half a pair of eyes can tell you that.

[ why are you looking around, human. ] Satisfied, yet?

[uwawa]

Oh sometimes I end up in strange places so I thought... Well it's good I didn't lose something this time... [ she freezes up when he asks her a question. ]

H-huh? I don't understand.

[antiside]

[ Leon just barely dodges a potted plant. Seriously, where did they even come from?? ]

What do you think you're doing?

1/2

[uwawa]

Sorry! [ she apologises before even really looking at who else is yelling at her. ]

Huh...Lu-- Leon?

[uwawa]

[ watch her brighten up and totally forgot she nearly pelted you with a flower pot. ]

Wa! See, we did meet again!

[antiside]

[ Why does he keep asking that when he knows he isn't going to get a good answer? Actually, you can see the somber realization dawning right now. ]

... It's you, again.

[uwawa]

It is! I'm Viki~! [ an excited little clap. ]

O-oh, do you need to go somewhere?
