1st Case- [Accidental Video]

[fortuneprince]

[At first, the only thing shown on the video is a clear sky with grass surrounding the lens.  The wind blows gently, causing the grass to sway slightly.

A moment later, the grass shifts around and a blue haired girl appears, obviously not in her normal outfit.  She takes a look around]

Where...where am I? 

[She carefully stands up, now her pale legs only seen on the camera]   The mountain range in Inaba perhaps..?  [Before the young girl is able to take a step forward, a small cry of pain comes from her and she collapses on her knees, her hand gripping her shoulder.

A pair of small, dark blue wings appear behind her for a moment, giving a slight flap before disappearing behind her back again.  It takes a few moments before the girl is able to finally relax again, her hand sliding off her shoulder]

Wings...? ....Am I dead?  ...No that couldn't possibly be right.  Once one is dead, there is supposedly no pain, yet I can feel it.

But where is my uniform?  [she stares at the white dress, playing with the straps for a moment]  I don't remember ever purchasing this dress nor do I remember changing into it.

[The blue haired girl finally looks straight at the camera, reaching forward to grab the journal.]  A journal?  This could prove to be useful.

If I'm here it's possible the others are as well.  I must find them as fast as possible.

Comments

[analyzing]

Uh-huh. Some people have managed to get around that but...I've never really found out how.

[fortuneprince]

Though I haven't had much time to look over the journal thoroughly, I'm sure in due time we may find out how to do just that.

[analyzing]

I guess so...

Is there something that you want to say to the village without anyone eavesdropping, Naoto-kun?

[fortuneprince]

[A nod]

There are multiple things I wish to ask the people who live here, but for the time being, there are other matters that must be attended to first.

1/2

[analyzing]

[Hmm.]

[analyzing]

In that case...

[And about-turning to look at Naoto.]

I'll just have to take one of those matters out of your hand then. You'll be staying with me!

[fortuneprince]

[Blinking a few times]

Staying with you? [She had planned to stay at the Welcome Center but staying with Rise doesn't sound too bad as long as she doesn't cook]

[analyzing]

That's right! You'll be needing somewhere to stay after all.

[fortuneprince]

[Since it's better than staying alone, and it's with a friend she just decides to accept]

Thank you, Rise-san. I appreciate it.

[analyzing]

[She waves it off.]

Don't worry about it. There's plenty of room around anyway, so it gets kinda lonely living alone.

[fortuneprince]

That's understandable. Where do you live?

[analyzing]

C4! It's just like the one back there [and here she whirls around to point at C1 as she walks backwards] except that it's much closer to where all the action is!

...well, most of it.

[fortuneprince]

[She looks back at where Rise is pointing then blinks, looking back at Rise]

Closer to the action? What action may that be?

[analyzing]

Well, the normal stuff! You know, like parties and all. [headtilt] It's probably because all the shops are there, now that I think about it...

[fortuneprince]

No doubt that may be the cause. [Not that Naoto minds, she just hopes there's quiet around there when she sleeps]

[analyzing]

At least we won't be living near the grocery store...I think it'd be pretty noisy there all the time.

[But she doesn't seem too bother by the prospect- and ah, there we go. She raises an arm to point at the plaza. Have they just walked clear across the village? Yes. Yes, they have.]

Let's see, you wanted to get your clothes first, right?

[fortuneprince]

I suppose that's true.

[She's grateful for it too. Fast walkers aren't they? Naoto glances around at the plaza, observing the buildings]

That's correct.

[analyzing]

Right, we'll go to the normal store then. But you gotta pick out more than just your stuff...you can't wear the same thing every day.

[As she says this, she'll take Naoto's arm now and attempt to tug her towards the actual clothing shop. C'mon, let's gooo.]

[fortuneprince]

Do you think my other clothes will have arrived here as well?

[She's taken by surprise at the sudden tug, but goes with her, trying to keep up with her pace]

[analyzing]

Of course, but why wear an old wardrobe when you can get a new one for free? It's a fresh start!

[fortuneprince]

I feel more comfortable when in my normal attire, though if I do obtain new clothes, I do hope you realize I don't want any dresses.

[analyzing]

[siiigh] I know, I know. Stick to the normal stuff, right?

[fortuneprince]

[A smile and a nod]

That's correct.

[analyzing]

Hmmm...

[Even if dresses aren't on the agenda, there's still other stuff in there. Other slightly girlier stuff that aren't dresses! That's always a good start.

...not that any of this will be quite obvious as she holds the door open for Naoto with a regular smile.]

[fortuneprince]

[Hmm...something fishy is going on here. Rise is planning something, she can just feel it. Though for now she walks in, nodding a bit as a thank you.

She looks around the store curiously]
