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.

[analyzing]

To the stores! You wanted to change out of that, right?

[fortuneprince]

Oh, yes, I do.

[As fast as possible]

[analyzing]

Thought so! I'll show you the way there, but make sure you keep up, okay?

[fortuneprince]

Understood.

[Not that she expects Rise to make a run for it]

[analyzing]

[sprints off And to the stores we go! At a reasonable jaunty pace.]

Sooo, what's everyone been telling you about this place, Naoto-kun? You got a few replies on your journal, right?

[fortuneprince]

[trips and falls Somehow she manages to keep up with Rise]

Yes, I have spoken to several people. They have basically told me the same things we have discussed.

[analyzing]

[And poor Naoto was left allll alone She nods thoughtfully. Hmmm...]

Did they tell you about the drafts?

[fortuneprince]

[waaaaaaaah how could you do this to me She nods as well]

Yes, I have been informed about the drafts.

[analyzing]

[SUCK IT UP, NAOTO Doot dee doot, she looks ahead as she says the next bit.]

Including the infiltration ones?

[fortuneprince]

[ QAQ WAAAH I'M GONNA CRY LIKE TEDDIE NOW She blinks]

No, I have yet to hear of those.

[analyzing]

I thought so...it's not something that we're supposed to talk about over the network.

[Which is, in a way, her way of apologising for being particularly vague earlier.]

[fortuneprince]

That's understandable seeing as how the Malnosso listen to everything.

[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?
