First Flame [ Action ]

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

[ Heading down the hall is a very confused and displeased looking teenage boy. He's dressed in normal street wear, has a cat hanging lazily on his head, and sword bag slung over his shoulder. Don't mind the fact that he seems to be talking to no one. ]

What the hell-I'm supposed to be going out to battle, not school!

[ Rin's got his letter of welcome out, and for the last few minutes he's been wandering around the grounds giving it the dead eye. Not even ten minutes before he'd found himself here he was on his way out to fight an incredibly strong demon with his classmates. He couldn't have taken a wrong turn... Did someone hit him upside the head when he wasn't looking and knock him in this dream world? That would be beyond ridiculous. He's had enough of space compression magic to fill a life time. ]

If I'm going to be stuck here [Dream world or not. ] The least they could have done was given me a map so I knew where this Fisherman place is...

[ Dead pan... ]

Isn't feinting randomly a disorder?? Sleep Apnea or something??

[fierybluebird]

It's out the main entrance, which is near where the map is. Want help?

[notthestars.livejournal.com]

[She just smiles.]

Narcolepsy.

[spareglasses]

[He's not sure whether he should count that as a blessing or a curse. On the one hand, it's best if Rin doesn't randomly burst into blue flames here, but on the other hand, the fear of said flame isn't all that great either.]

We'll work on it. Together.

[ If provoked Rin probably could ignite his flames, but now he was too worried about hurting someone because of them. Even if he'd learned to control them just a little bit, he lacked the confidence in himself to wield what Shura had been trying to help him understand.

So Yukio's words hit home with Rin. ]

Looks like I'll be relying on you again then.

B-but that doesn't mean I won't figure it out by myself either!!

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

Whatever.

Are you sure you didn't just do that on purpose.

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

There sure are lots of nice people here.

But, uh, yeah that'd be great.

[notthestars.livejournal.com]

[She frowns and looks stern.]

Why would I faint on purpose?

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

It just seemed like ya' did...

[ He's shrink back. ] I've never seen someone just, do that, before.

[fierybluebird]

Oh? Met a bunch of others?

[Starts leading the way with a light gesture.]

[notthestars.livejournal.com]

Obviously you've never met a Naltorian before. [She unwraps her arms, sets her hands on his shoulder, then reaches up with the free hand...and twicks his nose.]

Ha.

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

Well no cause I've never-[ He's interrupted rather effectively from Nura's flick. Rin squints his eyes and moves away from her,covering his nose protectively. ]

Ow! What was that for???

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

Jus'a few. My younger brother's here. An' this girl called Dreamy.

[ A game of follow the leader is something Rin can keep up with. His attention will continuously wander to their surroundings however. ]

[notthestars.livejournal.com]

[Nura puts her hands on her hips, arms akimbo.]

You had a serious look on your face.

[remnantstrike.livejournal.com]

Yeah, it's not that hard to get there.

[Does she get an award for this.]

[fierybluebird]

Your younger brother? That's convenient, eh. The Time Compression usually splits them up.

I'm Marco. [Offers a quick handshake.]

[fn-rebel.livejournal.com]

[Hey, roomie, Jet just happened to be wandering in the same direction as you. Of course, he's already figured out where this place was and hearing the comment makes him smirk a little.]

Looking for something?

[spareglasses]

I'm sure you will.

[There's a note of teasing to his tone, and the smile on Yukio's face finally grows warmer.]

Just be sure not to figure it out right in front of the locals.

[The transplants here? They have enough of their own wacky powers; one more person with weird abilities isn't going to shake them up too badly, right? It's not like they'll have to find out the bit about Satan.]

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

Yeah he got here before me? He's a teacher here too I guess.

I'm Okumura Rin [ A strong return shake. He's trying not to squeeze too hard, but it might not have worked as well as he thought. ]

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

[ People have shown him where the room is by now! So Rin's just out and about wandering, sans Kuro this time. ]

Not really, unless you know who some Jet guy is.

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

I just landed here so. I don't know anything.

[ Potentially. Right now she can just have his sparkling eyes. ]

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

...

[ This woman was trolling him. And he was falling for every single trick. ]

What sort of face should I be making then?

[callinblueskies.livejournal.com]

I just... gotta figure out how to fix this.

I'm not bright but I'm not that stupid. [ But he probably will accidentally. ]

[ Not that the Satan bit is important... ]

[fierybluebird]

He's a teacher here? And younger??

[Grins at the tight grip. It actually just reminds him of his own brothers, some of whom are three times his size and insanely strong.] Nice to meet you Rin.

You got here a good time at least. Everything's getting back to normal. Well... as normal as Time Compression allows things to get.

[spareglasses]

Once you figure it out, we'll continue with the flame mastery lessons.

[Yukio goes quiet for a moment, his eyes briefly settling on the sword once more.]

We'll need to speak with the headmaster about letting you keep your sword with you at all times as well.
