First Flame [ Action ]

[ 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...

There sure are lots of nice people here.

But, uh, yeah that'd be great.

Oh? Met a bunch of others?

[Starts leading the way with a light gesture.]

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. ]

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

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

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. ]

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.

Yeah, but he was a teacher back home too. You know him? Okumura Yukio? [ This is proud big brother talk slipping its way through. ]

[ So long as he wasn't wincing or complaining then Rin was happy. ] Good ta' meetcha too.

... Can. You, explain that to me... please. I don't understand how this happened at all.

Sorry, haven't met him. Do you you know what class he teaches?

Ahhh let's see... Does your world know about planets and roughly how far apart they are? Imagine Time is like that as well. Only the Time Compression spell squeezes everyone together like an accordion. All to this point.

Uh... He told me. But. I can't remember the whole name.

Something about medicine.

...W-what? [ He did not understand that at all ]

Is it an advanced one?

Here hold on. [Flips through his notebook where he drew sketches the last time someone asked him. Here.] Basically, everything gets squished together and all the timelines that once would have stayed parallel are now crisscrossing.

Yeah that one! [ At least he's pretty sure. ]

[ And now everything is clear to Rin. ]

Ohhh! I get it!

Whoa... impressive.

[Beams. He's glad to help... and he's used to trying to explain things to far more slow people than Rin.] You sure? If there's other questions, I'll try to answer those too.

He's a smart guy. He taught classes back... home too. [ That felt weird to say. ]

Thanks! You're a nice guy! [ He has to think if he's got more questions. ] Do you know why all the worlds are... like that?

Wow, really? Talk about a smart guy, eh?

[Arches an eyebrow. "Nice" ahahaha well, the kid didn't know him that well yet.] From the Time Compression. Time and space can't be separated too easily, eh? In order to compress time in order to travel it, it wound up dragging space along with it. That meant the various planets from all the worlds people came from wanted to exist in the same space. Well, that's quite impossible. Call it a universal fail-safe, like your immune system fights off viruses or things going wrong. So in order to keep everything in check, the people from the corners of the worlds all converge here where time's being compressed to and -- I'm losing you here, aren't I?

Suffice to say, everything's squished together through a "spell." And people are working to fix it, but that kind of thing can't happen overnight.

Yup, lots of people call him a genius.

...Kay. I think I got it. [ Partially. He did get a little lost on the way there though. ]

So... we're stuck here. Until it's over.

Fair enough.

Yes. So best make the most of it.

I guess. So you got one of these letters when you arrived too?

[ Holding up his welcome letter. ]

Ah... no. I came here a year and a half ago. Before they started giving out the letters actually.

[ And he's back to staring at the paper. ]

Which means everything in here is true... augh. Thanks for explaining it to me.

[ They're probably arrived at the fisherman's building by now. ]

Is this the temporary dorm place?
