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...

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?

[fierybluebird]

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.

[fierybluebird]

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. ]

[fierybluebird]

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?
