001 [Action] Lobby!

[Have a perplexed, out of place Ryu.  His attention is on a piece of paper in his hands, trying to make heads or tails of the situation at hand.  The whole school thing was new to him, as, hey, farming communities don't really need education, they just need able bodies and sharp tools.  Granted, he was deeper in the woods away from them, but it all fit together either way.  He hadn't even begun exploring the school, let alone his own room.  Any passerbys might notice a fishing pole leaning against the railing of the main walkway.  It looked just like his clothing, in that it had seen a lot of time on the road.]

...Out of the frying pan, and into the fire, I guess.

Time Compression. Cause space glitches too.

[He hadn't really mentioned that was something of a partial lie. He pieced together how he got there, but really, Ryu didn't think these people needed to know about the Brood. At least, not just yet.]

Did it affect your world somehow? I mean, besides bringing you here.

[fierybluebird]

Not exactly. But apparently there's alternate version of my world. Which gets complicated. [Stated quite deadpan.]

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Another world? It sounds complicated already. [So for all he knew, maybe there was a Ryu out there with a blue goatee.]

[fierybluebird]

Exactly. I only ever thought there was one.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

You're not the only one. Do you think anyone back home would believe us?

[fierybluebird]

Maybe, eh. They barely believe me as it is, but they're used to me saying weird things.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

My friends probably would, but the rest of the world? That's a completely different story. No need to draw attention from the king a second time.

[fierybluebird]

Oh? What happened the first time?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

[Oh, I was just blamed for kidnapping the princess while stopping these other guys from doing just that.]

Let's just say I wasn't socially refined enough for him.

[fierybluebird]

Sounds like a tenryuubito through and through.

[He paused, trying to repeat the strange word Marco said. It didn't work very well.]

What does it mean?

[fierybluebird]

They're a type of elite royalty in my world. They're allowed to do absolutely anything and they don't even want to breathe the same air as commoners. Luckily, they're pretty stupid.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

I can say with some certainty he's not that bad, just... Difficult to get past a misunderstanding.

[fierybluebird]

So it was a little more than you being uncouth?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

It's a bit complicated. I'm sorta being blamed for kidnapping someone when I was actually the one who rescued her. His daughter and my close friend, Nina. She left a second time of her own will, and it just went downhill from there.

[fierybluebird]

Daughters are tricky stuff. Maybe he figured you were in love with her.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

It's a little complicated.

[fierybluebird]

Got the time and patience?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Let's just say she had a penchant for getting into trouble. I couldn't just let something bad happen to her.

[fierybluebird]

Heh, bored of the royal life then?

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

I was bored to tears just hearing her describe it. Give me freedom any day.

[fierybluebird]

I see. It's pretty sympathetic, eh. Something any pirate would understand.

[dragon-savior.livejournal.com]

Freedom? Being able to go wherever you want? You'd think anyone would love the idea.

[fierybluebird]

You'd think.

But I doubt it's something Prison wardens much appreciate.
