[ action - for house 12 ]

[Nice and early in the morning, there'll be a wonderful noise coming from one of the empty bedrooms in house 12.

... Except not, because the noise is a loud THUD, followed by a groan and (if one is listening closely) a "dammit" and some mumbled complaining. Being dropped on the edge of an old mattress and immediately falling off of it onto the floor because of that isn't the best feeling to wake up to. Especially when you're just arriving in Luceti.

But uh, yeah. Good morning, house 12 residents!]

[ action - in the late afternoon to evening ]

[Now that he's gotten a fair chunk of his Luceti memories back, Yuri decides to head out that evening and refamiliarize himself with the village a little. Might as well try to get as much of his memory back before doing one of those "hey, I'm back" things, right? Well, it makes sense to him, anyway. He's more or less wandering all over the place in the village, but notably, he's stopping by the Smithy (might as well see if one of his swords is lying around there!), the Battle Dome (only to take a look at the place, though), and finally, the Good Spirits bar. Still, he may come across as a New Feather while he does his wandering, as he slows down a lot while he wanders - sometimes coming to full stops to look at areas or buildings.

Aside from those three places noted, he doesn't really hang around anywhere else in particular, but as he does slow to stops often in random places, feel free to catch him just about anywhere in the village.]

Hey, that's what ice materia is for. Assuming the apocalypse doesn't destroy it all, that is.

[This is the most chipper end-of-the-world chat ever.]

[trueknight]

I'm sure it's probably durable enough. ... Whatever it is.

[wingenvy]

Oh, materia's like- this concentrated chemical. It forms into little balls that let people on my world use magic. I'll have to show you sometime, it's pretty cool.

[trueknight]

That kind of sounds like blastia cores, but I really doubt they're the same thing. [Especially since they're not made the same way, and not just used for magic.] I guess I'll find out for sure whenever you show me.

[wingenvy]

I'll bring it to the next BV meeting, then. All I've got is lightning, though. Materia's in short supply around here.

[trueknight]

Well, it's definitely better than nothing. I'm not too surprised that there isn't a lot of it around, though. It doesn't sound like something our generous caretakers would want anyone to have too much of.

[wingenvy]

Well, I don't know about that one. It's not that much stronger than the magic we can learn from those spirit things, really. Though I guess if they started duplicating all over the place it might get out of hand.

[trueknight]

That's what I was thinking. I mean, it's one thing to have to train yourself to use magic, and something else to have something around that makes it easier to use.

[wingenvy]

Yeah, good point. I do miss using it sometimes, though. Maybe I should start taking on missions to ask for 'em!

[trueknight]

Missions? [ ... ] ... Oh, those things. I guess you could ... I don't really trust them all that much, myself. Not so sure I like the idea of doing anything to help those guys out, either - even if I'd get something out of it.

[wingenvy]

I wouldn't say I trust them either, but plenty of people have already done them, so I figure I might as well give it a shot. I keep getting cabin fever around here.

[trueknight]

Well, I guess it's better than just sitting around. [Shruggin'.] I still wouldn't do them myself, but I don't exactly have anything to gain from helping them, either.

[wingenvy]

Thankfully it's optional. Anyway, I'm still thinking about it. Haven't made up my mind one way or another just yet.

[trueknight]

I'd say to go for it, since you can get something out of it. Don't let my opinion change your mind, or whatever.

[wingenvy]

Don't worry, I very rarely listen to the advice other people have to offer.

[trueknight]

Somehow, I'm not at all surprised to hear that.

[wingenvy]

I would hope not, otherwise I'd think you didn't know me at all.

[trueknight]

C'mon, cut me a little slack ... I did just get back today, you know.

[Even if that's hard to believe, given how much he's recalling just on day one.]

[wingenvy]

True enough- I'll try to keep that in mind.

[His expression sobers a little at that, though he's still smiling.]

It really is good to have you back, Yuri.

[trueknight]

Heh. Even with all the problems that come with it, it's good to be back.

[wingenvy]

[Zack just grins and fetches them each another beer. It's not the greatest kind of celebration to have, but reunion between friends is always a good thing.]
