First Transmutation

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[As the small boy wakes up, dressed in his green jumper and hat, he shivers slightly and notices all the snow around. Standing up, he tugs on one of his ear flaps and slowly looks around the island. Clearly, he was lost. Was he alone?]

How did I get here? Or rather, where is here...?

[He'll be walking around with no real destination in mind.]

I-I'm Alpho--[wait, he almost forgot that he wasn't playing the part of an imposter anymore.] I mean, I'm Fletcher. Um, do you know where this is?

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

It's an island... [And that's all she really knows about the place right now, sorry.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

An island...? Oh. Were you looking for someone?

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

[Headshakes. She was just wandering around a little.]

Are you? [Looking for someone, she means.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

I was...looking for my big brother, but I got lost.

[Things are a lot scarier when he isn't around to cling onto.]

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

Oh... [How to tell him that his big brother might not actually be here...]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[Tilting his head to the side a little] Um...why were you hiding?

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

[She just kind of looks away, not giving an answer to that one at first until...]

..Gotta be careful. Never know what might be around.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[His body tenses up at hearing that]

What...?! [Now he's looking around nervously, hoping nothing would jump out.]

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

It's okay. There's no one else here right now... [As far as she can tell, anyway.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

I wonder how many people were taken here...[there could very well be a lot of people scattered about, but it could have only been a handful of them too.]

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

[She shrugs. She's only personally aware of herself, Madotsuki and Sabitsuki, maybe two other people, and now you. But it's likely there's probably more that she just hasn't come across or met yet.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He tugs on one of his flaps lightly.] Do you have any friends here, Urotsuki?

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

[She gives a slight nod...before she changes the topic a little, the cold starting to get to her a little.]

...We should probably go somewhere warmer.

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

Oh, y-yeah. Good idea. Do you have someplace in mind?

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

[She nods before she starts to walk off, though she does look back once to see if you're following us.]

[watersprout.insanejournal.com]

[He is, and looking around to make sure nothing is going to jump out at them.]

[soulpaths.insanejournal.com]

[Luckily...or maybe it was just Urotsuki being her usual somewhat paranoid self, it doesn't look like anything is actually going to jump out at them right now. She just walks without really talking until they reach what appears to be a guesthouse on the island. In a rare moment of courtesy, she's even nice enough to stop and actually hold the door open for you too.]

[Fletcher's actually surprised to see that there was shelter around, he was glad they wouldn't have to freeze. He wanted to look more, but he decided it be best to start fresh later on.]

[He smiles at her gesture] Oh, thank you.
