First Cut ∴ I'm here.

[beloved_one]

[Seimei had made his way to the welcome hall and sat in his room for some time thinking and studying. He didn't like it, having to stay so close to others; going so far as to being forced to share a bathroom with someone else. He had already locked to the door leading to the other from the inside so that it wouldn't open for the poor soul stuck with him.

There was no Neisei, no Soubi, nor were any of his other 'allies' to be found in Asgard. Instead there was a single name that he was able to recognize. First he would need to find someone to finance him, and a few contacts that he would be able to use, there were still a lot of things he needed to know about the gods as well, once he had that then he would be able to plan what to do next.

Starting the feed Seimei changes to a bright smile and has a very upbeat tone to his voice.]

It seems there are a lot of things to adjust to here. And it's very nice of them to give us a place to stay, but I was wondering if there was anyone that had a place that might offer a little more privacy. I would prefer somewhere that might be a little quieter and easier to think in.

I would be willing to compensate you for it of course once I am able to find employment.

Also there have been several people who seem to have recognized me, but I'm afraid that there is only one person that I know here. So if you could please introduce yourselves once again it would be helpful.

[Filtered to Ritsuka.]
Ritsuka, I'm here.

[Ritsuka had seen the coming and going of his friends and family enough times to not be phased too much when they come back.

Well... except when it came to Seimei.

Because Seimei was everything, Seimei had been, was, and would remain such a quintessential aspect of his life. Seimei knew everything about him when no one else did.]

S-Seimei?

[He supposes some part of him is grateful this message is not written in blood this time, but it didn't bother him then and it wouldn't bother him now.

His brother was here. Seimei was here.]

[in_loveless_memory]

Seimei....

[He can't believe it. What did Seimei last remember? Would Seimei answer his question about Soubi if he asked?

He just wanted to hug Seimei again. He wanted his brother because no matter what they went through and what Seimei made him endure, he loved his brother deeply, dearly. He swallowed.]

W-Where are you? Seimei... please... tell me.

[Video]

[beloved_one]

It's me Ritsuka.

I've just settled into my room. Would you like to meet somewhere? [After all Seimei was in Loki and he had seen stories in his research about the discomforts of alien welcome halls.]

[Video]

[in_loveless_memory]

Ah... yes. Yes that sounds... Are you hungry? Are you... we need to really talk.

There's a lot I have to explain.

[Video]

[beloved_one]

[Seimei has some idea of what it is Ritsuka wants to talk about, or at the least he can hazard a guess. There were certain things he would answer and others he wouldn't.]

If you want something to eat we can meet at a restaurant. Is there one that would be good that we would be able to discuss what you want to talk about?

[Video]

[in_loveless_memory]

Anywhere is fine, really, but for privacy... honestly the park would be best.

[Video]

[beloved_one]

It's been a while since we've gone someplace like that. Alright the park will be fine, and then I can take Ritsuka to get something to eat once we've talked.

[Video] to action?

[in_loveless_memory]

Gefion park, it's not too far from the Loki district. I'll... I'll meet you there in 20 minutes?

[Video] to action it is

[beloved_one]

Twenty minutes.

[Seimei hadn't really settled in too much so it was only a moment before he was out the door and on his way to the park. Wanting to ensure that he would arrive before Ritsuka.]

[Action]

[in_loveless_memory]

[He had run out the door to the park. He didn't really need twenty minutes so much as he needed to try and get his thoughts straight. His brother was here. Did that mean Soubi would follow? Soubi wasn't on the list. What did Seimei know? What did he remember? What had happened already back home?

His ears were pressed back as he paced back and forth. He always had these questions, had to go through this again... what if Seimei was even further in time? Would he tell him?]

You can get your own place, if you are able to pay for it.

Or do you really want company?

[Video]

[beloved_one]

I would prefer someplace that I could come and go in private, as well as not have to share personal space such as a bathroom. Though if it requires additional rent I'll need to find employment first I suppose.

[Video]

[okamichild]

There are individual houses, I think. I mean, houses just for one.

But you will need to pay for it, yes. Some houses are more expensive than others, so it's easier to have a roommate to help you pay the rent.

[Video]

[beloved_one]

I wouldn't object to a roommate. I take it though that you've remained in your welcome hall?

[Video]

[okamichild]

Oh- yeah, sometimes.

Other times I just sleep at a friend's place. <small<[ he is kind of like a stray ]

[Video]

[beloved_one]

So it is possible to stay in another welcome hall, or do they have private residences? [info, info, he needs all the information he can get.]

[Video]

[okamichild]

You can stay in another Welcome Hall but only for a little while. it starts to feel bad, after.

A private residence is better.

[Video]

[beloved_one]

So it is true. I will keep that in mind.

[Video]

[okamichild]

[ Ame nods ] Good luck.

[Video]

[beloved_one]

Thank you.

[made_4_ritsuka]

Seimei-san, you're back! Ritsuka-kun will be happy.

[beloved_one]

I'm certain that he will be. Are you friends with Ritsuka?

[made_4_ritsuka]

Oop sorry. [That's right now she remembers that sometimes people don't remember things when they come back.] I am! We're in the same class, Soubi-san used to come get from school all the time. I'm Yuiko, Yuiko Hawatari.

[beloved_one]

So you know Soubi as well? You must be rather special then. I didn't think that Ritsuka had made such a close friend at his new school.
