Naoto's Heart

[dramatispersonae]

You find yourself falling through a black abyss, the air cold around you, although not bitingly so. Just as your eyes begin to adjust to the darkness on every side, you're dropped through a chute and tossed out into a brightly-lit area...

"That was me. Thank you for putting me back together."

Re: True Heart

[. . . ah]

You're welcome. I kind of had to take a part from the robot scientist to do so, though. . .

And I couldn't replace it.

"The scientist... is a complex matter, one I wouldn't expect any of you to address. That will come to light at some point, I suspect."

Re: True Heart

[lifeistooshort]

Complex. . .?

[hah. . .]

I'd ask, but it's probably not my business, considering we've never met before now.

Re: True Heart

[dramatispersonae]

"No, but you have acted admirably, regardless."

Re: True Heart

[lifeistooshort]

Yeah? Thanks.

That crystal I left with the scientist, it's for protection. I don't know how it'll work here, but I was supposed to use it to call Nimue for help whenever I needed it.

. . . so take care of it?

Re: True Heart

[dramatispersonae]

"I will."

Re: True Heart

[lifeistooshort]

Thanks.

I'm Ed! Some of my teammates call me TK, but Ed is the name I prefer.

Re: True Heart

[dramatispersonae]

"Ed-san, then? It's nice to meet you. My name is Naoto Shirogane, or Sleuth."

Re: True Heart

[lifeistooshort]

Just Ed, '-san' sounds weird.

Good finally getting your name though, Naoto.

"If I seem rather alarmed at your presence when you leave here, I must ask you to forgive me."

Re: True Heart

[lifeistooshort]

No hard feelings. I'd be pretty alarmed too after something like this.

Re: True Heart

[dramatispersonae]

"Thank you for understanding."

Re: True Heart

[lifeistooshort]

[nods, then holds up the lemon Fluffy gave him]

So.

Is this supposed to make me stronger?

Re: True Heart

[dramatispersonae]

"It ought to, yes."

You've received a +1 Dexterity boost.

Re: True Heart

[I FEEL A LITTLE FASTER]

Awesome.

Re: True Heart

[dramatispersonae]

"Glad to hear it."
