OPEN ♦ a cat about town
who: X'rhun Tia and YOU
what: An open mingle while X'rhun acclimates himself to the city. X'rhun will not be suffering from amnesia himself, but characters who are can certainly come bother him.
when: Mid-August, shortly after his arrival in the Quarantine.
where: Various places, including communal housing floor 10 and outside the perimeter fence.
warnings: None at the moment!
A | COMMUNAL HOUSING, floor 10
[ He has been informed that this is where he lives, now. He’s not unused to sharing space with others, so he’s not to bothered. His fellow Duelists occupied the same space as the resistance fighters of his homeland, and there was certainly not enough space there to go around. This place, however, is roomier and more well-furnished than even some of the inns he’s stayed in on his travels.
The red mage doesn’t have anything he cares to leave in the trunk at the end of his bed, preferring to keep his rapier and the accompanying crystal secure at his hips, so he gives the sleeping area only a cursory inspection before heading for the kitchen area.
Alright, stove, sink, cabinets. All standard, if a bit strangely designed. It’s the fridge that catches his attention, and he opens it to get a blast of cold air in the face. It’s not hard to discern its purpose after peering inside. ]
That is ingenious.
B | AROUND TOWN
[ X’rhun has learned that the sound of every approaching vehicle is not an attacking enemy in magitek armor, but now and again he still tenses at it. Decades of habit are difficult to break.
Aside from that, however, the city itself is fascinating. Instead of open-air markets, the shops are sectioned off into neat little rooms all their own. It’s strangely quiet to his ears without people shouting and bartering and trying to hock their wares, until he catches the sounds of a cheering crowd. He follows the noise to an electronics shop. The array of televisions set up in the front window are showing some sort of sporting event, but it just looks like chaos to X’rhun.
More than anything, he’s captivated by the clarity of the picture. If he didn’t know better, he’d think he was watching through a window, rather than some sort of video broadcast, like he’s seen on the network. His tail twitches as he watches, clearly absorbed until he catches the reflection of a passerby in the window. ]
Dare I ask if you know the rules of this game?
C | PERIMETER FENCE
[ Okay, so the forests are crawling with monsters, but frankly it’s the closest thing to home he’s come across here. It’s quieter, away from the central areas of the city, even if the fence is a massive technological beast in and of itself. Being on the Guard gives X’rhun a reason to step outside the city when he likes, though he doesn’t dare go too far until he has a better grasp of his surroundings.
His self-imposed boundaries still give him leave to wander through the woods a decent distance, eyes and ears alert, one hand on the hilt of his blade should he need it. ]
D | ANYTHING ELSE

[ He peers over at the device in Hana’s hands and watches with rapt attention. This is so far beyond him, and yet here is this girl wielding this technology as though it were second nature. Truly, he has a long way to go.
Slowly, he nods as she goes through the steps. The message that arrives on Hana’s phone comes from "crimson.duelist". ]
Ah, I see. It is somewhat like communicating via linkpearl, though with text instead of one’s voice.
no subject
Yeah, sure! I mean, you can use this to communicate with your voice, too. You speak into it and it can record ad send a voice message, or you can call someone and just, like, talk to them over this thing.
no subject
not even the game devs]Is there anything it can't do? It seems that would be the shorter list.
no subject
Actually, there's really nothing it can't do. Except maybe, like, bring you back to your home dimension or whatever.
no subject
[ It’s clear by his tone and the grin on his face that he’s joking. He would very much like to go home, as would everyone he imagines, but he never actually expected that much out of this little box. ]
I suppose I’ll have to make do with it being able to do everything else instead.
no subject
Yeah, I guess so! Do you have photographs, where you're from? Because this thing can take those, too.
no subject
I'm afraid the word doesn't ring a bell.
