Spouse of Houtarou Oreki

She’s certainly friendly.. 

Houtarou couldn’t help but to think that it was certainly not unpleasant having someone like this as his apparent spouse, if he really was fated to be with her forever. She didn’t feel the need to talk much, so of course he didn’t need to have to use a lot of energy replying.

Every once in awhile as they were walking, he felt what seemed to be a stare from his companion directed towards him.Why do these eyes feel so familiar? However, Houtarou would just ignore it and keep looking straight ahead.

“I see! Well, it won’t be much longer until we reach our destination. Do you have a preference for confectionery? It’s just…I can order if you want to find a seat and settle in!”

“It’s fine.”

Houtarou replied briefly, but certainly not coldly.  He didn’t really mind sweets, but there was of course no preference either. He wasn’t picky with what he ate, that’d be a waste of energy.

As they kept walking, the two remained quiet, with neither of them saying anything. Houtarou, of course, wasn’t the type to initiate a conversation, especially without reason, and of course as the girl he was walking with didn’t seem to be bothered by the silence, nor was she trying to make conversation on her end, he didn’t feel the need to say anything. 

He glanced at her, and noticed that she was skipping along happily, humming an unidentifiable tune, her unusual, rose-coloured hair bouncing along with her step. Am I really going to… procreate with this girl? Houtarou quickly realized what was on his mind and looked away, clearing his mind of indecent thoughts.

..

“Erm, well here we are! I hope you’ll enjoy it”

Looking ahead, Houtarou saw their destination. It was a nice-looking, uncrowded cafe with a pleasant feeling coming from it. He took the lead and held the door open for her without a word before walking in, himself. 

[m1zuk1]

A slight blush dusted her cheeks at the gentlemanly gesture that Houtarou had shown her, causing her to utter an incredibly flustered thank you in return before shuffling herself in. Mizuki found herself becoming self-aware as she walked into the establishment, and peered at the fellow patrons. Not only was she here with someone else, which is rather unusual in itself, but she was here with a male. The last date she had was with the object of her affections and her best friend - who was also aiming for him. 

Slapping her cheeks slightly to pull her out of the intrusive thoughts, so offered the  teenager a friendly smile before gesturing to the seating arrangements, "Houtarou..." she hesitated slightly at the familiar language she accidentally used before continuing on regardless of what he thought, "perhaps we should sit down so you could look at the menu to decide what you'll like?" The pinkette was sincerely hoping that the informal way she addressed her companion didn't offend him and make him want to walk out and leave her. Even the mere image of it happening in her mind made the girl slam her blue eyes shut to brace herself for any shouting that may happen.

However, to her surprise, nothing came. He was a quiet person after all. She pointed slightly to a clear table by the window and once again, tugged at his arm for him to follow. Blood began its ascent to her face upon doing this for yet another time, but this way, she didn't have to face him since he was behind her. "He probably thinks I'm really strange! But I can't do anything about it now. Why do I have to be so weird?" She mused to herself as she made her way to their destination.

Mizuki paused before she silently scurried away to collect cutlery, sugar and cream to accompany their meal. Anything to get away from the other for a small period of time to calm down. What was it about this boy that made her so flustered? His stoic personality was far from Akihisa's usually bright and caring personality, but it wasn't unpleasant, far from it in fact. As she began walking back to her acquaintance, the girl began growing in confidence again. He was only human after all, and didn't seem like the type to tease. However, this confidence was washed away by stagnant water that was on the ground, which of course, caught her in its evil trap.

  Covered in the cream that had collided with her during her fall to the ground, all she could do was tearfully look at her clothes and at Houtarou that was in front of her.

Her reactions were too much for Houtarou to follow. She’s energetic, at least more so than he is (who isn’t?), but not to the same extent as some others that he’s met. On top of that, her reactions were unexpected, even for him. The normally expressionless boy felt embarrassed when in her presence. Even he couldn’t help thinking she was a little cute, but Houtarou decided thoughts like that would only end up being a waste of energy.

Houtarou sighed, scratched his head, and focused his attention on her again. For some reason, the pink-haired girl in front of him looked a lot more relieved than before. She was even… smiling? Houtarou’s jaw dropped a little in surprise, but his expression quickly returned to normal. 

“It’s a pleasure to meet you! Feel free to call me by my first name, Mizuki. There’s no need to be formal here!” 

“Yeah.. You too.”

Houtarou wasn’t really that good with formalities, and there wasn’t much else to say as-is, so he just left his response like that. Then, without a word she took his hand and began to lead him down the path. The two of them didn’t walk very far before stopping abruptly. I’m a bit confused.. he thought, with this development.

“I-I’m so sorry, I really didn’t mean to hold on to your jacket like that. I don’t know what’s gotten into me….” The teenager paused momentarily to think of an excuse before she continued, “I don’t know why, but I feel quite relaxed around you! You’re so calm.” 

She peered at the boy through azure eyes before the intense eye contact made her break away with the sound effect of “kya”.

There wasn’t much of a problem with being dragged around for him, since he was pretty much used to it by now.

“Don’t worry about it, it’s fine, I’m not bothered.” he replied, in a somewhat reassuring, yet boring voice. Calm..? Houtarou was used to being called ‘lazy’, but calm was a first for him. And it was unusual for anyone to tell him that his presence is relaxing, as well. His green eyes strayed towards hers, and when he looked in her eyes, he couldn’t help but to remember.. It’s not that important.

“Let’s just keep walking”, he called out. He didn’t want to keep wasting time standing around here. He walked by her side, going as slowly as she was.

[m1zuk1]

Ah. Well, at least this boy didn't overreact to her actions however she was certainly expecting something a little more. Not that it was unpleasant or anything. Thinking about it, Mizuki didn't feel an Arctic air encompassing him so, if her instincts were correct, he wasn't uncomfortable in her presence. That's certainly a step forward! Although they had just met, there was a simple, underlying rapport between the two of them that gently pushed the girl forward into wanting to spend more time with him.

  "I see! Well, it won't be much longer until we reach our destination. Do you have a preference for confectionery? It's just...I can order if you want to find a seat and settle in!" She hummed merrily as her eyes shone with excitement. The adolescent was certainly keen to discuss things with her fascinating new acquaintance. Just his deportment was enough to make her intrigued. Most quiet people were fascinating in their own way. Skipping slightly, her high spirits were apparent as she moved with rose hair bouncing behind her. 

Although the two of them were now walking in silence, Mizuki didn't feel the need to fill the voids with conversation. There was nothing awkward about this situation at all and from the outside, it just looked like two acquaintances spending quality time together. Every so often, her periwinkle irises would wonder into the direction of Houtarou and in the fear of being caught staring at him, a faint dusting of pink would make an appearance on her cheeks which would causing the girl to violently shake her head every so often. "I hope he doesn't think I'm odd. I'm so, so stupid," was all she could think about before they finally arrived.

  "Erm, well here we are! I hope you'll enjoy it"

With a deep sigh, Houtarou finally found a quiet place to sit. The air was mild and not quite humid, so the boy decided to rest in a shady spot under a tree. He had to collect his thoughts. He’d accepted that the world had ended already, and he’d accepted that he was “chosen” by some kind of fate to keep living. That much was knowledge to him. But why him? Of all the people to pick, they pick the one with the most average features. The most average genetics. For a purpose like…. procreating, it was absurd that Houtarou would be selected. Although here he is now, and it doesn’t seem like there’s any other option.

Thinking deeply, he recalled that there was someone else assigned to his apartment room. His.. partner. The one that he has to.. procreate with. Houtarou blushed a little at the thought of that, but quickly pulled his mind out of the gutter. He focused, trying to recall the description of the girl that the scientist described. Just then, there was a tug at his sleeve, which pulled him back into reality and brought his attention to a small, flustered girl standing in front of him.

“I-I’m really sorry to disturb you. But are you new to this place? I…know what it’s like to be new without friends…erm….I’m not weird or anything!!” Come on. Spit it out. ” But would you like to get some tea with me? I-it’ll be my treat! I’m Mizuki Himeji…by the way…” Way to sound like a nervous idiot, girly.

Her words, her thoughts, her sentences seemed to all flow out at once. She seemed rather embarrassed, and from the way she was speaking it seemed she wasn’t very good at socializing. It was then that Oreki remembered the scientist’s words. A pink-haired girl around my age, you’ll know her when you see her. It was obvious now who the girl in front of him was. His.. spouse. The thought of this, together with the flustered manner of speech from the one in front of him was enough to affect Houtarou as well. He quickly shook it off to give her an answer in his usual, calm voice.

“Ah.. I’m Oreki Houtarou.” he replied. He’d rather not give her details about how he isn’t really the type to get worried about whether or not he has friends, he decided, since that would only create tension which would cause her to get even more embarrassed, and talking about his personal life wasn’t really important, so he decided to treat the first statement as if it weren’t there.

“Tea would be nice”, he added, accepting her offer in an attempt to calm her down.

[m1zuk1]

Dear God. What did she just do? Radiating embarrassment, the girl simply wanted to excuse herself and get away as quickly as possible. Nobody wants some mess of a girl to associate with them. In a feeble attempt to cover her true feelings up, a childish pout made an appearance before she received a reply (which Mizuki was expecting to be one of rejection) but the pinkette was pleasantly surprised. Did the adolescent just agree?

A sweet wash of relief embraced her upon hearing the answer from the male and her previously worried face was now wearing a bright smile. He seemed nice enough, although a little on the serious side. However, that wasn't unpleasant. Even though she wasn't quite sure how to deal with stoic characters, she saw it as a new challenge to conquer. Perhaps he'll smile as well! A rose tint arose on her cheeks as the girl shook her head to rid herself of these thoughts. She'd only just met him, there was no need to think this way!

"Oreki...Houtarou?" Now why did that name seem so familiar? They certainly hadn't met before....well, no worries! She had plenty of time to find out more about him now. "It's a pleasure to meet you! Feel free to call me by my first name, Mizuki. There's no need to be formal here!" 

Grabbing Houtarou's sleeve once again, she began to pull him playfully in the right direction to a cafe in town. Luckily for him, she had nothing in the apartment to bake with as of yet, so it was the only option. Someone was certainly smiling down on him today. The two of them had walked like that for a few metres before the realisation of what she was doing. Mizuki whipped back her hand quickly and bowed deeply. 

"I-I'm so sorry, I really didn't mean to hold on to your jacket like that. I don't know what's gotten into me...." The teenager paused momentarily to think of an excuse before she continued, "I don't know why, but I feel quite relaxed around you! You're so calm." 

She peered at the boy through azure eyes before the intense eye contact made her break away with the sound effect of "kya".

Awash with a whole spectrum of emotions, Mizuki stood silently within the apartment that she now had to call home. Her thoughts drifted away to an imaginary future back on the surface. This place, as nice as it was, couldn't possibly replace the dulcet life she once had. The girl always dreamed that she would marry for love, like many others, but now that was merely wishful thinking. Well, the adolescent should be happy. She was giving a second chance at life, and that's all what matter now. She was healthy, which was something in itself, and has everything she needs on her doorstep.

  "I should really go along with the doctor's wishes. It would only be rude and ungrateful." She murmured into the empty room she was within. Painfully loneliness shadowed her like a cloudy night as she waited restlessly for her companion. If she stayed in the room much longer, she'll succumb to the negativity that is waiting to dig its nails in. Well, there was nothing stopping her from waiting outside? She could sit on a bench that was located outside the apartment complex and people watch or read. Anything was better than staying indoors at least!

Perking up immediately, the pinkette trotted outside after grabbing the closest book to her. Locking the door behind her, the girl hummed subconsciously whilst she wandered her way to the bench, taking in the sounds as she went along. With all her complaining, she can't deny that civ 9 was actually a nice place. Giving the city a chance would be the best thing for her.

Mizuki parked herself and scanned the area whilst absent-mindedly twirling a curl around her fingers. Wait....who was that? The male seemed new and since she knew what it's like to be stuck in a strange place. All she wanted was a friendly face to say hello. She skipped over to the teenager and tugged lightly on his jacket sleeve before a blush invaded her fair features. God, what was she doing? This was embarrassing. 

  "I-I'm really sorry to disturb you. But are you new to this place? I...know what it's like to be new without friends...erm....I'm not weird or anything!!" Come on. Spit it out. " But would you like to get some tea with me? I-it'll be my treat! I'm Mizuki Himeji...by the way..." Way to sound like a nervous idiot, girly.

I'd rather die--! [open/intro]

Kubo sighed as he sat on a bench on the edge of a garden, looking horribly dejected. A nuclear bomb wasn’t such a bad thing to him, after all, he could use this chance to get closer to his precious Yoshii, he told himself. But getting married?! To someone that’s not his true love?!?! That was unspeakable! He would choose death over this!

He shook his head and sighed, at least he didn’t have a spouse yet… Yes! He was told to wait for one but who knows how long that would take? He dreaded the day his new spouse came along, living alone was nice and there were no disruptions throughout the day.

“Ah.. I hope my beautiful Yoshii-kun is my new bride, maybe I wouldn’t mind this situation so much..” 

No no! Toshimitsu Kubo, it’s time to move on. Yes, this would be the perfect opportunity to get over someone as idiotic and stupid and oblivious and terribly cute and perfect—

There was no way he could do it. He was being filled with conflicting thoughts and emotions, growing angrier and more frustrated as time went on until he finally screamed out in anguish, allowing his arms to fly up as he did so.

It wasn’t long before he was pulled from his moment when he heard someone next to him yell out in pain and had realized he just punched someone.

“Oh dear, I apologize for what i did just now, are you alright?”

[m1zuk1]

A sigh laced with melancholy escaped the lips of Mizuki as she went on with her normal business without giving her actions a second thought. As far as she was concerned, not much mattered right now bar keeping herself alive and well. Sure, her body was better than ever thanks to the Doctor's efforts however, her usually bright and optimistic personality was shot to high heaven, causing her to feel detached from the society building up around her. 

Basically, all she did was work and sleep and that suited her fine. Her quiet job in the library allowed her to compose her thoughts calmly and privately without voicing her concerns. The adolescent didn't want to bring down anyone around her after all. 

Returning to the public gardens, which were her favourite spot in the city, Mizuki began to wander around to look for a quiet spot to relax in peace. The girl decided upon venturing to the outskirts of the park in the hopes that she won't disturb any passer-bys or patrons. Nestling among the foliage there was comfortable as well.

Yes, she knew just the bench to vacate to as well. 

Well, that's what she thought until she saw a figure before her who seemed to be having a crisis of their own. Perhaps they were new and needed help? It...would be rude to ignore them, regardless of how she was feeling. 

Twirling a rose lock around her slender finger, she began to approach the person before a fist collided with her. Well damn. A squeal escaped her throat and tears started to stream down her face. Mizuki kept her head down to avoid eye contact with the stranger, but a familiar voice called out to her. Nah....it can't be.

  With her face still parallel to the ground, she answered in a small murmur, hiccuping every so often as she held back tears, "I-it's fine. And I'll be alright, it's just a little sore. But, do I know you from somewhere?" A nervous chuckle punctuated her question before she continued, "That can't be right though. I'm sorry."

[m1zuk1]

/faint clicks can be heard somewhere. by somewhere i mean under your legs./

As an odd sound invaded her senses, the adolescent began to flail her legs to prevent getting harmed with her eyelids slammed shut. It was safe to say that Mizuki's fight or flight instincts were on high alert. You never know what could happen after the events that followed previously and all.

Among the antics, her foot collided with a large object that was located underneath her being. Opening an azure eye, she peered down to see what had met an unfortunate fate to see a familiar sight.

"Tsuchiya....kun?" Well, that was a surprise.

Leia twirled a black makeshift braid which dangled from her frilly headband upon seeing a group of doctors huddled together stare her down from afar. She averted her gaze once they had noticed her staring back, directing it towards the floor instead.

Despite the cheerfulness and enthusiasm which she had displayed over the past couple of weeks, Leia still can’t hide the overwhelming feeling of worry with each passing day as none of her comrades were yet to awake or arrive. It didn’t help that she was just told that she saved from a nuclear bomb explosion. What did that mean? That only her was rescued from that explosion? What about her parents? Her friends? Everyone back in Lu Rondo? And most importantly…

“…Jude”.

The mere utterance of his name was enough to almost make her cry. But that was wrong wasn’t it? Jude…and everyone else, they had taught her that a sad face didn’t suit her; that a smile best suited her. 

With that thought engraved in her memory, Leia strode forward with a newfound spring in her step. Now was the time to be strong. 

“H-hello. It’s a…pleasure to meet you.”

A bright smile graced the brunette’s features upon seeing a pink haired girl greet her. Yes this is just what she needed, making friends was just what she needed.    ” Hello! I’m Leia Rolando, nice to meet you!”. She took the other girl’s free hand and shook them vigorously. Pretty forward of her but that’s just how she is, or perhaps this was just a way for her to cope with the situation. 

” It’s such a nice day out today huh? And there are so many other people waking up as well”. This as the only thing she could do right now…stay optimistic no matter what happens. Look on the bright side of things…and hope. 

[m1zuk1]

A wave of relief washed over the pinkette upon witnessing the person who responded to her somewhat distressed greeting which caused her to let down her guard. Nodding her head fervently whilst wiping away her tears at the same time, Mizuki mirrored the other's smile wholeheartedly. First impressions matter and this was certainly a good one. Pushing a blush strand behind her eye she replied chirply, "Leia huh? That's such a lovely name! I'm Mizuki Himeji." Her introduction was abruptly stopped as her hand was grabbed by the other in a friendly manner, giggling whilst being jostled. "What an energic girl!" was all the adolescent could think. 

"Ah yes, it's rather lovely here, although....the artificial lighting doesn't quite match up." Mizuki paused momentarily as she contemplated the circumstance before shaking her head to snap out of her despair, "But I guess I shouldn't be ungrateful! I'm alive at least, and yes, like you said, other's are joining us so we won't be lonely!" 

Perhaps her new acquaintance could become a friend. All she wanted was to be surrounded by smiling faces once again and she'll stop at nothing to make everyone around her happy. Grinning, she skipped lightly in front and waved her hand to the girl in the hopes she'll follow. "I-I know we just met, but would you care to get some tea with me? It'll-....it'll be my treat!" 

  The brunette seemed like a lovely person, just like her friends back at the academy, plus she was most likely in the same boat. Birds of a feather is a phrase that came to the girl's mind. Surely their meeting could prove to be a delight.

His silence was given only to listen to her response, wondering what words she would say next? Would her words be covered in a type of sadness from the tears that had stained her face from moments ago? Or would they be driven with hate, because of the lack of luck she had been burdened with. Staying in such a place alone, with people that hardly new each other. It was a era of change, to do new things and even a fresh start for one to change their life completely around. Truly looking at one another, a person couldn’t trust everything a person said. A new life it was, and how far people took it would never be known by another. Lilac hues grown attached to that facade she mustered upon herself in that sadness, though it had changed moments later. Because of why? Who ever would know, a smile had come upon her features showing something of a different emotion.

He couldn’t place his finger upon it, but the child seemed to differ from other’s. Such a quick change, many people wouldn’t be able to regain their bearings; falling back into that dark pit of sadness. More so as if an umbrella covered their torn word, not allowing the sun to shine. They would be kept neatly under that, remaining the same. Though, this was her way of thinking and many people could improve by her method if they allowed it. Blinking, the brunette allowed his eyes to fall down to her smile. Why did humans allow that emotion to show? It would only become broken moments later. But they faced the consequences of allowing emotions to take over who they were. “I’ve studied many,” and hardly did any of them have such thoughts as that.

“This is the first I have heard something like that, why do you believe so?”

But as he listened, it seemed that she had said very uncommon words. The Doctor was use to people denying his company for the sake of their own lives, even those would be wary of coming towards the Infirmary within St. PigeoNations. “Sadly, I haven’t scouted much of the area. My mind was placed on more different matters than knowing this place more.”

With a slight shake of his head, had he forced a chuckle and never to deny her invitation. If her mood could change by the simple of wonders, was she possibly trusting the brunette? Truly he wouldn’t let this small chance waver, the things he could do once she came to an opinion on the male. “Hohoho, I agree.” He smiled, a lie coming from his mouth with the choice. Being with someone through anything was pointless, it would all end to an unfavored death. When would humans learn to look for themselves and never another.

“A pleasure to meet you, Miss Himeji. My name is Shuu Iwamine.” A hand brought out in order to settle their meeting in a shake.

[m1zuk1]

"Why do I believe so?" The female tilted her head at the sudden question. To be honest, she had not really thought about her answer since it was just an off the cuff remark. "Why one would act shy...? Hmm. Well, after such an experience as we've had, most would become more recluse and allow for grieving. However, we all have to land on our feet and as I said, find our bearings! That...was what you were asking right?"

Fear started to cloud the girl's mind upon the acceptance of her offer to explore their new abode together. It would be a lie to say that she actually wished that he would say yes, considering the vibes she was getting from her companion. She pinned her hopes on a polite dismissal but of course she wouldn't be that lucky.  Warning bells continued to chime when her eyes landed on the extended hand that sought her own. Mizuki knew better than to judge book by its cover, looking at the many friends she made at the academy. So after a moment of hesitation, her small hand reached out to meet his. 

"Please, Mister Iwamine! There's no need to be so formal. Feel free to call me Mizuki." The girl chirped happily to disguise her true feelings to deter any offence that she might possibly cause. For all she knew, Shuu could be a nice person underneath the surface, right? Allowing a small sigh to escape her lips, she beamed at the brunette and skipped a few steps ahead of him. "Shall we go?"

Meandering aimlessly, she chose to make idle chit chat with the man in an attempt to break through his harsh exterior. Whether or not she succeeded was another thing since he looked like a tough nut to crack, but Mizuki was famed for her heart-warming determination so she'll certainly give it a good shot.

"So, looking at your attire, I'm guessing you're a doctor, right? You must be quite outgoing then since you must have to deal with all manners of people?"

[m1zuk1]

What were the odds of the whole humanity dying out just like that, it was something known to happen by the stupidity of humans. It was why Shuu disliked them but they were always the best subjects to study. Their mindsets were abit low in level, but how their bodies functioned and even how their organs would supply many things for them to live was rather interesting. But usually and normally only one part of the body caught Shuu’s attention than most. How long had it been since he stuck his scalpel into someone, other than it being Yuuya. The idiotic Fantail wasn’t even a test subject, just a fallen pawn that he didn’t need anymore.

Hands pushed into his lab coat’s pocket as violet hues made way pass the people he had to get along with, people that he had to study and even get use to. In St. PigeoNations; he knew every student that was to come and to go. The halls were thick with different faces but he always remembered the one’s that exciting him. Who made his hand twitch just to cut open their body and do an autopsy.

Was it that feeling of longing? How much he had missed hearing the screams of torture, the one’s who felt the pain and could do nothing about it. The spilling of their blood all over his wardrobe and even his own hands, the smell building into a burning sensation within the nose. Causing panic and a twisting turn within the bowels, but only an adrenaline rush to the doctor. A smile slowly placing itself onto his features and a merry, ‘Hohoho’ being added with it.

The thoughts delighted Shuu to no end, the avian allowing his mood to take flight it seemed. Who would be able to make him this ecstatic, allowing him to carve into their very bodies? With many steps had he been spoken to out of the blue, nothing but a child that held some inner difficulties. It seemed their face had been lined with liquid, a production that only the body could make in such a way. Even a slightly flustered face, but she remained calm in her words.

“A pleasure.” He spoke, was it common for people just to speak to other’s in such a way. Well, there were those who wanted to be friendly. How mildly amusing, had the other gone through something. It was best for the male to not ask and only await to see what information she was willing to give. “Are you always this shy, that stutter in your voice.”

[m1zuk1]

At least she made contact with someone. That was a large step in the right direction and she hoped desperately that it would bloom into something better, however there was something about the man she had just greeted that was odd. The way he carried himself made alarm bells blare in her mind. Mizuki always took pride in the fact that she never discriminated against her fellow man for the way they look and act, but it took a lot of courage to prevent herself from dropping the conversation and running in the opposite direction. As she started to wring her hands in front of her body, the girl tried to shake these unpleasant thoughts out. Her instincts could be fooling her like that have in the past. The man might just be an eccentric. Yeah. That's it. Exhaling softly, she smiled brighter at her acquaintance, feeling relieved to talk to another person.

"Not all the time! I'm just...what's the phrase? Trying to find my bearings! Most would act in the same way, I'd like to think!" Her coral hair bounced as a nod punctuated her sentence. The teenager knew better than to antagonise others in a situation like this, so Mizuki was more than willing to remain as she was for the time being. This time round, her gaze broke away to quickly analyse the male's appearance. Long hair. Well, that was rather common so that wasn't something to take note of. Secondly, a crisp white lab coat. Well that would suggest that he's a scientist or in the medical profession. This feature caused her to sigh happily again because if he was in the later career, he must be a rather friendly person to be a doctor. Due to her ill health, she had come across many in her life and was yet to find someone disagreeable. 

Things were certainly looking up!

  "Say, have you looked around the entire area yet? If you wish, you can come along with me! It's better to discover a new environment with a companion, wouldn't you agree?" Her previous nerves and sadness were certainly a thing of the past now that she had someone to distract her from her self destructive thoughts. If her friends from Fumizuki were here, they would tell her to cheer up instantly and the pinkette wished to respect them even whilst she was here and they were....well, you know. 

"Oh gosh. How rude of me! My name is Mizuki Himeji. What's yours?"

[m1zuk1]

Incipient [Introduction/Open]

Tears were staining Mizuki's fair skin after everything about her new circumstances sunk in. Well, who could blame her? Her previously calm life had been yanked from her grasp and she was thrust into this new environment without her dear friends or family by her side. Her timid personality often caused her problems in social situations and it usually took a friendly nudge by those she was acquainted with to speak to new people. All she wanted to do was curl up and sleep away her pain.

However, that would be running away, wouldn't it? 

Wiping her cobalt eyes softly, the teenager mustered a new found determination to make the best of the situation. Although she didn't know what happened, the scientist must have been telling the truth. Why else would he put her and others here? In fact, she was grateful that he chose her to live. Mizuki's thoughts went back to her life before once again, and promised everyone she knew that she would live on for them. It was the least she could do.

Time to make the first step. The pinkette put on her shoes and ventured out into the city that was her new abode. The strange sights and smells flooded in as she explored the area that surrounded her apartment. Everything seemed to be fairly normal, and there were plenty of amenities to satisfy her completely which caused her to breath a sigh of relief. However, there was one thing that could never be placed here.

The Sun.

Twirling a rose lock, she gazed up at the ceiling of this new world. Once again, tears welled up in her eyes as she longed for it's radiance and warmth. Mizuki closed her eyes to imagine its light in a vain attempt to cure her upset, but this was promptly disrupted as she heard footsteps approaching her. Abruptly, she turned to the being and offered them a faltering smile. It was time to be strong.

  "H-hello. It's a...pleasure to meet you."
