I. [video/action for Mahogany]

[springoflife]

[It's not exactly a nice day to be out, be even so, there's a girl in a long, white dress standing in the middle of Mahogany Town. She doesn't seem to care one a bit about the drizzle, not even trying to find any shelter. Instead, she watches the 'Gear with an indifferent look on her face for a long moment.]

... I woke up.

[... well. That was insightful. She appears to be completely serious, too.]

Why? What is this place?

[She makes a pause, biting her lip. Her expression changes to something more annoyed and somewhat... troubled?]

Medea...

I want her back.

[And with this firm statement, the feed ends.]

Of course not. It's human nature to want to help out another person.

[springoflife]

Is that so?

Caring for someone will only cause you pain in return...

It hurts sometimes, yeah... But it's still worth it. I'd rather trust others and get hurt than trust no one and be all alone.

[She falls silent for a moment, supposedly contemplating what he said... Only to come with the following conclusion:]

You're weird.

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

It's good to step away from the crowd!

[springoflife]

[There's a slight, barely visible eyebrow-raise on her part.]

How is being weird good?

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Because you're being yourself. Everyone's different in a way. If someone doesn't like that, then screw them.

... How do you know what it means to "be yourself"?

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Because I do it everyday. I don't put up a front or fake my personality in front of others to be more well liked.

[Chidori won't admit it, but Keiichi has somewhat sparked her interest.]

You seem to understand yourself very well.

[He'll laugh a bit.] Hehe... I wouldn't be surrounded by lots of great friends if I didn't.

...

Aren't you afraid?

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Why should I be afraid of a cute girl?

[Video]

[springoflife]

[DEADPAN.]

Afraid that your time with your friends may come to an end.

[pfffft]

... I've already been through that... More times than I can remember. But friendship isn't something that can be broken easily. It's not fickle like that. That's why I always treasure as much time as I can whenever I spend it with my friends. Those moments are irreplaceable.

... What's your name?

[Wow, Keiichi. Congratulations, you've made her interested in you enough to ask for your name. On your first meeting. Consider yourself an amazing person.]

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Oh... I'm Keiichi. Keiichi Maebara. Yourself?

[Ohoho :>! Keiichi does have maxed out charisma on his stats.]

[Video]

[springoflife]

Keiichi Maebara... I'll remember it.

... Chidori.

[It shows.]

[Video]

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

I'll remember yours too! [A beat.] This means that you'll be getting out of the rain now, yeah?

[Video]

[springoflife]

[Don't push your luck when talking to her.]

I'll do as I please.

[youhavemybat.livejournal.com]

Shoot. It was worth a shot.
