Seventeenth Duel [Text/Voice Post, Japanese]

[to_blossom]

[There is a soft hiss along with the sound of a bandage being peeled off. Aged adhesive is a bastard.]

...looks like it's almost gone.

[She shrugs part of her jacket back on, giving it a light tug at the sleeve.] ...Mm? Oh man... Maybe I should try to learn how to sew. It's not like I'm going to be able to find a replacement uniform in this place.

[Sigh] Um... Hikaru, Kaoru... I'm really sorry if I let you both down. I ended up getting lost in that weird fog from before. That and... ["...I really should have asked for more details on the perp."] Well, I just messed up. Let me know if I can ever make it up to you, okay? It's the least I can do.

loyal_inferno? How are you feeling? I hope that you were able to find your friends again after that whole mess. ...You're really not that bad a fighter either. [She lets out a short laugh.]

What else...

[There's an audible click as she starts to flip through old posts.] The exploring team...

[Another click, followed by an uneccessarily long pause compliments of Rolo's Geass.]

AHHHHH!

[[ooc Oh, she saw what you did there, crystal_eyed. Also, possibly backdated if this falls out of the range of the Geass on the second day. ]]

I'm not sure which one is more common, the literal or figurative shocks...

Are you sure you'll be alright, Miss..?

[Oh, she caught that, Sanji. It gets a little laugh out of her.]

Ah. It's Utena. Tenjou Utena.

[Score! Making ladies laugh always counts as a success.]

A pleasure to meet you, Miss Utena!♥ My name is Sanji.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Nice to meet you!

Though... you don't have to be so formal. Just Utena is fine with me.

[baratiesbest.livejournal.com]

Well... if you insist.

Hey, haven't I seen you around..? You wouldn't happen to live on Gohl, do you?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

I do. That kind of formality doesn't suit me is all.

Mm? Yeah, I do. ...Are you one of the people living in the other row house?

[baratiesbest.livejournal.com]

I am! Guess that makes us neighbors, huh?

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

I guess it does!

I'm a little embarrassed by the late introduction, but... this is really crazy place like that.

[baratiesbest.livejournal.com]

You could say that again~! I suppose it's not that strange though, I'm down by the Northern Lights most of the time.

Still, it's a shame that I wasn't able to meet you until now~!♥

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Really? Do you work over there like Umi?

Ha ha! Don't worry about it! I mean, better late than never, right?

[baratiesbest.livejournal.com]

I do! I'm one of the chefs - if you'd like to come down sometime I'd love to treat you to a meal!

Ah, so you know Miss Umi?

Couldn't agree more~!

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Heeeh... A chef, huh? Maybe I'll take you up on that.

Yeah. She's my sword fighting teacher here. ...or maybe I should call her my fencing teacher. I never thought that I'd have to rely on something like that here, but... it's really been a big help! She's a tough sparring partner too.

[baratiesbest.livejournal.com]

Please do, you won't be disappointed~!

Really? So you use a sword as well, M-... Utena? Seems like there's quite a few of you around here!

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Heh. I'll hold you to that.

Sort of. I guess... I just got in the habit of using one back home.
But I don't usually like swords, or needless fighting. I'm an amateur.
