[ Sorey isn't much for understanding the more complicated points of economies — he's only been in human society for a short period of his life, though he at least understands the basics of buying things and such. But at least he knows he can agree on the last part. ]

Yeah. It sounds like everyone here is gonna need some time to figure out what's going on ... [ Mmnn. ] But if you ever need someone's help for something in the future, you can ask me. I wanna help everyone as much as I can.

[ He wants to be useful!! And he imagines this situation will require teamwork on their part. ]

[yourfononsarewhack]

Oh? [He arcs an eyebrow, with a smirk.] And how am I to ask you when you haven't provided a name? A list of basic skills beyond a vague desire to help would also be helpful.

[Teamwork is a very important thing. ...And hassling potential teammates is apparently very important to Jade.]

[unwaverings]

[ ... Oops. Well Sorey is genuinely sorry about forgetting to introduce himself!! And being vague ... ]

Aah, sorry about that! My name's Sorey. [ And how does he explain his skills ... If the Seraphim are here, too, then he can do a lot more than just basic fighting, but he shouldn't go around saying he can fuse with Seraphim and become abnormally powerful. Sooo ... ] And I can fight, if you need that. I use a sword.

[ He'd show him, but it's kind of missing right now. ]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[It's okay, Jade's just doing his job of hassling protags.]

I see. That information is a bit more useful. I'm sure that you'll find no shortage of fellow sword wielders to get along with in the city.

Well met, Sorey. My name is Jade Curtiss. [He adjusts the name badge on his lab coat.]

[unwaverings]

[ Ah, that's good. The more people who can fight here, the better — that's more people to protect anyone who can't, really. ]

Are there a lot of others here who can fight?

[ In general, really. ]

And it's nice to meet you, Jade.

[yourfononsarewhack]

My, there's very many. [He gives a confident smirk.] Of course, there's also many who don't have much in the way of formal training...

[unwaverings]

[ —Ah. Would Sorey fall under that category? Oops.

Looking slightly embarrassed. ]

I can use a sword, but I guess I wasn't taught it formally or anything ... Does that mean me, then?

[ He just sort of practiced with Mikleo throughout his childhood ... At least he has a lot of experience with it, though! And ... another very special ability that's far more powerful than just using a sword, but — ]

[yourfononsarewhack]

If you're that uncertain, than I believe you've answered your own question. [He says with a teasing shrug.]

Luckily, I'm sure that you'll find no shortage of more experienced swordsman around who can properly train you.

[unwaverings]

Ah, really? Do you think they'll be open to that?

[ Being able to train someone and wanting to are different, after all. While he has plenty of experience with his sword, he can never know too much! Sorey is the type to love learning, of course, and new moves falls under that! ]

[yourfononsarewhack]

I don't happen to be able to read people's minds. You'll have to ask them yourself.

But I suppose that it is fairly likely...

[unwaverings]

[ ... Ah. That's true. ]

Then I will! Aah, I wonder what kind of things the people here can teach me ...

[ He's a little excited at the idea of it, honestly. Learning is something he loves to do ... (And honing his skills with a sword might be a good idea here, seeing as he can't be sure whether the Seraphim are here ...) ]

[yourfononsarewhack]

My, you're quite the excitable one. [It looks like a lot of his trolling may go over this boy's head. Oh well. It's an amusing sight at least.]

You'll only find out by asking around for yourself.

[unwaverings]

You think?

[ He is excited right now ...

But sorry, Jade. He's not as easy as the rest of your friends are to troll. ]

Then I'll try asking around when I get out of here! [ A pause. ] However I do that ...

[ Not entirely sure where "here" is, other than some alien hospital. ]

[yourfononsarewhack]

[Maybe he'll find a way someday...]

Yes. I don't think that many would be excited so easily so soon after waking up in an alien hospital and conversing with a stranger.

[He shrugs.]

Finding a way out must seem like quite the puzzle. [Maybe he's tired of being helpful.]

[unwaverings]

[ Surely he will.

But, ah. ] Is that ... weird? This is just how I am ...

[ Sorey is just Sorey. An excitable child who can make the best of things. ]

Aah, it kind of is ... There's gotta be a door somewhere I can leave through, right?

[yourfononsarewhack]

That doesn't make it less unusual, you know. [He shakes his head softly.]

Perhaps there is, but perhaps there isn't. Exits can be quite unorthodox within ViViD.

[unwaverings]

[ Sorey doesn't think it's weird ... though he guesses he has been reacted to weirdly in the past for being excited at odd times. He can't help it, okay.

He's not sure how to respond, though, so he'll just go ahead and focus on Jade's last statement! ]

Hmm, then we'll just have to look for one, right? There can't not be an exit!
