[There's some irritated grumbling going on. Shuffle. Grumble. Shifting through leaves. Grumble. KICKING A TREE-]

Ow!

[... Grumble.

And now HI LUCETI, YOU'RE NOW SEEING THE BOTTOM OF SOMEONE'S FOOT. But it lifts up quickly, and in its place is a teenaged boy with short, scraggly red hair and green eyes staring curiously down at the journal. Aaand then it morphs an annoyed face.]

Man, this isn't even my journal... And where the hell did my shirt go?

[The person disappears and gives yet another grumble as he searches through some leaves... Then seems to resolve to find his way to the village, as his footsteps start to grow fainter and fainter. He may not know it, but he's going in the completely wrong direction of where he's supposed to go.]

[...Oh, no you did not. Miyabi stops hopping and gawks at who she thought was Asch before her aura turned a soft shade of red. Calm...calm... Maybe they just messed with his head. Yes, that had to be it. Caaalm~]

I'm not a--! ...It's me, Miyabi! Bah, those idiot Malnosso people must have done something to you, then. [She sighs and hops right onto one of his legs. Sup, Luke.] Do you remember anything at all?

[OH DUDE IT CHANGED COLORS SWEET. And it's yelling at him. He's not very impressed, but he's mostly just really confused.]

... What? Uh... [This is a REALLY LONG SHOT, but...] Are you talking about Asch?

[I WILL IMPRESS A CHERRY BOMB RIGHT UP YOUR--wait. Miyabi blinks and stares directly at Luke. What was he talking about? Did Asch have some kind of stupid, younger twin brother or something?]

...You're not Asch?

[WHY YES HE DOES.]

N-No... I'm Luke.

[Well, that explains a lot.]

Luke? [...] O-Oh, my! I-I'm so very sorry!! I didn't mean to act so rudely toward you! Uhm...a-are you Master Asch's brother? I'm Miyabi, by the way. Or Miya, whichever you prefer.

[And she bows slightly, even if Luke will have to squint to see it.]

Miyabi...? [Luke pauses, then looks away to the side. fff, brother.] No... Not really. It's complicated.

Yes, that's right. I-It means 'elegance' where I'm from... [Look, she's turning pink now! Miyabi never really thought her name fit her at all. BUT ANYWAY.] Ah, I see... Then that's fine. Uhm, you must be confused, then, if you just got here. I know this might sound a little crazy, but I'll try to explain, okay?

Basically, you've been taken away from your world, along with everyone else who lives here, by these terrible people called the Malnosso. No one knows how to break free just yet, but there are people still looking into it, I think! Uhm...the wings are given to everyone here--oh! Don't touch or poke them too hard, or it'll hurt a lot. I-If one of them is damaged, it'll hurt very much. I-If both are removed...you'll die. [She fidgets nervously, and presses on.] About every month, those idiot Malnosso run crazy experiments on all of us for whatever reason.

Th-There should be a guide in your journal somewhere. It should explain a lot better than me, heh...

[Yeaaah she's not very elegant. But he'll keep that to himself in favor of listening to her.

And making this face.]

[You've never seen her paint before, Luke. Or fight for real. There's a definite grace and flair she uses when wielding her brush as well as her sword.

And she's noticing that look.]

I-I know it's very hard to believe, but...I promise it's all very true! Uhm...you should have a journal, too. There's a guide in there about everything and more. I can find it for you if you open it for me.

[Luke doesn't make a verbal response - well, except for that strangled, almost panicked sound as he scrambles to grab that journal he passed up and flip through it as fast as he can. How could he be stuck on another planet? Did he do something wrong? Did someone finally decide to get rid of him? Oh god where is everyone?!

Sorry, Miyabi, that was a bit of an overload for someone with a child's mind.]

[Miyabi scurries away from him as well, expecting to get trampled when Luke moved so suddenly. She saw how panicked he looked and felt just awful for being the cause of it. Once Luke stopped squirming so much, the little poncle hopped a little closer.]

I-I very sorry... Are you okay? I-I know it's hard to understand, and scary, but...I think your friends are here. I-I know Master Asch is! If you want, I-I can take you to him. You can at least get out of the forest.

A-Asch?!

[Luke stops his shuffling and looks back at the little... firefly girl. Gah, his hands are shaking; he grips the journal harder to make them stop.]

... I don't think he wants to see me. Do you know if anyone else is here?

[MAKE HER FEEL WORSE. Miyabi really wishes she could calm him better, since he was obviously so upset, but being so small, it'd be hard to just give him a reassuring hug.]

Uhm...y-yes. I've spoken to Asch before. And, ah...I'm not sure. I don't know where everyone's from. [She looks down, but then has an idea, her golden aura lighting up.] Oh, I know! Can I borrow your journal for a little bit? Just lay it open on the ground and I'll paint the people I know's faces. You tell me if you recognize any of them, okay?

[What, that little thing can paint? With a teeny tiny brush or something? That's clearly what his face is saying, but at this point, he'd accept any sort of help. So, after some hesitation, he sets the journal down.]

Okay...

[Yes, she can paint! And you're be surprised by how good she really is, though she's say otherwise constantly. Once the journal is set in front of her, Miyabi takes the brush tip of her sword and begins to draw, sliding the handle , spinning, stepping over lines, and--it almost looked like she was dancing, not painting. Her eyes were downcast, and she didn't make a sound, concentrating on each face as she remembered them.

They weren't anything too fancy, but pretty darn good. Among the people she painted, a few might stick out. Obviously Asch, Anise, and Guy were there, though the latter looked a bit different. Miyabi had only spoken face to face with him once, so her memory wasn't as good of the blondie.]

There. That's not eveyone I know, but I ran out of room. Just point to the ones you recognize, but don't smudge it. The ink's still wet.

[Luke watched her as if he were transfixed by her movements. Wow... She's really good. And here all Luke can draw are stick figures. As the faces are drawn, Luke starts to slump a bit as he sees stranger after stranger... but then perks up once he sees Anise. And then... Is that supposed to be Guy?

Once she's finished, Luke can't help but smile a little. Watching her paint calmed his nerves a bit.]

Heh, I think I see where your name comes from now. [Then, he'll point.] That's Anise and... Guy? I know them!

[Wow, what a smile. Miyabi tilts her head, and wonders if Asch looks like that when he smiles. ...If he smiles. Either way, the ponclet smiles right back up at Luke, glad he seemed a bit better.]

Eh...hehe, thank you very much, Master Luke. [And she'll look to the faces he's pointing at, hopping up and down excitedly.] Yes, I know them too! Well, I've only met Guy once. They're both here, you can contact them on the journal! It can record your voice and stuff, and you can even make it private for just them to hear, too.

[Aaand she's gonna show him how to to all that, too. |D What a helpful bug.]
