Game 12 - Parallel Start

[arsgoetia]

It's a beautiful day in Virginia Beach, which is where your plane takes you. You have an itinerary with directions to a private ferry terminal, a quite luxurious to-do that takes you out onto the Atlantic. They say it's to be an hour long trip out to Ariel Island, so you have some time to wander around the boat (not terribly exciting) or see if there are any familiar faces on board . . .

[Itachi, Kazuki, Shuri & Robin start here ♥]

Haahhhhh, they're accommodating us pretty well, aren't they...?? ♥

[virtuallyroyalty]

Why is it people involved with demons turn out to be super rich?

[bestest]

... Well you can probably contract with demons for money so...

It's better than having to swim. Hello, Shuri.

[bestest]

There's no way I would come if I had to swim all the way there! ...Probably. Hi...

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ What if I am dangerously bending over the ships railing enjoying the sea breeze and view though!! ]

Awesommeeee~

[fraternalorders]

...Be careful.

[virtuallyroyalty]

I'll be fine~ Hi! Long time no see!

[troublebrewing]

[up on deck, letting her hair down so it can fly in the breeze]

[virtuallyroyalty]

Robiiiiiinnnnnn~!

[ Guess who is coming to hug you! ]

[troublebrewing]

Kazuki!

[hugs]

[fraternalorders]

[not too interested in exploring the boat, but is just kind of hanging out quietly, watching the water]

[troublebrewing]

It's strange to be going on a trip like this voluntarily, isn't it?

[fraternalorders]

A little, though I think I prefer it.

[boatsights]

I don't like boats . . .

[fraternalorders]

I'm not especially fond of them, either.

[there is a teenaged boy lurking near one of the railings, eying the ocean SUPER SUSPICIOUSLY]

[he looks a little older than the last time most of you saw him—time passes, how about that?]

[virtuallyroyalty]

[ WHO'D HAVE THOUGHT ]

[ Kazuki... spends a minute trying to place him... ]

Oh! You're... uh... M... it starts with 'M'...

[troublebrewing]

[approaching]

Do you see anything down there?

[bestest]

Oh...

[vaguely familiar?? ????]

Hi~?

[arsgoetia]

The trip is over quite soon, and as the crew make the call for passengers to prepare to depart, a woman in her early thirties or so joins Madison on the deck, speaking to him quietly for a moment. She has dark hair cut with heavy bangs and pinned back smartly at the back of her head, and is wearing a neat red sundress and heeled sandals. Her arms are wrapped around a briefcase.

She turns to greet the others.

"My name is Mina Julian," she says, giving a nod to Itachi and Robin. "I already know Itachi and Robin well, of course, but I believe this is the first time I've made your acquaintance," she nods to Kazuki. "And I do not know if Mr. Oak will remember me." She has, perhaps, an accurate assessment of Shuri's memory for unimportant faces.

"I am a secretary at the St. Dominic's Boy's School. Mr. Prewett has asked me to accompany you all as Madison's guardian, as well as providing any other assistance you might need."

[virtuallyroyalty]

Well.

Cool! Nice to meet you. I'm Kazuki Naruse, but it sounds like you know that.

[bestest]

[PRETTY ACCURATE]

Oh... This has to do with that school then??

[troublebrewing]

Oh... that's very kind of you.

[fraternalorders]

It's appreciated.
