[Action - Morning]

[It's around mid-morning on the 27th when the Malnosso finally decided to drop Alexei back into Luceti. They weren't nice enough to at least drop him in his nice, warm, comfy bed and instead drops him on the cherry blossom tree near where Miyabi lives. Alexei hasn't realized where he had been dropped, because he was still unconscious, lying limply on the branches. ]

[Afternoon into Evening]

[Later on that day, once he found his way into town, Alexei can be seen at some of the shops, trying to locate his personal items and clothes. Those who know him will notice something was different with Alexei, he seem younger in appearance. He still had a few twigs and leaves after his ventures to get out of the tree and still rather disorientated about his situation. It just...sounded ridiculous what he was told. But the wings remind him that there is probably some truth to what he has been told. Damn wings need to stop hurting.

Alexei can be found in the general, clothing and smithy store during most of the afternoon. Closer to the evening, he'll be found in the Good Spirits Bar, looking around to have a chat with any of the residents here. So he may come up and grab your attention. When things quiet down, he'll bring out his journal, skimming absently through it...turning it over a few times.]

[Voice]

How does this journal actually work...? [The journal picks up his question that he didn't intentionally mean for anyone to hear. He was just thinking out loud.]

[OOC: Alexei has been temporarily de-aged to around his mid 20s. 24ish I put him down as. He doesn't remember his time in Luceti this time around, believing he is a "new feather". All responses will be done through destinedtofall and information about his young self can be found on there too.]

[Lee is in Good Spirits as well, chopsticking some ramen in a break from his mix of training and patrolling. But he sees this unfamiliar man looking through his journal and is intrigued.

Moments later, Lee seats himself next to the man and flips through his journal while peering over Alexei's shoulder at his own journal, trying to match the page.]

Have I missed important news?

[Action]

[destinedtofall]

What? [He looks to who had settled down beside him, looking him over for a moment.]

Oh...No, I was just looking over this journal. I can't quite figure out how they work.

[He says as he turns it over again. What source of power is it using? It reminded him of the blastia back home, but not at the same time.]

[Action]

[niceguypose]

Oh, I see! [He snaps his own journal shut.] The way they run, it is quite simply... a mystery!

[Action]

[destinedtofall]

[......]

That's exactly what I'm trying to solve. [He stops messing with the journal for a moment] But first, who may I ask, are you?

[Action]

[niceguypose]

[He stares intensely at the man, who seems fairly youthful himself.]

My name is Rock Lee! I am a ninja from Konoha. They know me as Konoha's Beautiful Green Wild Beast!

[Cross can't help but over hear this. Actually he's been wondering that himself for awhile. Magic and science is a great explanation on why it works. But it doesn't explain the how other than magic and science doing stuff together.]

Not really sure myself. I'm still trying to figure out the actual technology. But it's something between some high tech equipment and the use of magic.

Voice

[destinedtofall]

[What-...oh, right this thing records voices regardless of whether you want it to or not.]

It would be nice, if it came with the option to turn certain settings off. A shame I doubt the Malnosso would tell us if we asked.

[The sound of pages being turned can be heard.] Who is this that I'm speaking to by the way?

Re: Voice

[hero_of_smiles]

Maybe there is. I'm still looking in on it though.

[He's been wanting to disassemble his journal for weeks to look at it.]

But, my name's Cross, nice to meet you.

Voice

[destinedtofall]

Cross. Lieutenant--...Alexei, a pleasure speaking with you.

[He stops flipping the pages. He's still getting to used to not introducing himself by his full title. It didn't really matter in this place after all.] If I pulled a page from its binding, would it still work?

[You know, is Miyabi hadn't decided to go out today and shovel off the snow from her roof she may not have noticed the dangling arms and legs hanging a few meters overhead. Thankfully, though, she does see those limbs and sputters our of not-so-concealed shock, uttering a high-pitched squeak. G-Gods, what even--oh, it's a p-person...

Welp.]

H-Hey! Ah...oh gods, if they fall...

[Bah, how troublesome. She looks left and right, whistling for the Lucky Mallet as she bounces her way from her house's roof and onto the snow, close to the trunk of the tree. She's got to get up there before that person rolls over and off those branches, fffff. It'd be a nasty thing to wake up to - a split skull. 8|a;;]

[Action]

[destinedtofall]

[The cold nip of the winter's air will reach his senses soon enough and slowly bring his consciousness back. He could hear someone's voice, a bit muffled and distant as his senses were still a bit groggy. There was this pain he was starting to feel on his back as well, a sort of numbing pain. Did he sleep funny? And why was it so cold?

The branch creaks as Alexei slowly opened his eyes and found himself staring at the snow cover ground several feet away from him.]

...What...!? [His body shifted out of reflex, and he's going to freeze a moment later when he realizes that's a bad idea. He doesn't exactly have much space on this branch to move around. Oh god, how did even he stuck in this situation!?]

[Action]

[inkdrops]

[Nrrgh, damn, he's awake. At least Alexei's still in the tree though, and not splattered all over the snow. Miyabi huff and whistles again, louder this time, for the Lucky Mallet, which finally emerges from a snow bank and does its duty in sizing the girl up to her demure human size of only 4'10". It's better than 3/4 of an inch at least. This way, she can at least act as a better cushion if the man does fall and she has to, uh...yeah. "Catch" him. This way she won't die.

And it makes getting up on the tree a lot easier, too, if she's got to hurry. For now, however, Miyabi just stays on the ground and calls up. She can't see the finer details of the man she knows, so she really suspects nothing has really changed about him.]

Mister Alexei, are you okay?! Can you get down on your own? J-Just don't move too much and you should be okay. I can come get you if I have to!

[Action]

[destinedtofall]

[Who was that talking? And how did she know him?]

I'm...[This is really high up. He can kinda see someone just below him though. A girl?] I'm all right! I haven't quite worked out the getting down part though.

[killu]

If you're using it like that, doesn't it mean you've already figured it out?

voice;

[destinedtofall]

...Well, I understand what the journal is for, but not how it works the way it does.

voice;

[killu]

There's an instruction manual for stuff like that.

voice;

[destinedtofall]

Is there...? [He flipped the pages earlier and found nothing that looked like a manual. No wait.]

No, I mean how it functions. What is running it?

[action]

[savarin]

[Red's just relaxing, enjoying a cup of hot tea and some chicken wings after a hard day's work. A lot of people have gone by, but Red never really pays any mind to them... until Alexei shows up.]

[There's something familiar about this young man, Red ponders while chewing on one of the bones. Too familiar. He gets up from his seat at the bar, holding out a hand in an attempt at stopping Alexei.]

'Scuse me, but do I know you?

[action]

[destinedtofall]

[Oh what, someone is--

...What was he looking at? He's taken aback by Red's appearance and almost forgets the question.]

Uh....should I? [What are you?]

[action]

[savarin]

I think so! Swear I've seen ya around here before.

[He'll take off one glove - sauce stains, you see - and hold out his hand for young Alexei to shake.]

Anyway, the name's Red. You look kinda lost. Can I do anythin' to help?

[action]

[destinedtofall]

...

[He hesitates for a moment, but he'll slowly shake Red's hand in due time. He looked like a monster, but he could speak. Strange]

Alexei, and you're partially right. I've just arrive to this place, so I'm familiarizing myself of this village. I've been told a few things about this place, who runs it at least. [...And people telling him he's been here before.]

[action]

[pendantry]

[Hello you are loitering here at Thunderaxe Weaponry and Oddities Inc. Raven dislikes loitering. She puts up with it for a little while because the guy is confused-looking.]

What do you want?

[action]

[destinedtofall]

[But you have such a fascinating selection! He stops looking at whatever when Raven addresses him though.]

Oh, I'm just looking for my sword. Someone told me things from home tend to show up separately and at these shops...

[action]

[pendantry]

It might be here. [This isn't the time for new people but...he only looks distantly familiar.] What does it look like?

[action]

[destinedtofall]

It's a blade of the Imperial Knights. [And he's going to describe the blade here.]

I know it's probably difficult to tell since it looks like a common sword, but the hilt should give it away.
