001 ▒ [action→voice] ▒ new perspective

[Hello Luceti.

On the branch of a tree somewhere in the forest, a raven haired boy lounges fearlessly, almost carelessly. He's already replaced the white pants with his own attire, though regrettably, his trinkets and teapot are no where to be found.

In his lap lies the open journal. He'd been studying it for the past half hour, trying to figure out what it's for, and only managed to gather that it is indeed a journal of some sort.

Crow's relatively calm about the new attachments to his body, but what's really bugging him is that the last thing he remembers--

--well.

The last thing he remembers is the sound of a certain human's voice. He smiles distantly as he taps the journal, not finding it strange at all to talk to himself.]

So what, this is what happens when you die? Laaame.

[Today Seto has been walking around the village, meeting new people and just taking a nice tour really. But as soon as he hears Crow's voice, he stops completely, even his heart feels as if it stopped for a moment.

There was no way...Was there? Seto doesn't risk the chance and quickly opens his journal, his hands shaking as he does]

C-Crow?! I-Is that you?!

[There is one other person who mills about in the forest a lot, since the village is pretty small and he's more used to being in really big places. He hasn't realized it's still New Feather season, so he wasn't really expecting there to be any other people.

...Overhearing Crow doesn't help since he reacts before he can stop himself.]

What?

[Crow thinks he's hearing things at first--but really, is he even capable of an imagination? Let alone an overactive one.

He realizes that the familiar voice is coming from the book in his lap, and whether that makes any sense at all or not, he's got nothing to lose by assuming.]

Seto?

[Seto takes a moment to breathe again, he was holding his breath for a while there. How is Crow here? He did bury him himself, didn't he? Crow died in his arms...right? In either case, just hearing his voice makes him happy.

His voice starts to crack a little as tears form in his eyes]

C-Crow...it is you.

[At the sound of life in the area, Crow goes silently still. This is the first person who's chanced upon his little hiding spot, so he's watching very intently him from above.]

[He's....staring back. What do.]

[Crow can almost hear Seto tearing up. What's he so upset about?]

Looks like you recognized me again. Heh.

[Wince.]

Yeah, it's me.

[He manages to let out a slight laugh at that, though he's crying now]

Y-Yeah... [He takes another deep breath to relax himself, serious business time] W-Where are you, Crow? I'll come find you.

[Blink.]

What're you staring at?

[Pardon him, he's not the greatest with first impressions.]

[He wants to tell Seto to stop that crying. Nice try with the laughter, but Crow knows better.]

Dunno. I've been sitting in a tree since I came to.

[The question of where he is is a little less important than why he's not still shutdown somewhere. It's possible that someone found him and changed his batteries... or whatever it was that occurred. Maybe they were recharged or something.]

[The question of how Crow is alive is still nagging at Seto's mind, but finding him first is way more important.]

In a tree...What do you see around you? Can you hear people or water? [He's pretty determined to try and find him as fast as possible]

There are people here? As in, more humans?

[It's a big change from a post-apocalyptic Japan, okay. But not to detract too far from the point,]

I hear water though, might be a river nearby. Where are you? Maybe I can find you first!

[With that, he hops off of the branch with the white pants folded under his arm and the journal in hand.]

[He chuckles a bit, remembering when Crow said something like that when they first met] Yeah! There are a lot of people here, a whole village!

River, got it. [Before he starts walking, he blinks] Well I'm at the plaza in the village right now...

Urm. You, I guess.

[bah]

You're not dead.

Huh. Didn't your mom ever teach you that staring's rude?

You don't say? I'm pretty sure I remember saying my 'last words' not too long ago.

[...His mom ever really taught him anything unless "fear of her" counts.]

Wh-what's it to you?

[He hops down from the branch with ease, landing on one knee and then standing up.]

I'm not on display here.

[Even as he says this, he's examining the stranger curiously.]

[Plaza in the village, huh? He's not particularly excited about a whole village full of people, to be honest, but if it makes Seto happy...]

I'll walk along the river. Maybe we can meet halfway?

It's not you're being any better.

[...Edges away slightly...]

I'm allowed to stare. Didn't have a mother to teach me manners.

[He'll be behind you the minute you try to run, jsyk.]

What's your name?

Okay! I'll be there in a second!

[And off he goes, he's not running...well he kinda is. He is pretty excited to see his best friend again. Especially after what he last went through with him]

It's not an excuse.

[At least he's not running! ...Yet.]

I'm Marcell.

This place is often

[pause]

dramatic. I think that's a good way to describe it.
