[Filtered to Shiki || 100% Unhackable]

Shiki... You have known Minato for a long while, right? Can... Can we talk in private about something?

[What is he doing? What is he doing? But Shiki's the only one he can think of to ask to... Will it serve for anything? He's not sure. He doesn't know but... He needs to talk with someone and he can only think of her right now.]

[Filtered to Hughes & Adell || 100% Unhackable]

Sorry to bother you both but, can I talk with you? There's been something in my mind lately and I would like your opinions on the matter.

[Adell because he has been here for longer and is the leader of the Blue Rogues. Hughes because he trusts the man's opinion and is an adult and the closest thing to his father he has here. Right now, Keiichi would love to be able to have his father around to ask him.]

[Filtered from Minato Arisato & Haruhi Suzumiya || 50% Unhackable]

[This is a filter he fails with, he doesn't want to hide from Minato but... He really can't bring himself to face him now. So he tries to do a filter and ends doing a shitty job because he can't concentrate on it. Haruhi... Gets added only because of the subject he's going to bring up.]

So, New Feathers, are you guys settling in? Anyone needs help with anything? My name's Keiichi Maebara and if I can I wouldn't mind to help you guys. I hope you're not having too much of a rough time getting used to this place.

For the rest, anyone planning anything for White Day? Or did the experiment screw up with the will to do anything about it?

[Once he sets off the messages, Keiichi will take up to wander around the village. He hasn't dropped by Minato's house since he met Junpei yesterday, he just doesn't know how to look at Minato so he has chosen to avoid him for a bit. He will dedicate his day to visit the flowershop, remembering that girl turned into an airship from the experiment back in January, it has been a while since it happened but... February was too chaotic for him to remember that he wanted to check on her. He will also drop by the Welcome Center to help anyone who may need it there. And the library.

Other than that he may get caught almost anywhere in the village.]

I don't sparkle, either.

[ actually, sunlight does hurt, but she's got a fun spelled by a witch ring that lets her walk free in it. she's not about to tell anyone about that anytime soon, though. ]

[Keiichi doesn't really care, he just thinks that it's cool for her to be able to walk around daytime, no matter the how or why. Still... Sparkle?]

Wait, vampires sparkle? In which series?

Twilight. I used to think the books were pretty cool until I started living the live of the littlest vampire who could. Then all of that romanticized horror just looks ridiculous in the face of actual horror.

[ a bit of a lie. she still loves those books and fangirled at jacob black upon meeting him here, but she promised jake she wouldn't tell anyone he was a werewolf. so she's not mentioning that characters from the book series are here. ]

I don't think I know that series... Must be from my future then. Anyway I agree with you, fiction always ends being ridiculous when facing reality in those situations. I mean, if you have a boring and normal life fiction may seem impressive but... Conspiracies aren't as fun as they seem in books when you have to fight them.

I'd love to have a boring, normal life. "Exciting" isn't all it's cracked up to be.

That makes two of us then. Though I suppose that if I was at my world I would be able to enjoy a normal live for the future... Then again with previous experiences I wouldn't bet on it, just in case.

So, what were you up to? Taking a stroll around? Or had some objective in mind?

Do you want to go home?

[ she often wondered how many people would be content to just live out the rest of their lives here and how many would jump at the opportunity to return to their own worlds and times. ]

Oh, uh, just looking for someone, my-- [ ex? that was true, but it wasn't exactly true for the moment. woe, complications. ] My, uh-- The guy who turned me into a vampire, but it's no big. If he doesn't want to be found, he's not going to be found. He'll show back up whenever.

Sincerely? No, I don't want to. Even if everyone else left I would prefer to stay though... Well it's not that I don't want to go back home, I want to. But I want to stay too and that want is bigger and more important as things are so. Priorities, mine is to stay here.

[Keiichi just blinks and looks at her a bit worriedly.]

You... Are okay, right? I mean, he turned you but he's not an enemy or something for you, if you're looking for him I suppose so but... It could also be that you're looking for him to settle matters or something.

[ caroline just nods in understanding. ]

What? Of course! I mean, Damon can be a jerk, but he's not like bad or anything. I just need to talk to him about a few things, is all.

[ he's only bad when he feels like it! sob caroline, your life choices. ]

Good, sorry. I just thought that maybe he turned you and you were angry or even that the turning you had been an accident when he tried to kill you or something. Not that I like to think bad but with this place and how it has no qualms on bringing with us people who don't hesitate to hurt us, one can't help but wonder.

It wasn't like that. It was...

[ caroline tucks a stray strand of hair behind her ear and looks down at the ground. ]

I was in a car accident and it was...bad. I had all this internal bleeding and they doctors didn't think they could save me. So, Damon gave me blood-- vampire blood heals. I got better, but then something else happened and I died anyway. His blood was still in my system, so I transitioned and became a vampire.

Oh, I see. He's certainly a good guy then... Sorry.

[Now he really feels like an idiot for worrying at first. He has made her remember something that she probably prefers not to.]

[ worrying is valid where damon's concerned. he's a ticking time bomb of unpredictability with an impulse control that's hovering somewhere around nil. when caroline was human, he'd compelled her to aid him in his exploits and did things that she would never forgive him for, no matter what he did to make light of himself, but it's different now. caroline's like him, stronger. she can take care of herself. ...and strangely, damon actually seems into playing the maker role he so happily shoved upon stefan back home. ]

When he wants to be, but he's not a threat. Promise.

Good, I don't like to see my friends being threatened, you know? I have seen enough of that... Though it's probably too much to ask for to not want to see it ever again.

[ caroline laughs, though she smiles brightly-- really, she appreciates the gesture. ]

I'm a vampire, Keiichi. I think I can handle myself.

Yeah, as if vampires can't get hurt... Well I don't know if they can or not but, whatever, one never has too much help or people worrying over them and willing to help.

Actually, we heal pretty fast. Watch!

[ oh jesus. impulsive as ever, caroline reaches down and grabs a rock off the ground, then slices open her arm with it. slowly-- not as rapidly as it would back home, given the power cuts in luceti-- it heals back up. she wipes the blood away with her hand and shows him the flawless, repaired skin. ]

See?

[Keiichi just... Makes an incoherent surprised sound when he sees her slicing open her arm, but it starts to heal before he can do anything else but flail.]

[And then he simply stares at the repaired skin and her... Way to give him a heart attack.]

I... I see... I would have believed you even if you didn't do that, you know. Don't do that again, eh? Really, I don't need showing to believe... At least it was just your arm.

[If she was any more crazy and impulsive she may have gone for a more dangerous part.]

[ she probably shouldn't have done that, but mini!damon has impulse control issues, s-sob. ]

...sorry.
