first page ❁ hello castle

[bearcub]

[There's a young man standing in the lobby, looking rather confused. He appears to be wearing deerskin clothing and a knitted poncho, and there are a couple of pouches and a large knife attached to his belt.

The teen's hair is a mess, gray in color and rough, like it has never seen a comb. Little blue beads are visible here and there in the dreads-like strands, and he has a black cloth sash tied around his head, covering one eye.

His other eye is also gray, and seems to be slightly unfocused as he's looking around the room. He appears lost and confused, his journal forgotten on a nearby table.]

[man, he seems pretty spacey. Zuko... waves a hand in front of his face]

--Hey.

[bearcub]

[Senri holds up a hand to stop Zuko's waving, and then glances at the other teen with a questioning look.]

[honorinflames]

[awkward question, but...] ...Are you from one of the Water Tribes?

[he dressed kind of like one, the weaponry, the blue beads... it seemed to add up. And with how randomly people from his world seemed to show up here? Seemed to make sense]

[bearcub]

[awww]

...?

[Senri seems puzzled. Tribe... he glances at one of the beaded dreads that fall across his nose, and then back at Zuko. After some hesitation, he shrugs.]

[honorinflames]

[...he was really expecting a yes or no answer here. The shrug is confusing.]

Huh?

[--oh. he then glances down at himself, and the fact that he's still pretty obviously wearing Fire Nation clothing]

Oh... I don't care or anything. I just want to know.

[bearcub]

[The teen shrugs again.]

...don't know.

[honorinflames]

...What do you mean you 'don't know'?

How can you not know?

[bearcub]

[This obviously needed explaining.

Senri was not good at talking.

So he shrugs again.]

[honorinflames]

[...two great communicators, right here]

You don't know where you're from?

[bearcub]

[Finally, a response!

...he shakes his head.]

[honorinflames]

Oh.

[...



...He didn't expect him to actually agree.]

...Do you not remember or something?

[bearcub]

[He seems thoughtful at that... there was something he was looking for, but things just seemed to get hazy.

...the teen shakes his head again.]

[honorinflames]

[yeah, this... is not what he was expecting by talking to this kid]

Is that all you don't remember?

What's your name?

[bearcub]

[There's a pause, and then finally;]

Senri.

[honorinflames]

Senri... You don't remember anything about where you're from? Like, if there was... snow?

[what else can you say about the Water Tribes, really]

[bearcub]

[Snow?

...


...


...no, nothing. He shakes his head again.]

[honorinflames]

What were you doing right before you showed up here? Where were you?

[bearcub]

[More headshaking. He remembered being somewhere nice, but the location and the faces of the people were blank.]
