[unfinishedstory]

*In her spirit of not failing quite so much at everything involved in training, Clare came to breakfast! ...Okay she overslept and didn't have time to make her own breakfast, but the point is she is here and sitting quietly trying to have breakfast and make new friends. Taking steps toward having more friends.*

*By taking her food and sitting by herself away from the others.*

*...Okay, baby steps.*

[pathofstrength]

[NO SUCH LUCK because someone is very deliberately going to sit by you to eat, Clare. Granted, it's someone you already know...]

[unfinishedstory]

*Sapph you don't count, Clare only avoids you when she's honesting. So she is totally smiling at you when you come over.*

...Sorry I kinda shut you out the last two days, the chocolates kinda got to me and I needed space. You were alright, I mean, nothing too weird?

*Clare did not want to tell her kid sister type person about her horrible sexy thoughts. It's just kinda tacky, and possibly illegal.*

[pathofstrength]

Ahh.

[Sapphire takes a messy bite out of a piece of toast and nods with a sympathetic frown. No big, that chocolate business was weird...]

Nah really, kinna fuh-y thinns wen' on -

[- she chews and swallows -]

- but, uh, I got off easy! Didn't eat too many. Don' think I'll be takin' a bite outta anythin' that jus' shows up at th' door again, though.

[unfinishedstory]

*Clare meanwhile is the picture of quiet and casual, delicately eating her pancakes. Cutting perfect bitesized bits for herself.*

It wore off for me yesterday, well after noon. The 14th was... horrifying, but I did at least make a few new friends. I think.

*Clare paused to eye her food from breakfast, wondering if the same thing could be done to it. ...But since she's already started its a bit late to get worried about that.*

What'd you end up with, cause there was a lot of stuff that those chocolates could do.

[pathofstrength]

[…clare how many of those things did you have that they lasted so long.]

Well, I had two, an' one made my hand get stuck on someone! But I ain't sure about th' other one, 'cos I didn't notice anythin' else. Th' rest I tossed 'cos I got t' one that tasted like fish.

[Narrowing her eyes at her next bite of toast.]

Who th' heck'd make chocolate that tastes like fish? Yechh.

Oh right I have an icon for this too.

[unfinishedstory]

*Four but she is very weak constitution at this spirit stuff*

The legendary holy blade Excalibur. Apparently his tastes are... *be polite, not after V-day* horrible and he should not be around people.

*She stops to enjoy more of her food.*

I didn't mind the hugs, it was just the telling my innermost thoughts to anyone that has me... well, deciding to sit over here away from the others.

*That and you are a lil coward, Clare Edwards.*

Re: Oh right I have an icon for this too.

[pathofstrength]

[Sapphire is in the process of licking crumbs off her fingers when she hears the part about Excalibur and startles, nearly biting a finger and actually biting her tongue.]

Mggn!

[ow wince. Sticking out her tongue, poking it, closing her mouth and grumbling for a second.]

Agh...hold up, legendary? Wha's somethin' like that doin' handin' out chocolate?

[unfinishedstory]

Not a clue.

*Clare eyes Sapphire a moment, trying to figure out what about legendary made her freak out like that.*

Apparently he's a very powerful Weapon, able to work with any Meister and give them great powers. But he's so obnoxious nobody can work with him for more than a few days, at the most.

Kid would get rid of him if he could.

[pathofstrength]

...That seems a little odd!

[She's very big-eyed over this piece of information, and obviously thinking hard about something else as she talks.]

But I guess it'd have t' be a strange s- uh, person ta hand out sweets. An' fish-sweets. That on top a' bein' so powerful. Have ya ever seen 'im?

[unfinishedstory]

No, I don't get involved with most of the local population too often. I know it's a bit petty but the whole death motif here is creepy.

And after his stunt on Valentine's day? I would probably not be very polite to Excalibur if I see him.

[pathofstrength]

I guess...

[But he's still a legendary weapon - Sapphire has trouble dismissing him so easily. The weirdest legendaryboner…

She's quiet for a moment...but the topic of Excalibur is evidently still her first interest.]

An' no one's ever stayed partnered to 'im?

[unfinishedstory]

Kid said his longest partnership lasted a few days. He apparently just drives everyone away after enough time with him. *Clare, stop thinking that sounds familiar.*

*Notice Sapphire's interest instead, good cover.* ...Why all the questions about Excalibur?

[glassworkgenius]

[Taiyou didn't see anybody he knew, and while he initially was going to sit where there were more people he kind of felt bad seeing somebody place themselves so far away.

And thus! Clare now has a seatmate. ... It takes a few seconds before Taiyou realizes not saying anything would be impolite.]

You don't mind, do you?

[unfinishedstory]

*Clare looked just a bit unsure of why someone was coming to sit with her. Not like there was a lack of seats, but it would be rude to send them away.*

Not at all.

*Clare was pleasant, and this guy didn't seem trouble. So why not? She picked at her food a bit more before realizing that they should actually talk.*

I'm Clare. How long have you been in the city?

[glassworkgenius]

[Company means happiness! ... Or at least, it does in this kid's head.]

And I'm Taiyou~ Hmm, a few days, I think? This is my first morning training session.

[unfinishedstory]

*Haha, yeah, Clare would disagree on that type of thinking... just a little.*

It doesn't change much. New faces show up, old faces vanish...

*Clare stop being accidentally depressing. Just because things change does not mean you have to dwell.*

But it's a good idea to show up here, no better way to learn about how things work here. How are you handling the city so far?

[glassworkgenius]

Hm... I guess that's just how it is. I'll have to get used to it.

[Easier said than done though, isn't it?]

Death City isn't bad. I've made a couple of friends already~ I just hope I can be helpful in the war.

[unfinishedstory]

There isn't much option but to get used to it. I mean you could try to change it but you'll just go insane. *Clare, being optimistic!*

That's good, it gets easier if you get used to some people. Anyone from your own world here?

[glassworkgenius]

[Despite how serious it actually is, Taiyou takes it in stride and chuckles.] Yeah going insane doesn't sound very healthy.

There are a few... Some of them I don't know personally, but they're friends of a friend.

[unfinishedstory]

It really isn't, and it makes all your friendships complicated. *Clare made a joke about the incident with the black blood, she's getting better... ish.*

It's still a bit nicer to know at least a few people get you, you know? Everyone's from such different backgrounds nothing is certain. Even if they are just friends of friends.

[glassworkgenius]

That's right! I've already met someone who's had this happen to him before, even. Getting stuck someplace he didn't know... How about you, Clare-san? Is there anyone you know here?

[unfinishedstory]

Nope, nobody from home. I'm not sure if this is a good thing or not. *Clare's expression was a bit distant, and unsettled.*

I mean, I would love to have someone here I know... but I don't belong here, same goes for pretty much all my friends. *Or ex-friends, as the case is for nearly all of them.*

Also it makes room for making new friends, like you.

[glassworkgenius]

It's both, I guess. You feel like there are people easier to relate to, as you mentioned... but then, they'd also have to fight.

And while we don't "belong" here in the worldly sense... I think it's not bad to start. Feeling welcome, that is. When you have friends by your side, what else do you need? [He grins, trying to be reassuring.]

[unfinishedstory]

Yeah. *Clare nodded, it was nice that people just got it.*

I guess... they have done a good job of making it easier to adapt. They don't nearly have to be so nice to us, yet they are anyway. ...Almost makes up for the sun and the moon. *She's never getting over how creepy they are.*
