1st Shot [Action]

[Having already traded what he awoke in for his own slacks and black-and-red jacket, This latest arrival to the village might not be as clearly marked out as other New Feathers, but the presence of a new face, and one buried in his Journal when not scanning his new home in consternation, might well mark him out immediately to those who have spent

[Rena was running a few errands as usual in the village when she suddenly was bumped into by the New Feather. She held onto her basket tighter to keep it from dropping out of her hands and quickly shook her head.]

Oh, no, it's perfectly all right! I should've been watching where I was going too. Are you okay?

[Michael's apologetic smile immediately brightened as he suppressed a laugh at his own thoughts. With neighbors like this, living here couldn't be all bad.]

Don't worry about me, I'm just trying to get myself oriented~ Are you sure you're alright, miss...?

[She smiled at him once she had composed herself.]

Rena. Rena Lanford. I'm fine, thank you... It's nice to meet you, sir. Were you looking for something in particular?

[action]

[sapphire_sniper]

A pleasure to meet you too- Call me Michel.

[He snaps his journal closed, stowing it under his arm.]

Nothing in particular, except maybe information. Woke up just a couple hours ago...

[he laughs morbidly.]

Certainly wasn't expecting this. But I'm at least caught up on the basic details thanks to this book.

[Given that Emil is small and not exactly paying much attention to where he's going either, the force of the collision knocks him back onto his rear with a startled yelp. Immediately he looks up to see who he just ran into... oh. A New Feather. That makes this even more embarrassing.]

I-I'm really sorry, I should've been paying attention...

Don't worry about it- I was too preoccupied with this... book myself.

[Michael closes his Journal around a finger to mark his place, then extends his free hand to Emil to help him up.]

Probably doesn't help that I've got no idea where I'm going in the first place either...

[Action] thanks so much for the alert, LJ

[ratatosk_knight]

[Emil takes the hand and stands, looking rather embarrassed. What a way to make a first impression.]

Have you been to the store to find your weapons yet?

[DISTRACTION IS A GO. Let's try to make himself look like less of an idiot now!]

Re: [Action] thanks so much for the alert, LJ

[He grins. This place seemed quite peaceful, but some of the things he had heard about the "experiments" here had him worried.]

I wasn't even aware that there was one. Wouldn't mind having my rifle on hand... though I'd hope it wouldn't see much use here.
