Alisa: It's so easily complex! De Arimasu~! [Complete]

Character(s): Alisa Southerncross and anyone who happens by
Content: How do you used journal--!?
Setting: Joutenheim Gate
Time: Early evening, Week 18
Warnings: RETARDEDNESS

Well, so much for dinner. And here Alisa was hoping to feast on a large Dark Race. Oh well, finding herself in a line for something she had no idea was for wasn't a bad thing, right? Well, right up until she got the front of the line. She wasn't accustomed to being shoved some strange device and trying to hear what the people at the gate were saying. One moment she was asked her name, the next moment she was shoved a box thing and sent on her merry way.

Luckily, she did hear the people talking about how it was supposed to be a journal. Alisa studied the device for a good minute before she opened it. She then stared at the opened journal with a hard glare.

Why is it called a journal when you can't write on it? Where's the pencil or pen? This journal is a lie!

Urd was enjoying a new bottle of Dragon Dance sake on a bench under the awning of a quaint little shop when she saw the girl. My, a lot of new people were coming through the gates lately, weren't they? She watched her study the journal, sipping at her drink with quite amusement. Only when it seemed like she'd start to do serious harm to the journal did the goddess stand up and head towards her.

"Hello," she greeted her with a mild smile, arms crossed under her chest. "You alright? You seem a bit confused."

Upon hearing a voice, Alisa's head almost bolted straight to the source. A... human? No... maybe not. Her glance remained the oddly angry glare that she was so easily used to making. Alisa didn't answer immediately, just observed and glared and... trying to make sense of this lie of a journal.

"... ... How do you use this... thing?"

The only reaction Urd displayed at Alisa's glare was a slight twitch of the eyebrow. "It's electronic. Do you have electronics in your world? Here, I'll show you..." She reached out to take the journal from her hands but paused, looking with confusion at her headband. She couldn't be sure, but she could have sworn she sensed some kind of...life force from it.

"That's...an interesting headband you got there," she said, glancing back down at the girl with an arched eyebrow.

Well, they did have things like computers, cell phones, personal digital assistants and all those other gadgety things back in Tokyo. But, well, when you're busy hunting down creatures all over the world, you don't have time to keep up with the times. You deal with that when you become human... right? "I haven't used any... electronics before."

Alisa held up the device so the lady could grab it. When the woman mentioned her headband, Alisa perked up. Were she any other type of girl with a blobish thing in her life, she'd be a bit suspicious at that remark. Unfortunately, Alisa was just a bit flattered. "Thank you... it is very special to me," she replied, reaching a hand to adjust it a bit. It's true, it is pretty special.

Urd blinked, smiling slightly. The more she was standing this close to the girl, the more she was convinced something was off about her...and that headband. Well, she wasn't one to judge. Weirder people have certainly entered the gates before, after all. She turned her attention back to the journal.

"See, this here is the screen; when you turn the device on, you'll be able to see what other people have written as well as write something as well. If you push this button, you don't have to push these buttons to type...you can just speak and it'll record it. This button will bring you to the map of the city." She closed it and handed it back.

"What's your name?"

The same could be said about Urd. Alisa definitely could tell this woman wasn't any normal human, but it was unclear whether she could call her one of the Dark Race. She was being very helpful, which only Fuyuki's alien friends were, to her knowledge. Well, she wasn't going to question it right now.

Alisa simply listened closely to the explanation of the journal device. It sounded all simple and easy enough to use. "Alisa. Alisa Southerncross," she answered as she grabbed the journal back. "Thank you... for your help."

"You're welcome." Urd stepped back a bit, giving another curious look to the headband again before glancing at Alisa again. "I like to help the new people coming in. We all felt lost and confused coming here, believe me." She folded her arms under her chest and gave her a friendly smile.

"I'm Urd. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask."

"I see..." Alisa caught the glance at her headband. Was it cute looking? Or maybe one of Daddy's eyes was peeking out. Alisa doubted that last one. She figured the woman was just awed by her headband.

As soon as Urd finished her last sentence, Alisa bolted right up out of her seat and once again glared at the women. "I'm looking a boy named Fuyuki." Alisa continued on with so many details about the boy, the key to many things. "It's important that I find him. Have you seen him?"

"Ah...w-wait..." she muttered during Alisa's stream of details about this Fuyuki. Urd just decided to let her ramble on, not at all convinced she could stop her even if she wanted to, a bemused expression on her face. When the girl finally finished, she held out her hands in a placating manner.

"Sorry, I don't think he's here. I would have noticed someone..." she paused. Somehow she got the impression calling him "normal" would be seen as insulting. "...someone like that."

Alisa tried to look disappointed. This was going to be a problem, but in another way this was an opportunity to capture many Dark Race creatures to show off to Fuyuki. "He'll be proud!" she thought to herself. Oh well...

"Perhaps he looks too normal to stand out..." Oh no. it wouldn't have been insulting at all.

Urd laughed a bit sheepishly, her hand going to the back of her neck. "Oh, trust me...being normal is a sure way to stand out here. There's...quite a lot of abnormal people here." She dropped her hand, expression turning more serious and a bit apologetic.

"It's probably better that he isn't here...it's not exactly safe here. And we're all stuck here, besides."

"Stuck... here? An exit is that way," Alisa said, pointing to the gate which she had just came through. "And besides, I can protect Fuyuki is I need to." Though, how long that'll last was up to the boy, in her mind.

Abnormal people, huh. Sounds like more of the type that tried to keep Alisa from taking Fuyuki, that one day. Maybe it wouldn't be as bad as it sounds here.

"Ah...ha ha..." Well, she had a point there. "I meant, you can't get off this island. Even if you manage to get past the guards, who would really like you to stay inside the city, there's no way over the ocean. And I suspect the water will just keep going far longer than any of us can swim, human or no."

Urd paused, stroking her chin as she gazed down at Alisa. "You...you're not exactly human yourself, are you?"

Alisa was already planning a way to get past the guards; should be easy enough to do. If worse came to worst, she could probably turn them to stone or something. She wasn't about to let a bunch of humans stand in her way back to Tokyo.

Upon hearing Urd's last question, Alisa's gaze turned away. So she figured it out, huh. This Urd definitely wasn't just any normal being to have figured it out. "... No. I'm trying to become one," she answered, eyes barely trying to look back towards the woman.

She smiled, lowering her hand to her hip. "That's a good goal. I like humans." Urd tilted her head, trying to get a glimpse of the girl's eyes. "Can I ask you why, though? Is it because of...Fuyuki?" It wouldn't be the first time someone had striven to become something other than they were for the sake of love.

Alisa felt a strange urge, an urge to blush. Unfortunately, it never did come out right. Was she trying to become human for Fuyuki? That wasn't the case at all, at least, at first. Fuyuki was just her ticket to becoming human. Alisa wasn't sure, it has been a very long time since she thought about WHY she wanted to become human.

Alisa shook her head in response to the question after her moment of thought. "Daddy wants me to become human. To... have a normal life."

The more information this girl gave her, the more questions she had. Urd blinked, more curious about Alisa than before. But, rather than load her down with even more questions, she simply reached out and gently patted her shoulder. "Sounds like a good man. If there's anything I can do to help you here, let me know, okay?" She grinned, tossing her hair of her shoulder.

"We should all stick together here. There's more than enough creeps trying to ruin our lives in this place."

Alisa wasn't used to receiving kindness aside from her daddy, and sometimes Fuyuki.

It made Alisa a bit uneasy.

"I see. I will... be careful. And let you know if... I need something," Alisa responded quietly. Alisa did her best to smile back at Urd. Well, if she is someone of the Dark Race, she's definitely not that bad. It would be nice to... have some friends here.

Well, now. Alisa looked much more human when she smiled. Her own smile turning gentle, Urd nodded in approval at the girl's apparent obedience. "Good. I'll let you go so you can explore this place more." With that, she turned and began to walk away, waving a little over her shoulder.

"See you around, Alisa. Be good!"

Alisa nodded in response and watched Urd leave. Alisa waited for Urd to leave her sight before she turned her headband into a pair of wings and flew off to explore.

"Maybe Fuyuki is somewhere else."
