[Willis has spent his first few hours in Luministi being confused. And whining a lot. And then assuming this was all a dream, taking a nap, waking up, and whining some more. Eventually he decided that if he was going to be stuck here... he might as well explore.

So he spent the next hour riding around town on his bicycle in an attempt to figure out the layout of the town. Which is kindasorta empty. Which is only making him even more confused.

Yeah, guess who has absolutely no clue about the murder yet.

He stops his bike near the library and leans forward, resting his head on the handlebars.]

Agh. Jeez, so much for finding something interesting.

[Half-shrug.] Annoying. It's over now, so whatever.

[desertdaggers]

At least it's not anything you need to worry about now!

[gives him a look. then again, kids usually do have a penchant for strange questions. explains, patiently] No, wizard's aren't royal. The Royal Wizard works for the king. There are two Royal Wizards--my husband Howl and Wizard Suliman. I don't work for the king.

[Silence as he thinks that over for a moment... And then he shrugs, smiling a bit.]

Yeah. Yeah, it's really not. Hopefully everyone won't have to worry about what's happening here much longer, too.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

That's a pretty misleading name, then. "Royal Wizard." [Why are all these other cultures so strange!! ):] Huh. So you don't work for the king, but you can still talk to him?

[fortune_sought]

Why is that? Any position under the king is royal.

Yes, because my husband works for him. And I watch Princess Valeria at times.

[... Okay actually that does sort of make sense! Ahaha he's just going to pretend an actually stupid question wasn't just asked.

He'll move on to other stupid questions instead.]

So you get to babysit a princess?

[fortune_sought]

[she'll let him off with that one because pfft, kids]

Sometimes, yes. She's still very little, so someone needs to keep an eye on her at all times.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Very little? Like, toddler little? Sounds like a royal handful.

[fortune_sought]

[laughs] Very much so.

Do you have any younger siblings, Willis?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

No, I don't. I... kinda know what it's like to look after one, though. [Well, a Digimon isn't exaaactly a younger sibling, but hey it can't be that different.]

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I'm in A3 West.

[desertdaggers]

[He rubs his hand against his side.] Haaaah… well, we'll see. That's what we're working towards, at least!

[fortune_sought]

Really? Who do you look after?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[Shakes his head.] "Working towards," huh. How much of the city is actually optimistic about that?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[... Oh snap. How do you even explain Digimon? Should he explain it? He considers that, and then his expression quite visibly falls as he thinks of the Digimon friend he lost just before arriving at the city.]

Just... people. [A lie, yes, but he feels it's an easier explanation.]

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Other side of town, then... [Shrug.] That's sort of depressing.

[desertdaggers]

Well, I'd like to say 'all of us', but I don't know that everyone thinks that way. Most of us here at the moment, though, I'm sure!

[fortune_sought]

[frowns, concerned, but she doesn't press him] I see.

Well, then that means you'll be very good at helping to take care of other residents while the town is so dangerous, right?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[A small laugh at that.]

Sure, but I was sort of under the impression you thought I couldn't even take care of myself in this city.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Well, hopefully all that optimistic thinking will pay off in the end.

[desertdaggers]

With action behind it, I'd hope!

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Well, it's not too bad. [Xion holds up her CAT.]

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Ah, these! I almost forgot about them. Are they actually useful?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

What sort of action is everyone even taking, anyway?
