[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.

[Natsuo is wandering around nearby, really freaking boooooored and with no idea what to do with himself. He overhears Willis, sighs heavily and nods in agreement.]

This town is stupid and boring.

[He looks up after hearing someone else speak, nods in agreement, aaand then head back on handlebars - wait.

Double take.

Cat ears and a tail...?]

Huh...? [Slow blink. That can't be.] ... A Digimon?

[fortune_sought]

[not another child! Sophie abandons her exploration to hurry over to him] Wait! Have you just arrived?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[Oh hey, a person! ... Hurrying over to him? What?]

Uh, yeah. Just a few hours ago. Why?

[fortune_sought]

It's not safe! You shouldn't be wandering alone. [she steps up to him, her concern clear. really, being pregnant is bringing out her maternal instincts horribly] What's your name?

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

I can handle myself well enough. [Although ... dood, not "safe?" So much confusion. That wasn't covered in the welcome vidscrean, man.] I'm Willis. You are...?

[fortune_sought]

[ah, another one of those. well, she's not letting him off that easily] Sophie Hatter. It's nice to meet you, Willis, but I'm quite serious. Someone in town has died, so it's best not to wander around alone.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Died? Guess that explains why there's no one around. [Still really confused, but... he doesn't really seem all that concerned.] What are you doing wandering around, then? [Not insulting at all - he's honestly curious.]

GAH my tag didn't go through what even.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[That -- That's someone Xion doesn't recognize, so she runs up to him.]

Hey!

[To Willis, he'll see and hear a boy with wild spiked brown hair and too-blue eyes wearing a black coat (http://images.wikia.com/kingdomhearts/images/5/56/Cloak.jpg), hood down.]

lj eats things :c

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[Random person with a black coat coming up to him? Thaaaaat seems kinda strange. He looks up and gives a small wave.]

Erm. Hello?

/whaps LJ on the nose

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

You... You're new here, aren't you?

/applauds

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I just got here today. Why, are you the welcoming committee?

/bows

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Ah... [Xion rubs the back of her neck sheepishly.] I can be.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

I see. [Looks around briefly before shrugging.] There doesn't seem to really be a lot of people around who need welcoming, though.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[... /swt. Xion looks around, too.]

There used to be townspeople... They just disappeared recently, and we don't know why.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Disappeared? [Raises an eyebrow.] Like, "poofed into thin air, no one's heard from them since" sort of disappeared? I thought that sort of thing only happened in movies.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

Yeah, like that.

This place... Weird stuff happens sometimes. And sometimes it's really bad.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[Groaaaan. Head, meet handlebars.]

They could've at least put a warning in that welcome message.

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

They try to make it seem like it's a happy, nice place... and they really want it to be. I know that. But it just... doesn't quite work out that way.

[Xion hesitates. He just got here, and it's something alarming to hear, but... He needs to know.] You should be careful... A woman died, and we don't know how or why. We're trying to do an investigation, check out the town and look for clues, but... I thought you should know.

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[Yeeeep, not looking up from the handlebars. Really. What did he walk into. Why is this real life.]

So. Someone dies mysteriously and half the town disappears. I'm assuming no one knows if it's murder or not?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

[Xion shakes her head.] I don't think we even know how she died. It's really weird...

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

Maybe if people can mysteriously disappear for no reason, people can drop dead for no reason. Backwards logic, but hey.

[painlessfighter]

[Slow blink in return]

Huh?

[irreversibly.livejournal.com]

I guess that's true. [^^;]

[summer-doors.livejournal.com]

[Staaaaare. What even is this.]

... You have cat ears.

[Captain obvious, whoooosh.]
