Ven? This place is...

[...definitely not Master Yen Sid's tower. This wasn't anywhere she had seen before at all, in fact. It was closest to Destiny Islands, but the similarities there ended with the beach. How had this happened?

And, more importantly, where was Ven? A quick look around didn't turn up any sign of him, but that didn't mean he wasn't here. Aqua would make sure to check everywhere she could, first. After finally finding him again before ending up here, she certainly wasn't going to write him off as gone so easily.]

...I'll just have to find him. At least there's no sign of Unversed yet.

[Someone had been out for a stroll. . .and what luck~~ He's going to be moving towards you now, offering a little bow.]

". . .Melloriiiinee~ What a beautiful new face we have here~"

[If you'll allow it, he'll be taking your hand to kiss it.]

[rainfelling]

[She'll allow that, but only because you caught her off-guard. So, she'll also be taking that hand back as soon as you're done. Totally not used to the attention.]

Er-- J-just where is "here," anyway?

[seekingallblue.livejournal.com]

" . . .an island called 'Kunpuu'. In short, it's ruled by mermaids, inescapable and pulls people from all different dimensions and times."

[He'll offer you another little bow.]

". . . My name is Sanji - I run a restaurant nearby. . . Would you grace me with your own name, Mellorine~?"

[rainfelling]

--Inescapable? [Nnnot good. The dimension thing she can handle because it's not an entirely new concept, and time is...weird, but not too surprising considering the cross-dimensions. Not being able to leave, however, makes her frown worriedly. She has two boys to track down, preferably quickly.]

...In any case, my name is Aqua.

" . .Aqua~ What a beautiful name fitting for a very beautiful lady~"

[After a moment he speaks again.]

". . . I wouldn't worry though. I've heard that eventually whenever the island decides to return you. . . "

[. . Or rather if it does. He's not going to add this part though.]

". . .It'll send you back to exactly where you were before you ended up here. Nothing in your time will have progressed without you."

[rainfelling]

T-thank you.

[That news does make her brighten a little--brings back more of that hope.]

That's something, at least. [They wouldn't be getting into trouble without her, which she's grateful for. Though the fact she'd just been reunited with Ven, just to lose him again already if it turned out he wasn't here...]

I was so close to getting Ven back. ...But he could always show up too, right?

[seekingallblue.livejournal.com]

"Of course. There's no telling who might show up - you really never know. Sometimes people seem to arrive with a group of people from their own world all around the same time."

[rainfelling]

That's a relief. [And earns you a smile.] Thanks, Sanji.

So, you said you run a restaurant here?

[seekingallblue.livejournal.com]

[He smiles in return.]

"It's certainly no problem for a beautiful young woman such as yourself~ Should you need anything, all you need do is ask."

[In response to that question of yours he'll nod.]

"I do. One that you're certainly more than welcome to - along with a free meal if you'd like."

[. . .He seems eager at the opportunity to cook something for you. He likes cooking for women.]

[rainfelling]

...I could at least help out a little in return.

[She'd feel kind of guilty about a free meal, seeing as how it's your business and all.]
